In a related thread, it was pointed out that
it seems that some users would consider having somewhere complete list of past bounties a good idea
While it does not do much for extending the bounty period (including very prominent advertising, and the reputation award for people who answer), ...

I'm trying to understand whether there's a fully faithful functor $LRS \supset FormalSch \to IndSch$ and in what sense. Here's my progress so far:
Let $\mathsf{A}$ be the category of adic rings. The objects are topological rings whose topology is generated by a descending filtration of ideals wh...

Let $P_1, \ldots, P_m$, $Q_1, \ldots, Q_k \in \mathbb{C}[x_0,\ldots,x_n]$ be linear homogenous polynomials. Let $f$ be a homogenous quadratic polynomial of degree $2$.
Assume that for every $i$ and for every $j$ the polynomial $f$ belongs to the ideal $\langle P_i, Q_j \rangle$.
Is it true that...

(This is inspired by Algebraic geometry examples.)
I want to collect here (counter)examples in arithmetic geometry.
Curves violating the Hasse principle: The Selmer curve $3X^3 + 4Y^3 + 5Z^3 = 0$. It is a nontrivial element of the Tate–Shafarevich group of the elliptic curve $3\cdot4\cdot5\cdo...

A Banach space $X$ is said to have w-FPP (weak fixed point property) if for every non-empty, weakly compact and convex subset $K\subseteq X$; every non-expansing mapping $T:K\longmapsto K$ i.e.
$$\|Tx-Ty\|\leq \|x-y\|\quad\quad \forall\, x,y \in K$$
has a fixed point.
Recall that if $X$ has an...

Suppose that $b$ is a braid. Then $b$ can be uniquely written as
$D_{RL}(b)^{-1}N_{RL}(b)$ where $D_{RL}(b),N_{RL}(b)$ are the unique positive braids such that $b=D_{RL}(b)^{-1}N_{RL}(b)$ and where
$D_{RL}(b)^{-1}\wedge_{L}N_{RL}(b)=e$ where $r\wedge_{L}s$ denotes the left gcd of the positive bra...

Suppose from distance $d$, while driving at speed $v_0$, I notice that there's a red traffic light in front of me. Suppose that there are no other vehicles, my vehicle has perfect brakes, my maximum acceleration is $a$ and the red light will turn green according to some $\mu$ distribution. My goa...

I am looking for a reference on continuity of (proximal) subdifferentials. For a continuous function $F: \mathbb R^n \rightarrow \mathbb R$, a vector $v$ is called proximal subgradient at $x$ if there exist $r>0, \delta >0$ s. t.
$$\forall y \; \text{s. t.} \; \|y-x\| \le r \quad F(y) \le F(x) +...
