H: Show that $M_p^p\equiv 1 \mod p^2$ Can it be shown that $M_p^p\equiv 1 \mod p^2$ where $M_p=2^p-1$ is a Mersenne prime. I tried to develop the left part into into $2^{p^2}-1-pk2^p$ and use $2^{p^2}\equiv 2^p \mod p^2$, but I get nowhere Thanks AI: From FLT $$2^{p-1}\equiv 1\pmod{p} \Rightarrow 2^{p}\equiv 2\pmod{p}...
H: For every projection $p$ and normal $a$ in a C*-algebra $A$ (with $ap=pa$), there is a $*$-isomorphism $C(\sigma(a))\to C^{*}(a,p)$ such that ... Let $a$ be a normal element of a (non-unital) C*-algebra $A$. I am trying to prove that for every projection $p\in A$ that commutes with $a$ (i.e. $p=p^{2}=p^{*}$ and $ap...
H: Predicate logic: Negation My book says that the negation of "Everyone likes coffee" is "Not everyone likes coffee". But if i apply that to quantors (c = likes coffee), then... $\neg(\forall x(c(x))) \Longleftrightarrow \exists x (\neg c(x))$ Which means that "Not everyone doesn't like coffee". Can someone explain?...
H: Find $\int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{\log(x) }{\sqrt{x} (x+1)^{2}}\,dx$ Need solve the next integral $$\int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{\log(x) }{\sqrt{x} (x+1)^{2}}\,dx$$ Tried something with Laurent’s series, but i can’t conclude anything. Thanks AI: METHODOLGY $1$: CONTOUR INTEGRATION Enforce the substitution $x\mapsto x^2$ to...
H: Line integral $\int_{AB}y\,ds$ I need to calculate this line integral: $$\int_{AB}y\,ds$$ Where $AB$ is an arc defined by $\begin{cases} x=t \\ y=\sqrt{t} \end{cases}$ with $t\in [1,2]$ I got $I=\int_1^2 t\sqrt{1+\frac{1}{4t}} \, dt$ and now I'm stuck with this integral. I tried substitution method but it's get...
H: Brownian motion increments - are they random variables or random processes If $W_t$ is a Brownian motion process and $0 \le t_1 \le t_2$ then is the increment $W_{t2} - W_{t1}$ a random variable or a random process? My lectures say "random variable" but I believe it makes more sense to call this a random process be...
H: Let $A,B,X$ be sets such that $A\cup B = X$ and $A \cap B = ∅$. Show that $A = X\backslash B$ and $B = X\backslash A$. I'm trying to prove this Let $A,B,X$ be sets such that $A\cup B = X$ and $A \cap B = ∅$. Show that: (1) $A = X\backslash B$ and (2) $B = X\backslash A$. My proof is Let $x \in A$. We k...
H: Help to evaluate the integral $\iint_D\frac{y}{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}}dxdy$ I'm solving a problem about integrals in curves, and I got this integral: $$\int_1^2\int_1^2\frac{y}{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}}dxdy.$$ I have been struggling to solve it. I'm sure i have to do some variable change to polar coordinates (to simplify the denomin...
H: I don't understand the Rank–nullity theorem.. $$\dim(U) = \dim (\ker\phi) + \dim(\text{im }\phi)$$ Hey all I'm just a little confused about the above mentioned theorem; namely, how does one measure the dimensions of a kernel? A kernel is normally defined as a set, and I don't see how I could measure the dimensions ...
H: Is it true that if a function is bound by a constant so is it's derivative? I have an intuition that I haven't been able to prove nor disprove: Given a parametric function $p$ if $||p(t)|| < C$ then $||p'(t)|| < C$. The intuition behind that claim is that the change in the magnitude of a function cannot be higher t...
H: Is $\mathbb A^n(\mathbb Z)$ Zariski dense in $\mathbb P^n(\mathbb C)$? Since $\mathbb A^1(\mathbb Z)$ is infinite, it is obvious that $\mathbb A^1(\mathbb Z)$ is dense in $\mathbb P^1(\mathbb C)$ with respect to the Zariski topology. Does the same property hold for $\mathbb A^n(\mathbb Z)\subset \mathbb P^n(\math...
H: We have to prove that $H=${$(x_1,...,x_n)\in{\mathbb{R^n}}|a_1x_1+...+a_nx_n=0$} is an hyperplane of $\mathbb{R^n}$. I've got $\space$ $V$ $K$ - vectorial space, and $H$ which is a subspace of $V$. We say that $H$ is a hyperplane when $dimH=n-1$. If we've got $\space a_1,a_2,...,a_n\in{\mathbb{R}}$ which are not al...
H: sequence of entire functions that converges to $\sqrt{q}$ uniformly on compact subsets of the line Re $(z)=q$ for each positive rational $q$ I'm scheduled to host a prep course for the complex analysis qualifying exam at my university this summer, so I'm going through old qualifying exams to prepare. I'm stuck on t...
H: Showing/finding sumfunction I will try again asking my question: I have $\displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{n}{n+1}x^n$, for x$\in$R. Then I have used wolframalpha finding the sum function: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=sum_%7Bn%3D1%7D%5E%7B%5Cinfty%7D+%5Cfrac%7Bn*x%5E%7Bn%7D%7D%7Bn%2B1%7D And with Mapl...
H: What do more than or less than sign with a line through them mean? What do these symbols where the arrow point to mean? Does it mean not less then? If that's the case, why do we write it that way and not > if they are the same? AI: $0\not<1$ means ‘$0$ is not less than $1$’, just as $a\ne b$ means ‘$a$ is not equa...
H: How do you convert a number from base $10$ to binary? I don't understand how you get the binary representation of a number. Say we have a number in base $10$, how do you change it into binary? I used the Google math converter as well. . All I know is that $a=a_n2^n+a_{n-1}2^{n-1}+\dotsb+a_0$ AI: You keep dividing...
H: Minimal polynomial of $\varphi:g+(f)\mapsto xg+(f)$ is $f$. Let $K$ be a field, $a$ an element in a field extension such that $a$ is algebraic over $K$. Denote by $f\in K[x]$ the minimal polynomial of $a$ over $K$. Consider the $K$-vector space $K[x]/(f)$ and the $K$-linear map $$ \varphi: V\to V,\quad g+(f)\ma...
H: Hartshorne's proof of Castelnuovo's theorem For those of us who have forgotten, Castelnuovo's theorem is the following: Theorem: If $Y$ is a curve on a surface $X$ with $Y \simeq \mathbb{P}^1$ and $Y^2 = -1$, then there is a morphism $f: X \to X_0$ to a smooth projective surface $X_0$ such that $X$ is the blow up o...
H: Conplex analysis showing normal Show that the family of functions $f_n(z)=z^n,n\geq 1$ is normal in $D(0;1)$ but not in any region which contains a point on the unit circle. I tried to show that the spherical derivatives of $f_n$'s are uniformly bounded so that I can use Marty's theorem but I could not do it as $n$...
H: A question about derivatives between Euclidean spaces: how should we construct it and interpret its definition? As it is known from the single-variable calculus, given $X\subseteq\textbf{R}$, a function $f:X\to\textbf{R}$ and a adherent point $x_{0}\in X$ which is also a limit point, we define the derivative of the...
H: Fourier Series Analysis Decomposition If I understand Fourier series correctly. The objective is to model a periodic function as a linear combination of sinusoidal functions with different amplitudes, frequencies, etc. Since the collections $\{\frac{\cos(nx)}{\pi}\}_{n=0}^{\infty}$ are orthonormal over in the...
H: Is $a$ assigned to $b$ or is $b$ assigned to $a$? Being very interested in relations, functions and the best way on how to teach them at a set theoretic level, the following is something that has begun to puzzle me. Relations Let $A$ and $B$ be sets such that $a \in A$ and $b \in B$. Now, let $R \subset A \times B$...
H: Definition of the equality refered by the definition of a partial order A partial order $≤$ on a set $P$ must satisfy the following properties: Reflexivity: For all $a \in P$, $a ≤ a$ Anti-symmetry: For all $a,b \in P$, $a ≤ b \land b ≤ a → a = b$ Transitivity: For all $a,b,c \in P$, $a ≤ b \land b ≤ c → a ≤ c$ B...
