Suppose $B\subset\mathbb{C}$ is a contractible open set, and there is a complex manifold $X$ and a holomorphic map $\pi: X \to B$ such that each fiber $\pi^{-1}\{b\}$ isomorphic to $\mathbb{C}$, i.e. $\pi$ is a holomorphic fiber bundle. My questions are Does there alway exist a holomorphic secti...

In the story this man somehow gets or maybe is given the ability to mentally ask a question and get the answer. The gimmick is that in doing so he's telepathically linked to a being in the far future, possibly an alien, who believes he has thought of the situation on his own, and is then compelle...

Let $L_\alpha$ denote the $\alpha$th level of Gödel's constructible hierarchy, let $\Sigma_2$ be the class of formulas from the Lévy hierarchy, and let $\prec_{\Sigma_2}$ denote the elementary substructure relation for $\Sigma_2$ formulas. When $M$ is a transitive set, let $M$ stand for the struc...

This isn't a textbook question, it's a real-life one from me trying to make a code process to efficiently fill a rectangle with circles (which is a whole bigger problem). So far in equations I've got to: $W = (x+1)\sqrt{r^2-(d/2)^2} + r(x-1)$ But I need to find $x$ in terms of $W$, $d$ and $r$. M...

I think I read this in the early 1990s. A group of scientists (I think three, two men and one woman) are living in a not-so-distant future and they find a way to gain reality warping powers employing gluons.

When riding 1X drivetrain, mostly ridden sprockets are approximately within 1/3 distance from the smallest ones. For example with 12 sprockets this would be about 3-4-5th sprockets counting from the smallest one. (This is what I experience for myself, but I think this is typical. Holds for both r...

JP1 connector (below IC in layout) will receive a small metal wire (1 inch) as sensor to pick up electrostatic fields (1 Hz - 1 kHz).

Suppose a -> b and ~b. Both of these are horn clauses. ~a is an entailed literal, but it doesn't seem possible to derive it using only modus pones.

I'm aware of "roll day" convention when for generating a schedule roll day is used, such as: adding for instance 3M to a date dd/mm/yyyy means adding 3 to mm (for example by adding 3M to 15/01/2024 you get 15/03/2024). This particular rule is widely used for schedule construction in IRS contracts...

Assume $k$ is an arbitrary the field. Then it seems intuitive that $k(x,y) \not \cong k(z)$ as rings. But I don't know any good proof. This is just what I can sketch: Assume the contrary. Then there is a ring isomorphism $\varphi : k(x,y) \to k(z)$ Then, there are distinct rational functions $f(z...

It hit me that there's a funny linguistic quirk around the phrase "I can sing". The phrase implies that I am a good singer, even though I am not saying that.
