Given vector bundles $E$ and $F$ over a smooth manifold $M$ do we have an isomorphism $$\Gamma(\text{Hom}(E,F)) \cong \text{Hom}(E,F)?$$ That is, if I have a bundle map $E \to F$ do I obtain a section of the bundle $\text{Hom}(E,F)$ and vice versa? I see this being used in multiple places, but I have not found a pro...

It is well-known ghe notion of Joyal's combinatorial species. In his treatment, Joyal assumes finiteness. In fact he works with the groupoid of finite sets. The underlying idea is to capture the notkon of a structure on s finite ground set and to work "combinatorially" with. Ok, finiteness is essential for the Joyal's ...

Let the vertices of the pyramid be $A,B,C,D,V$, where $ABCD$ is the base and $V$ is the apex. Using coordinate geometry, and letting the given sides of the base be $a = AB, b = BC, c = CD, d = DA $, we can assign $A,B,C,D$ as follows $ A = (0,0,0) , B= (a, 0, 0), C= (x_1, y_1, 0), D = (x_2, y_2, 0) $ with $y_1, ...
I was solving an apparently simple equation but then it turned out I missed one of the solutions that somebody else find using another method. $\cos x=\sin x$ was the problem. I tried the associated angle method, so $\sin(x)=\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{2} - x\right)$. Performing the substitution I could equal the arg...
By the multinomial theorem we have that $$(a + b + c)^n = \sum_{0 \leq i \leq j \leq n} \frac{n!}{i! (j-i)! (n-j)!} a^i b^{j-i} c^{n-j},$$ and so $$\sum_{0 \leq i \leq j \leq n} \frac{1}{i! (j-i)! (n-j)!} a^i b^{j-i} c^{n-j} = \frac{1}{n!} (a+b+c)^n.$$ I am interested, however, in simplifying the summation given ...
> Found the subspace/base of the $x-y+z=0$. That is vectors e.g. $(0,1,1), (-1,0,1), (2, -1, -1)$.

By the Eilenberg-Watts theorem there is a monoidal equivalence between the category of $R^e$-bimodules and the category of cocontinuous, additive endofunctors on the category of $R$-bimodules. $R$ is a ring and $R^e=R\otimes \overline{R}$ its enveloping ring. The category of cocontinuous, additive functors carries ...

I have a Hermitian matrix that is invertible, that is I can write it as: $H = U^\dagger D U$, where $U$ is a unitary matrix, and $D$ is a diagonal matrix with the eigenvalues of $H$, which must be real and distinct for it to be invertible.

Why are the probability/Kolmogorov axioms called "axioms"?
Suppose we knew the expected number $\Bbb E$ of real roots of a random quadratic polynomial $aX^2 + bX + c$, where all $3$ coefficients have standard normal distribution, $\mathcal{N}(0, 1)$.

For some context, I was given an assignment to test algorithms that find the vertices of the convex hull of a set of points in 2D. One natural thing to test is when we set the input set such that all the vertices (...
I have short question regarding the universal property of the Clifford algebra. Suppose $(V,q)$ is a quadratic $\mathbb{F}$-vector space and $(\mathrm{Cl}(V,q),j)$ is the Clifford algebra. Recall that $\mathrm{Cl}(V,q)$ is an associative and unital algebra and $j:V\to \mathrm{Cl}(V,q)$ is a linear map such that $j(v)^{...
Determine the number of sequences $(a_1, a_2, . . . , a_n)$, with elements from the set $\{ 0, 1, 2 \}$, satisfying the condition $|a_k - a_{k-1}| \leq 1$ for $k = 2, 3, . . ., n$. We know that if I define the number of sequences for a given $n$ as $a_n$, then: $$a_n = 3a_{n-1} + 2a_{n-1} + 2a_{n-1} = a_n = 7a_{n-1...
**the question** We are asking for the perfect squares of four digits whose square root is the sum of the numbers obtained if we separate the first two digits from the last two **the idea** let the number be $\overline{abcd}$, where a,b,c,d are digits $32^2\leq \overline{abcd} \leq 99^2$, which means $32\le...
In the book Introduction to Partial Differential Equations by Folland, he states the claim >> Let $ \Omega$ be a bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with smooth boundary $ S$. The Green's function $G$ for $\Omega$ exists and for each $x \in \Omega , G(x, \cdot) \in C^\infty(\bar{\Omega} \backslash \{x\})$. Then he...
Let's assume that I have a sphere of radius $R$ with the spherical coordinates $(r, \theta ,\phi)$ The surface element can be expressed as $dA = R^2 \sin\theta d\theta d\phi$. By integrating over the whole surface, $A = 4\pi R^2$ Now, let's say I consider a point not at the origin but at a distance $d$ from the c...
How do I solve this differential-integral equation?
This is a question that my professor asked to the class. There are 52 cards with numbers ranging from 1 to 52 on them. There will be 2 players, and their aim is to find a card on the card list in at most 26 tries. They will have time to speak before game starts. After game starts, Player 2 will leave the room and ...
**What set of points on the $256 \times 256$ integer grid maximizes the number of vertices in its convex hull?** For some context, I was given an assignment to test algorithms that find the vertices of the convex hull of a set of points in 2D. One natural thing to test is when we set the input set such that all the ...

I want to compute the following integral $$ \int_{\mathbb{R}^3}e^{-(x^2+y^2+z^2)/a^2}\,dxdydz $$ and I thought that using spherical coordinates could make it easier, since $r^2=x^2+y^2+z^2$. With this in mind, I tried $$ \int_{\mathbb{R}^3}e^{-(x^2+y^2+z^2)/a^2}\,dxdydz=\int_0^\infty\int_0^{2\pi}\int_0^\pi r^2\si...
Define $$g=\gcd(2^{k+3}-1,-2×(2^{k+1}-1)).$$ Then we know that there exist some integers $r$ and $s$ such that $$g=r×(2^{k+3}-1)-(2×s)(2^{k+1}-1).$$ Then my question is: Can we find an explict formula for $r$ and $s$ as a function of $k$? I remark that if $k$ is odd then $g=3$ and if $k$ is even, then $g=1$. S...

Random variables on $\mathbb{R}$ with finite expectation form an $\mathbb{R}$-linear space with respect to addition of random variables and multiplication by elements of $\mathbb{R}$. Is there an understandable way to characterize all linear functionals on random variables, i.e. $\mathbb{R}$-linear functions that map r...
How can one characterize all linear functionals on random variables on $\mathbb{R}$ with finite expectation?
Let $A,B,C$ be rings. I know if $A \to B \to C$ where $A \to B$ and $B \to C$ are finite, then $A \to C$ is finite (i.e. as modules). My question is, if we know $A \to C$ is finite, does it follow that $A \to B$ or $B \to C$ is finite. Specifically, what if in this case $A$ is Noetherian and $B = A[x]$ is also Noetheri...
