Let $f(x)$ be a continuous function from $\mathbb{R}$ to $\mathbb{R}$. Consider the set of functions $af(x+b)$ for $a,b \in \mathbb{R}$. If that set is closed under addition, what can $f$ be? I suspect the possible $f$'s are exponentials, sinusoids, constants and their products. (For example, the sum of any two sinu...
I am having issues computing Riemann tensor of 2D manifold. It should be very simple, but I cannot see the mistake I am making. Assume a 2D manifold with metric in very simple form $$\tilde{g}=\frac{1}{f(x)^2}(dx^2+dy^2).$$ Since this is evidently conformally flat (indeed all 2D manifolds are, but here one can se...

In this case, it is known that if $E$ is path connected then $h$ is uniquely determined by the image of a point. In Dieck's *Algebraic Topology* page 65 it is claimed that this same property holds if $E$ is connected, but ...
I am studying topology and I have some doubt about the following. I show what I have tried. Any help would be really appreciated! Let $ X $ be the quotient space of the Euclidean Plane (with usual topology) w.r.t. the equivalence generated by "$x$ is equivalent to $y$ IFF they are both not the origin and they lie on...
> So from the start: if we take a Platonist perspective (which I was taught as the most pedagogically effective philosophy to have when learning set theory) then we assume sets in some way or another exist along with the intuitive properties like membership. We might do that, or we might e.g. take a more neutral for...
I am currently learning multivariate function calculus and trying to figure out the relationship between differentiability, continuity, and directional derivatives. My main question is, if a directional derivative exists in all directions at a point $(x_0, y_0)$ and satisfies the equation $$D_{\vec{u}}f(x_0, y_0) =...

I am currently studying Cubic residue characters from Kenneth Ireland and Michael Rosen's "A Classical Introduction to Modern Number Theory", and this is the definition given in the book: If $N(\pi) \neq 3$, the cubic residue character of $\alpha$ modulo $\pi$ is given by $(a)$ $ (\frac{\alpha}{\pi})_3 = 0$ if $\p...

It's a known fact (see for example Bartoszynski and Judah: Set Theory, On the Structure of the real Line) that for a filter $F$ on $\omega$ the following conditions are equivalent: $F$ is Lebesgue measurable. $\exists$ a family $\{A_n: n\in \omega \}$ such that - $A_n$ consists of finitely many finite subset...
Let $(M,g)$ be a Riemannian manifold of dimension $n$ and let $g_{ij}$ be the matrix of the components of $g$ in coordinates. Since $g_{ij}$ is symmetric and positive-definite, it can diagonalized by $g_{ij} = PDP^{T}$, with $D = \text{diag}(\lambda_1, \ldots, \lambda_n)$ diagonal and $P$ orthogonal. For $s \in \mathbb...
I was wondering: is there a sequence of positive numbers $(a_n)$ such that $\sum a_n<\infty$ but for every $0<p<1$, $\sum a_n^p=\infty$? None of the convergent series I was able to come up with fulfilled this property. But it seems to me that there must be one. Any suggestions?
Let $k$ be a field and $R = k[X_1, \ldots, X_n]$ and $I = \langle X_1, \ldots, X_n\rangle$. I am trying to prove that the quotient ring $\frac{R}{I^r}$, $r\in\mathbb{N}$ is local, i.e., has only one maximal ideal. Here we define $I^r$ as the ideal generated by the products $f_1\ldots f_r$ with each $f_i\in I$. By th...
Is this quotient of a polynmial ring local?
I'm not sure how to approach this, as my understanding would be to use (maximal ideal of R, maximal ideal of C) but not sure how to find these, I know for Z max ideals are mZ where m is prime but not really sure how to find max ideals for other uncoutable sets?
What are some of the maximal ideals in ℝ×ℂ?
