I read in [On the spectral gap for finitely-generated subgroups of SU(2)](https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00222-007-0072-z) that every finitely generated dense subgroup of $ SU(2) $ contains a free subgroup.

This is a special case of *Hewitt-Marczewski-Pondiczery theorem*, see e.g. Theorem 2.3.15 in Engelking's General Topology: > If $d(X_s)\leq \alpha\geq\aleph_0$ for every $s\in S$ and $|S|\leq 2^\alpha$, then $d(\prod X_s)\leq\alpha$.

Helicopters problem: What is the probability of being heard but not seen?
I understand probability and statistics as a two way route. Either I begin from a random variable (r.v.) $X$ and sample from its probability distribution, or I observe a sample of values $x_1,...,x_n$ drawn from that distribution and I infer something about the distribution of the r.v. $X$. I have a conceptual problem ...
The inclusions $\mathfrak{a} \cdot \mathfrak{b} \subseteq \mathfrak{a} \cap \mathfrak{b} \subseteq \mathfrak{a} + \mathfrak{b}$ are very well-known results; you can find them in any textbook on Commutative Algebra. As an example where all inclusions are strict, consider, say, $\mathfrak{a} = \langle x^2y \rangle$ an...
If $X$ is a compact, connected Hausdorff space, we know that the diagonal $\Delta_X=\{(x,x)\in X\times X\}$ is closed in $X\times X$ by Hausdorffness. But is $X\times X\setminus\Delta_X$ disconnected in general? I know that, if $X$ has a total order $<$ such that the induced order topology is contained in the original ...
If we remove the diagonal from $X\times X$, is it necessarily disconnected?
I'm trying to figure out how one would come up with a case for [Kronecker product](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kronecker_product) of diagonal matrices.

Let $Y$ be the set of all non injective functions from $\mathbb{N} \to \mathbb{N}$, i.e., for each $n \in \mathbb{N}$, the cardinality $\bigl| f^{-1}({n}) \bigr|$ is different from $1$.

Consider the sequence $e_n = (0,0,\ldots,0,1,0,\ldots)$ in $\ell^1$ which is weakly convergent to zero in $\ell^p$. for all $1\leq p \leq \infty.$ It is then obvious, from the theorem that sequences completely characterises weak convergence, that $\{e_n\}\cup\{ 0\}$ is weakly compact.

I wanted to complete the following sum: $$\sum_{0\leq i <j<k} a_ib_jc_k$$ Where $a_ib_jc_k$ are all different geometric sequences with $|r|<1$. My attempt was to break up the sum into what each thing is bounded by: $$\sum_{0\leq i <j<k} a_ib_jc_k=\sum_{i=0}^{j-1}\sum_{j=i+1}^{k-1}\sum_{k=j+1}^{\infty} a_ib_jc_k = \s...
Let $f:[a,b]\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a function. $f'_{+}(t)= \lim_{t'\rightarrow t^{+}}\frac {f(t')-f(t)}{t'-t}$. Let $f:[0,1]\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a concave function. Then this means $\frac{f(t)-f(0)}{t}\geq \frac{f(t')-f(0)}{t'}$ for $0<t<t'$. Then as here slope is decreasing function, $f'_{+}(t)$ is equal...
Let $R \subset S$ a flat, injective extension of commutative rings, $M \subset N $ an inclusion of $R$-modules. We identify $M \otimes_R 1_R \subset N \otimes_R 1_R \subset N \otimes S$ as $R$-submodules. **Question:** Is there an immediate argument to show that $M \otimes_R 1_R = (N \otimes_R 1_R) \cap M \otimes_R...
