### Injectivity of the Dehn-Nielsen-Baer map?

If $S$ is a closed hyperbolic surface, is there an easy proof of the injectivity of the Dehn-Nielsen-Baer map from $\mathrm{Mod}(S)$ to $\mathrm{Out}(\pi_1(S))$, taking an element of the mapping class ...

### What are applications of commutativity theorems for rings?

Herstein's little book "Noncommutative Rings" has a chapter called Commutativity Theorems in which he proves results like Jacobson's theorem: if a ring (associative with identity, please) has the ...

### Free actions of non-amenable groups

Let $G$ be a locally compact, second countable, non-amenable group, let $X$ be a metric space that is not necessarily compact, and let $G \curvearrowright X$ be a topological action that is free ...

### A question on an set of 8 matrices related to the SU(3) generators

SU(2) and SU(3) differ quite a bit. The Lie algebra of SU(2) formed by the three generators g_n is the same as the algebra formed by the SU(2) matrices/elements F_n=exp (pi * i * g_n / 2). In fact, ...

### How to give a $\Delta$-complex structure?

The quotient space of a finite collection of disjoint 2-simplices obtained by identifying pairs of edges is always a surface,locally homeomorphic with $\mathbb{R^2}$. But I am not able to prove , ...

### One identity in Lie algebras

Let $L$ be a (non-restricted) Lie algebra over a field of prime characteristic $p,$ $UL$ be its universal enveloping algebra and $a_1,\dots, a_p \in L$ (the number of elements is equal to the ...

### $H^s$ norm of a solution of a nonlinear Schrödinger equation

I'm reading the paper "Global existence and scattering for rough solutions of a nonlinear Schrödinger equation on $\mathbb{R}^3$ by Colliander, Keel, Staffilani, Takaoka and Tao. They study the ...

### Bounds on the spherical measure of sub-level sets of quadratic forms

I'm wondering if there are any bounds on the spherical measure of sets of the form $$\mu_n\left(\{y\in S^{n-1} : \frac{y_1^2}{y_2^2} < \alpha\}\right) \leq f(\alpha)$$ where $\alpha$ is some ...

### On the compactification of moduli space of vector bundles

Let $X$ be an irreducible, nodal curve over an algebraically closed field of genus at least $2$. Denote by $U(r,d)$ (resp. $U^0(r,d)$) the moduli space of torsion-free (resp. locally free) sheaves of ...

### Does the Tutte polynomial of iterated cone graphs detect isomorphism?

Let $T_G(x,y)$ denote the Tutte polynomial of a graph. Of course we may have $T_G(x,y) = T_H(x,y)$ for $G$ and $H$ non-isomorphic graphs. Now let $c(G)$ denote the cone graph of $G$, i.e., the graph ...

### Dense subgroups in subgroups of profinite groups

Let $G$ be a finitely generated residually finite group and $\hat G$ its profinite completion. Then for all $g\in \hat G$ we have $gGg^{-1}\leq \hat G$ is dense. Suppose that $H\leq \hat G$ is a ...

### Tensor Algebra Quotients of the Ext-Alg of an SU(2)-Module

Let $V$ be a simple (left) $SU(2)$-module, and $T(V)$ the tensor algebra of $V$. If we quotient $T(V)$ by the ideal generated by a simple submodule of $V \otimes V$, is there a general system for ...

### Can ITTM recognize a non-measurable set?

Throughout the question ITTM refers to Hamkins' infinite Turing machines, though I will be interested in results related to stronger models. Recently I was wondering, is it consistent that there is ...

### Finding a “special” non singular submatrix

Given a square integer matrix $A \in M_n(Z)$ and two subsets $I, J \subset \{ 1, \ldots, n\}$, we define $A_{I,J}$ as the sub-matrix of $A$ containing the rows (resp. columns) whose index is in $I$ ...
