> **Proposition.** Complete ordered fields are Archimedean. > >**Proof.** Let $\mathbb{F}$ be a complete ordered field and consider $x\in\mathbb{F}$. We must show that there is an integer $N$ such that $x<N.$ If not, the monotone sequence $1,2,3,\ldots$ is bounded above by $x$ and converges by the monotone sequence p...

How can one prove/disprove this argument for an arbitrary number $n$ of subspaces?

What do you call a function that takes an ordered set S of reals to a real and has the property that f(S) = f({f({S-{x}),x}) for all x in S? Ex summing a set of numbers. You can take out one number sum the rest then sum the partial sum with the number that was removed to get the same result.

In one of my recent answers to an optimization question (see [here][1]), I came across the following equation: $$\sum_{j=1}^n \frac{a_j}{(\lambda_j+x )^2}=1$$ where $a_j>0, \lambda_j \ge 0, j=1,...,n$. After doing some numerical checks, I realized that this equation always has **two real roots** (try it yourse...
I want to prove this statement: $\alpha \geq1$ and $n\geq 2\alpha \log(2\alpha)$ then $n \geq \alpha \log(2n)$ It seemed pretty simple but I couldn't do too much. My first attempt was $$ \log(n) \geq \log ( 2\alpha \log(2\alpha) ) $$ But this attempt didn't look promising. Could you give me a hint?
$G/ \sim$ is the set of $\sim$-equivalence classes in $G$ and $|G/ \sim|$ is the cardinality of $G/ \sim$. $|A| \leq |B|$ means that there is an injective function from $A$ to $B$. $|A| < |B|$ means that $|A| \leq |B|$ and $|A| \neq |B|$. If $\pi:G \to G/ \sim$ is defined by $\pi (x) = [x]_{\sim}$, then $\pi$ has an...
How much choice is needed to prove that $|G| \nless |G/ \sim|$ for any equivalence relation $\sim$ on set $G$?
I am reading the following paper of Calderon and Zygmund [http://matwbn.icm.edu.pl/ksiazki/sm/sm14/sm14122.pdf][1] On page 3 (252) they provide an estimate (2.3) which is following $$ |K(x-x_{\nu}) - K(-x_{\nu})| \leq \frac{1}{|x_{\nu}|^k} \omega\left(\frac{A}{|x_{\nu}|}\right) $$ where they have said earlier tha...
Here is my question: > Let $f:W\to X$ be a smooth $\mathbb{P}^1$-fibration of smooth projective varieties over $\mathbb{C}$ where $\rho(X)=1$ and $X$ is Fano. How can we get a a vector bundle $\mathscr{E}$ of rank $3$ such that $f$ is just the composition of an embedding $W\subset\mathbb{P}_X(\mathscr{E})\to X$ and ...
How to embed a $\mathbb{P}^1$-fibration into a suitable projective bundle?
I apologise in advance for my vague and borderline senseless questions. I'm just trying to get a good hold on these things and I was having a tough time putting my thoughts into words. I have two questions. 1. $\nabla f (\vec{v})$ shows the direction of steepest ascent of f at v. I feel like the jacobian is a gener...
Let us consider two bangles. On these bangles let us add $8$ pearls on each bangle, the sequence of colors of pearls are same on both bangle. But the sequence of labels on pearls is not same. Now assuming the pearls as vertices of graph and circumference of bangle as edges of a graph, these bangles would correspond to ...
Is $\mathcal{B}_n:= \{(a, b): a, b \in \mathbb{R}, a<b\} \cup \{(a, b) \cup \{n\}: a, b \in \mathbb{R}, a<b\}$ where $n \in \mathbb{N}$ is a basis for a topology on $\mathbb{R}?$ How can I prove this one? In our proof for the second condition, we have a problem in the case if both $B_1$ and $B_2$ are in the form $ \{...
