### Difference in the Four Color Theorem

How is proving that any planar graph with maximum degree of four has a four coloring, different from proving the four color theorem? If they are different, then how would one prove it?

### Factorisation of twisted polynomials

Let $K=\mathbb{C}((t))$ and let $K_m=\mathbb{C}((t^{1/m}))$. let $K\{x\}$ denote the ring of twisted polynomials. The addition in this ring is defined as usual, but the multiplication is adjusted by ...

### Isotopy class of closed 2-ball embedded in R^3

My intuition tells me that any two topological embeddings of the closed 2-ball (aka unit disk) into $R^3$ are isotopic in $R^3$. Is this correct? Maybe easy to prove? It seems like it should be easy ...

### Rigid effective divisors

Let $D\subset X$ be an effective smooth divisor in a smooth projective variety $X$. Assume that $h^0(X,D)=1$. In particular $D$ spans an extremal ray of the effective cone of $X$. Now, let ...

### End points of continua

Whyburn (1942) defined an end point x of a continuum X to be any point having arbitrarily small neighborhoods each of whose boundaries contains a single point. Thus, he defines end point locally. ...

### Metrics and Measures on a Category of Cats : a cauchy complete category of categories

Is there a suitable way to restrict the functors between objects (and I suppose the objects themselves) of a category of categories such that we have a cauchy complete category. Can we find a complete ...

### Spectra of certain totally positive matrices

Let $S$ be the set of $3 \times 3$ matrices $A$ satisfying the following conditions: All minors are $>0$ (i.e., $A$ is a strictly totally positive matrix); all principal minors are $>1$, ...

### A decreasing sequence involving the divisor function?

Define $N_k \geq 6$ to be the $k-th$ primorial number and let $\sigma(n)$ be the divisor function. It seems that $u_k = \dfrac{\sigma(N_k)}{N_k \log\log N_k}$ is a decreasing function ? By ...

### Is the restriction map for embeddings of manifolds with boundary a fibration?

Let $M$ and $W$ be smooth manifolds (possibly with boundary) and $V\subseteq W$ a submanifold. We have a map between embedding spaces $$Emb(W,M)\rightarrow Emb(V,M)$$ given by restriction. Richard ...
