Hi
 
g'morning
 
1:34 AM
Hello
Is it possible CFE to have terminals like S->P , P->x
I know it can be written as S->x directly but is this wrong?
 
Zee
2:07 AM
The smell of rotten dreams in the air...
 
 
2 hours later…
4:05 AM
Call a 2-subset of {1,...,2n} a "duad." Call a collection of n disjoint duads (i.e. a partition of {1,...,2n} into duads) a "syntheme." Call a partition of (2-subsets of {1,...,2n}) into 2n-1 disjoint synthemes a "synthematic total," or "total" for short. How many totals are there, as a function of n? For n=3, the standard answer is 6, which is related to the construction of the (unique) outer automorphism of S_6.
 
Hmm. Now I want to make some pun on 'duad-enom'
 
SBM
@Semiclassical no; intestinal issue?
 
I didn't say it would be a good pun.
 
SBM
@Semiclassical oh
Automorphism?
 
shrug
 
4:29 AM
I am a bit confused with this limt
$$ \lim_{x\to 0}[\frac{tanx}{x}] $
$$ \lim_{x\to 0}[\frac{tanx}{x}] $$
where [] r5epresents gif
or greatest integer function
I am unable to understand how the answer comes out to be 1
I think that the answer should be 0 and 1
@Semiclassical
@SBM
 
SBM
@Abhishekstudent
At x=0 tan x ≈ x right?
 
SBM
So what happens if you divide two things that approach the same value and take limits
 
SBM
You get the limit is one, right?
 
4:36 AM
yes
BUT, WHY ISNT THAT THE CASE WITH SINX
 
for x close to 0, tan(x)/x is in between 1 and 2, so [tan(x)/x]=1
 
when I am doing this by replacing tanx with sinx
 
for x close to 0, sin(x)/x is in between 0 and 1, so [sin(X)/x]=0

Q: Which of the following sets in $\mathbb R^2 $ have the positive lebesgue measure?

PK StylesWhich of the following sets in $\mathbb R^2 $ have the positive lebesgue measure? For twe sets $A,B \subset \mathbb R^2$,$A+B$={$a+b:a\in A,b\in B $} 1)S={$(x,y):x^2 +y^2=1$}. 2)S={$(x,y):x^2 +y^2<1$}. 3)S={$(x,y):x=y$}+{$(x,y):x=-y$}. 4)S={$(x,y):x=y$}+{$(x,y):x=y$}. Since lebesgue measure...

 
ok
when, x<0 tanx < x
 
4:38 AM
and both are negative
so tan(x)<x divided by x (when x<0) gives tan(x)/x>1
I mean, tan(x) and x are odd functions, so tan(x)/x is even.
if you know tan(x)/x>1 for x>0, then you know it for x<0 too.
 
4:52 AM
Is $S_\omega$ generated by 2 elements? What about $S_{\omega_1}$?
 
$S_{\omega}$ is uncountable isn't it?
(bijections $\Bbb N\to\Bbb N$, effectively)
unless it's supposed to be permutations with finite support,
in which case no it's not generated by 2 elements
 
5:17 AM
I think in the above question I posted in, the answers both have differet answers for 3 rd question ,
also how the measure of a circle is positive
it can be thought of as a curve (closed curve)of finite length
which must have measure zero
what is the Lebsegue measure of a unit circle
$$ ZERO $$
 
@arctictern no finite support; why not?
oh, simply because it is uncountable...
 
yes
 
5:33 AM
that's... an interesting proof
 
heh
 
it's cheating
 
SBM
hmm
 
Why isn't a mouse an elephant? You could look at body hair or tail color, but the most obvious distinguishing feature is size.
 
Now I remember movie SING and Ratatouille
 
5:45 AM
@arctictern lol
 
Hallo
 
SBM
Hello
 
hololulu @Daminark
 
(Kek @Baymax) How's it going everyone?
 
gong rough and smooth for me :)
 
5:56 AM
Smooth, but what about analytic?
 
SBM
Hope things get better soon @BAYMAX
 
Lol for real though good luck!
 
thanks
 
SBM
When is a function analytic?
 
if there is a convergent power series expansion at every point
 
SBM
6:01 AM
oh
 
or may be differentiable at that point and there exists some neighborhood in which the function is differentiable at all the points in that neighbothood !
 
that's not equivalent to being analytic
you're thinking of complex functions and complex differentiability
 
Baymax, I imagine you're thinking of complex differentiable
 
sniped
 
Wai does this happen to me?
 
6:04 AM
yeah daminark
 
I think you need to be careful about real analytic and complex analytic
Also @Balarka met Farb today
He's very fun
 
yes
 
(Also very bouncy)
 
heh
 
so we cannot tell real analytic at a point in terms of differentiability?
like is there only power series criterion?
 
6:07 AM
Yeah, real differentiability is a very weak condition
You don't know as much as smoothness
 
SBM
smooth? differentiable infinitely everywhere?
 
differentiable k times does not imply differentiable k+1 times (any more than continuous implies differentiable), and being differentiable k times for all k (smooth) does not imply analytic (for real functions)
 
real differentiability is very not the same as complex differentiability
the latter, despite similarities, is secretly a PDE condition
 
he he Cauchy Riemann equation
 
Zee
It's just simply the result of the CR equation
 
SBM
6:09 AM
@BalarkaSen Cauchy Riemann equations
 
The complex differentiability => analytic proof is secretly a bootstrapping proof
 
Sniping left and right
@Balarka that's via the Cauchy integral formula, right?
 
hits all secretly with a LAW 80 :)
 
@Daminark Yeah
 
Who watched Wonder Woman?
 
Zee
6:12 AM
What is the weakest condition on a complex function for it to be complex differentible?
 
It's tricky to say which is weakest
 
Zee
Well, continues implies diff in complex functions
 
Continuous? That's not really true
 
Zee
sure its true
 
lol
 
6:14 AM
Wat?
No
 
sigh
walked into that
 
#trolled
 
is confuzzled
 
the weakest condition would be those conditions equivalent to the condition, including the condition itself.
any weaker and it wouldn't imply the condition
#helpful
 
That is a true statement
So we'll say analyticity
:P
 
Zee
6:18 AM
 
The hell?
 
Zee
I thought the word "complex" implied CR equation
To rephrase , a CR complex function that is continues is analytic
Looman menchof theorem
 
Oh well if we're assuming it satisfies CR that's another story entirely
I thought you were saying any continuous function period, and was like whoa hold on a second wat?
 
complex function just means f : C --> C
 
SBM
yes
 
Zee
6:23 AM
I realize that, I just wasn't aware I need to spell every detail
 
you don't, but you do need to use standard terminology
 
Like, your statement as stated was wrong
 
Zee
Sure but this is an informal discussion
Anyway, my original question holds
 
Yeah but you need to be clear about what you're saying
 
Zee
How far can we weaken a CR function to imply smoothness?
 
6:28 AM
Hmm
 
Zee
You can go as far as distributions but I don't if that's the weakest condition
 
Isn't a smooth complex function also analytic?
 
SBM
should be
 
Zee
Ya
 
So you can't weaken CR to imply smoothness because that'd imply analyticity which implies CR or am I missing something?
 
Zee
6:33 AM
Am asking the question assuming CR holds
You can't weaken CR since being differentible (even once) implies CR
 
I don't understand the question, assuming CR you already have smoothness
 
Zee
Only if the function is continues , the continuity can be weakened, the question is by how much?
 
@arctictern what about with finite support?
 
@LeakyNun Given any finite number of permutations with finite support, every element in the subgroup they generate will have support contained in the union of the originals' support, so the subgroup generated must be finite.
 
@BAYMAX 1:0, 2:pi, 3:infty, 4:0
@arctictern thanks
Might I say that the 3 group axioms are too strong?
 
6:50 AM
why 4th is zero having only the line $y = x$ but 3rd is infity ?
@LeakyNun
 
For example, I only need existence of left-identity and left-inverse
@BAYMAX 3 is the whole plane
 
@LeakyNun too strong for what?
 
oh
 
in other words, span{(1,1),(1,-1)} = R^2, if you are familiar with linear algebra
@arctictern well, itself.
 
yes
4th is zero
 
6:52 AM
yes
 
?
why he took the sme set added with itself?
 
yes, 4th is 0.
 
@LeakyNun logical strength of hypotheses is not the only consideration in a definition - it should also match our intuitive idea of what is being defined.
 
@BAYMAX I would have no idea.
 
groups distill the abstract properties of symmetry groups and permutation groups
 
6:53 AM
but the last set means only the line $y = x$
 
@arctictern sure. Can we make it weaker still?
 
?
 
@BAYMAX yes.
 
@LeakyNun I recall reading you can ensure a binary operation defines a group with a single axiom.
 
so measure of the line being zero area so measure is zero
 
6:54 AM
What is the dimension of the trivial vector space?
@arctictern yes, that ab' in G for each a and b in G.
@BAYMAX yes
 
Thanks@leaky
 
Well, this is ensuring that a given set is a subgroup, but you would still need to know that there's some identity lurking somewhere, and that inverses exist
 
@LeakyNun uh, no, that doesn't imply associativity
 
So I'm not sure that this is really saying less
Also yeah associativity :P
 
@arctictern then what is it?
 
6:56 AM
@LeakyNun you mean what is the algebraic structure with a binary operation having identity and two-sided inverses?
 
@arctictern no, I mean what is the single axiom
 
trying to find it again
 
Is there any result regarding the solutions of x^2 + y^2 = 1 in a ring, say Z_m?
 
break it into parts with CRT, lift from Z_p with Hensel maybe
@LeakyNun If a magma M satisfies a=b((((dd)a)c)(((dd)b)c)) for all a,b,c,d then a((bb)b) is a group operation on M.
(And there is a converse, so it is an equivalent characterization of groups.)
 
7:16 AM
@arctictern wat
 
yeah, exactly
 
7:35 AM
^I just made this song
anyone care to tell me if it has any errors?
 
7:55 AM
hello, I'm curious if anybody is aware of any first order statements one can make (say about graphs, but any vocabulary suffices) which is a tautology in all finite models but is not in all infinite models
for instance "every DAG has a sink"
this is clearly true in all finite DAGs but not in infinite ones
 
user147690
8:22 AM
@SoumyoB Sounds good to me. Everything felt like it fit together well, so I imagine there were no 'errors' (although I'm not entirely sure in regard to that, what I should have been looking for).

9:19 AM
Is the preimage theorem the same thing as the implicit function theorem ? Or am I missing something ?
 
What's the preimage theorem?
Wiki says it's a variation of the implicit function theorem en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preimage_theorem
 
@Astyx The two are equivalent. Preimage theorem says $f^{-1}(0) \subset \Bbb R^n$ is a $(n-m)$-dimensional submanifold where $f : \Bbb R^n \to \Bbb R^m$ is a smooth map with $Df(0)$ is surjective.
This is equivalent to saying for any $p$ with $f(p) = 0$ you can write $f = 0$ locally in a nbhd $U \subset \Bbb R^n$ of $p$ as a graph.
 
9:37 AM
Right, that's what I thought
Thanks
 
10:01 AM
Is there a way to use wolframalpha to calculate the residue of a function at a point? Or any other software that can calculate it?
 
SBM
try it
should work probably
 
Oh, lol, it just worked, I must have been half asleep when I couldn't get wolframalpha to calculate it yesterday evening
 
SBM
hmm
 
10:24 AM
Guys can you help me with one integral? I know the solution, but i can't prove it strict enough.
 
SBM
@FalsePromise Which integral?
 
@SBM $int_0^1 \frac{\sin (1/x)}{(sqrt{x} - x)^k}$ and i want to investigate in on convergence absolute convergence.
I'll upload the picture
of what i've done so far
so I think i have to use Abel's and Dirichlet's tests here
So i think i want to calculate the power of y herr
*here
and then say something about its asymptotics
also here alpha is any real number
so in the denominator the max power of y is alpha/2
so together with numerator we get alpha/2 -2
 
[Random, made it up just for fun]
The mathematics of circle glyphs:

$\bigcirc\bigcirc=\large{\bigcirc}$

$\bigcirc^2=\small{\bigcirc}$

${\Large\circledcirc}=\circ$

$\circ^\circ=\bigcirc$

${}^{\bigcirc}\circ=\circledcirc$

$\circledcirc\bigcirc=\mathbf{O}$

${}^{\bigcirc}\circ\bigcirc={\Huge\bigcirc}$

${\huge\bigcirc}{\large\bigcirc}=\circledcirc^2$
 
10:40 AM
Ya lost me
 
(hence the "made it up just for fun") It's not supposed to mean anything. I just happened to play with some falling sand like simulation game and got a pretty circlular pattern and thus I expressed that emotions by starting to draw and type circles randomly
I really like round things. It might have something to do with how round things tend to tie with the concept of infinity and recursions
but of course, if I do put an effort on that, I may be able to came up with an algebraic structure where it is expressed entirely using circles as the operators and symbols, but this is not my current priority
 
 
1 hour later…
11:44 AM
$x^2+4xy+ky^2+2x-2y-5=0$ indicates a parabola. $k$ has to be 4. why? i tried to reform the equation to liken $y^2=4cx$ or something like that. but it has a term $4xy$. it is impossible. i plotted it in geogebra. it is not a parabola that is parallel to $x$ or $y$ axis.
 
SBM
A parabola doesn't always need to be parallel to the x or y axes
 
yeah, i observed it :)
 
Hello, could someone help me calculate the volume between: plane z=0, cylinder $x^2+y^2=8x$ and cone $2z=sqrt(x^2+y^2)$ ?
 
SBM
hmm
 
12:14 PM
hello, anyone?
 
What have you tried ?
 
i just remembered i should try to convert into cylindrical coordinates
 
What do you get ?
 
12:30 PM
64pi?
 
Perhaps, I haven't done the calculations
I was asking what you get once you use cylindrical coordinates
 
SBM
hi chat
 
Hi
 
SBM
cylindrical coordinates?
 
$(r, \theta, z)$

Q: dimension of subspace 8

Madhuri AgarwalLet $W_1 ,W_2 ,W_3 $ be three distinct subspaces of $\mathbb R^{10}$such that each has dimension 9. $W=W_1\cap W_2\cap W_3 $.What will be dimension of W? I think dimension of $W$ will be 7 since $W_1 ,W_2 ,W_3 $ are distinct.But answer is dimension of $W$ could be 8 as well. According to my reas...

$W_{1}$ is of dimension2
$W_{2}$ is of dimension 2
$W_{3}$ is of dimension 2
in the answer
 
Yeah ...
 
SBM
@Astyx polar with the $z$ from cartesian?
 
@SBM Yeah, that's one way to see it
 
And dim$(W_{1}\cap W_{2}\cap W_{3} ) = 1$
but what do we conclude from this regarding the question ?
are we generalizing this
?
 
It's an example to show how you get can dimension $n-2$
 
12:36 PM
oh
ok so we will generalize this
 
Woops, yeah
 
to 10 dimension
like we can get intersection to that as 8
 
We will indeed, but that's pretty much trivial.
 
You can add as many dimensions as you want to these subspaces
 
yes
Is manifold a surface in 3D or is there something more to it?
:)
 
12:38 PM
A 2-manifold yeah
A curve is a 1-manifold
 
oh like if we are talking about n dimensional space then that maniflod is $n-1$ manifold
?
 
@BAYMAX It's not about the space it's in, it's about the topology of the manifold itself.
 
Formally it's something in $\Bbb R^n$ that locally looks like $\Bbb R^{n-1}$
 
The circle is a 1-manifold, whether you're in $\Bbb R^2$ or $\Bbb R^{20}$
 
ha nice one there
 
12:41 PM
I guess intuitively speaking a $n-1$-dimensional manifold in $\Bbb R^n$ is a "hull"
 
when $\Delta$ of a conic less than zero, can it refer to a hyperbola? i guess i misspell it on my notebook.
 
hey @Pjotr5 I like Pandas :)
No @AbdullahUYU I think that should be ellipse
Hey@Astyx @Fargle @SteamyRoot you heard of Slow Manifolds?
 
No, I've barely started reading about them
 
SBM
@AbdullahUYU $\Delta$ of a conic?
 
By the way is the open unit ball a manifold ?
 
12:52 PM
yeah, that was sloppy.
 
SBM
@Astyx ball? interesting.
 
If the equation of the conic is $ax^2 + 2bxy + cy^2 + dx + ey + f = 0$ then $\triangle = b^2 -ac$
@SBM
If $\triangle < 0$ then the conic represents an ellipse
 
SBM
oh that
yes
 
If $\triangle > 0 $ then the conic represents Hyperbola
 
i was going to write it, baymax did it
 
12:54 PM
$If \triangle = 0 $ then the conic represents Parabola
 
SBM
$\Delta > 0$ hyperbola
yes
 
@Astyx isn't that $\Bbb R^n$?
 
ok @Astyx if you are reading slow manifolds, can we discuss it together sometime?
 
@AlessandroCodenotti Probably, I'm brain checking. But the closed ball isn't one right ?
@BAYMAX Sure. It might not be anytime soon though
 
oh ok
 
12:57 PM
@Astyx the closed one is a manifold with boundary
With boundary means that some points have nbhds that look like the closed half space of $\Bbb R^n$ rather than $\Bbb R^n$
 
Oh right, fair enough, I didn't know about those
Makes sense
And if $H$ is a hyperplane of $\Bbb R^n$, then $\Bbb R^n\setminus H$ is a manifold (something like $\Bbb R^n\times\{0,1\}$) ?
 
I have a ps file , any one knows how to open it ?
like .ps extension
google search gives me some pdf creator then I can view
anyone encountered before?
 
@Astyx Some people require manifolds to be connected, but I don't think that's very popular? Anyway I agree, that should be the disjoint union of 2 $\Bbb R^n$
Isn't that a photoshop file?
 
No, postscript
Photoshop is psd
I don't know about postscript though
 
@BAYMAX Me too :)
 
1:08 PM
:)
 
1:36 PM
ps is a bit like pdf's predecessor
 
so like how can I open it ?
you know @SteamyRoot
 
Just like pdf is djvu's predecessor (/wishful thinking)
Well, google for a "ps to pdf converter" or a "ps reader", I guess
 
@AlexClark thanks for the review, I was just looking for notes that sounded bad in my song
 
ok
 
2:03 PM
Another student in Trento?! Hi @Gabriele
 
2:22 PM
Hello
how are you ?
 
@BAYMAX GSview is probably the best known software for opening PostScript files.
 
@AlessandroCodenotti Hi! Yes, another one here :) Master or Bachelor's?
 
@SteamyRoot I do not know much about the two formats. From my experience it seems that djvu is much better for scanned content, but for other purposes I would probably prefer pdf.
 
@GabrieleCaselli just finished the second year of my Bachelor's (as far as lectures as concerned, now there a few exams...)
I see you're a Master's student instead
 
@AlessandroCodenotti Yes, right! Just finished my Master's first year, which is also my first year here in Trento
 
2:41 PM
no one say to me Hello !!!
>_<
 
2:53 PM
Hi @Vrouvrou
 
hi @Astyx
how are you
 
Good and you ?
I'm glad the weather cooled down a bit
 
good
 
Although the rain isn't too good either
 
En Algérie il fait chaud
 
2:59 PM
Ah tu n'es pas en France ?
Je croyais
Oui j'imagine que c'est pire qu'ici
