I am trying to solve this problem. I got the right to left implication: If $I$ is an intersection of prime elements, let $x\in I$. Since $x^1\in I$, we know $x\in r(I)$, and thus, $I\subseteq r(I)$. On the other hand, let $x\notin I$ such that $x^n\in I$. Then, since $I$ is an intersection of prime ideals (let them...

Is the sum between a norm and a seminorm still a norm?
Let $x_1\leq x_2\leq ... \leq x_n$ and $y_1<y_2< ... <y_n$ be positive integers such that $x_1\geq 2$, $x_i < y_i$ and $y_i + 1<y_{i+1}$. Do we have that $$x_ny_n (\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2 \leq (\sum_{i=1}^n x_iy_i)^2$$ The proposed inequality has a certain "Cauchy-Schwarz" flavour, but from the lower bound side of the s...
I am reading complex analysis by Gamelin and I am having trouble understanding the square root function. The principal branch of $\sqrt{z}$ is $f_1(z)$ is defined as $|z|^{\frac 1 2} e^{\frac{i \operatorname{Arg}(z)}{2}}$ for $z \in \mathbb{C} - (-\infty,0]$ and $f_2(z)$ is defined as $-f_1(z)$ By this defini...
What is $\sqrt{-1}$ by the definition of The principal branch of square root function?
Rectangle $ABCD$ is tilted such that its base $AB$ makes an angle of $\theta$ with the horizontal floor. It has its vertex $A$ in contact with the horizontal floor, and the rectangle is released from this position, to fall freely and the vertex at $A$ is free to slide along the floor. What will be the rectangle's ...
What is $\sqrt{-1}$? and what is $i$? (definition of The principal branch of square root function)
We have to prove that $2^{7+n}\gt(9+n)^2+1$ which is true for $n=0$ (since $128\gt82)$. Assuming that $2^{7+n}\gt(9+n)^2+1$ for $n$ and prove us that $2^{8+n}\gt(10+n)^2+1$. One has $2^{7+n}\gt(9+n)^2+1\Rightarrow 2^{8+n}\gt 2((9+n)^2+2$ Is it $2((9+n)^2+2\gt(10+n)^2+1$ for $n$ integer positive? Yes it is. I...
I've been looking at the inequality: $$\left(1-\frac{3}{5}\right)\left(\frac{x}{y}+\frac{y}{z}+\frac{z}{x}\right)+\left(1+3\cdot\frac{3}{5}\right)\frac{3\sqrt[3]{xyz}}{x+y+z}\geq4$$ Which proved to be surprisingly resistant to more 'elegant methods' or I'm just oblivious to something obvious. Buffalo way works aft...
I should probably study the classical viewpoint first. I haven't yet and I will eventually but let us stick to $\infty$-operads for this question. I'm following the [lecture notes from Hebestreit-Wagner][1]. Let me recall the terminology first. One can define an $\infty$-operad $\mathbb{A}\mathrm{ssoc} \to \mathbb{\...

I am trying to prove by induction that $$\sum_{k=1}^n k^2(k+1) = \frac{1}{12} n(n+1)(n+2)(3n+1)$$ I proved the base case for n=1 easily, however when proving the inductive case for (n+1), I am met with too complex of an expression. I go from $$\sum_{k=1}^{n+1} k^2(k+1) = (\sum_{k=1}^n k^2(k+1)) + (n+1)^2(n+2)$$ A...
I want to show that for any nonnegative integers $l$ and $b$ we have $$ \frac{l}{2^{b+1}} - 1 \leq \left\lfloor \frac{l-1}{2^{b+1}} \right\rfloor. $$ I have a proof where I wrote $l = \alpha\cdot 2^{b+1} + \beta$ with $0\leq \beta\leq 2^{b+1}$, but it's not very elegant, I say. Let $l = \alpha\cdot 2^{b+1...

Let $V\subset \subset U\subset \mathbb{R}^n$. Can we construct a Lipschitz cut-off function $f$ such that $$ f=0 \quad \text{on} \quad V ,\quad f=-1 \quad \text{on} \quad \mathbb{R}^n\setminus U,\quad f^2-|f'|\geq -C \quad \text{on} \quad U\setminus V $$ hold? Could you please give me some help with details? T...
