Obstruction to the existence of global resolution of coherent sheaf

It is well known that any coherent sheaf on a complex manifold (or more generally on some complex spaces) admits locally a resolution with locally free sheaves. It is also well known that for non-alge …

Group theory in machine learning

I'm a Machine Learning researcher who would like to research applications of group theory in ML. There is a term "Partially Observed Groups" in machine learning theory which has been popularized by re …

Existence of zero-free strip of a Laplace transform (edited ..)

Problem Let $\beta$ be a probability measure on $\mathbb{R}$, and define $$ K = \left \{z \in \mathbb{C}: g\left(z\right)=\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\exp\left(z x\right)\beta ( dx ) \text{ is well-define …

Integral domains equal to intersection of their height one localizations

Which integral domains have the property that $R = \bigcap R_P$, the intersection being taken over all height one prime ideals of $R$? It is a standard fact that Krull domains, and thus noetherian no …

Is there a reasoned derivation of the coherence conditions for symmetric rig categories?

I know what the coherence conditions are, I can look them up in M. Laplaza, Coherence for distributivity, Lecture Notes in Mathematics 281, Springer Verlag, Berlin, 1972, pp. 29-72. In theory, app …

Expected value of a stochastic integral expression

I am wondering if the following expression can be processed a bit analytically, $$ E \left[ e^{aX} \int_0^X e^{bu}dW(u)\right], $$ where $W_u$ is the normal Brownian motion (1D Wiener process), and $ …

Integrate Faddeeva function

I came across this integration in my studies. $\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}|F((w_\textbf{_} - \hat{w_\textbf{_}})\tau) |^2 . d\tau$ It uses the Faddeeva function which is $F(z) = e^{-z^2}erfc(-iz)$. I a …

Existence of an invariant measure on an infinite dimensional space via Lyapunov functional

Set-up. Assume that we have a complete separable metric space $\mathcal{X}$ that is not locally compact. Let $V: \mathcal{x} \to [0; +\infty]$ be a functional such that $K_r :=\{x \in \mathcal {X} : V …

A Collatz-like function that bifurcates on primes

This is likely piling one mystery on another, but ... I was exploring a function $f(n): \mathbb{N} \mapsto \mathbb{N}$ defined as follows: $$ f(n) = \begin{cases} n^2 & \text{if} \;n \;\text{is prim …

Upper bound for number of prime numbers in a range

Theorem 3.2 in http://arxiv.org/pdf/1405.2593.pdf shows that for any $x$ there are $\gg x\exp(-\sqrt{\log x})$ integers $x_0 \in [x; 2x]$ such that $\pi(x_0 + \log x) - \pi(x_0) \gg \log\log x$. Is …

Who needs Replacement anyway?

The set theory ETCS famously comes without the Replacement axiom schema (or an equivalent) that is part of ZFC. One (to me, not apparently useful) set that one cannot build in ETCS is $\coprod_{n\in \ …

Cramér–Rao type bound for absolute estimation error

Let $\{X_1, X_2, \dotsc, X_n\}$ be independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) random variables sampled from a common distribution with density $f_{\theta}(x)$, where $\theta$ is an unknown param …

Koebe–Andreev–Thurston theorem - where can I find a proof?

Koebe–Andreev–Thurston theorem (known also as the circle packing theorem) says that any planar graph can be realized by a set of (interior-) disjoint disks corresponding to vertices, such that two dis …

When does a leaf space admit a (non-Hausdorff) manifold structure?

If $f:M \to N$ is a submersion with connected fibers, then the fibers of $f$ foliate $M$. This is called a simple foliation of $M$ and the leaf space can be identified with $N$. Suppose that a foliati …

a topos without an underlying boolean topos

I remember an example of a topos that does not have an underlying Boolean topos. My problem is, I cannot find where I saw it. The solution is supposed to have Setf and Set, and the objects of the topo …
