### Balancing real numbers in one dimension

Given numbers $d_i \leq 1$ for $i=1,\ldots,m$, it is easy to see that you can always find signs $\varepsilon_i \in \{-1,1\}$ such that the partial sums $\sum_{i=1}^k \varepsilon_i d_i/2$, for ...

### When does the canonical model structure on $\mathcal V$-$\mathbf{Cat}$ give a structure of monoidal model category?

Let $\mathcal V$ be a closed symmetric monoidal model category. It is well known that the category $\mathcal V$-$\mathbf{Cat}$ of $\mathcal V$-enriched categories is itself a closed symmetric monoidal ...

### Primes in integral domains

Let $\mathcal O_{\mathbb K}$ be the ring of integers in a number field $\mathbb K$. It is easy to prove that the number of (non-associated) primes in $\mathcal O_{\mathbb K}$ is infinite. On the other ...

### how to find coordinate of unknown point given the distance against N known points

I am meeting with a problem, say I have already know the coordinates of N points (a1,a2,a3....) in 3D space. And I have a new point, say x. I only know the distances from x to the known N points. Is ...

### Publication in proceedings

Why and how publishing a paper in proceedings? What are the difference with a "classical" journal? What's the list of the main proceedings in which one can publish? Do proceedings papers (never, ...

### How rigid can a rigid object be in GR?

Consider a cubic lattice of space probes, with rocket motors and lasers to measure distance, and a clock to measure time. As they more from free space to the vicinity of some black hole, they try to ...

### Infinite simple p-groups with only trivial irreps in characteristic p

Is there a prime $p$ and an infinite simple $p$-group $G$ such that for any field $K$ of characteristic $p$ the only irreducible $KG$-module, whether finite or infinite dimensional, is trivial (that ...

### Characterization of the Riemann curvature tensor

Let $(M^n,g)$ be a Riemannian manifold, $a\in M$ be a fixed point. It it well known that there exists a coordinate system near $a$ (e.g. the normal one) such that $$g_{ij}(x)=\delta_{ij}+O(|x|^2).$$ ...

### Relationship of clique, independence, and chromatic numbers

For any graph $G=(V,E)$ let $\bar{G}$ be the complement graph. Is $$\text{inf}\big\{\frac{\omega(G)+\omega(\bar{G})}{\chi(G)} : G \text{ is a finite graph}\big\}$$ known? If not, what lower bounds are ...

### Probe permutationally matrix extreme properties-II

Call $S_{r}$, collection of $0/1$ matrices of rank atmost $r$ that increase rank if any $1$ is changed to $0$. Given $M\in\{0,1\}^{n\times n}$ of rank $r$, what is probability that $M$ could be ...

### regular polyhedra (and polytopes) in hyperbolic geometry, and generalisations

While there exist regular tesselations of the hyperbolic plane with arbitrary regular polygons, there are no new regular polyhedra in hyperbolic (3D) space. This being quite trivial, it is probably ...

### Polynomial functions of degree 3

Can a homeomorphic harmonic mapping $f=(u,v,w):\Omega\to \Omega'$ have isolated singular points. Here $\Delta f =0$, and singular point is a point with zero Jacobian.

### A lower-dimensional algebraic topology problem between homology group and fundamental group

Let $$A\stackrel{\alpha}{\longrightarrow}B\stackrel{\beta}{\longrightarrow}C\quad\quad (1)$$ be a short sequence of abelian groups and homomorphisms. We say that the ...

### Do the real numbers “know” that they are countable in a larger model?

(This was first posted to math.stackexchange but had no answers there after several days): Let ${\mathbb R}$ be the set of real numbers in whatever is your favorite model of $ZFC$. Then (by Levy ...

### Zeros of a Real Analytic Function [on hold]

Let $f:[0,1] \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a non-zero real analytic function. Consider $Z(f) \subseteq [0,1]$ as the set where $f$ vanishes. What can we say about $Z(f)$? This is (i) finite, (ii) ...

### Journals on stochastic approximation/control theory [on hold]

What are some good journals on stochastic approximation/control theory? Thanks
Consider the following equation $$\Delta v + p(r)e^v = 0$$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$ where $p(r)$ is a polynomial in $r = |(x_1,..., x_n)|$. I want to understand when equations like these have unique ...
