comment Sperner's theorem on antichains - where does it come from?
One of my professors, Gyula Katona, mentions in his doctoral thesis that Sperner used his result to answer the following question: given a square-free integer, what is the maximum number of its positive divisors that do not divide one another? I hope this might help.

comment An equivalent condition for strong-mixing
Ergodicity implies convergence in the Cesàro sense, thus, should it exist, the limit in (1) is $\mu(A)\mu(B)$.

comment Winding number of algebraic curves
You are right. The picture belongs to the real plane, but we need to work over an algebraically closed field. I have to think about this problem.

comment Winding number of algebraic curves
Obviously, this has something to do with parametrisation of algebraic curves, which is related to the resolution of singular points (for a picture, think about a node). Hopefully, the winding number might control the number of subsequent blow-ups in a certain desingularisation process, or at least give us a better insight to the nature of singular curves.

comment Automorphisms of an affine line over finite fields
@Andrew: I am still curious. Is it true that over a finite field any k-algebra automorphism of k[x]/I(A_k) is of the form [p(x)]->[p(ax+b)] as above?

comment Automorphisms of an affine line over finite fields
Is there a classical theory for this without using the language of schemes, or it is just not interesting or perhaps difficult to deal with?

comment Automorphisms of an affine line over finite fields
I am not convinced. For any subvariety V of the affine line A_k, the coordinate ring k[V] is defined as the quotient k[x]/I(V). According to this, for V=A_k, we have k[A_k]=k[x]/I(A_k). Of course, when k is an infinite field, I(A_k)=(0), and the coordinate ring is just k[x]. In case of a finite field, we may have different polynomials with the same values on each element of k.

Because it is an invariant, explaining the very reason why you are trying to minimise $||y-kx||$.

comment Construction of graded rings and modules
By standard I mean standard (possibly multi-) graded polynomial algebras. I am also aware of Rees algebras, but they still rely heavily upon an ideal of a ring. I would be glad to hear about other approaches.
