Let $A\subset \mathbb{P}^2$ be the set defined by the equation $X^3=Y^2Z$. I have the map $f:\mathbb{P}^1\rightarrow V$, $[S,T]\rightarrow [S^2T, S^3, T^3]$. I want to find another rational map $g:V\rightarrow \mathbb{P}^1$ (not necessarily a morphism) such that $f\circ g$ and $g\circ f$ are the identity wherever they ...
>Doesn't it just show that $g(n)=100n^3$ is bounded by $C∗n^3$? Well that is what it means to be $O(n^3)$ by definition. Recall that $g$ is $O(f)$ if there exists a positive constant $C$ and some $x_0$ such that $|g(x)|\leq C\cdot f(x)$ for all $x\geq x_0$. In other words, $g$ is $O(f)$ if it is *eventually* dominat...

Question from an old exam: >The King of Squares sets out to patrol the City of Squares. The City of Squares is an infinite ladder, i.e., a graph $(V, E)$ where $V = \mathbb{N} \times \{0,1\}$ and the vertex $(x, y)$ is connected to $(x-1, y)$ for $x>0,(x+1, y)$ and $(x, 1-y)$. Unfortunately, due to the revolt, some pa...

### Question: When $f \in C^2[a;b]$ we define $ \|f\|_2=\sqrt{\int_{[a;b]}|f|^{2}}$ and when $f$ is bounded on $[a;b]$ we define $\|f\|_{\infty} = \sup_{x \in [a;b]} |f(x)| $. Is it possible that it exists a $C>0$ that verify for all continuous function on $[a;b]$; $||f||_{\infty} \leq C \|f\|_2 $ ? ##...

Consider a finite group $G$ with subgroups $N$ and $M$, where $N$ is normal in $G$, $N \cap M = 1$, and $[M, N] \leq \Phi(N)$, where $[M, N]$ denotes the commutator subgroup of $M$ and $N$, and $\Phi(N)$ represents the Frattini subgroup of $N$. The question arises: is $M$ necessarily normal in $G$? To explore this q...

If a function $G(x)$ is defined by $$G(x)=\int_a^xf(t)dt$$ Then by the [Fundamental Theorem][1] I can see that $G(x)$ is an antiderivative of $f(x)$ and thus $$G'(x)=f(x)=\frac{dG(x)}{dx}$$ My confusion starts when I look at the integrand $f(t)$ and its variable $t$. The integrand $f(t)$ must have an antiderivative...
Hint: let $$f(x_1, \ldots, x_{n-1}) = \sum_{0\le i< j\le n} \frac1{x_j - x_i}$$ and $\Omega:=\left\{(x_1, \ldots, x_{n-1}): 0=x_0 < x_1 < \cdots < x_{n-1} < x_n =1\right\}$. Can you prove that $f$ is convex? What is the limit of $f$ on the boundary of $\Omega$? Is $\Omega$ open? What is the gradient of $f$?
Say I have a $\sigma$-algebra $\mathcal{F}$ and its completion $\mathcal{F}^{\ast}$.

According to [OEIS][1], the formula for getting the number of arrangements of any subset of `n` distinct objects is: $$\sum_{k=0}^n{n \choose k}k! = \sum_{k=0}^n\frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}k!\\ = n!\sum_{k=0}^n \frac{1}{(n-k)!} = n! \sum_{k=0}^n \frac{1}{k!}$$ From the first expression to the second expression is the form...

Find a sequence $a_n$ such that $P(X_n > a_n)$ tends to $\frac{1}{2024}$. (In the formula, you c...
I was reading Ozawa's book and in Chapter 5 they discuss $C^* $-algebras of locally compact Hausforff étale groupoids. I have a question regarding the reduced $C^* $-algebra construction. It is first defined by considering the $* $-algebra $C_c(G)$ and endow it with a $C_0(G^{(0)})$-valued inner product defined for ...
For example, consider the function $\phi:\mathbb{Q} \rightarrow \mathbb{Z}\times\mathbb{N}$ defined by $\phi(\frac{p}{q})=(p,q)$ for any $\frac{p}{q}\in\mathbb{Q}$. The way this function is defined relies on how the set $\mathbb{Q}$ is defined, that is, $\mathbb{Q}=\{\frac{p}{q}:p\in\mathbb{Z},q\in\mathbb{N}\}$. I ...
What is the proper notation when defining certain functions?
The Lah numbers satisfy the following rising-falling factorials relation \begin{equation} x^{\overline{n}} = \sum_{k=0}^{n} L(n, k) x^{\underline{k}}, \end{equation} where $x^{\overline{n}}$= $x(x+1)\times ... \times (x+n-1)$ and $x^{\underline{n}}$ = $x(x-1) \times ... \times (x-n+1)$. What would be the p...
In Statistical Inference, we were taught this theorem, Consider an estimator $T_n$ of population parameter $\theta$, using $n$ samples. $T_n$ is a Consistent Estimator of $\theta$ if $$E[T_n] \to \theta \text{ and $Var(T_n) \to 0$}$$ However the converse of the above is not true. To show this, I made the fol...
This is essentially very similar to Sangchul's solution, but I think the approach might be easier to understand/motivate. Hints/Observations towards a solution. If you're stuck, explain what you've tried. 1. $a_n$ is a decreasing sequence. - OP mentioned this, but did not explicitly show this. ...
Let $D$ be a set of lines in the real projective plane such that for all $d\in D$, $\bigcap (D\setminus \left\{d\right\})=\emptyset$ and let $Dot(D)$ be the set of all dots that belong to at least two members of $D$. $D$ is *complete* if for any pair of dot in $Dot(D)$ the line that contain both dots of the pair is...
Here is the problem: The time it takes for a baker to bake a loaf of bread without it being underbaked is normally distributed with a mean of µ minutes and a standard deviation of σ minutes. Bread is considered to be slightly baked if it is baked for longer than (µ + 1.5σ) minutes. What is the probability that bread r...

Consider an homogeneous PPP in $\mathbb{R}^2$ with intensity parameter $\lambda > 0$, and denote the set of _generator seeds_ in the spatial domain as $P = \{p_1, p_2, \dots, p_N\}$. At the same time, envision a Voronoi tessellation of the planar point set such that the space is sparated into regions based on the prox...
For example, consider the function $\phi:\mathbb{Q} \rightarrow \mathbb{Z}\times\mathbb{N}$ defined by $\phi(\frac{p}{q})=(p,q)$ for any $\frac{p}{q}\in\mathbb{Q}$ such that p and q have no common divisor except 1. The way this function is defined relies on how the set $\mathbb{Q}$ is defined, that is, $\mathbb{Q}=\{\f...

# Background I am trying to understand the paper ["On $C^2$-smooth Surfaces of Constant Width" by Brendan Guilfoyle and Wilhelm Klingenberg][1]. However, despite my efforts to decipher the paper, I can't follow what it is describing. This paper is written around complex differential geometry, and appears either to p...
Can you explain Section 2.2 of this paper to someone who hasn't learned Differential Geometry?
