Is it consistent with ZF that $V \to V^{\ast \ast}$ is always an isomorphism?
I ask because I'm teaching a rigorous undergrad analysis class. My students keep asking me whether they have to believe that $V \to V^{\ast \ast}$ can fail to be an isomorphism. …

A funny factorization of the Jacobian coming from the lines on the Fermat cubic
Here is something which came up in my algebraic geometry class, and I'm wondering if it has a deeper explanation. Let $F(w,x,y,z) = w^3+x^3+y^3+z^3$ and let $X$ be the cubic surface in $\mathbb{P}^3$ …

Total spaces of tangent/cotangent bundles in a course where all varieties are quasi-projective
$\def\PP{\mathbb{P}}$In a course where all varieties are quasi-projective (as in Shafarevich Volume I), I am trying to figure out whether I can justify talking about the total spaces of the tangent an …

Lower semicontinuity of naive fiber size
I would like to present the following result in my algebraic geometry class, but it is seeming much harder than I would expect. Since my class is working with closed points over an algebraically close …

Conceptual algebraic proof that Grassmannian is closed in Plücker embedding
I'm planning lectures for my intro algebraic geometry course, and I noted something awkward that is coming up. We're starting projective varieties soon. Of course, we'll prove that projective maps are …

Direct proof that the centralizer of $GL(V)$ acting on $V^{\otimes n}$ is spanned by $S_n$
Let $V$ be a finite dimensional vector space over a field of characteristic zero. Let $A$ be the space of maps in $\mathrm{End}(V^{\otimes n})$ which commute with the natural $GL(V)$ action. Clearly, …

Reference for working with the implicit function theorem
I just had a student come to my office hours and ask me a ton of questions, the answer to all of which was "that's a slight variant to the implicit function theorem, which is proved by formal manipula …
