    Ring with Infinitely Many Simple Modules

    Homework Statement Give an example of a ring R with infinitely many non-isomorphic simple modules. The Attempt at a Solution I was thinking of setting R=\mathbb{Z}_{p_1}\times \mathbb{Z}_{p_2}\times \mathbb{Z}_{p_3}\times \cdots where p_1,p_2,p_3,\ldots is an infinite increasing list...

    Using generators to check for a normal subgroup

    Homework Statement Perhaps I should say first that this question stems from an attempt to show that in the group \langle x,y|x^7=y^3=1,yxy^{-1}=x^2 \rangle,\ \langle x \rangle is a normal subgroup. Let G be a group with a subgroup H . Let G be generated by A\subseteq G . Suppose...

    Square lemma for Paths, Homotopy

    Ah. Brain malfunction on my part. For some reason I was thinking of I\times I as the boundary of the square and not the whole square. That's sorted then. Thanks!

    Square lemma for Paths, Homotopy

    Homework Statement In Lee's "Topological Manifolds", there is a result on page 193 called "The Square Lemma" which states that if I denotes the unit interval in \mathbb{R}, X is a topological space, F\colon I\times I\to X is continuous, and f,g,h,k are paths defined by...

    Integrals going to 0 implies functions go to 0?

    This seems not to be true. See 2.12.41(ii) here...

    Integrals going to 0 implies functions go to 0?

    Homework Statement This question is not the assignment problem but I think that if the result I mention here is true, then my assignment problem will be solved. Let (X,\Sigma,\mu) be a measure space. Suppose that (h_n)_{n=1}^\infty is a sequence of non-negative-real-valued integrable...

    Does Fourier series of x^2 converge?

    Yeah it's pretty sweet. It's not too restrictive.

    Does Fourier series of x^2 converge?

    No I think it is. I quote Corollary 2.3 from "Fourier Analysis" by Stein and Shakarchi - "Suppose that f is a continuous function on the circle and that the Fourier series of f is absolutely convergent, \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty |\hat{f}(n)|<\infty. Then, the Fourier series converges...

    Does Fourier series of x^2 converge?

    I was just looking to see if it converged. So yes, you're absolutely right. I was going well off-beam with my attempt. And about converging to x^2; I guess it does so uniformly since the function is continuous on the circle and the Fourier series converges absolutely. Thank you!

    Does Fourier series of x^2 converge?

    I'm trying to show that the Fourier series of f(x)=x^2 converges and I can't. Does anybody know if it actually does converge? (I'm assuming that f(x)=x^2 for x\in [-\pi,\pi]). The Fourier Series itself is \displaystyle\frac{\pi^2}{3}+4\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{(-1)^n}{n^2}\cos nx I tried...

    Convolution Question Homework: Period & Expression Calculation

    Homework Statement This is a question from a sample exam, rather than a homework problem. \text{Let }f \text{ be the periodic function with period } 1 \text{ defined for }-1/2\leq t<1/2 \text{ by }f(t)=t^2\\ \text{ and let }g \text{ be the periodic function with period } 1 \text{ defined...

    Proving inf A + inf B ≤ inf(A+B): Is it True?

    Thanks. I got it in the end but your way is much prettier.

    Proving inf A + inf B ≤ inf(A+B): Is it True?

    Hi, I'm just wondering this: If A and B are subsets of the real numbers, is inf A + inf B = inf(A+B)? I've proved that inf A + inf B <or= inf(A+B)? I've tried the rest of the proof but it won't work. Is it even true?

    0^0=1. Of course. Thanks.

    Simple Holomorphic Functions Question

    I have the following statement: Let A\subseteq \mathbb{C} be open and let f\colon A \to \mathbb{C} be holomorphicic (in A). Suppose that D(z_0,R)\subseteq A. Then f(z)=\sum_{k=0}^\infty a_k(z-z_0)^k\ \forall z\in D(z_0,R), where a_k=\displaystyle\frac{1}{2\pi...
