Reference for this theorem in representation theory?

I am not quite sure about the reference :( I always thought of this fact as follows. Matrix elements of tensor powers of a representation U are all possible monomials in matrix elements of U, so the …

Uncle of Witt algebra

Interesting/uninteresting is a very subjective thing, so let me try to just say several things that I see immediately. 0) This algebra, unlike the Witt algebra, does not have any [obvious] grading, …

linear independence of $\sin(k \pi / m)$

We have $$\sin\frac{\pi}{9}+\sin\frac{2\pi}9-\sin\frac{4\pi}9=\sin\frac{2\pi}{18}+\sin\frac{4\pi}{18}-\sin\frac{8\pi}{18}=\sin\frac{2\pi}{18}-\sin\frac{8\pi}{18}+\sin\frac{14\pi}{18},$$ and the latte …

Higher categories in logic

To elaborate on Peter Arndt's answer a bit: indeed, considering terms as 1-cells and rewriting rules as 2-cells, you can indeed obtain a rather productive higher categorical view on various constructi …

Poincaré duality for (co)homology of Lie algebras?

First, let me expand on the reply of Dietrich Burde: I got hold of the paper of Hazewinkel, and can now be more precise about what is and what is not there (last time I saw it was some years ago). …

A definition in poset theory

I recall seeing in various sources the terminology "cover preserving embedding" and "cover preserving subposet". Googling it now (https://www.google.com/search?q=poset+%22cover+preserving%22) brings s …

$A_{\infty}$-structure on closed manifold

If you require just "not homeomeorphic", then there are very silly examples of all sorts. What you want to ask is "not homotopic", I suppose. For that, I know some useful references in "Which H-spac …

Reference for an old result of P. M. Cohn

This is in P. M. Cohn, "On the Embedding of Rings in Skew Fields", Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society, Volume s3-11, Issue 1 (1961), Pages 511-530. I do not think that the zero characteris …

Solving multilinear equations

Multilinear equations are hardly easier than general equations. For instance, the multilinear equations $$ \begin{cases} x_0-x_1=0,\\ x_0x_1-x_2=0,\\ x_0x_2-x_3=0,\\ \ldots\\ x_0x_{n-1}-x_n=0 \end{c …

Identity for the associator involving a third root of unity

This is a reference request. I came across the class of nonassociative algebras satisfying the following identity: $$ (a,b,c)+\omega(b,c,a)+\omega^2(c,a,b)=0. $$ Here: by an "algebra" I mean a vect …

Asymptotics for the number of abelian groups of order at most $x.$

One reference where the asymptotic result you are asking for was first established (I think), as well as some reasonable growth estimates for $a_n$, is D.G.Kendall and R.A.Rankin, "On the number of A …

Three-dimensional simple Lie algebras over the rationals

Disclaimer: This answer is mostly an extended comment coming from my attempt to understand the answer of BR. However, the time I invested in it made me think that someone else would find it useful. Es …

Generalizing the Fundamental Theorem of Symmetric Polynomials

I heard of three relatively recent works in that direction, taking different routes and arriving to interesting information about diagonal invariants. First, there is the paper of Vaccarino that Dar …

Variants of Eisenstein irreducibility

Such a generalization (Dumas' theorem) was discussed here: Is a polynomial with 1 very large coefficient irreducible? A good source to learn about it is Prasolov's book on polynomials: http://tinyurl …
