### Trace evaluation via complex analysis

We are given $U$, $V$ unitary matrices of size $N \times N$ whose spectral decomposition is known (in my specific problem, $N=4$, and $U$, $V$ are matrices with real coefficients but we can keep it ...

### proof of number of prime factors of $n$

Given an integer $n$ between 1 and 1000000, how do you directly prove that $n$ has at most 19 prime factors (with multiplicity)? I'm quite stuck on how to do this. I can understand the base case ...

### Convergence in distribution for $\frac{Y}{\sqrt{\lambda}}$

Given a sequence of independent r.v's $\{X_n\}_{n\geq 1}$ such that $P(X_n=x)=\frac{1}{2}$ if $x=-1$ and/or $x=1$ Let $N\in Po(\lambda)$ be independent of $\{X_n\}_{n\geq 1}$ and we set that ...

### Deriving Euler's theorem from Fermat's little theorem

I would like to know why $a^p \equiv a \pmod p$ is the same as $a^{p-1} \equiv 1 \pmod p$, and also how Fermat's little theorem can be used to derive Euler's theorem, or vice versa. Please keep in ...

### Evaluating the bounds for a triple integral

I've working on the problem: Evaluate $\iiint_Q$ $1/(x^2 + y^2 + z^2)$, where Q is the solid region ABOVE the xy-plane (and we must do this in spherical coordinates). What I've done thus far is ...

### How do you evaluate elements of the Drinfeld double $D(H)$ against elements of $H^\ast$ or $H$?

Proposition 8.2 of Majid's primer on quantum groups says that if $H$ is a finite dimensional Hopf algebra with quantum double $D(H)$, then this is a factorizable Hopf algebra with quasi-triangular ...

### troubles showing existence of Clifford-algebra

We had the following definition in class: Let $V$ be a vector space, $K$ a field and $Q$ be a quadratic form. We call $(C(V,Q),j)=C$ a Clifford-algebra if: $C$ is an assoziative algebra with 1, ...

### Binary solutions of multivariate polynomial system in special (factored) form.

In my personal research I've run into a system of multivariate polynomials (with coefficients in a field). I am aware that there is no polynomial time algorithm (in the number of indeterminates) for ...
