### Is this structure a Banach bundle?

Let $X$ be a Banach space. Put $Y=\{ \phi\in X^{*}\mid\;\; \parallel \phi \parallel\leq 1\;\; \&\;\; \phi \neq 0\}$ which is a locally compact Hausdorf space with the weak star topology. ...

### normality of truncated arc space

Let $X=Spec(A)$, with $A$ a normal $k$-algebra of finite type, $k$ is a field. For any integer $n$, let $X(k[t]/(t^{n}))$ the $n$-th truncated arc space, is it also normal? Same question for ...

### Counting words with pattern and majority constraints [on hold]

Problem: I have an alphabet $X$ with $n$ letters (say $n=8$, $X=\{A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H\}$). I'm looking for words with $m$ letters (say $m=8$), with three constraints: a given letter (say $A$) is ...

### Quest for a human proof of a $q-$binomial identity

Let $$f(n,k) = \sum\limits_{j = - k}^k {{{( - 1)}^{k - j}}} \binom{n-j}{k-j}\binom{n+j}{k+j}.$$ Then $f(n,k)=\binom{n}{k}$ because it satisfies $f(n,k)=f(n-1,k)+f(n-1,k-1)$ and the obvious ...

### Proof of “generic curve of genus at least 2 has no nontrivial maps to a positive genus curve”

I searched for it for a long time, but it seems that everybody is taking this for granted and does not bother to point out a proof. Would it be possible that someone points me to a proof or makes me ...

### closed and exact forms [on hold]

Is the exterior derivative of a 1-form zero? We know that $ω=dψ$; then such an $ω$ is exact and thus $d\omega=0$. Does it mean that here $d\psi$ is a 1 form and the exterior derivative of that is 0? ...

### Shift invariance for the distribution of quadratic polynomials

For a probability distribution $X$, supported on integers, define the shift-invariance of $X$, denoted by $shift(X)$ = total variation distance between the random variable $X$ and $X+1$. Let ...

### Equivalence relation defined by the existence of a homeomorphism

Let $(X,\tau)$ be a topological space. We assign to $(X,\tau)$ an equivalence relation $\simeq_{(X,\tau)}$ in the following way: $x\simeq_{(X,\tau)} y$ if and only if there is a homeomorphism ...

### Structure of the automorphism group of a Riemann surface

I was wondering if anything is known about the possible structure of $\mathrm{Aut}(S)$ for a Riemann surface $S$. More precisely, are there known obstructions for a finite group $G$ to be such an ...

### Strong solution to parabolic equation without differentiability assumption on coefficient?

Consider on $(0,T)\times \Omega$, $\Omega$ a bounded domain $$u_t(t,x) - a(u(t,x))\Delta u(t,x) = f(t,x)$$ $$u|_{\partial\Omega} = 0$$ where $a$ is real-valued and satisfies $C_1 \leq a(r) \leq C_2$ ...

### Weierstrass division theorem for henselian rings

Let $A$ be an henselian local noetherian ring. There is an old result of Lafon ("Anneaux henséliens et théorème de préparation" (1967)), which says that if $A$ is analytically normal and of ...

### Using moment generating functions [closed]

I need to find the mean and variance of a X^2, where X is a gaussian. By looking up moment generating function of gaussian, I figured out that, Var(X) = E[X^2] - (E[X])^2 = M''(0) - (M'[0])^2 Using ...

### Inequality of the norm of the convolution in $L^p(\mathbb{R}^n)$ with symmetric decreasing rearrangement?

Is it true that $$||f*g||_p \le ||\,|f|^* * |g|^*||_p\quad ?$$ where $|f|^*$ and $|g|^*$ are the symmetric decreasing rearrangements of the functions $|f|$ and $|g|$. Under what conditions on $f$ ...

### Free Loop-Space Recognition Principle

It is well-known that one can detect based loopspaces using the machinery of operads. Namely, given a group-like space $X$ with an action of $\mathbb{E}_n$-operad, then it is homotopy equivalent as an ...

### Examples that the Fermat-Catalan conjecture does not cover

The Fermat-Catalan conjecture states that there are only finitely many sex-tuples $(a, b, c, d, e, f)$ of positive integers such that (1) $a^d + b^e = c^f$, (2) $\gcd(a, b, c) =1$, (3) ...
