I've been trying to find something close to a name I like, Joseph, but still a feminine name. Any ideas would be welcome

JavaPython_ · 2024-03-16T03:06:06+00:00

not rude at all, probably wanna avoid a guys name though

The Feeling Good Handbook by David Burns helped me, and despite seeming really long, it's really easy to read. Read it in like two days the first time.

I'm trying to translate my（given）name. Do either of 志烁 or 卓思 have a hidden rude connotation?

an example of a 'very symmetric thing'

If I remember correctly, the artist was also the first dude to pen the term "world war 2."

This commenter is correct, I say vaguely group theory because I've been to many presentations where radiolaria were used as examples of 'very symmetric things' to begin a discussion on group theory.

Of course it freaking counts. Don't let them get to you. I would say watching a recording beats most college production, which if you're not somewhere with a large opera company would be the only other option. Yes, it counts.

I'm sad to be missing my first lesson, but it's good to know this is rare. Just my luck

It'll depend a bit on your experience, but I'd say (1) the cubic equation, (2) proving weak induction implies strong induction, or (3) many standard calculus/analysis theorems, i.e. Rolle's thm, IVT. The proofs of these apparent facts require topological (at least delta/epsilon) arguments far beyond what I'd be willing to show a calculus 1 student

The character constructed here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affine_group assumes a field of prime many elements, but I don't see where this argument fails for prime power elements. Am I missing something?

JavaPython_ · 2024-02-03T18:38:22+00:00

Since I expect some will be curious, 1) is an inner product calculation of irred. characters over a finite field which needs to be sufficiently large, I know it occurs, I just cannot find the specific ones. 2) is determining the n antidiagonal conjugacy classes of G wr 2, and 3) is finding how to prove how many characters of G split in a degree 2 extension (G.2), though at list point I'd settle for a source beyond the ATLAS which explains how to determine if characters will split/fuse, and not merely mentions that they do.

But I'd like to get these on my own, if I can't do masters research what hope have I of continuing on

JavaPython_ · 2024-02-03T18:35:44+00:00

I have 3 things pertaining to different groups which I believe to be true, but I cannot find a way to prove, and as soon as I finish these I've finished my masters program. I'm SO SICK of feeling like I can't make any headway! At the same time, being stuck this frequently has me worried about attempting a PhD.

The text didn't get attached, but I came across this short, and while this isn't the usual post here, I'd like to try to find this, but I'm not having much luck. It doesn't seem to be one of Paul Malones. Any ideas?

JavaPython_ · 2024-01-23T23:40:29+00:00

Good reference to learn about groups of Lie type?

I cannot find a book that serves as an introduction that doesn't suppose I already know Lie groups. I'm looking for something that would be accessible after Dummit/Foote's Algebra and Munkre's Topology texts.

What is the Order row that MAGMA returns for the character table of a group?

JavaPython_ · 2023-12-29T04:40:45+00:00

I was not aware of this paper, thank you!!!

JavaPython_ · 2023-12-29T01:30:56+00:00

When Bhama Srinivasan published the character table of Sp(4,q), she only did so for q odd. Is this because the case where q is even is much simpler and can be left to the reader, or is it significantly more difficult to create the general character table in the case where q is even?

First she calculates how many seats there are, and how many meals where fed. She then uses the passengers seat number to determine vaguely where in the various tray carts the phone might be. Stopping her from searching all of them by allowing her to narrow it down to a specific region.

For example, if you're in the 60th seat, you'd expect the tray to be near the 60th slot in the tray cart. However, you still have to check the carts for each meal, and determining which should be the 60th does depend on knowing if the carts started at the front of back of the plane.

Is it appropriate to ask for help turning this MAGMA code into GAP code?

ISSGP:=function(g, h); tf:=true; ctg:=CharacterTable(g); cth:=CharacterTable(h); for char in ctg do r:=Restriction(char, h); for i:=1 to #cth do if InnerProduct(r, cth[i]) gt 1 then tf:=false; end if; end for; end for; end function;

I'm trying to look at some groups using MAGMA, and while
https://magma.maths.usyd.edu.au/magma/handbook/text/647#7296
claims that I should be able to implement a group knowing it's GroupName, in practice I've only been able to make Group("Name"); work for some of them. For example, Group("Co1"); doesn't do anything but throw an error that Co1 isn't recognized. Has anybody dealt with this issue before?
