### A special connected subset of the Cantor fan

Is there a dense connected subset $X$ of the Cantor fan $$(C\times [0,1])/(C\times \{1\})$$ such that for every two connected subsets $X_1,X_2\subseteq X$, the intersection $X_1\cap X_2$ is connected? ...

### how to compute the number of possible trees in a tree graph? [on hold]

Let's suppose that I have a tree with n nodes. The root of my tree does not change in time. It is the same. However, the rest of nodes change their positions (...

### Minimization Proof of Conditioning on Gaussian is Gaussian

It is well known that $E[X|X+Y]$ is Gaussian if both $X$ and $Y$ are, and the result can be derived using standard density arguments. However, how can one prove it by only resulting to optimization ...

### Reference request: invariants/tableaux functions for 4 lines in $P^3$

Does anybody have a reference for invariants of configurations of linear subspaces in the projective space? In particular I would be curious to see an explicit expression of the invariant functions ...

### Why is the set of lifts of a p-divisible group canonically the same as the set of lines that span $M(G)/FM(G)$?

Let $M$ be the Dieudonne module of a p-divisible group $G_0$ over $k$, and let a lift of $G_0$ to $A$ be a p-divisible group $G$ over $A$ such that $G \otimes_A k \simeq G_0$. Let $\omega_G$ be the ...

### William Thurston's quote?

Mathematics is not about numbers, equations, computations, or algorithms: it is about understanding. Is this from Thurston? If yes, where and when it has been said. I've checked "ON PROOF AND ...

### Are complete minimal submanifolds closed?

Is it true that any complete minimal submanifold of some Riemannian manifold is closed as a subset? What about the case in which the ambient manifold is an euclidean space?

### Explaining the consistency of PRA and ZF from predicative foundations

Recently I got interested in predicative foundations, mostly because of Laura Crosilla's work and because Agda employs a predicative type theory. From the point of view of a predicative foundation to ...

### Chromatic polynomial and the circle

In https://arxiv.org/pdf/1208.5781.pdf It is proved that there is spectral sequence converging to $H^*(M^G,R)$ with the E1 page given by the graph cohomology complex $C_A(G)$ where $A:=H^*(M,R)$. My ...

### Infinite spectral norm of linear mapping [on hold]

Suppose we have a linear mapping $A:\mathbb{R}^m\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^n$. We define its $k$-spectral norm as: $\sigma_k(A)=\sup_{x} \frac{||Ax||_k}{||x||_k}$. We know that when $k=2$, $\sigma_2(A)$ ...

### Finding a curve through a zero-cycle and a dense subset

Let $k$ be a field. Is it true that for any smooth irreducible projective $k$-variety $X$ and a dense open set $U\subset X$, for any zero-cycle on $X$ one can find an irreducible curve containing its ...

### Fundamentals of Networks and Graph theory: listing labelled graphs with given number of edges [on hold]

Under the assumption of simple graph, how it is possible to determine the list of all the labelled graph with order 4, and so vertex set {1,2,3,4} and three edges?
Consider maps from a discrete group $\Gamma$ to the additive group $\mathbb{R}$. A function $f:\Gamma \to \mathbb{R}$ is called a quasimorphism if it is locally close to being a group homomorphism. ...
