### Dimensions of $\frak{sl}_n$-representations

The dimension of any irreducible $\frak{sl}_n$-representation $V$ is clearly equal to the dimension of its dual representation $V^*$. Does the dimension of an irreducible $\frak{sl}_n$-representation ...

### Is existence of a limit cycles an obstruction for a vector field to be a global Jacobi field?

Is there a Riemannian metric on $S^2$ and a vector field $X$ on $S^2$ with the following two properties? The vector field $X$ is globaly a Jacobi field in the sense that for every point $x\in S^2$ ...

### Conformal changes of metric and Ricci curvature

Let $(M,g)$ be a three dimensional smooth Lorentzian manifold and let $p$ be a fixed point in $M$ and let $S$ be a smooth symmetric tensor of rank two on $T_pM\times T_pM$. Does there exist a smooth ...

### What to call a function that is negative on a set

Let $Y$ be a nonempty region in $\mathbb{R}^n$. I am designing an algorithm which given a point $x_0$ outside $Y$ in a finite number of steps lead to a point $x_n∈ Y$. The way I do it is that I have a ...

### Understanding non-convex subgradients and normal cones

I think I have a very good understanding of subgradients of convex functions and normal cones to convex sets. On the other hand, I have a lot of difficulties understanding them in the non-convex setup....

### localizing subcategories of a nice triangulated category

Suppose that $D(A)$ is the derived category of of a ring A. Let $b\in D(A)$ be a compact object and $B$ the localizing subcategory generated by b (having arbitrary coproduct). Does the inclusion ...

### Clarification about extensions of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operator

I am reading stuffs regarding the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operator and its various extensions to $L^p(\gamma)$, with $p \in (1,+\infty)$ and with $\gamma$ the standard Gaussian measure on $\mathbb{R}^d$. ...

### The set of bounded lipschitz functions over a compact is barrelled but not a neighborhood of zero?

I recently learned that Banach spaces are barrelled, i.e any convex, balanced, absorbing and closed subset is a neighborhood of zero (wikipedia). I'm having trouble understanding why the following ...

### Uniqueness of the direct sum of $C^*$ algebras as quotient of free products

Suppose that you have $A, B$ two unital $C^*$ algebras and let $A \ast B$ the reduced free product (I think that it is the reduced amalgamated product over the common $*$-subalgebra $\mathbb{C} 1$) ...

### Physical significance of a fractional operator

Is there any physical significance of the operator $(-\Delta)^s\pm \Delta$ when $0<s<1.$ I would like to know if there is any real life applications other than in pure mathematics.

### The Schoenflies Theorem on two dimensional surfaces

Let $S$ be a surface and $U$ an open connected subset of $S$. If the frontier of $U$ in $S$ is a two sided circle $C$, then the closure of $U$ in $S$ is a surface whose boundary is $C$. I would like ...

### What are some compact Hessian manifolds?

In case this is too general, here is a more specific question. Is there a hyperbolic threefold which admits a Hessian metric (hyperbolic or otherwise)? Background A Hessian manifold is a Riemannian ...

### Nonintegrable classical dynamical systems and deterministic chaos

I'm trying to delineate a minimal (and informal) "taxonomy" for classical continuous dynamical systems that could be interested by the phenomenon of "chaos" - unfortunately the ...
I have heard that it's a well known result (in theoretical computer science?) that if we have a polynomial $p(t_1,\dots,t_n)$ over $\mathbb Q$, we can find matrices $M_0,\dots,M_n/\mathbb Q$ such that ...
