yo yo
anyone?? hears crickets
chirp chirp
very funny. I'm trying to improve a short proof paper
it's from a question I asked earlier. Prove $(A \backslash B)' \backslash (B \backslash A)' = B \backslash A$
Definition 3.3.1 states that $A$ and $B$ are sets. The complement of $B$ relative to $A$, written $A \backslash B$ is the set
$ A \backslash B =[x:x \in A \land x \notin B]$
of course what I'm given are negation versions of this def.
$(A \backslash B)' =[x:x \notin A \lor x \in B]$
$ ( B \backslash A ) = [x: x \in B \land x \in A]$
$(B \backslash A)' =[x:x \notin B \lor x \in A]$
now apparently I have to apply def. 3.3.1 again to $(A \backslash B)' \backslash (B \backslash A)'$ to get $B \backslash A$, but I end up in a very nasty mess.
maybe I could use a set property which is $A \backslash B = A \cap B'$
-.-
so well let's work this one at a time. $(B \backslash A) = B \cap A'$
but you can clearly see that it's not the negation versions
Darn. I got 5 upvotes just before the day change and they got eaten by the rep cap
@robjohn do you know how I can improve this proof that I posted ^
@usukidoll $$ \begin{align} (A\setminus B)'\setminus(B\setminus A)' &=(A\cap B')'\cap(B\cap A')\\ &=(A'\cup B)\cap(B\cap A')\\ &=((A'\cup B)\cap B)\cap A'\\ &=B\cap A'\\ &=B\setminus A \end{align} $$
00:22
no umm ... I'm rewriting it
like a revision...
Does SL/Z(SL) have a name?
@PedroTamaroff Thanks for getting me excited.
@Alizter Hehe, sorry.
I mean ${\rm SL}_n(\Bbb F)/Z({\rm SL}_n(\Bbb F))$
If the ascii wasn't clear enough.
00:30
@robjohn where did you get the intersection for $\backslash$
Z(SL) is comprised of scalar multiples of the identity IIRC
@usukidoll $A\setminus B=A\cap B'$
@anon Then it is $\rm PSL$?
yeah
not that one @robjohn the one for $(A \backslash B) \backslash$
00:31
@anon OK.
that backslash after (A\B)'
@usukidoll It is the same thing.
oh I see it much clearer this way.. thanks @robjohn
should've use set properties in the first place ugh
01:06
@usukidoll I see that this is suggested in this hint
yeah
but I'm new at this so I didn't know that I could use set properties to make it easier to prove something...I've been doing definitions most of the time
like the prove that a is any set
that was just a definition.
and since it is a is a subset of ia
but the thing that irritates me sometimes is that I submit a proof assignment and it gets rejected like geez there are one liner proofs out there. What is there to write?
math.stackexchange.com/questions/658072/… this is a one or two liners MAX
a whole paragraph on something so small like this is insane
01:21
@anon
@Mike YO.
wat
I am proving erry finite abelian group has a subgroup of order $d$ for each divisor $d$ of $|G|$.
Now, I did a part, but I am missing another.
I prove it by induction on $|G|$. There is nothing to prove if $|G|=1$ or $=p$ a prime, so assume $|G|>1$ is composite.
Now choose a prime factor $p$, say $|G|=np$; so that $1<n<|G|$, and by Cauchy obtain an elt of order $p$.
Then $|G/\langle p\rangle|=n$. Moreover, every divisor of $|G|$ is of the form $dp^i,i=0,1$ for a divisor $d$ of $n$.
By induction, we have a subgroup $\bar H\leqslant G/\langle p\rangle$ of order $d$ for every $d\mid n$, and by the lattice iso, $\bar H=H/\langle p\rangle$ for $H$ a subgroup of $G$ containing $\langle g\rangle$.
Then $H$ has order $pd$.
@Mike I am missing the subgroups of order $d=p^0d$.
@anon @Mike has forsaken me.
01:40
@Pedro I do that all the time to you.
just vary p
sorry, was shoveling
@Pedro Err... the subgroups of order $p^0d$? Those would be the trivial one. Let me make sure I'm not misreading you
@anon Meaning I can now let $p$ vary throughout all prime factors of $|G|$?
Oh dih nvm
@Pedro Fix a d, pick a prime factor of d, do your argument
actually pick a prime factor of n/d
01:47
@anon I claimed that I can just repeat the process with all prime factors of $|G|$.
sure
And that gives me all divisors.
$$\|e^{it\Delta}u_0\|_{L^{q}_t L^{r}_x} = \sup_{G \in L^{q'}_tL^{r'}_x\backslash\{0\}} \left| \int_{\mathbb{R}^d} \int_\mathbb{R} G(x,t) e^{-it\Delta}u_0 \, dt \, dx \right| / \|G\|_{L^{q'}_tL^{r'}_x}.$$
DAAAAYUM.
:O
how to be a successful proof writer
ughhhhhh I wish I knew da stepz
@anon I think I understood a little about composition series, but... why are we interested in chains $1=G_0\lhd G_1\lhd\cdots\lhd G_s=G$ for which $G_{i+1}/G_i$ is abelian?
it's the next best thing to being abelian
02:01
I know that $G_{i+1}/G_i$ simple means $G_i$ is maximal normal in $G_{i+1}$.
$G_{i+1}/G_i$ abliean means $G_i$ contains $G_{i+1}'$.
Right?
also, if a field extension has a galois group with abelian composition factors (i.e. solvable) then the extension is obtained through a tower of extensions by radical expressions
@anon Heh, that comes latter. =P
I am proving subgroups and quotients of solvables are solvable.
be careful, you might summon the resident solvability by whatevers guy
@pedro What is a phoenix complex?
Ah, someone unaccepted my answer.
I will now delete my answer, lol.
It's hard to earn a living on SE...
@usukidoll To become better at proofs, you read the proofs written by experts, so the more books you read, the better you are at writing.
02:26
yeah .. ....... this book I have is only the first -_-
too bad my prof goes all over the place
Actually, the course you are taking now should be done by first year math majors.
It should be the very first course they take, not the last.
But I know in many places, they are the last, lol.
I know :(
even my differential equations prof said that all the analysis courses are done in the first year and that was when he was a student in the Ukraine
Helllllloooo
Can somebody explain the dedekind cuts section of this to me?
In mathematics, the repeating decimal 0.999... (sometimes written with more or fewer 9s before the final ellipsis, or as 0.9, 0.(9), or {{nowrap|\scriptstyle\mathbf{0}.\mathbf{\dot{9}}}}) denotes a real number that can be shown to be the number one. In other words, the symbols "0.999..." and "1" represent the same number. Proofs of this equality have been formulated with varying degrees of mathematical rigor, taking into account preferred development of the real numbers, background assumptions, historical context, and target audience. Every nonzero, terminating decimal has an equal twi...
OH LAWLZ
02:43
@Anthony WAT. We were talking about Dedekind cuts some days ago.
It's all we're doing in my real analysis class right now.
barfs
For the above link though, @PedroTamaroff, can you explain their logic from moving to a/b < 1-(1/10)^b?
dedekin cuts are for dweebs
I really need help with this though :/
02:53
cauchy4lyfe
@Mike Why not both? =D
Also, I have to prove subgroups and quotients of solvable groups are solvable.
real analysis the worse undergrad math class ever! guest starring so many proofs and some strange notation
@usukidoll One whinebulance coming up for you.
sends it back to @PedroTamaroff
I don't have to take that course ahahahahah but one of my classmates is and he said it sucks
lol
that's the class with 2 grad students
What is the programme of the class?
What does it cover?
03:00
what mine? just intro to advanced mathematics like truth tables set theory induction and all the other stuff in the mix
like trail mix
every major has to take it
but that real analysis stuff ........ depends on what math you're going for
That's real analysis? Hm.
I don't have to take it! I heard it's hard and sucks anyway
I don't like signing up for courses that aren't required... waste of time and such...
so I rather focus my energy on Intro to Advanced Mathematics which is a proof writing class required for all math majors .. get it? ^^
@El'endiaStarman Is there a problem, officer?
@PedroTamaroff Not at all. Just taking a look to see if usukidoll was in here.
03:04
@usukidoll The law's onto you.
dude
I met this person in some christian room
so?????
@El'endiaStarman So are you christian or just want to know about christianity?
@PedroTamaroff ........I'm a moderator on the Christianity site. :P
03:07
@El'endiaStarman Yes, that I can tell.
@PedroTamaroff What then was the point of your question?
: $\geq$
@El'endiaStarman Well, my question was the point itself.
Are you a christian or do you study christianity? Or both?
@PedroTamaroff Both.
I also happen to be a math major, hence why I'm here.
Speaking of which, @usukidoll, how are you doing on those proofs? Still need help?
@robjohn Can you look at this question
03:16
@PedroTamaroff : Do you understand math.stackexchange.com/questions/664107/… right now?
no I'm done for now .. I just gotta read more on induction @El'endiaStarman
prof thinks we know everything ha! WE'RE JUST NEWBIES!
it's going to be like last semester with my calc iv
@Pedro I'm trying to figure out a way to conjecture something for algebraic topology without computing the kernel of giant integral matrices.
super easy lecture hard a** homework everyone fails the exam everyone gets C's just to be happy
wth
@Victor You're saying that any theorem in geometry is theoretically solvable by a supercomputer because geometry is axiomatized. But all mathematics is.
@Mike Details?
@PedroTamaroff - But is there infinite number of axiom or finite number of axiom
for integral equation?
03:20
When you say integral equation you mean something like a differential equation but with integrals, yes?
yes
@Pedro I need to "compute the homology in general of the union of cones over X with the bases identified". I want to guess what this will be then prove it.
For diophaine equation there exist infinte number of algorithm in order to solve all the possible diophaine equation, but not sure if the integration is the same
But ever case I come up with is total bull.
@PedroTamaroff
03:24
@Victor I have no idea. But there isn't an algorithm to solve the general Diophantine equation.
@Mike How can I help? =P
Anyone feeling cold? Here are some tropical maths.
@Pedro I'm just whining.
@Mike I know what the cone over a space is, though.
Homology... not so much.
Oh sorry, My mistakes. @PedroTamaroff But will integral equation be axiomatized ?
And what is "Any theorem in geometry is theoretically solvable by a supercomputer because geometry is axiomatized. But all mathematics is" come from?
I don't understand what you mean by "will integral equation be axiomatized?".
Where are you from?
Could there be one day the integration could be axiomized. I am Chinese
03:31
I don't think I understand what you mean by "axiomatizing integration."
@PedroTamaroff
axiomatizing in oder to use computer to solve all the possible integration problems
@Victor The solution to Hilbert's 10th problem show that this isn't possible for Diophantine equations.
And those have finitely many axioms.
Boo @Mike @Pedro
@TedShifrin Heart trips?
How does one prove a graph is not planar?
@TedShifrin I want to show that... "If you take $n$ of the cones over the space $X$, and take the space obtained by the union at the bases, then this space is just the wedge of $n-1$ suspensions of $X$.
Any ideas?
Or is this even true?
03:44
@Mike I also know what the suspension is! Yay.
CONFETTI.
OH! I don't mean the same.
I mean homotopy equivalent to.
Can somebody look at this question
What's $V-E+F$ @pedro?
@TedShifrin Err... faces?
Closed loops bound faces?
03:49
@Pedro $F$ is faces.
@TedShifrin Right, that was my guess.
He just has vertices and edges :)
There you can see the lattice.
@TedShifrin I actually just want to compute the homology of that come thing. Am I doing the Wrong Thing here?
Use Mayer-Vietoris?
03:51
Suppose I have a chain $1=G_0\lhd G_1\lhd \cdots\lhd G_{s-1}\lhd G_s=G$ that proves $G$ is solvable. I want to obtain one for $H\leqslant G$.
What if I intersect the $G_i$s with $H$?
I don't believe your conjecture, @Mike. Maybe.
@Pedro, my war with Mhenni continues.
@TedShifrin I think you should stop wasting time with him.
Just downvote and/or delete his answers when needed.
LOL, but he's wreaking havoc ...
ah, I need 20k to delete answers ...
I think you have a bit of a fixation with him, though.
Cut him some slack.
You started it ... Only when I stumble on him ... I don't go looking.
03:55
I usually bother when he does really stupid stuff.
so what if you do intersect?
Well, I still have to prove $\dfrac{G_{i+1}\cap H}{G_i\cap H}$ is abelian.
@Ted I don't have that yet. Gimme a week or so.
I guess I need to use the second isomorphism theorem?
Best I have is long exact sequences and excision.
03:56
ok, @Mike, try excision and induction.
Yay, this works.
oh, excise a cone at a time. Duh.
Thanks.
You performing surgery Mike?
Fancy pansy.
Surgery is more advanced.
What is excision?
Sounds like surgery...
03:59
Surgery involves handles :)
Excision is just removing points. Passing to sunspaces.
I may never know surgery...
@PedroTamaroff consider $G_{i+1}\cap H\to G_{i+1}\to G_{i+1}/G_i$
@Ted Pretty sure my conjecture is true for path-connected spaces.
@anon Right, that intersection quotient embeds in the G quotient.
Homotopy equivalent = same homotopy type. And I'm about to prove the latter.
No I'm not.
That was dumb.
04:05
@anon For the quotient part, I was thinking about taking the quotient of the series by $N$... but first I have to enlarge each factor by $N$ to take the quotient.
I'm confused, but let's try it with a circle and $n=3$.
And I guess another iso theorem will hop in.
It's not Easter yet, @Pedro, but almost my birthday :)
@TedShifrin Pity, 61 is not prime.
@PedroTamaroff even better: every subnormal series refines to a composition series (do you see how this is applicable)?
04:07
@anon What does "subnormal" series mean?
each term is normal in the next, but not necessarily normal beyond
You sure?
I take refines means we can find intermediate "subseries" to make the subnormal series normal.
@TedShifrin Heh, I was thinking 51.
@TedShifrin depends which ring :)
Thanks @anon :D
04:09
@PedroTamaroff to make the subnormal series a composition series (which is basically just an unrefinable / maximally refined subnormal series)
@anon Yes, composition. Hehehe.
@Mike: So what is the space for $X=S^1$, $n=3$?
@anon I'm thinking how that is applicable.
I am thinking $N$ has to appear somewhere in the series, or inbetween.
1<N<G is a subnormal series. just refine it to a composition series, delete the terms appearing strictly before N, and then quotient everything by N: you will obtain a composition series for the quotient G/N
And I can quotient above $N$.
@anon Right, that proves every normal subgroup of $G$ is part of a composition series.
Dis for you, @Mike
04:12
hmm, @Mike, up to homotopy type mayhaps you win ....
@Ted No, I win for spheres. I know it's true for spheres.
($S^1$ is where I formulated the conjecture.)
hmm, is that from contagion pedro?
It's probably false for pathological spaces.
hawaiian earrings, maybe not.
@anon Maybe, I know it from MUSE.
Let me check.
04:14
Another source might be someplace homology disagrees with homotopy.
Klein bottle, say.
@anon Seems not.
ah, wwz, that's where
Oh! WWZ used MUSE, now I recall.
I watched it... the whole movie was Brad Pitt saying "I am fucking awesome though I am fifty."
I LOL'd pretty hard when the Harvard doctor died.
No offense towards Harvard intended.
haha. it's like they were setting him up to be some young savior and then he gets offed straight after introduction
Yes, that was absolutely hilarious, and slightly realistic.
I also watched Tom Cruise's "Oblivion", and liked the story. But again the movie was too Hollywoodish. If they'd dwelled more into the story, things would have been more sci-fi like and waaay more interesting.
@anon After I refine that, I just quotient above $N$ by $N$ yes?
04:22
@TedShifrin Excision won't work in the obvious way. At least, I can't pick my excised sets to be one of the cones and its inferior.
No, you need the upper part of the cone only?
@anon Hmm, but how do I show $G/N$ is solvable though? I have a composition series, alright.
ah, so I want Z = the top point, A = whole cone.
in hatchets notations. I can explain if you want.
Hey, any idea how to use Master Theorem on this: T(n-1)+2, I'm so confused ?? Please help.
Nah ... I can fake it. And it's almost bedtime.
04:25
@kiasy You're gonna need to tell us more than that. I don't know what T is or the master theorem. In addition, I'd like to hear what you tried first.
@Ted Alright. Anyway thy excision should work.
@Mike I've tried doing a=1 b=-1 d=2 but log-1 or 1 doesn't make sense...
log-1 of 1*
Ok, that's still completely useless to me, but meh.
@kiasy Ask on main.
@Ted Actually I don't think this approach will work at all, I can't recover the homology of the full space from this.
@PedroTamaroff the composition factors of G/N are quotients of composition factors of G
04:29
@anon Ah.
I'm dumb. I don't need excision.
This is a simple application of the long exact sequence.
@PedroTamaroff :)
You mean to use $(G/N)/(H/N)\simeq G/H$, yes?
@anon But, wait.
err, no, not quotients, what am I saying. I just showed the composition factors of G/N are a submultiset of the factors of G
For a pair, you mean, @Mike?
04:30
@PedroTamaroff There's more?
@Ted Yeah. X will be our full coned thing, its sunspace will be... uh...
whatever, I can figure it out
Suppose I refine $1\lhd N\lhd G$ to $1=G_0\lhd G_1\lhd \cdots \lhd G_j= N\lhd \cdots \lhd G_s=G$, @anon
mmhmm
@PedroTamaroff
The subspace should be open so that it's a "good pair" in general.

Q: Master theorem questn

kiasyI need to solve the following: T(n)=T(n-1)+8 I've tried doing a=1 b=-1 and d=8 but log(base -1) of 1 doesn't make sense. Any suggestions?

I have no guarantee $G_{i+1}/G_i$ will be abelian.
G was assumed solvable no? I thought you were trying to show G solv => G/N solv
you can usually thicken closed things just fine, @Mike.
@kiasy T(n)=T(n-1)+8 gives T(n)-T(n-1)=8. This means by telescopy that T(N)-T(0)=8N, dear @kiasy
@anon Yes.
@Ted The theorem doesn't say X a CW complex or anything pleasant. So I'd better not make assumptions.
04:34
But being solvable means every composition series has abelian factors? @anon As I have it, solvable means there is a subnormal series with abelian factors.
What theorem?
Brain typo. The problem.
Oh ...
It's also not assumed our spaces are hausdorff or anything. Hatcher clarifies.
So we make no assumptions about this hellish space.
nah, it's a neighborhood in the cone that deformation retracts fine, methinks.
04:36
@Mike Damn. That's fucked up.
@PedroTamaroff if there is a subnormal series with abelian factors then any composition series it refines to will have cyclic factors. since every composition series has the same multiset of composition factors, we're done.
that invokes jordan-holder of course
@Ted I can probably just pick my pair to be X, a cone minus its base.
That's open, the only issue is that X/that seems like it would be ba.
hatcher drives me nuts with his covering map definitions. No one can figure out why he's obtuse.
@anon Hmm... maybe I'll stick to multiplying by $N$ and taking the quotient.
ugh
04:37
oh, I'm dumb.
thanks @ped
@anon Don't hate me. =)
@PedroTamaroff ill look at that
I can pick a closed subset of the clone. There's an obvious deformation retract.
Hmm... no. That gives me Nothing. Whatever. I can figure it out.
Night @Mike, @Pedro, @anon
04:42
Bubyes.
How the hell can you people tell what T is in that question?
we r cool
@Mike recurrence solving comes with practice. :-) Also: For people who want to slowly work on retagging a few more questions: is a very misused tag.
(The Master Theorem is used for asymptotic behavior of recurrence relations. But, the Ramanujan Master Theorem is something entirely different.)
@pedro Now I know what a phoenix is, lol.
@anon I honestly don't follow this.
=/
04:55
which part?
Well, we're assuming we have a subnormal series 1 = G_0 < G_1 < ... < G_s = G with abelian factors, yes? And then we take a normal subgroup N of G; and we want to show G/N admits such a subnormal series.
@anorton Master theorem is a stupid name for a theorem.
You told me first to take the subnormal seriess 1 < N < G and refine it to a composition series.
So I gave a proof in the answer, and then OP asks for a proof not knowing that my proof is a proof, sigh........
Say I refine it to 1 < N_0 < N_1 < ... < N_s=N< H_0 < H_1< ... < H_s=G
I am trying to see how "if there is a subnormal series with abelian factors then any composition series it refines to will have cyclic factors. since every composition series has the same multiset of composition factors, we're done." takes the wheel after I've done this.
That is, I don't know how to apply your comment to my problem.
04:59
(1) If 1<...<G is subnormal with abelian factors it refines to a comp series (call it A) with cyclic factors.
(2) 1<N<G refines to a composition series (call it B)
(3) the factors in A and B are the same (Jordan-Holder)
(4) the factors in N<...<G are the same as in N/N<...<G/N
(5) conclusion: the series N/N<...<G/N have cyclic factors
