Q: Non-existence of power divided structure on a maximal ideal of truncated polynomial rings (example from Koblitz)

XYCIn 3.3 of Berthelot-Ogus's book Notes on Crystalline Cohomology, an example from Koblitz is exhibited without proof. Let $k$ be a field (or a commutative ring) with characteristic $p>0$, $$A:=k[x_1,\dots,x_6]/(x_1^p,\dots,x_6^p,x_1x_2+x_3x_4+x_5x_6)$$ with ideal $I:=(x_1,\dots,x_6)\subset A$. Sho...

psl2ZLet $T_{1,p}: S^1 \to S^3\subseteq \mathbb{C}^2, \ z \mapsto \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(z,z^p)$ be the torus knot of type $(1,p)$ with $p \in \mathbb{Z}$. Further let $U: S^1 \to S^3, \ z \mapsto (z,0)$ be the unknot. Let also $T_{1,p} = \text{Im}(T_{1,p})$ and $U := \text{Im}(U)$. What is an explicit (a...

Q: How to best characterize the doctrine deriving from Palsgraf?

TrishPalsgraf v. Long Island Railroad Co., 248 N.Y. 339, 162 N.E. 99 (1928) is old, but it has shaped tort law in a very influential way: it did pretty much draw a line in the sand for where you can not recover from injury. Or as the Court of Appeals put it: one can only recover for "a natural and pro...

Q: Are the Curry and liar sentences two examples of a general scheme?

Kristian BerryI should like to note that when we spell out the derivation of the liar paradox, we seem to usually stop at L if and only if ~L rather than L and ~L. I presume we can detach both L and ~L from the biconditional and derive the contradictory conjunction, though. But so now, the negation of L doesn'...
