I'have just watched a video on youtube about turning sphere inside out (actually this is my the second time). I just wonder what kind of math i need to know to understand this mathematically ? Is this a difficult field ?
So they expect you to learn what a perfectoid space is but also feel it's necessary for you to carefully define a metric space and give an example just in case you forgot...
I think it might be an exercise in research skills. I suspect the lecturer will give us a rant about how one can read any research paper, since all you need to do is find the definition of each word, and then find the definition of each word that appears in each definition
I guess in principle sure but the issue is that in principle you could just write down what you see without really getting it, and not only that, but the pset feels like it forces you to do so since it's only a 2 week thing
Tbh while I can see a case that HW is too easy to copy, so exams need to be worth enough that you're screwed if you don't know what you're doing, I sorta feel like your ability to do math under that deep of a time constraint isn't that useful in the long run, so I'd rather have HW count for a larger proportion
Lol, I've had a class before where the psets were completely unreasonable but at least they were in principle just 10% of the grade (and actually nothing, as we found out after the final)
In Episode 11 of Season 4 of Fox's "24", we find Drinfeld modules, the central construction in the solution of the Langlands program over function fields (by Drinfeld for GL2 and Lafforgue for GLn), in use by the Counter Terrorist Unit, spearheaded by Kiefer Sutherland's character Jack Bauer.
being called a "homotopical terrorist" by bondal may well be the high point of my career! https://www.ipmu.jp/sites/default/files/imce/news/41E_Workshop2.pdf
@Leaky @Mathei if you're still interested in infinite products of measures there's a very nice exposition of Kolmogorov's extension theorem in Tao's measure theory book, starting at page 235 (it is the very last topic in the book)
The idea is that we have a family of measure spaces $(X_\alpha,\Sigma_\alpha,\mu_\alpha)_{\alpha\in A}$, it's easy to build a measurable space $(X_A,\mathcal{B}_A)$ where $X_A=\prod X_\alpha$ and $\mathcal{B}(A)$ is the coarsest $\sigma$-algebra making all of the projections continuous
The problem is defining a measure on that space. For all $B\subseteq A$ we have a projection $\pi_B:X_A\to X_B$ (with $X_B=\prod_{\alpha\in B} X_\alpha$), if we had a measure on $X_A$ we'd also have a measure on $X_B$ by pushing it forward with $X_B$
But we do have measures already on some $X_B$, all of those corresponding to finite $B\subset A$. So when can we reconstruct an unique measure on $X_A$ by knowing its pushforward measure on all the finite products? That's the question answered by the Kolmogorv extension theorem
@AlessandroCodenotti of course the projections here are meant to measurable rather than continuous, sorry
Hi. I have a condition $a_n = O(Q_n(\tau))$ as $n\to\infty$ for each $\tau\in(0,\epsilon)$ and some $\epsilon>0$, where $Q_n$ is the quantile function of some nonnegative discrete distribution $F_n$. First, I think I can write just $a_n = O(Q_n(\tau))$ as $n\to\infty$ for each $\tau\in(0,1)$. But it feels somehow redundant since I care only about being able to take as small $\tau$ as possible. Is there some better way to write the condition?
Hello, I'm self studying probability and I got to the portion of the mixtures of distributions. The source I'm using is a study manual for actuarial science and I feel there isn't too much why's in it, or at least as much as I'd like.
I want to know more about why we assign weights to the distributions and not simply add them together, and when we're looking for mean, or any moments really we can't simply find it from the mixture but instead we have to go back to the parts that made the mixture in the first place. I'm completely fine with a reference as an addition to self study, something verbose perhaps.
I made some pretty pictures of some fractals ^^ https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/2872160/fractal-dream-attractor-behavior Questions about fractals are not answered very often though...
good lord, they set up all the lemmas, and still needed 6 pages to show that $\displaystyle -\frac1{2\pi i} \int_{c-i\infty}^{c+i\infty} \frac{n^{s-1}}{s(s+1)} \frac{\zeta'(s)}{\zeta(s)} \ \mathrm ds \to \frac12$
The animation is done, you can see it here: https://youtu.be/3iYnrgRpMX8 I'll add it to the question as well. The jumps are sudden, I'll do one for a close window of that jump as well. @Secret
That's because I need more contributors, @TobiasKildetoft! Why not start be sharing what your favourite theorem of group theory is or perhaps your favourite group?
I want to show that if every conjugate class of a group $G$ consists of a single element then $G$ is abelian. So suppose that $G$ is not abelien, then there exists $x, y \in G$ such that $xy \neq yx$ which implies that $xyx^{-1} \neq y$. How can I conclude from this that the conjugacy class of $y$ has cardinality at least $2$?
@G.Ãœnther hmm. a=2.44 seemed to look like something is splitting up, and as we head towards a=1.04, it seems 4 objects fused into 2 and then disappear, before appearing again. a=3.04 may be a singularity or something. I wonder if when holding a=3.04 and changing b,c,d will collapse the pattern further and give some kind of point attractor in the (a,b,c,d,x,y) space?
Oh derp thanks @AlessandroCodenotti. So $y$ is certainly in its own conjugacy class and since $xyx^{-1} \neq y$ we have that $xyx^{-1} = a$ for some $a \in G$, so then $xyx^{-1}$ is in the conjugacy class of $g$. So the conjugacy class must have cardinality at least 2, contradiction.
a = ~0.7 has these two cluster of points that does not seemed move much when you continue to increment. Might want to zoom in there and see the dynamics
sounds like a 2-cycle, I am suspecting there might be doubling going on there, and then the shape appeared as it becomes chaotic or something
I am not sure how you can produce a brifucation profile for this system though to investigate further
but 0.7411 seemed to be within some chaotic regime as there is a strange attractor
What do the clusters look like up close (as in zooming in in x,y not in increments of a), do they look like strange attractors or just circular shaped attractors?
yeah, I am pretty sure there is birfrucation doubling near those two points, if you run that video where you move from 0.6 to 0.7, you see the twinkling decreases in frequency before the strange shape appeared
I don't know, but if I were to drop the x-coord and push all of the points onto the y-axis and then plot variable a unto the x-axis, if that would look like the bifurcation diagram. It obviously isn't, but idk if that'd be close
tfw the paper uses half a page to prove something when a nice picture would do: $$\sum_{n=1}^{\lfloor X \rfloor} \int_n^X sx^{-s-1} \ \mathrm dx = s \int_1^X \lfloor x \rfloor x^{-s-1} \ \mathrm dx$$
