It seems that for invertible 2x2 matrices $A_i$ and $X$

$\det\big(\sum_{i=1}^n A_i+B\big) - \det\big(\sum_{i=1}^n A_i\big) = \det(B) + r$
where
$r = {\mathrm{tr}}\big(\sum_{i=1}^n {\mathrm{adj}}(A_i)\cdot B\big)$

with 'adj' the adjunct matrix (flipping components and dividing by the determinant)

I found the case for 2 matrices on SE and got the others by iterating from 2 to 3 and then guessing.
(Here the 2 matrices case https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/673934/expressing-the-determinant-of-a-sum-of-two-matrices)

Anybody seen this before?
Looks cumbersome to prove by induction but it's a helpful formula.

Well, to compute determinants of the form
det(A+B)
where the determinants of A and B are simpler (in my case, they are unitary matrices or derivatives of them).
I'm starting to think the formula is a relative of Jacobi's formula, which would suggest it works for higher dimensions too..

How do repeated Cartesian products work? Is there any difference between $A\times B\times C$ and $A\times (B\times C)$ ? First one would be a Cartesian product between three sets and second one would be a Cartesian product between two sets.

Cartesian product of three sets is usually not defined. Mathematicians use AxBxC as an abuse of notation to mean either (AxB)xC or Ax(BxC) depending on your preference. They're all turn out to be isomorphic using easy to define bijections, so it doesn't actually matter which one you use.
It's actually possible to define the product of three spaces, and there are many ways to do it, but it's useless when you can take the product of two twice.

Exotic remark: For n-tuples $A^n=A\times A\times \cdots\times A$ , one can go and define, as you suggest $A^{k+1}=A^k\times A$ recursively, with $A^1=A$ . but in that case you also have the alternative $A^n:=(\{0,1,2,\dots,n-1\}\to A)$ . I.e. the functions from $\{0,1\}$ to $A$ correspond to pairs in $A\times A$ . From a ZF perspective, the function definition is somewhat nicer in that it has smaller rank. In the recursive definition, you reach down deeper every time and at for some sets involving the product you then require Replacement.

Math bros, what do you tell your physics friends when they say physics is harder?
I usually just laugh at them and change the conversation because I dont really want to talk about it. I absolutely know that Im better than my friends in engineering, and when it comes to my friends in computer science its like Im a different species than them. But the thing is, I feel a bit insecure when it comes to my physics friends. Thankfully many of them tell me how difficult proofs are which makes me feel a little better. But I just am not sure if I am actually better than them. I dont know how hard physics is compared to math and so I dont really know how to treat my friends in physics. So what do you guys think?

How do I cite an entire field or refer to a body of literature in general? I am trying to write a paper on functional analysis, and I have to refer to some very general numerical methods that have been used in mathematical biology and control theory, but do not appear in the pure math literature. I just want to generally acknowledge that these tools have been used before, but primarily outside of pure math. I'm not citing any specific results, and I'm not even very familiar with control theory or mathematical biology. Do I need to provide a specific citation to like a survey article or encyclopedia entry, or is it fine if I just mention that these results can be found in the literature on control theory and mathematical biology?

In short, the most ‘difficult’ areas of physics are as ‘difficult’ as the most ‘difficult’ (i.e. relatively unexplored) areas of mathematics. You can train an older mathematician to become a good physicist, but I’m not convinced you could train an older physicist to become a good mathematician.

I got a C in calc 1 last year, and it was actually so close that it would've been a D if I had gotten one more question wrong on the final.
I'm currently sitting at 92.5% in calc 2. Granted, I could still fail the final but it's definitely possible to recover.

I have tutored people from a C to a B and sometimes an A in Calc, and I am a drunk with no degree. So some extra attention definitely helps. I can't recommend the personal tutor route though, because it is way too expensive (unless you get me, then it's obviously completely worth it). If you do go that route, first see if you can get one for free or very cheap through your college (because you likely can), and then if not, try to hire someone in person, because online services gauge both parties.

But in college, there is a lot more opportunity to get one-on-one time with TAs or professors if you actively seek it out. The most common problem is that people wait too long before asking for help, so if you are worried now about not getting through a STEM degree, and you do decide to major in a math-heavy field, it could help you a lot to plan for some of these semi-regular sessions right from the start. Office hours aren't just for you . . . but they are whenever you're the only person there.

Also, you don't have to major in STEM. I'm assuming that's what you want to do, but if it isn't, then I assure you nobody will care one shit about a C in a Calculus class. And if money is what you're worried about, then >>12466444 is right. Math is not how you make the biggest bucks.

$A\times (B\times C) \ne (A\times B)\times C$ in general (same thing when you include $A\times B\times C$ , they're all different) .
But the obvious bijection between them translate to isomorphism in any category, so that's why most analysists, algebraists and geometers work with them as if they were equal.

But what physicists do in general is not exactly what they're supposed to, which makes it less harder than what most mathematicians attempt to.
Most of what experimental physicists actually do is a joke.

Now if they think math is easier, tell then to read Witten's papers. If they could understand anything from there they'd know better about how hard math can get.

I really admire books that manage to balance accessibility with depth. This one I think is a good example of that. It has a kind of leisurely feel to it but does not skimp on rigor of exposition, it has plenty of examples and manageable exercises, and it spells a lot of things out that would probably be cut in more advanced textbooks (including background material).

Question from Tao's Analysis book:

>Definition 9.1.5 (?-adherent points). Let X be a subset of R, let ? > 0, and let x ? R. We say that x is ?-adherent to X iff there exists a y ? X which is ?-close to x (i.e., |x ? y| ? ?).

>Example 9.1.7. The point 1.1 is 0.5-adherent to the open interval (0, 1), but is not 0.1-adherent to this interval (why?). The point 1.1 is 0.5-adherent to the finite set {1, 2, 3}. The point 1 is 0.5-adherent to {1, 2, 3} (why?).

Using example 9.1.7 for point 1 and finite set {1,2,3}, x = 1, y = an element in {1,2,3} so x -1 or x-2 or x-3. 1-1 is 0, so is not greater than 0 and fails definition of epsilon > 0. 1-2 is 1, 1-3 is 2, where does he get 0.5?

Axiomatization is only necessary when you're dealing with inherently vague concepts such as the completed infinite. When you're actually explain what you're talking about, when your mathematics has semantics, there's no need for axiomatization. The different schools of thought, intuitionist, formalist, predicativist all converge to one school once you actually have semantics: they all were created just because of the meaninglessness of the completed infinite.
If you really think it's so hard to "establish which theorems hold in it and which doesn't", then surely you would have an example of a theorem (and ideally a proof) whose truth value or meaning is hard to establish in an finitist framework.
I really don't think there would be any trouble in agreeing which theorems actually hold once we look at mathematics as something meaningful, whose theorems can be translated to questions about the definite states of objects in the real world.

We have y = ax + b + ?, where ? ~ N(0, ?^2). This also means that y ~ N(ax +b, ?^2)
When we do regression, we find (maximum likelihood) estimators for a and b, usually denoted by a_hat and b_hat.
a_hat and b_hat both follow a normal distribution, because they're a linear combination of the sampled y_i that follow a normal.

So, you want to find a confidence interval for a normally distributed variable with Unknown variance.
This means that we need to use a student t distribution to create a confidence interval.
The estimated variance of a_hat, ?_hat(a_hat) has n-2 degrees of freedom.
(a_hat - a) / ?_hat(a_hat) ~ t_{n-2}

Mathematically, not really. Väisälä's topology textbooks maybe. A lot of nice poetry, both the archaic Kalevala style and the stuff that comes to mind when someone mentions poetry, and some good literary authors, but I don't know. I would imagine the best ones have been translated to quite a lot of different languages, like for example The Egyptian by Waltari. If those are your motives, then you should have a very strong interest for it to make any sense. The archaic poetry can be quite shamanistic if presented correctly, though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usDgBw8oy-U

I can only speak from experience, but personally I was surprised how many great poems in Hungarian hadn't been translated to English when I looked it up some time ago. Also, I looked at some of the existing translations, and it's definitely missing a lot of beauty from the original. You can't really appreciate the true nature of a piece of art written in one language by translating its content to another, it always loses a lot of the original character, replaced by the translator's own(perhaps trying to replicate the original, but still distinct).

That is true. A lot of word play and structural things will be lost always, and definitely when transitioning between Fenno-Ugric and Indo-European languages. It's a homomorphism, but far from an isomorphism. As Hungarian is one of those FU languages, I would imagine it getting butchered quite badly as well, as would Estonian for sure. The same of course happens to other way around, too.
>>12472097
Very true. Not only will such a person miss some of the fine nuances, but also lack the contextual knowledge gathered while learning the language by living it. Of course, if you study a language (and hence the context) as a kid, you will be able to learn a lot, but still miss out on something. I just realised I accidentally made a reference to Lawvere's by mentioning language and context at the same time. Too bad (or is it?) I know nothing else about them than that it sounds like some cyberpunk theocracy's state religion.

Speaking of languages and stuff reminded me of this http://www.darkeye.net/~fredrik/fun/swedish_language.txt

Translations can't indeed convey an author's writing style perfectly, but if you're really worried about that then perhaps you should indeed learn the language in which that book was originally written. In the end both readers (the ones who read the translation and the one who reads the original work) will be able to understand the main points of the book and honestly that's the part that matters the most, not that style isn't important, but for someone who doesn't want to be a writer it's the least important part of a book. Translations serve a purpose and most of the times, when done well, the only thing that they won't be able to replicate is style, even then a really good translator can mitigate any big differences in style.

Have you read the second part? I really liked how he took the donut-coffee cup joke and turned it into how a topologist may be unable to distinguish between them, but will be able to use the fundamental group to distinguish between a coffee cup and an ordinary bun. Also, how a topologist living in a corner of a finite dimensional cube would be certain that they live in a corner, but how a topologist living in a corner of the Hilbert cube can't. No idea why, but those made me smile. Also the first several chapters were good bed reading. The problems were mostly such that you could do them in your head without having to write anything down, but still required you to think.

Question: is it meaningful to speak of Natural numbers as a unique natural completed infinite?
Suggestion for a way to find an answer to this question:
Do one of the two
1. (Program in favor of finitism) Try to formulate a meaningless undecidable arithmetic proposition with a convincing argument that it has no natural truth value.
As formulated, nobody has convincingly done this yet. Godel and subsequent logicians have found undecidable arithmetic propositions but so far all of them have had natural truth values with a convincing argument for their truth from an infinitist framework, and from an infinitist framework they make a more convincing case for infinitist Platonism rather than finitism because they go against viewing arithmetic as merely shuffling of finite formulas, provided you believe in meaningfulness of large numbers.
2. (Program in favor of infinitism) Try and find a convincing argument (possible assuming infinitist framework) that point 1 cannot be done.

There is definitely no harm in doing that. Of course, their chance of replying is higher if they actually know you. Another thing you could consider doing is if someone you do know works in the same general area, say algebra, then you could ask for an introduction to get the ball rolling. Right now is a pretty busy time for most professors so don’t take it personally if you don’t get an immediate response. Just follow up with them politely after a week or so.

No problem. One last piece of advice, make sure you are specific about what exactly you want to work on, maybe even suggesting a reference text or paper that you would like to understand better. It makes you seem more serious. Also, make sure you ask about setting up a time to meet on Zoom or whatever online conference software you use.

Keep in mind that in order to be able to take this class you must have taken and passed 3 (12 week) classes into real analysis already.

There was a question on my last exam. It's literally high school tier, but I think I still don't know the answer:

Twelve horses, numbered 1-12, run on a race track. What is the probability that horse number 2 passes the finish line first, followed by horse number 3?

So, I think that's really asking what the probability of two consecutively numbered horses crossing the finish line in order is, right?

So it would really be a ballot box model described by
$\frac{n!}{k!(n - k)!}$
right?

So that would give us

$\frac{12!}{2!(12 - 2)!}$

which is 66. So the answer found be 1/66? That seems way too low.

I am completely retarded

Pls help me /sci/, I'm retarded.

How do you find the largest partition of a set, given certain relations? By largest partition I mean the partition with most sets. With no restrictions this would be trivial, e.g. [1 2 3 4 5 6 7] gives [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]. But say you had relations like

1
2 ~ 4
3
4 ~ 6 7
5
6 ~ 4
7 ~ 4

So the partition with 2 must also contain 4, and 4 must also have 6 and 7, so the largest partition is [1] [2 4 6 7] [3] [5]. Is there an algorithm that can solve this without needing to loop n times or reach huge recursion depths (e.g. 1~2, 2~3, 3~4... would lead to a shitload of recursion)? Is this even a studied problem, and if so what do I need to search to read up on it? Is there a really simple algorithm I can't see because I'm retarded? Does it help if you can assume the given relations are symmetrical (but not transitive)?

Do you guys think $i A^{ \mu } \partial_{ \mu } - m$ admits a valid green's function? Trying to see what happens if I make an electron-like scalar field along some "flow" $A^{ \mu }$ (which I will assume is constant at this point. Took a fourier transform and arrived at $D_F( x - y ) = \int \frac{ d^4 p } { ( 2 \pi )^4 } \frac{ e^{ - i p ( x - y ) } }{ A_{ \mu } p^{ \mu } + i m }$

$= \frac{ x_0 - y_0 }{ A_0 } e^{ -m ( x_0 - y_0 ) / A_0 } \int \frac{ d^3 p }{ ( 2 \pi )^3 } \left\{ e^{ -i \mathbf{ p } \cdot \left( \mathbf{ A } ( x_0 - y_0 ) / A_0 - ( \mathbf{ x } - \mathbf{ y } ) \right) } \right\}$

Seems bad, not really sure if it is Lorentz invariant (or has some easy lorentz transformation property), or how I can get the final integrals to converge to something meaningful

I have less than 2 days to decide where to go for PhD and I don't know what to do.

Relevant: My insterests are Number Theory (mainly algebraic) > Algebra (mainly commutative) > Analysis (mainly non-geometric) ? Combinatorics > Geometry (mainly non-differential).

I have two main choices.
$\bullet$ One is the best institute in my country. (Not just in my country, actually.) There are a few professors that work on areas that overlap with number theory, in particular 3 that work with algebraic geometry (which could me introduce to concepts of diophantine geometry). But one of them is too much of a geometer, the other is nearly dead and idk if would accept any more students, and the last one if overflown with PhD students. There's also a professor who works with automorphic forms, but it's way more analytical and geometric than arithmetic.
$\bullet$ Second, it's an uni close to second best (if not 2nd) in math countrywise. A professor I personally know (talked a bit more with him than any other) from there made me a PhD project proposal, with potentially a better scholarship. I have a good relationship with him and he's probably gonna have more disposable time than the others from the first option. Plus, he's a worldly known in his area, very prolific. But he works with a non-commutative area in algebra that employs a lot of combinatorics that I don't know much about.

I've already accepted that I have to get off the number theory boat (at least for a while), but I need to maximize my enthusiasm for whatever I'm going to study, while also taking into account future prospects etc.
I'm not a genius, so I can't just try to study whatever the fuck I most like alone if I want to actually proceed.

Wtf do I do, /mg/? I'm really lost.

number 2, having a supervisor you dig is mad important for passion. Also, imo it's better to have a prof big in his area rather than one at a big school, particularly the third guy with too many students, it's way better for your own development to study under a guy who can actually give you his time. Don't worry about not knowing much about the advanced combinatorics, that's why you're studying! (for real, the supervisor is there for questions and discussions, and if you're really lost he will recommend you PLENTY of reading material) Good luck!

Can someone shed light on representation theory? Ok so basically you have abstract objects from group theory and other abstract fields but you can write them down as a specific matrix so its easy to do practical calculations. The problem is you can choose the size of the matrix.. It can be 3x3, 4x4, 50x50, all the way to infinite, and all of them would be representatives of tge original abstract object. For instance i can represent a 3D rotation with a 3x3 matrix but could also with an 800x800 matrix if i feel like it. The problem is that alm these different representations have "extra properties" that have nothing to do with the original abstract object. For instance they have different eigenvalues, so these representations appear to have additional structures attached. What is the meaning of this? To what level can we say that a matrix representation of an abstract object "represents" the object?

Thanks for your take, anon.
About the third guy you mentioned: He's also big in his area (one of the two most influential in algebraic geometry in my country). I have a good relationship with him too, but I think the 2nd option prof is closer to me. But having a lot of students and organizing a unch of events really takes time.
The 2nd option's professor also has a bunch of things to do and some students. Right now he has one PhD, one post-doc, two undergrads and two masters. I don't know how much time he's going to have for me, but I'd still bet more than that third professor.
Also, it's not just combinatorics I don't know much about, but also non-commutative algebra. It's more that I don't know how the experience is going to be, I can only hope I'll like it since I don't dislike combinatorics and algebra in general.

One can approach the subject from two directions. For simplicity, let's say we have a finite group $G$ and some commutative ring (unital) $R$ . We can then think of all the groups of square matrices with non-zero determinants and with entries in $R$ , denote those by $GL_n(R)$ , where the subscript tells you the dimension. If the dimension is too small, then there will be non-trivial relations (or the homomorphism $\rho \colon G \to GL_n(R)$ will have a non-trivial kernel, and if the dimension is too big, it it will provide no information we did not already have. Let's simplify even more and assume our ring $R$ is a field $k$ . Then $GL_n(k) = \text{Aut}(k^n)$ , so actually we obtain an action of the group on the n-dimensional vector space over the field of choice. We may then ask what is the minimal dimension such that the kernel is trivial, and that for example will give us an invariant that can be used to distinguish between groups.

The other direction is that we start by constructing the group algebra $RG$ and then the modules over this group algebra are obtained like above. Take the free $R$ -module $R^n$ . Its automorphisms are the nxn-matrices with non-zero determinants, so map your group into that, and then use the projections $R^\mathscr{J} \to M$ to obtain all the possible actions of $G$ on $R$ -modules. Again using a field, we have the actions of our group on the vector spaces. Actually, this time we don't think about the action itself, but we think of it as the scalar multiplication of $kG$ (as $R=k$ for simplicity again). Then one can use all sorts of ring theoretical tricks to compare different groups, like for example ask what are the simple or indecomposable modules like, and so on.

Two corresponding ways to answer the same questions with different tools. Hope this helps.

And to add a bit, this isn't as stupid as it sounds. It would be completely idiotic to ask what are the indecomposable or simple vector spaces, but these are those, these are modules over $kG$ , so they need not coincide.

Thanks for your effort-post but it is way above my level. Can you recommend a book on representation theory?
Lets talk about terminology. When you say modules are you referring to different representations of the same group but according to the dimension? Like 3x3 matrix are a module od dimension 3, 7x7 matrix representation (of the same group) are a module of dimension 7?
Also did you say there is a specific module of some dimension with kernel=0 and lower dimension is a subspace and higher dimension doesn't have new information? What is the meaning of this specific representation? (Module is the right term?)
My motivation comes from quantum mechanics. Its said that different representations are associated to different physical particles, but i assumed a representation was just "some way" to write down a group or algebra element in a concrete way.
Post is to diffuse, plz recommend book

Yes, modules bring a lot more to the table than just vector spaces, like rings do so compared to just fields.
But you probably don't need to worry much about them if you just want to understand representation theory. The most basic stuff (like those isomorphism theorems) are similar to vector space stuff.

When $n=0$ it's obvious, just $\frac{2\sinh a}{a}$
but for $n>0$ I can't decide whether it's $\sqrt{\frac{2\pi}{a}}\frac{I_{n-\frac12}(a)}{2n}$ where $I_\nu(z)$ is the modified Bessel function, or whether it's $\sqrt{\frac{2\pi}{a}}I_{n-\frac12}(a)\tanh a$ which is what I ended up with after integrating by parts and solving the recurrence relation.
I think it's probably the first one but maybe someone else knows better. Trying two derivations and getting two answers got me confused.

>Can you recommend a book on representation theory
Not really, sorry. I approach it from the group algebra direction pretty much always, so I can't really recommend anything for sure. A book I sometimes use for reference is Burrow - Representation Theory of Finite Groups, and it is old but good.
>Like 3x3 matrix are a module od dimension 3, 7x7 matrix representation (of the same group) are a module of dimension 7?
I mean the number of rows (and/or columns, square matrices). Let's say we have the field of just 2 elements, 0 and 1. How many 2x2 matrices can we have? 16 is the total, and then we need to have non-zero determinants, which will reduce that to something like 4(ish) possibilities. If we would now try to send the elements from the cyclic group of 16 elements to those matrices, that would necessarily force distinct elements to be sent to the same matrix, and so on.
>Also did you say there is a specific module of some dimension with kernel=0 and lower dimension is a subspace and higher dimension doesn't have new information?
Let's just think of them as vector spaces. If we can get an injection into the automorphisms of an n-dimensional space from our group, then there is nothing new to be learned by mapping our group to the automorphisms of an (n+m)-dimensional space for any m>0, as the image of will then be those matrices in which the nxn top left part is the same, the rest of the main diagonal are 1's and all the other entries 0. That's what I meant. If we get rid of the redundant part, then (I think) this will give the minimal faithful representation of your group, but I'm not too familiar with this matrix formalism to say for sure.
>representation was just "some way" to write down a group or algebra element in a concrete way.
Yes. Any group can be turned more concrete by embedding it into a symmetric group. Similarly, these representations can be used to turn an arbitrary group into matrices.

Really hitting the character limit lately.

There are two main things to consider. Firstly that the best institute will have a better academic environment, and being exposed to that kind of cross fertilisation is very beneficial to you.
Secondly, the relationship with the supervisor is very important. Depending on your relationship, and his quality, that alone could outweigh any level of institutional esteem.
But in the end I'd say the big thing is you have to be a bit unrealistic with yourself here. Go for what you aspire to become, not what you think you realistically can do. You'll only get this opportunity once, and you will regret it if you don't reach for your ambitions. If there's one choice that really gets you excited, go for that one.

You have to build a network, or at the very least know which people matter in what you like and-or study in order to get a postdoc. But to get a postdoc , first you need a good thesis, even if the topic is not the one directly connected to the postdoc. There really should be between 5 and 30 people in the world you should know the names and where they work.

I would take 2. and make myself known to the people in 1. and 2. Especially during of conferences involving people in 1.
So thesis with 2. and postdoc with 1.

Try to get in tough with the emeritus professor and tell him what you work on and what you like and at some asking him if knows some postdoc positions.
