A Segal precategory is just a simplicial space $X:\Delta^{op} \to sSet$ such that its $0$-th space is discrete (i.e. constant). A Segal category is defined everywhere in the literature as a Segal prec …

Say $\{a_1,a_2,..,a_n\}$ and $\{b_1,b_2,...,b_n\}$ be the real roots of two monic polynomials of degree $n$ which have a common interlacing. (say I have arranged the roots in increasing order) Can o …

The idea is to use l2 cohomology as a quasiregular map invariant. It is easy to see that there are closed 1-forms on the ring which are not exact, but it occures that every closed l2-form $f_1(x,y)dx …

I have a very basic question about prolate speroidal wave functions that can be defined as eigenfunctions to the following integral equation: $$ \lambda\cdot \psi(x) = \int_{-1}^{1}\frac{\sin 2c(x-y)} …

Theorem 2.65 in Woodin's book shows that a saturated ideal on $\omega_1$ exists after Levy-collapsing a Woodin cardinal $\delta$ to $\omega_2$. I am confused about the part of the argument where he s …

The upper asymptotic density on $\mathbf Z$, viz. the function $$ {\sf d}^\ast: \mathcal P(\mathbf Z) \to [0,1]: X \mapsto \limsup_{n \to \infty} \frac{|X \cap [1,n]|}{n}, $$ has a ''symmetric varia …

Given the partial differential equation \begin{equation} (1-x)\left[- f(x,y) + \frac{\partial f(x,y)}{\partial x} \right] + (1-y)\left[- f(x,y) + \frac{\partial f(x,y)}{\partial y} \right] = 0 \en …

I have three questions (without any real background, this is just something I've been wondering about recently) Can PA prove that PA can't prove nor disprove, say, Goodstein theorem (or any natural …

I asked this two months ago in MSE, but nobody answered, so I hope it will be suitable here. A homogenious polynomial of degree $k\in{\Bbb N}$ on a finite dimensional vector space $X$ over $\Bbb R$ i …

Fix $m, n \in \mathbf N^+$ with $m+n \ge 3$, and let $A = (a_{i,j})_{1 \le i \le m, 1 \le j \le n}$ be an $m$-by-$n$ matrix of positive integers. What is known about the asymptotic behavior of the cou …

In my answer to MO-Q: Enumerative geometry and nonlinear waves, I outline the relation between the refined face polynomials of the Stasheff polytopes (associahedra) and the partition polynomials for t …

I am currently reading the paper "The diagonal subring and the Cohen-Macaulay property of a multigraded ring" by Eero Hyry. I do not understand the following part in Lemma 1.1. here. Let $T=\bigoplus …

Suppose that $p(1)$ and $p(2)$ are primes. For $n > 2$, let $p(n)$ be the least prime $p$ such that $p-2p(n-1)+p(n-2)>0$. Does $p(n)-2p(n-1)+p(n-2)$ range through all the even positive integers? He …

I am looking for a way to say something about $$P\left(\max_{t\in[0,n]} W_t+|W_m|> x\right),$$ for $n>m$, where $W$ is a brownian motion with drift.

For $X\in \mathbb{P}^N$ a closed subscheme, one can consider the m-th Hilbert point $$ [X]_m=[\bigwedge^{h^0(X, \mathcal{O}(m))}H^0(\mathbb{P}^N, \mathcal{O}(m))\to \bigwedge^{h^0(X, \mathcal{O}(m))}H …
