The smallest normal set containing a subset $X$, what is a "normal set" ?
I understand in mathematics there are many "quotienting " proceduce, is this the only reason that we consider equivariant theory for different "unequivariant" theory? Are there any more applications for equivariant theory?Thanks!
The formula is not even close. You are right that d should have dimensions of length and the right hand side is unitless. Worse, the formula doesn't reduce properly if the errors are zero. Are you sure it isn't $d^2/\sigma_(d)^2$ on the left? That would fix the units. The cosine formula gives the distance estimate...
Are there integer solutions to $9^x - 8^y = 1$?
Suppose $P(x,y)$ gives transition probabilities of a random walk. I've seen $Pf=f$ being called the discrete version of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laplace's_equation">Laplace's equation</a>. In what sense are they analogous?

"Gromov Witten potential", when does "potential" mean here? What does the whole thing mean in physics? Thanks!
Using generating functions one can see that the $n^{th}$ bell number, i.e., the number of all possible partitions of a set of $n$ elements, is equal to $E(X^n)$ where $X$ is a poisson random variable with mean 1. Is there a way to explain this connection intuitively?
If not, is there only a limited rangle of polynomials for which the root can be found? Also, if $u=x^{\frac{3}{2}}+x$, is $x$ expressible in terms of $u$?

I am trying to derive the following equation for an analytic function, $f$, defined on the unit disc, $D$ $f(z)=\frac{1}{\pi}\int_{D} \frac{f(w)}{(1- \bar{w}z)^{2}}dA(w)$. {\bf Question}: Anyone have any ideas on how to derive this formula? I've been able to verify that the above is true for $z =0$. In attem...
Suppose that $A \in {\cal S}_+^n$ is a symmetric positive semidefinite matrix. Let $B = {\rm sign}(A)$, where the sign is taken elementwise. Is the resulting matrix $B$ always positive semidefinite? If not, under what conditions can we say that $B \in {\cal S}_+^n$ ?
Is a "sign matrix" obtained from a symmetric positive-semidefinite matrix itself symmetic positive-semidefinite?
How do you show that an L^p entire (holomorphic on the complex plane) function is 0?
I know this question is easy, but for the life of me, I cannot remember what we call this thing. Googling for this has offered no help. Consider an object $A$ and a second object $B$(let them be groups if you so choose). We wish to consider and action of $A$ on $B$. Moreover there is a subobject $C \hookrightarrow B...
i'm not sure what the context is for your first question, but in reply to the second one, i can mention applications in statistics that come with the word 'equivariant' attached. [they involve 'homogeneous spaces', topological spaces on which act a group of isomorphisms of interest.] a simple example might suffice t...
Your equation can be solved: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=solve+u%3Dx%5E%283%2F2%29%2Bx+for+x The mathematics that decides when a polynomial is solvable by radicals is called [Galois Theory][1] and is one of the hallmarks of modern algebra. [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galois_theory

Suppose $U$ and $V$ are 2 dimensional subspaces of $\mathbb{R}^4$. How do you determine the dimension of $U \cap V$? I know that $\text{dim}(U \cup V) = \text{dim}(U)+ \text{dim}(V) - \text{dim}(U \cap V)$. So it seems that $\text{dim}(U \cap V) = 0$.
I'm currently studying the notion of a quotient topology. The one thing I'm having trouble with understanding is what we're actually doing to the points as we're identifying them. Say we have a [0,1] x [0,1] in E^2 (euclidean 2-space) with the subspace topology and we partition X into: 1) The set {(0,0),(1,0),(0,1),(1...

Any number less than 1 can be expressed in base g as $\sum _{k=1}^\infty {\frac {D_k}{g^k}}$, where $D_k$ is the value of the $k^{th}$ digit. If we were interested in only the non-zero digits of this number, we could equivilantly express it as $\sum _{k=1}^\infty {\frac {C_k}{g^{Z(k)}}}$, where $Z(k)$ is the position o...

So I was bored and decided to figure out the indefinite integral of the absolute value function, $|x|$. Using integration by parts ($u=|x|, dv=dx$, $dx = \text{sgn}(x)=\frac{|x|}{x}$), it can be shown that $\displaystyle\int |x| dx = \frac{x |x|}{2}+C$. Now I decided to take the integral again, finding that $\displa...

gprime, thinking about cosets in the following context may help you out. Leg $G$ be $\mathbb{R}^3$, the group operation will be vector addition.

The fundamental idea of a coset is that of taking a subgroup and "translating" it to fill up $G$. A coset is just one such "translate." No coset but $H$ itself is a subgroup of $G$, since they don't contain $1$, but there is a lot of ground that can be covered by treating them like elements of a group or set instead....
