hhh
12:31 AM
I cannot see immediately why it is 0 if is othogonal i.e. $m\not = n$.
well $\int_0^{2\pi}e^{2inx} dx=\int_0^{2\pi}e^{ix*2n} dx$
where $\cos(a x ) +i \sin(a x)$ where $a=2n$.
 
It is basically $\oint_\gamma zdz$, where $\gamma$ is a contour around the circle $n$ times (orientation according to $n$'s sign). This integral is $0$ by symmetry: multiplying it by any $w$ (for which $|w|=1$) leaves the integral unchanged..
 
leo
@PeterTamaroff hey
 
leo
:-)
 
hhh
@anon By symmetry? I cannot see...
Is there some geometric explanation?
 
12:42 AM
@leo Yello
 
leo
@PeterTamaroff, I did write the full solution and notice the homework tag when push "Post your answer"
so I have edited
the post
 
@hhh If $|w|=1$, the map $z\mapsto wz$ leaves $\gamma$ unchanged. Therefore multiplying by $w$ ... Anyway the geometric interpretation is that averaging the numbers on the unit circle can't privilege any direction over any other direction - just look at it! - so it must be zero.
 
hhh
Hey wait, I can now remember if this is the same topic: if you have a singular point like $\frac{1}{z}$ then you get $2\pi$ otherwise zero -- this is about the same thing?
 
leo
good night all!
 
...no, not really. The latter has to do with multivaluedness/branching of a primitive/antiderivative around a singular point.
 
hhh
12:47 AM
I am now stubborn, cannot see...can I draw it?
 
I hope you can draw a circle. Drawing the branches of a complex-valued function is harder...
2
(relevant to the latter question)
 
hhh
Can I see the basic case from circle about the orthogonal thing?
 
You can start with $$\int_0^{2 \pi} \cos^m(x)\sin^n(x) dx$$ maybe?
 
hhh
...now I am thinking how I can express the original thing with contour integrals i.e. to express the orthogonality $\oint_\gamma z\bar{z}dz$?
 
Nope, definitely don't do that.
Because that turns out to be $2\pi$.
(Although that shows normality ... but anyway)
 
hhh
12:59 AM
?
Nope to Peter or to mine point?
 
Let me put it this way. Up to a scale factor, $\oint zdz$ is the average of the numbers on the unit circle. Multiplying by $a$ (where $|a|=1$) simply rotates the circle, thus doesn't change the numbers being averaged, and therefore the average is the same even if you multiply the integral by $a$. But then we have $a\square=\square\implies(a-1)\square=0\implies \square=0$ if $a\ne1$.
Nope to your comment. I don't see what Peter's getting at either though.
Also, $\langle e^{inx},e^{imx}\rangle=\int_0^{2\pi} e^{ikx}dx=\oint_\gamma zdz$, where $n\ne m$ and $k=n-m$.
And $\gamma$ goes around the circle $k$ times, orientation and sign and yadda yadda.
Actually wait, your idea was valid for $n+m=0$, because you end up with $\oint_\gamma (z\bar{z})^ndz=0$...
(Assuming $n,m\ne0$ of course.)
 
@anon I wrote it wrongly.
@anon How would one prove $$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{n \to \infty } \int\limits_{ - \pi }^\pi {\frac{{\sin nx}}{{1 + {x^2}}}dx} = 0$$ without Lebesgue Riemann?
I'm working on it. Do you have any hints?
Wait.
The integrand is always odd.
 
heh
 
Why would Spiegel put that problem
@MarianoSuárezAlvarez Are you around?
 
hhh
1:24 AM
To remind me what I am trying to understand:

$$\langle e_n, e_m\rangle = \frac{1}{2\pi} \int_{0}^{2\pi} e_n(x)\,\overline{e_m(x)}\,dx = \delta_{mn}$$
where $\bar{\square}$ is a complex conjugate, $\gamma_{mn}$ is the knecker-delta (if m=n, then 1 otherwise 0), $e_n=e^{inx}$.
I can see this as $e^{i\beta}$ where $\beta$ is an angle i.e. like a circle.
So what is the q then two circles -multiplication...
So it means there are two choices but what are they in terms of circles?
Probably $\pm$, Cartesian production $<\pm, \pm>$ has two choices with commutative so something along the lines but I need still some more direct way of deducing this...I am now more like guessing...
 
hhh
1:48 AM
Perhaps I need to understand inner-product more deeply, investigating...
 
leo
@MarianoSuárezAlvarez Hi! How do you translate Orbit Stabilizer Theorem?
 
@leo Teorema del Estabilizador de Orbita?
 
leo
:-)
The problem is Stabilizer do not stabilize orbits
:-|
It should be something like "Teorema Estabilizador-Orbita"
más bien órbita
 
Teorema del Estabilizador-Orbita?
 
leo
2:01 AM
@PeterTamaroff I think so. Something like that
@DanielMontealegre hi
 
hey could you lend me a hand with galois theory?
 
leo
@DanielMontealegre I don't know Galois Theory. But ask your question, I'm pretty sure someone here can help you :-)
 
im going to post it in the forum
 
leo
@PeterTamaroff It will be Teorema 2
 
2:43 AM
@leo I'd ask first for the option to star answers apart from questions.
 
leo
@PeterTamaroff That would be pretty useful
@PeterTamaroff this can like you
 
leo
3:12 AM
It is seems that it's assumed that $f$ Riemann integrable in $[a,b]$ implies $f$ of bounded variation on $[a,b]$. Is that true?
 
@Eugene Hey.
I'm working on this thingy leo suggested.
 
leo
@PeterTamaroff is there a reason to assume that the $f$ in the post indeed is of VB?
 
@leo If the function is Riemann integrable then it is bounded.
Should that work?
 
leo
bounded is not enough
 
@leo Right. If it oscilates infinitely then the variation is not bounded right?
 
leo
3:23 AM
yep
 
@leo I guess we can assume the function is friendly
 
leo
it is pretty easy to see that $V_f[a,b]\leq \int_a^b |g|$
 
I can't grasp what it means for $\sup$ to "run over the partitions".
I mean
I have a minimal clue. But I can't even put it into words
It's just there in my head.
I wrote this so far for a help: Just reading the definition in Wikipedia, I can give you some ideas:


$$V_a^b\left( f \right) = \mathop {\sup }\limits_P \sum\limits_{i = 0}^{{n_P} - 1} {\left| {f\left( {{x_{i + 1}}} \right) - f\left( {{x_i}} \right)} \right|} $$

where $\sup$ runs over the set of all partitions $P$ of $[a,b]$,

$$\mathcal P=\{P=\{x_0,\dots, x_{n_P}\}:P\text{ is a partition of }[a,b]\}$$

If $f$ differentiable in $[a,b]$ then it is continuous and we can apply the MVT, which means
 
leo
In the case when $g$ is continuous you have proved what is requested
 
@leo I need to understand how$\sup\limits_P$ operates on the sum. What does it retrieve?
 
leo
3:32 AM
@PeterTamaroff $$V_a^b (f)=\sup\{\sum_{k=0}^n |f(t_k)-f(t_{k-1})|:a=t_0\lt t_1\lt\ldots\lt t_n=b\}$$
 
@leo Oh.
I couldn't understand that effing symbol.
 
leo
what effing symbol?
 
@leo I mean, how it was written
I realized it was something of the sort.
Oh.
"effing" is used to avoid "f*~%ing"
 
leo
I don't follow you
 
Hi guys
 
leo
3:36 AM
hi
 
effing = "eff"-ing = F-ing = sex
2
 
@anon Could you illustrate leo? I can't XD
I mean that the way Wikipedia wrote it confused me.
 
You want me to draw leo? Like one of my French girls presumably?
 
leo
Oh. I just catch it. :-D
@PeterTamaroff but now you understand?
 
@leo Yes yes.
Maybe all it is left is to show the Riemannish sum is increasing, so that the $\sup$ is the integral. I'm lost
 
leo
3:39 AM
so f*~%!
 
Maybe you can complete the proof.
 
Hi
can i ask a quick question
 
@DanielMontealegre Sure.
@anon
 
Say we have that L/F is a finite galois extension, and consider L/K_1/F and L/K_2/F, and denote by H_i=G(K_i/F)
what does it mean for \tau to be in H_1\cap H_2
 
yes @Daniel
 
3:50 AM
math.ucla.edu/~chh/110c.1.12s/elman.pdf, I am looking at problem 49.11.6
 
If you put $ signs around latex we can parse them in-tab using chatjax.
 
ok
so basically if you look at the above pdf, I am a little confused on what they are trying to say. They define $H_1=G(K_1/F)$ and $H_2=G(K_2/F)$
and they want us to show that $H_1\cap H_2=G(L/K_1(K_2))$
 
You forgot the last $
 
Are not $H_1$ and $H_2$ subgroups of $\mathrm{Gal}(L/F)$?
(Disclaimer: I don't know Galois theory!)
Also, see here if you want to see latex in chat like the kool kids.
 
nevermind
there is a typo. I message someone in the class.
 
 
1 hour later…
5:28 AM
hello?
 
leo
6:12 AM
@robjohn hi! any insight in this
 
@leo what's the problem? the identity is standard in Lebesgue theory and since for Riemann integrable functions Riemann and Lebesgue integrals coincide we have the equality.
 
leo
@tb yes you are right. There is an exercise in the Zygmund book asking for that. I'll probably elaborate on it in some hours
I was defined the norm of a partition as the minimum length of his intervals :-S
 
7:07 AM
Good morning everyone.
 
7:28 AM
@MattN Haaiii.
 
@JonasTeuwen Last night it was really hot here. : ( I was awake for hours, melting.
 
@MattN Hotttt? Here too.
 
@JonasTeuwen oh, don't say that
 
Was this hhh doing some good old trolling this night?
 
who is hhh?
@MattN: what about air conditioning/sleeping with windows opened?
 
7:42 AM
@Ilya Some guy saying that he cannot compute the Fourier series of his function because although it is periodic, it is not periodic on $[-\pi, \pi]$...
 
@Jonas: our wall of stars is again full of math! I knew some guys here who star all math advises given to them which they found to be useful
 
@Ilya Cool.
 
@Ilya Yes, we sleep with open windows and we don't have airconditioning.
 
Mosquitos?
 
No. Not yet.
 
7:52 AM
@JonasTeuwen why? Matt didn't say they sleep with closed windows.
@MattN if your windows are open, you can always open them a $\delta$-bit. If they're closed, you can do nothing :)
 
Mosquitos are quite $\delta$s...
 
Actually, if they're closed you can open them : )
 
@JonasTeuwen only in this part of the world :D you should ask Rajesh
or maybe also JM is aware of $\Delta$-mosquitoes
@Jonas: listen, is it possible to show that
$$
\langle \gamma, x\cdot\log |x|\rangle \geq \langle \gamma, x\rangle \langle \gamma, \log |x|\rangle
$$
where $\gamma$ is $1$-dim Gaussian measure?
 
@Ilya If they're not too big our ninja cats will sort them out.
 
@Ilya I go to the office now. I check there okay?
 
7:56 AM
When the things get too big then the cats are scared too.
 
Hi
 
@JonasTeuwen sure. I thought, maybe convexity arguments
@MattN too big like...
 
There was this huge black spider last summer. Approximately 8cm diameter.
shudders
I guess I'm not manly enough. A proper man would've grabbed it by one of its legs and thrown it out of the window.
 
@MattN not me, so Gigili's doubts are coming true :)
 
: )
 
8:19 AM
@Matt: here?
 
@Ilya Let's see.
 
morning, Theo
@tb: how did you sleep?
 
Okay.
 
@tb not only Matt 0_o Did did something surprising
 
8:23 AM
@Ilya So what is $\langle \cdot, \cdot \rangle$ and is $\gamma(x) = \pi^{-1/2} e^{-|x|^2}$?
@Ilya Aha, looks like my thing 8-).
 
my thing looks certainly different :-)
it doesn't contain parallel lines | |
 
Mwah, we just kick out all the ugly constants, they hardly matter. All you need is that the measure of the space is $1$.
Yes, that is in $d$-dim.
 
hah, I knew!\
@Jonas: so $\pi^{-1/2}$ is not ugly?
 
@Ilya Hmm, I put $d = 1$ there.
Hybrid formula!
 
yes, it is ugly. Modern people call it $\sqrt{2/\tau}$
 
8:25 AM
I am not modern!
 
@tb: who is $\tau$?
 
@Ilya the correct value of $\pi$, namely $2\pi$. At least according to some people :)
 
oh, that is too abstract for me ;)
 
@Ilya Markus's talk is today.
 
Supertree adventures: "My bag!" "Somebody, help!"
@JonasTeuwen cool, 4pm? I'm coming
 
8:29 AM
@Ilya Yes.
 
@Ilya Hey, sorry was in the shower. What's up?
 
@MattN again?!!
 
@Ilya Don't be so horrified. I shower every day.
 
Matt likes showers...
 
@tb Nice : )
@JonasTeuwen ...
 
8:33 AM
@JonasTeuwen I like Matt. I like showers. Local transitivity
 
So, showers like Matt?
 
@Ilya What did I do?
 
Oh, I forgot. To like is highly non-symmetric :/
 
not you did, Did did
 
.
 
8:34 AM
@Ilya Are you sure that is possible? Maybe for some $\mu$ and $\sigma$ can make the LHS $0$.
 
@tb look who's talking
 
@Ilya Ah, sorry, didn't read properly.
 
@JonasTeuwen that's the inequality we discussed yesterday and proven to be true
 
@Ilya Excuse me?
 
@MattN Please do not feel sorry, my previous hint was misleading hence I am the one who should apologize. See revised version:
"Didier did something surprising"
 
8:37 AM
Highly is an exaggeration. I like Ilya too. So it's not that non-symmetric.
 
@tb why did you add "I" there? I miss the meaning now
@JonasTeuwen well, yesterday we wanted to show that $\mathsf E\log|\mu+\sigma X|$ whici is symmetric in $\mu$, increases whenever $|\mu|$ increases
@Jonas so we asked Mathematica to compute that and obtained the hypergeometric form for this function
 
I'm, like, whatever...
 
hm... you just puzzled me more
 
You're not alone.
 
allusion to noise that tortured our ears every day a few years ago
 
8:41 AM
anon goin great \looking at the starred messages ------------------>
 
@Jonas: on the other hand, we have $\mathsf E\log|\mu+\sigma X| = \mathsf E \log|Y|$ where $Y$ now is $\mathscr N(\mu,\sigma^2)$
that's why we have this integrals, where it is easy to find the derivative, namely the derivative is
 
@Ilya Need to wake up 8-).
 
In short words,
$$
f(x,y) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi}}\int\limits_\mathbb R \log|x+yt|\mathrm e^{-t^2/2}\mathrm dt
$$
 
so, I see that @Ilya is not actually ignored.
 
@tb by whom?
$$
=\frac{1}{y\sqrt{2\pi}}\int\limits_\mathbb R \log|t|\exp\left(-\frac{(t-x)^2}{2y^2}\right)\mathrm dt
$$
 
8:45 AM
@tb That's before my time. Or I'm not cool enough.
 
@Ilya by did. did did write something on your question
on that happy note, I wish you a pleasant day. Ice cubes will be falling from the skies very soon!
 
@Ilya Hey
 
@Gigili Anyway. If you do then you could just send him an email and ask him out. That's the easiest way : )
 
@tb have a nice day as well, enjoy a good weather
@Gigili: hi
 
@Ilya We can pick $\sigma = 1$ by scaling :-).
Now let's see about $\mu$...
 
8:48 AM
@tb Bye.
 
@JonasTeuwen yes
 
"ice cubes will be falling from the skies very soon"? What is going on?
 
@Ilya : Hey
 
@RajeshD sorry, hi!
 
iHi
 
8:51 AM
Whatever.
 
@MattN that's the famous Swiss forecast
 
Man o' man I can't believe it!
 
@Ilya You know if it depends on $\mu$?
 
@JonasTeuwen what should depend on $\mu$?
 
@Ilya If we scale $\mu$ does the inequality change?
@Ilya Hmm, if $x \to -x$, then we have $=$?
 
8:56 AM
@JonasTeuwen it shouldn't, it only depends on the sign of $\mu$
@tb nice choice of music :)
 
@Ilya But do the substitution $x \to -x$, then we get a minus sign on both sides?
Oh, wait.
@Ilya Need to wake up.
@Ilya Actually you only want the RHS in the thing in your comment to be positive right?
 
hhh
 
9:11 AM
Please troll no more.
I have trouble to believe that you try to do these things but have such... basic questions.
 
hhh
<--- how can I deduce this formally using $L^2$ inner product and orthogonaly of $e_n(x)=e^{inx}$?
 
Holy cow, check out the starred comment by @tb.
 
hhh
$\langle e_n, e_m\rangle = \frac{1}{2\pi} \int_{0}^{2\pi} e_n(x)\,\overline{e_m(x)}\,dx = \delta_{mn}$, yes, I was given this and now I try to connect dots...
 
Try harder, everything is there.
 
hhh
$\langle e_n, e_m\rangle = \frac{1}{2\pi} \int_{0}^{2\pi} e_n(x)\,\overline{e_m(x)}\,dx = \delta_{mn}$ <--- only about exponential functions while the $f(x)$ can be anything...or wait have to check $f(x)$'s def
 
9:18 AM
Good morning all
my avatar hasn't shown up yet on my screen at right ---------->
oh - there it is
 
hhh
 
jj
Hello.
Huh, it works.
 
it works?
 
hhh
Expressing the sum somehow with the integrand, thinking?
 
@JonasTeuwen Just wondering, is this a recurring thing? Not in the recent chat, it seems?
 
hhh
9:28 AM
(well I fall asleep last time...)
 
@mixedmath What is? :-).
@hhh Fill in the bloody $f$ into the bloody integral.
 
The chat line I replied to, in particular. About a troll?
 
@mixedmath Oh, yes. I think so... Maybe I'm too sensitive, but some people come with quite "advanced" questions and then some time later ask really elementary things.
 
hhh
$c_n = \frac{1}{2\pi} \int_{-\pi}^{\pi} \left( \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty}c_n \right) dx$
 
@hhh You have to verify the formula. So try to get $c_n$ out of it, not... what the.
 
hhh
9:33 AM
If $c_n$ not depended on $x$, then something absurd $c_n = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} c_n$
 
well, i'm an idiot, but it looks like linear algebra to me....
 
@JonasTeuwen yes
 
the integrals are just there to fool people
 
@Gigili what does work?
 
@hhh This line is not correct
 
hhh
9:38 AM
$c_n = \frac{1}{2\pi} \int_{-\pi}^{\pi} e^{-inx} \left( \sum_{m=-\infty}^{\infty}c_m e^{imx} \right) dx$

I mixed different vars with same letter $n$?
 
@DavidWheeler That's true :-).
 
it's like, you have a vector space made out of periodic functions, with an orthonormal basis of complex exponentials (let's not kid ourselves, these are really trig functions)
 
Holy cow man, your integral is just $\langle f, e_n \rangle$. Then write $f$ in the same basis and pull it out.
@DavidWheeler It is much more instructive (to me) to see them as complex exponentials. Stuff that runs around the circle.
 
and the $c_n$ are just the coordinates of our vectors/functions
 
As, that is what you do, you consider functions on the circle, not really periodic ones. Okay, that's the same, but...
 
9:40 AM
so what you want to do is take the projection of f in each "basis direction" and add them all up
integrals are linear functionals, so with some monkeying around, you can make inner products out of them
evaluating the integrals themselves is kind of tedious, and it doesn't interest me
 
hhh
(this so far corect here? I just plugged the two things together)
 
@Jonas well, yes, i think "circular functions" is a better name than trig functions. it expresses the linkage between the ups and downs and side to sides better
 
@hhh Keep going
 
@Gigili: are you here?
 
@Ilya Why would you wake a sleeping dog? :-(.
 
9:48 AM
@Jonas: who is a sleeping dog here?
 
@Ilya <-
 
you?
or I?
 
no?
 
Gig.
 
9:49 AM
why is she dog?
 
i had hoped to find an algebraist here, but apparently only analysts have been hanging out here as of late
 
@Ilya Hmm, dog is the wrong word. But the screen will be infested with thingies.
@DavidWheeler You can only conclude one thing now: Switch to analysis.
Plus Ilya is no analyst, but way cooler.
 
@JonasTeuwen WHAT???
 
@Ilya 8-))))).
Oh man, I should just shut up.
 
is it a challenge who puzzles whom? Then the challenge is accepted. Prepare to die :D
 
9:52 AM
Hmmm, an "infinitary group" with an associative infinite multiplication must be trivial. :(
 
i like algebra. it's so clean. analysis is messy.
 
@DavidWheeler Uh,... analysis messy, what?
 
@JonasTeuwen Duel with him? There are two of us
 
Can be very messy, but algebra too.
@Ilya Yes.
 
yes, algebra can get messy too. i don't like those parts.
 
9:54 AM
@JonasTeuwen If he kills me, you still have a chance for the revenge
 
Operator theory? Functional calculi?
Abstract harmonic analysis?
 
there are just soooo many functions. and most of them behave rather poorly. so then we make up all sorts of names which mean: functions which are nice.
 
You probably don't know much about it. Usually analysts only work with very nice functions and the rest is just an extension using limits, you would hardly do anything with the strange things directly.
 
It is the second day of my calculus 2 class and I think I need to drop out already
 
i know integration is harder than it looks. and which functions we can integrate has a lot to do which which integral we use (apparently one size doesn't fit all)
 
9:58 AM
Huh?
In analysis usually always we use the Lebesgue integral wrt to some measure. That is sufficient for almost everything which does not have an infinite dimensional range.
 
I woke up at 4am to do homework before class at 8am lol
 
at some point, apparently people stop even thinking about the functions them selves, and just about "good sets" and bad sets"
 
Have you ever seen what is in operator theory book?
Good sets and bad sets is something of real harmonic analysis.
 
like with hilbert and banach spaces?
 
Which is actually quite elegant if you think about it, topologists speak about pants.
