## About the cohomology of $BG^\delta$. Making a Lie group discrete

Let $G$ be a connected Lie group. Recall that the topological group $G^\delta$ is $G$ endowed with the discrete topology. The inclusion $G^\delta \to G$ induces a map between the classifying spaces $\eta: BG^\delta\to BG$. Question 1 Let $\eta^*:H^*(BG,\mathbb{Z})\to H^*(BG^\delta,\mathbb{Z})$ be the induced map in integral cohomology. By Corollary 1 in Milnor, On the homology […]

## How can I determine how many $B$-smooth numbers are below a given number?

Suppose I have a factor Basis with primes $F =\{2, 3, \dots, B \}$ and I want to know how many numbers exist in the range $1 \leq 2^{a_2}3^{a_3} \dots B^{a_{B}} \leq N$ for a natural number $N$ with exponents $a_2,a_3,\dots,a_{B}$. Such numbers are called $B$-smooth numbers. In the Special case where $B=5$ we have […]

## Prime Ideals of $\mathbb{C}^{n}$

What are the prime ideals of the ring $\mathbb{C}^{n}$? I was thinking that it is $e_{i} : i \in [n]$, where $I = e_{i} = \mathbb{C}^{(i)}= (\mathbb{C} , \dots , 0 , \dots , \mathbb{C})$, where the $i^{th}$ copy of $\mathbb{C}$ is not in $e_{i}$ because taking quotients yields $\mathbb{C}$ which is a domain? Is […]

## O(1) or o(logn) discrepancy for multiples of an irrational for at least one sub interval

O(1) or o(logn) discrepancy for multiples of an irrational for at least one sub interval. Using $\{x\}$ to denote the fraction part of $x$ we can define for any $I\subset [0,1]$, $$E(n,\theta, I) ={ \left|\{\,\{\theta\},\{2\theta\},\dots,\{n\theta\} \,\} \cap I \right|}-n|I|$$  $$\Delta_{sup}(n,\theta)=\sup_I |E(n,\theta,I)|$$. The Equidistribution Theorem says that the sequence $a_i=(i\theta)$, $i\in\mathbb{Z}_{\geq1}$ is equidistributed modulo […]

## MLE of random samples

If $V_1$, $V_2$, $\dots$ , $V_n$ and $W_1$, $W_2$, $\dots$ , $W_n$ are independent random samples of size $n$ from normal populations with the means $\mu_1 = \alpha + \beta$ and $\mu_2 = \alpha – \beta$ and the common variance $\sigma^2 = 1$, find maximum likelihood estimators for $\alpha$ and $\beta$. Is it enough to […]

## Distance to the big cone and Seshadri constant on Fano manifolds

I would like to know something about the following two questions. Given $X$ Fano manifold and $L$ an ample line bundle on $X$, we define \begin{gather} \sigma(L,x):=\sup\{t>0\, :\, \mu^{*}L-tE \,\, \mbox{is big}\, \},\\ \end{gather} for any $x\in X$ where $\mu:Y\to X$ is the blow-up at $x$ and $E$ is the exceptional divisor. Is there any […]
