Let $A$ be an affine $k$-algebra and $\Omega_{A|k}$ the module of Kähler differentials of $A$? Under what conditions on $A$ is $\Omega_{A|k}$ a reflexive $A$-module? Clearly, $A$ being smooth is sufficient since this is equivalent to $\Omega_{A|k}$ being projective. What else can be said?
When is the module of Kähler differentials reflexive?

However, what I am trying to ask is about the dual function part instead of the integer part. As you can see, the integer variables are relaxed. However, I cannot fin...
Let's first consider solving it directly. Then discuss some point you miss. Since $\arg\left(\dfrac{z-1}{z}\right)=\dfrac{\pi}{2}$, this means $\dfrac{z-1}{z}\in\mathbb{R}^+i$, this means there is $k\in\mathbb{R}^+$ such that $$\dfrac{z-1}{z}=ki\iff z=\dfrac{1}{1-ki}=\dfrac{1+ki}{1+k^2}$$ So what is the locus of thi...
I need to find how distant the center of an orthogonal rectangle is from the center of a circle, given a specific angle. The dimensions of the rectangle are proportional to the circle radius, so they use a 0-1 range, where 1 is the radius of the circle. The objective is to get the position of the center of that rect...
I'm trying to calculate the departing angle of a geodesic using several different methods in two different coordinate spaces. Currently I'm testing the following geodesic terminal points: - Start (80°W, 40°N) - End (40°E, 21°N) The two different coordinate spaces are: - Earth-ellipsoidal (WGS-84, $a = 6,37...
Is it possible (using ZFC or any other axiom system which is known to be as consistent as ZF) to prove the existence of an ultrafilter $\mathcal F$ on the set of prime numbers s.t. there is an embedding $\mathbb R\hookrightarrow \tilde{\mathbb F}=\prod_p \mathbb F_p/\mathcal F$, but without this field $\tilde{\mathbb F...
