Can the Pythagorean theorem be proved using imaginary numbers?
Can the Pythagorean theorem be proved using imaginary numbers? The proof must avoid circular reasoning, of course.
I asked essentially the same question at MSE, but did not receive a definitive answer,...

Vector bundles over a Stein space are projective
It is a "well known" fact that
locally free sheaves over a Stein space $X$ are projective as $\mathcal{O}_X$-modules
(see e.g. just after Lemma 1.6 in O'Brian-Toledo-Tong's "The trace ...

Why "no wandering domain" fails in parabolic basin?
Theorem (Sullivan). Every Fatou component $U$ of $f$ rational map is eventually periodic, that is, there exist $n > m > 0$ such that $f^n(U) = f^m(U)$
I am familiar with the proof: spread around ...

when does $h$ exist?
Let $\zeta(s)$ denote the Reimann zeta function in the critical strip. It is easy to see that $$ \zeta(s) = 0 \Longleftrightarrow \Re(\zeta(s))+\Im(\zeta(s)) = 0 ~~~~ \text{and} ~~~~~~ \Re(\zeta(s)) \...

Bounding a number-theoretic integral
Find a good upper bound on $$\int_1^T\frac{\zeta'(s)}{\zeta(s)\zeta(1-s)}X^sdt,$$ where $s=c+it$ for a constant $c>1$ and $X>0$ is a parameter. If needed, we can assume RH.
My attempt here is ...

Nonstationary phase method for oscillatory integral
I want to approximate an integral of the form $$\int_a^bf(t)e^{ig(t)}dt,$$where $f(t)$ is smooth, $g(t)$ is real-valued and smooth.
The stationary phase method says that if $t_0\in [a,b]$ is such that ...

When could a diligent calculus student compute all Picard iterates algebraically?
As is well known, in the typical proof of the Picard–Lindelöf theorem, one shows the existence of a solution of the initial value problem $y'(t) = f(t,y(t))$, $y(t_0) = y_0$ by considering the Picard ...
