The coordinate transformation (due to Beukers, Calabi and Kolk) $$x=\frac{\sin u}{\cos v}$$ $$y=\frac{\sin v}{\cos u}$$ transforms the square domain $0\lt x\lt 1$ and $0\lt y\lt 1$ into the triangle domain $u,v>0,u+v<\pi /2$ (in *[Proofs from the BOOK][1]* by M. Aigner and G. Ziegler). Since the invert tran...
I know that there was a guy that could get 100 decimal digits of $\pi$ before computers were able to get thousands. How did the guy do that?
Let $L,K$ be number fields and $L|K$ a galois extension. Let $(0)\neq Q$ a prime ideal in $\mathcal O_L$ (=ring of integers in $L$) and $P=Q \cap \mathcal O_K$. $Z_Q $ denotes the decomposition field of $Q$ and $T_Q$ denotes the inertia field of $Q$. Now put $Q' :=Q\cap Z_Q$ and $Q'' :=Q\cap T_Q$. How does o...
A student came to me showing a question from his exam in basic group theory, in which they are asked to prove that $\mathbb{C}^*$ modulo the subgroup of roots of unity is isomorphic to $\mathbb{R}^+$ (in both cases we mean the multiplicative groups). Now this seems to me to be a simple error in the question. I belie...
Is $\mathbb{C}^*$ modulo the roots of unity isomorphic to $\mathbb{R}^+$?
I'm currently trying to do some Fourier transformations, or at least trying to understand them. The only thing I'm worried about is the complex part of the function. All I have is some basic, self thought, understanding about complex numbers. As far as I'm concerned, a complex number exists of a real part and a comp...
Algebraic structure cheat sheet anyone ?
suppose, $f(x,y)$ is a bounded continuous function on $\mathbb R ^2$. Inspect $\lim _{ y \rightarrow y' } sup_ {x \in \mathbb R } f(x,y)$. In how far can you switch supremum and limes, or which possible term comes closest to switching these two? Ideally, there would be something like $sup_ {x \in \mathbb R } \...
I have an idea for solving the knapsack problem, but it looks too good to be true. I would like someone to explain potential problems with this approach.

Your sum has both real and imaginary parts. Because $$e^{ix}= \cos(x) + i \sin(x) \; .$$ Is $f(a,b)$ in your formula a real number? Then the transform has real and imaginary components in general. (For certain choices of $f(a,b)$, you can have purely real numbers.) If you mean $e^{-i}$, then use the formula I ...
Update: Steve points out in comments that many direct products of residually cyclic groups will be counterexamples. Indeed, I should have spotted this: every finitely generated abelian group is residually cyclic! I should have asked about **fully** residually cyclic groups, ie groups G such that for any finite subs...
If G is fully residually cyclic, does G have at most one subgroup of each finite index?
Just a quick question about the geometry of Hilbert spaces from an intuitive standpoint. Maybe just assuming we're working with $L^2$ would simplify the situation. Basically, in something like $\mathbb{R}^2$ we have the situation that $\cos(\theta)=\frac{\langle a,b\rangle}{\vert a\vert\cdot\vert b\vert}$, and the ide...
One need only consult the history of algebra to find many informal discussions on the existence and consistence of complex numbers. Any *informal* attempt to justify the existence of $\mathbb C$ will face the same obstacles that existed in earlier times. Namely, the lack of any rigorous (set-theoretic) foundation...
When ever I find definition of the quantum plane it says $A_q^2 = C<x,y>/I$, where $I = C<xy-qyx>$. What I want to know is whether they mean the unital free algebra or just the free algebra. In brief, is the quantum plane unital? Moreover, when people write $A_q^N$, they mean the free (unital) algebra with $N$ gener...

Let $G$ be a group and $G'$ its commutator subgroup. Let $\pi: G\to G/G'$ be the natural projection. Statement 1: $G/G'$ is the largest Abelian quotient of $G$ in the sense that if $H\unlhd G$ and $G/H$ is Abelian, then $G'\le H$. Conversely, if $G'\le H$, then $H\unlhd G$ and $G/H$ is Abelian. Statement 2: If $...

What exactly is "Approximation Theory"? If I read the wikipedia-article I doesn't get much clearer. Why are "pure" mathematicians interested in it? I see a lot of people that do harmonic analyse also do approximation theory.

Approximation theory includes many subject areas of analysis, but the common idea is how well a target in a topological space (often a metric space) can be approximated by the points of a narrower subspace. Some examples will illustrate the breadth of this topic. Given a real number x of a certain kind (e.g. algebr...

This is an interesting rhetorical question. On the one hand, many theoretical mathematical concepts transcend arithmetic. However, computer algebra systems (such as Mathematica) are able to express answers to those sorts of questions using a CPU that performs a limited range of simple computations. So the answer is a m...
I understand Lie groups are defined by the structure constants associated with the lie brackets, which are treated as commutators in quantum mechanics, but i dont know of a math theory related to group theory to define or use an anti commutator.

What is the formal mathematical theory behind the concept of the anti commutator used to quantize fermions?
This is in many places. I think that the whole point of model categories is that people saw you could get a lot of mileage out of the adjunction between Top and sSet (geometric realization and singular simplices). Just how good is the combinatorial model for topological spaces? The answer is that it is a Quillen equiva...
I'm not sure how one sees that finding solutions to the linear system over {0,1} can be accomplished in polynomial time. Reducing the matrix to row-echelon form is not sufficient for finding such solutions. Suppose that the reduced system has a parametrized solution set, as happens in your example. Is there any way,...
I want to why $\mathbb{Z}[x]/(1-x,p)$ is isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z_{p}}$ where p is a prime integer? Here's what I have so far, but I am unsure if I am correct.

Just to add something to the nice answers you already have. In fact this is a special case of a more general proposition. It can be shown that all the maximal ideals $\mathfrak{m}$ of the polynomial ring $\mathbb{Z}[x]$ have the form $\mathfrak{m} = (g(x), p)$ where $p \in \mathbb{Z}$ is a prime number and $g(x) \in \m...

Have you tried an inductive proof? 1. Show 0+1=1+0 2. Suppose k+1=1+k. Use this to show k+1+1=1+(k+1). Hint: Apply ∀x ∀y [x + (y+1)= (x+y)+1] twice.

I like to understand how things work. It's the only way I'll remember the rule. If anyone has a way of breaking this down into logical steps to get from one to the other... it would be greatly appreciated. why is $X^n\cdot X^m = X^{n+m}$ ?

Part (a) would give you the intuition.

Given a number of 3in squares and 2in squares, how many of each are needed to get a total area of 35 in^2?

How to find the least positive root of the equation $\cos 3x + sin 5x = 0$?

If someone gives you a random large number, the last thing you want to do is perform a deterministic primality test -- it's very likely to be composite.

That is, only by following the direction of the normal vector to the curve at that pointer could the rate of change be the maximum. ![alt text][2] But what about the...
My question is similar to [this][1], but not identical. I believe the following to be true, but I'd like a reference. Given (quasicoherent?) sheaves of $\mathcal O_X$ modules $E$ and $F$ on a projective variety $X$, $$ H^n(X, E\otimes F) \cong \bigoplus_{p+q=n} H^p(X, E) \otimes H^q(X, F). $$ > Is this true,...
