H: Small-angle approximation of $ \frac{\sin^2 x}{x^2 \sqrt{1-\frac{\sin^2 x}{3}}} $ I need to show the following: $$ \frac{\sin^2 x}{x^2 \sqrt{1-\frac{\sin^2 x}{3}}} \approx 1-\frac{x^2}{6} $$ when $ x $ is small. I think this problem is trickier than most other questions like it because in the original source there ...
H: Infer the second isomorphism theorem from the first one I'm trying to infer the second isomorphism theorem on groups from the first one. Could you please verify if my attempt is fine or contains logical mistakes? Let $G$ be a group, $S \le G$, and $N \trianglelefteq G$. Then $(S N) / N \cong S /(S \cap N)$. My a...

H: Trace norm of a trace class operator exercise in Conway Exercise in Conway's Functional Analysis book: Let $T$ be a trace class operator on a Hilbert space ${\cal H}$. Prove: $$\sup\{|\mbox{tr}(CT)|:\ C\ \mbox{is compact}, ||C||\leq 1\}=||T||_1.$$ Here, $||T||_1=\mbox{tr}[(T^*T)^{\frac{1}{2}}]$ is the trace norm. I...
H: Albert Einstein's quotation on the nature of mathematics How can it be that mathematics, being after all a product of human thought independent of experience, is so admirably adapted to the objects of reality$?$ The above quotation is by Albert Einstein. I was wondering what did he really mean by that$?$ So if we...
H: Partition of $\mathbb{N}$ into APs A continuation of this question : How does one classify the set of all partitions (into disjoint parts) $\{AP_1, AP_2, AP_3\cdots\}$ of $\mathbb{N}$ into APs such that all the APs have a distinct common difference? One such example was given by @HagenVonEitzen in the linked post: ...
H: Are the singularities of $f(z) = \frac{z^2+1}{z^2(z+1)}$ removable? Looking at the function $f(z) = \frac{z^2+1}{z^2(z+1)}$, I have found the singularities to be at $z=0$ and $z=-1$. My question is if they are removable. I expanded this into the Laurent series $\frac{z^2+1}{z^2}-\frac{z^2+1}{z}+(z^2+1)-z(z^2+1)+......
H: Does $e^{-kx} = -ke^x$? I have been working on a homework problem where I need to integrate $-ke^x dx$. I decided to factor out the $-k$ and get $e^x + C$ and then multiply $-k$ back in. However, I noticed that the back of the book gets $e^{-kx} + C$. I think that if one was to differentiate this, they would in fac...
H: Absolutely continuous on $[-1,1]$ of a function Show that $f(x)=x^2 \cos\left(\dfrac{\pi}{2x}\right)$ when $x\neq 0$, and $0$ when $x=0$, is absolutely continuous on $[-1,1]$. I'm honestly not sure how to get this one off the ground. I thought about maybe trying to prove that it's Lipschitz, but 1) I'm not even c...

H: Is it provable in ZF that there is no nontrivial elementary embedding $\pi: V\to V$? Is it open whether it can be proved in $ZF$ alone that if $\pi:V\to M$ is a nontrivial elementary embedding, then $M\not=V$?

H: What exactly does the definition of a nilpotent group mean? I'm studying nilpotent and solvable group and find it pretty hard to tell what the definition of a nilpotent group is after. For example, a group is solvable iff it has a solvable series (that is, a subnormal series such that each factor is abelian). This ...

Also, I have tried some substitutions to simplify the...

I tried using the result that any $n+1$ vectors in $\mathbb{R}^n$ are linearly dependent, but no luck he...
H: A fiber bundle with trivial structure group is (isomorphic) to a trivial bundle. How do I show that a fiber bundle with trivial structure group is (isomorphic to) a trivial bundle? I say let $\phi$ and $\phi'$ be two charts over $U$. Then $\phi=\phi'$ since there is a continuous function $\theta_{\phi,\phi'}:U\to \...
H: Relationship Between Moment-Generating Functions and Laplace Transforms According to Wikipedia, the moment-generating function $M_X (t)$ of a probability distribution $f_X (x)$ is given by $M_X (t) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{tx}f_X (x)\ dx$. Is $t$ time? If so, why does it appear in the output of this transform r...

H: Minimum distance of intersection between two spheres along a specified vector I have two spheres $(S_1, S_2)$ within a Cartesian space defined by their centroids $(p_1,p_2)$ and their radii $(r_1,r_2)$. $p_1$ is located at the origin of the coordinate frame such that $x_1^2 + y_1^2 + z_1^2 = r_1^2$. $p_2$ is locate...
H: How $\{am + pn : m, n \in \mathbb{Z}\}=\langle 1 \rangle$? I don't understand how $\{am + pn : m, n \in \mathbb{Z}\}$ is equal $\langle 1 \rangle$, doesn't $\langle 1 \rangle$ contains all integer of $\mathbb{Z}$? the passage I got it from - Prime ideal property. If $p$ is prime and the ideal $\langle p \rangle$ c...

H: Question on showing invertibility of function $\Phi: \mathcal{L}(V,W) \to M_{m \times n}(F)$ in regards to establishing an isomorphism. My question comes from a proof of establishing that the function $\Phi: \mathcal{L}(V,W) \to M_{m\times n}(F)$ is an isomorphism. The statement of the theorem comes from Linear Alg...
H: $G= \langle a, b : a^{7} = b^{3} = 1,\ b^{-1}ab = a^{2} \rangle$ and commutator group Consider the $a$ and $b$ the following permutation in $S_{7}$: $$a = (1\ 2\ 3\ 4\ 5\ 6\ 7 ),\ b = (2\ 3\ 5)(4\ 7\ 6)$$ Consider the group $G = \langle a, b \rangle$. I know that $a^{7} = b^{3} = 1$ and $b^{-1}ab = a^{2}$. Moreover...
H: Proving $\frac{1}{2^n}\sum_{z\in\{0,1\}^n} (-1)^{z\cdot (x\oplus y)}=\delta_{xy}$, where $x\oplus y$ is the bitwise sum In quantum algorithms I often find this identity: $$\frac{1}{2^n}\sum_{z\in\{0,1\}^n} (-1)^{z\cdot (x\oplus y)}=\delta_{xy}$$ where $x\oplus y$ is the bitwise sum. I am not able to prove in genera...
H: Is there a formula $A(x_1,\ldots,x_k)$ with k variables that's true for a truth assignment o exactly when a prime number of variables are true under o Answer Options: Yes, such a formula exists in principle, but currently, no one knows how to construct it Yes, one can construct such a formula, though it would get ...
H: How do I find the local max And min I'm stuck on this question and have no idea how to find the local max and min of $$\int_a^x \frac{t^2+2t-24}{1+\cos^{2}t}, dt$$ I'm not sure where to start with this one since the integral doesn't have an exact boundary. AI: You can use the fundamental theorem of calculus which s...

H: Show that $P(A\mid B) > P(A\mid B^{c}) \implies P(B\mid A) > P(B\mid A^{c})$ My initial thought is to start from $P(A\mid B)$ and $P(A\mid B^{c})$ and transform them to expressions involving $P(B\mid A)$ and $P(B\mid A^{c})$ respectively. $P(A\mid B) = \dfrac{P(A)P(B\mid A)}{P(B)}$ $P(A\mid B^{c}) = \dfrac{P(A) - P...

H: Solving $\cos(z) = \frac{5}{2}$ I'm given $$\cos(z) = \frac{5}{2}$$ and I'm trying to solve for $z$ but I keep going in circles. I know $\cos z = 5/2 = 1/2(e^{iz}+e^{-iz})$ so then $e^{iz}+e^{-iz} = 5$ but then I'm stuck AI: Taking $t=e^{iz}$ we get $$t+\frac{1}{t}=5 \implies t^2-5t+1=0 \implies t_{1,2} = \frac{5 \...

H: Example of a ring with a unique two sided maximal ideal which is not a local ring (that is it has more than one left or right maximal ideals). Let $R$ be a ring (possibly non-commutative). Definition $R$ is called a local ring if it has a unique left(and equivalently right) maximal ideal. I am looking for an exampl...
