In lecture we were told to think about the following: > **Kummer's Lemma:** Let $p$ be an odd prime and let $\zeta := e^{2\pi i / p}$. Every unit of $\mathbb{Z}[\zeta]$ is of the form $r\zeta^g$, where $r$ is real and $g$ is an integer. This theorem says that the units of $\mathbb{Z}[\zeta]$ can be thougth as the...
Here is something I've found on the internet $$\begin{aligned} f-\int f&=1\\ \left(1-\int\right)f&=1\\ f&=\left(\frac1{1-\int}\right)1\\ &=\left(1+\int+\int\int+\dots\right)1\\ &=1+\int1+\int\int1+\dots\\ &= 1+x+\frac{x^2}2+\dots\\ &= e^x \end{aligned}$$ At first I interpreted this as a joke, but on closer in...
Given a graph $G$ and a maximum independent set (MIS) $I$, can we comment on the size of a maximum independent set of the residual graph $G\setminus I$? Note that $G\setminus I$ denotes the induced graph obtained from $G$ after deleting the set of vertices in $I$. A trivial upper bound is: $|\text{MIS}(G\setminus ...

I have been trying to become more rigorous in general, and have been trying to practice with elementary set theory. I came across the idea of existential instantiation, in which we can suppose we have an arbitrary object which satisfies a particular property. In relation to set theory, I believe this means if we have a...

The title's question is not entirely accurate, as I had to cut down the number of characters to be under the maximum number of characters allowed. Here is my real question: Let $M$ be a connected manifold with dimension $\geq 2$ and $p_1,\dots,p_k$ and $q_1,\dots,q_k$ be two collections of distinct points. Show that...

Does there exist a natural number $n$ for which there is a supremum of a set $$A = \{a\in\mathbb{Q}^+ | a^3+a\leq n^2\}$$ in the set of rational numbers? Since $f(a) = a^3+a$ is increasing function for $a\in \mathbb{Q}^+$, set $A$ has upper bound $n^2$, so we need to solve $a^3+a=n^2$? Is there such $n$?

What is the average of $n(100-n)$ for $n \in {1,2,...,100}$ I saw this problem on the internet without a method of solving it without brute force or a computer. The answer is 1666.5.

Can I find a non-trivial cubic polynomial with rational zeroes *and* rational turning points?
A distinction is commonly made between a ball (solid) and a sphere (the boundary of a ball). This distinction is made in other dimensions as well (e.g. circle versus disc, in 2D). From what I've seen trying to research this online, the word "cube" is usually used to refer to the soild. Is there any standard name for...

Let $(X,\omega_X)$ be a compact Kaehler manifold. Denote by $\iota:Y\rightarrow X$ the natural embedding, where $Y$ is a submanifold in $X$.

If $f(0)=f(1)=0$ and for every $x\in (0,1)$ exists $0<\delta \inf\{x,1− x\}$ with $f(x)=\frac{f(x−\delta)+f(x+\delta)}2$. How to show that $f(x)=0$?
I am trying to evaluate the trigonometric Fourier series expansions of three quasi-square waves, which are essentially the same quasi-square waveform, phase-shifted with respect to each other by multiples of $\frac{2\pi}{3}$. The three waveforms are as shown: [Phase-shifted quasi-square waveforms][1] $$ S_a(x) =...
There is a longer integral for which integration by parts $\displaystyle\int udv=uv-\int vdu$ was attempted: $$\frac i{2\pi}\int_0^{2\pi}\underbrace{\ln\left(1+\frac{e^{-i t}+1}a\ln\left(1-\frac1be^{\frac{e^{it}+1}a}\right)\right)}_ud\bigg(\underbrace{\ln\left(e^\frac{e^{it}+1}c-b\right)}_v\bigg) \tag{0}$$ as...
I'm trying to define a class of integral integral transforms $\mathfrak{S}:\mathcal{C}^\infty\rightarrow\mathcal{C}^\infty$ with the following property: $$\mathfrak{S}_{\psi}\{f(x)\psi(x)\}(t)=\alpha_f(t)\mathfrak{S}_\psi\{\psi(x)\}(t)$$ With $\alpha_f\in\mathcal{C}^\infty$ for any $f\in\mathcal{C}^\infty$. Such an ...

I am trying to find the time taken by a bead to slide down the Brachistochrone curve (between 0,0 and 1,-1) under kinetic friction, but I'm getting inconsistent answers with analytical and numerical methods. [This article on Wolfram MathWorld][1] solves the problem analytically, giving the equations: $$ x = a[(\...

I was reading Lazarsfeld's Positivity in Algebraic Geometry II In page 312,there is a remark says if $f: V \longrightarrow W$ is any proper morphism of varieties, with $W$ reduced, and if $\mathcal{F}$ is any coherent sheaf on $V$, then there is a non-empty Zariskiopen subset $U \subset W$ such that the natural maps...
To find all $f:\mathbb{N}\rightarrow \mathbb{N}$ such that \begin{gather} \frac{f(x+y)+f( x)}{2x + f( y)} = \frac{2y + f( x)}{f( x + y)+ f( y)} \notag\\ x = 1,\ y = 1 \notag\\ f( 2) + f( 1) = 2 + f( 1) \notag\\[3mm] f( 2) = 2\tag{1}\\[3mm] x= 1,\ y= 2 \notag\\ \frac{f( 3) + f( 1)}{4} = \frac{f( 1) + 4}{f(...
I wanted to find the properties of a circle from 3 points that are on its circumference, I understand how the problem should be solved, but the provided code after the explanation, does not match the approach, the code is as below: ```python def define_circle(p1, p2, p3): """ Returns the center and radiu...
Given a fixed channel $p(y|x)$, and denoting the discrete input pmf $p(x)$, and the corresponding output pmf by $p(y)$, prove that: $$ \frac{\partial I(X;Y)}{\partial p(x)} = I(X=x;Y) - \log{e} $$ where, $$ I(X=x;Y) = \sum_{y} p(y|x) \log{\left(\frac{p(y|x)}{p(y)}\right)} $$ **Note$^*$: the $\log$...
