Why is the Borel $\sigma$-Algebra on a subset of $\mathbb{R}^d$ said to be incomplete wrt. to the Lebesgue measure? As I understand a complete measure space contains all subsets of all sets of measure zero from the $\sigma$-Algebra. Any set of measure zero in the Borel $\sigma$-Algebra of a subset of $\mathbb{R}^d$ ...

How do you show that $\mathrm{Aut}_\mathbb{Q}(\overline{\mathbb{Q}})$ is uncountable ? Thanks in advance
Let $G = (V, E)$ a critical graph; i.e. a graph s.t. for any subgraph $H \subseteq G$ we have $\chi(H) < \chi(G)$. I was requested to prove that $\chi(G) \leq \delta + 1$, where $\delta$ is the degree of the vertex (or vertices) of lesser degree in $G$. I presume that I need to relate a sub-graph $H$ that involves ...
I recently came across a problem when trying to deal with a set of numbers with n elements.

Let $E/\Bbb{Q}$ be an elliptic curve. $H^1(G_{\Bbb{Q}},E[2])$ is bijection with the set of pair of torsors and divisor of degree $2$. Let call the latter set $WCD(E/\Bbb{Q})$. I tried to construct a bijection between them. Is the following correct ? I'm having difficulty showing its well-definedness, so I my try...
I have a question regarding a definition in Kanamori's book on page 136.

There are two obvious (smooth left) actions of $\mathrm{SO}(3)$ on $S^2$.

The set $Ham(M,\omega)$ of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms is a subgroup of the set of symplectic diffeomorphisms $Symp(M\omega)$ is proven in the following lectures notes https://jumpshare.com/s/tkHDIaSse4wwcxlG3mW1 (proof of proposition 3.42 -pag 110 (=pag 120 of the pdf)) But I have no idea what is going on in som...
Sometimes I see questions like this: $$\frac{dy}{y}=2dx$$ where $y = 1$ when $x = 0$ My book tells me to do this: $$\int_1^y\frac{dy}{y}=\int_0^x2dx$$ At first I thought this was a clever way of saying 0=0 (as an integral from $a$ to $a$ is always zero) to solve the problem. Then I saw this question: > One meth...
How can you set bounds algebraically for integral equations?
