### Proof : Limit of a sequence [on hold]

Prove from the definition of the limit of a sequence that $$\lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{2n^2+\cos(n)} {n^2+1} = 2$$ (that is, for a given $\epsilon > 0$, find an explicit $N_\epsilon$) Please ...

### Oscillation aspects of two-way infinite alternating series (a followup from the MO-question “functions that eventually oscillate”)

In the recent question on "eventually oscillating function" I had a heuristic for the function $d(x)$ that its amplitude is constant, but could not further describe that function. I just found a ...

First of all I would like to thank everyone over here at mathoverflow for their amazing generosity and help (for both pros and newbies like myself). I apologize if this question seems dumb; I'm a new ...

### maximum principle on compact manifolds with boundary

Let us consider the equation $Lu + f(u) = 0$ on a compact manifold $\overline{M} = M \cup \partial M$ with boundary, with Dirichlet boundary conditions. $L$ is a linear elliptic operator, and $f$ ...

### Stiefel-Whitney class of complex projective spaces [on hold]

Let $T\mathbb{C}P^m$ be the tangent bundle of complex projective space. What is the total Stiefel-Whitney class $w(T\mathbb{C}P^m)$? Let $a_m$ be the maximal integer such that the $a_m$-th dual ...

### Semiprime number theorem with small prime factor

Hardy & Wright, Theorem 437 gives a nice asymptotic for $k$-almost primes less than $x$. Can we say anything if we restrict one of the prime factors of our almost prime to having a small prime ...

### UFD and fundamental group

Let $C$ be the curve $x^2+y^2-1$, defined over $\mathbb R$. It is easy to see that $\mathbb R[C]$ is not a UFD, as witnessed by the identity $(1-x)(1+x)=y^2$. On the other hand, the real locus ...

### Deformations of associative algebras and Hochschild cohomology

I am studying the deformation theory of associative algebras (and Poisson algebras) and came across a question for which I cannot find an answer: Let $(A,\mu)$ be a commutative associative algebra ...

### Moduli space of flat connections over a torus

Let us fix a principal bundle $G\hookrightarrow P\to T^{2}$, where $T^{2}$ is a torus. Is the moduli space of flat connections on $P$ known? At least, it is known for some particular gauge groups, ...

### Automorphisms of B_n [migrated]

I'm working on a proof for graph isomorphism involving a Poset diagram. If all automorphisms for B_n are inner automorphisms, then my proof will be complete. Is this the case? Or are some of the ...

### Etale cohomology approach on $\tau(n)$

Ramanujan's $\tau$ conjecture states that $$\tau(n)=O_\epsilon(n^{\frac{11}2+\epsilon}),$$ which is a consequence of Deligne's proof of Weil conjectures. Answers in ...

### Symplectic form on a toric manifold

I have a standard question about symplectic forms on toric manifolds: Let $P$ be an $n$-dimensional Delzant polytope and let $X_P$ be the corresponding symplectic toric manifold with symplectic form ...

### Do algebraic stacks satisfy fpqc descent?

It is known, thanks to Gabber, that algebraic spaces are sheaves in the fpqc topology: Stacks project 03W8 Is the analogous statement for algebraic (Artin) stacks true? If not, is it true under ...

### Homotopy of orthogonal groups in the unstable range

We fix an integer $n$ and consider the stabilization map $O(n)\to O$. Using rational methods one can easily check that the map $\pi_{4i-1}(O(n))\to \pi_{4i-1}(O)\cong\mathbb{Z}$ vanishes for ...

### Is there a nonabelian finite simple group with Grothendieck ring of multiplicity one?

Let $G$ be a finite group. It admits finitely many irreducible complex representations $H_1, \dots, H_r$ which generate, for $\oplus$ and $\otimes$, the Grothendieck ring $\mathcal{G}(G)$ of $G$ (also ...
For each irreducible character $\chi^\lambda$ of the symmetric group $S_n$, the immanant of an $n\times n$ square matrix $A$ is defined as \begin{equation*} d_\lambda(A) := \sum_{\sigma \in S_n} ...
