### A question of Erdos on entire functions

At the end of the following paper, Erdos asked if there is a family $F$ of entire functions of size continuum such that for every $z \in \mathbb{C}$, $\{f(z) : f \in F\}$ has size less than continuum. ...

### Counting equivalence relations with marked classes

The number of equivalence relations on a set of $n$ elements is the Bell number $B_n$. If we wish to count the number of equivalence classes on a set of $n$ elements where one of the classes is ...

### A question about a specific inverse proposition of Combinatorial Nullstellensatz

From the Hilbert's Nullstellensatz, we have the following consequence which is usually called Combinatorial Nullstellensatz: Let $F$ be an arbitrary field, and let $f = f(x_1,x_2,\cdots,x_n)$ be a ...

### How to prepare a radical change of research field after the PhD [duplicate]

I am in the middle of my PhD in functional analysis. My undergraduate studies were focused on pure theory and so it was logical to continue in this direction. However, recently I got into contact with ...

### Rank of a particular matrix

Denote $P_{2n}$ to be collection of homogeneous total degree $2$ real polynomials in exactly $2n$ variables such that coefficient of every monomial is either $1$ or $-1$. Split variable set into ...

### Upper bound for number of prime numbers in a range

Theorem 3.2 in http://arxiv.org/pdf/1405.2593.pdf shows that for any $x$ there are $\gg x\exp(-\sqrt{\log x})$ integers $x_0 \in [x; 2x]$ such that $\pi(x_0 + \log x) - \pi(x_o) \gg \log\log x$. Is ...

### Ergodicity property for continuous-time Harris positive Markov process

I have posted this question on there, but got no answer. The following theorem is Theorem 13.3.3 of Meyn and Tweedie's Markov Chains and Stochastic Stability on page 328: Theorem 13.3.3. If ...

### Small degree vertices in an epsilon-tough graph

We say that a graph is t-tough if by deleting a set if vertices $S$, the resulting graph will have at most $|S|/t$ connected components. We say that a graph is minimally t-tough if the deletion of an ...

### picard group of a cyclic cover

I want to find any result about the picard group of a ramified double cover of a projective plane. Isn't there any general result about this case unlike ruled surface? Can you recommend any good ...

### Existence of Hecke operators with distinct eigenvalues?

Consider the space of modular forms $M_k(N)$. Any modular form $f \in M_k(N)$ is determined by a finite number of Fourier coefficients (e.g., Sturm's bound), thus there is a finite set of Hecke ...

### Set as a (strict) infinite-category?

First, let me say that I have no idea if such a post has its place here. However, I believe that the ideas I'm going to present are important. The goal of this thread is three fold: 1) trying to ...

### $\pi_8(S^5)=\pi_8(SO(6))=\mathbb{Z}/24$?

I am currently thinking about a physics model related to framed bordism $\Omega_3^{fr}=Z/24=\pi^s_3$, and the first stable example is $\pi_8(S^5)$, so I was curious about the generator, and happened ...

### Symplectic form on the third symmetric power of a plane

Let $V$ a vector space of dimension $2$ over a field $k$ of characteristic different from $2$ and $3$. Let $S^{3}V$ the third symmetric power of $V$. How to construct a symplectic form on $S^{3}V$ ...

### How small can the Mumford-Tate group of hypersurface be?

Is there some way of giving a lower bound on the dimension of the Mumford-Tate group of a hypersurface? Let's say it's of general type, say, of degree $10$ inside $\mathbb{P}^3$. I would expect the ...

### Bijection between dominant rational maps and morphisms of function fields?

Let $X$ and $Y$ be two integral schemes of finite type over a field $k$. Consider the function fields $K(X)$ and $K(Y)$. Do we have a bijection between: (a) Dominant rational maps $X \rightarrow Y$ ...

### Rectifying the definition of a closed category

The definition of a closed category I'm using is here. Suppose $V$ is a closed category and that for each object $b\in V$, $[b,-]$ has a left adjoint $- \otimes b$. The result is nearly a monoidal ...

### Is a specific sequentially closed subset of $M([0,1])$ closed?

Let $M([0,1])$ be the set of finite signed measures on $[0,1]$ (with the topology generated by the sets $\left\{ \mu \in M([0,1]) : \left| \int f(x) \mu(dx)- a\right| \leq \delta\right\}$ for all ...
Let g be an element of $GL_n(\mathbb C)$. We know that there are orthogonal groups $O(\beta)=\{X\in GL_n(\mathbb C) \mid X^t\beta X=\beta\}$ for any $\beta$, invertible symmetric matrix. Though these ...
While trying to answer this MSE question, I found that arctangents of many odd powers of the golden ratio $\varphi=\frac{1+\sqrt5}2$ are expressible as rational linear combinations of arctangents of ...
