Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around a set of mathematical problems related to the concept of conjugates in a multi-variable context, specifically focusing on local invertibility, the properties of a Möbius band, minimal surfaces, and manifold theory. The scope includes theoretical exploration and potentially homework-related inquiries.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested
  • Technical explanation

Main Points Raised

  • One participant presents a function defined in R3 and asks for a proof of local invertibility at a specific point.
  • Another participant introduces a parametrization related to the Möbius band and requests computation of a normal vector, along with limits as theta approaches specific values.
  • A third problem involves showing that a certain surface is minimal and is referred to as a helicoid.
  • A fourth problem asks for a proof regarding the product of two manifolds being a C-infinity manifold.
  • Some participants question the clarity and intent of the original post, suggesting it may be homework or lacking sufficient detail.
  • There is confusion regarding the term "conjugate" and its definition in the context of the problems presented.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express disagreement on the nature of the original post, with some questioning whether it constitutes homework and others debating the simplicity of the problems. There is no consensus on the definition of "conjugate" as used in the context of the discussion.

Contextual Notes

Participants have not clarified their assumptions regarding the term "conjugate," and there is uncertainty about whether the problems are derived from homework or are original inquiries. The discussions also reflect varying levels of engagement with the problems posed.

Hi I have received PM so I would like to post this question for scientific debate

here conjugate of every variable is denoted by _.
1.define f_:R3->R3 by f_(x_)=y_, where y1=x1+(x2)2+(x3-1)2,

y2=(x1)2+x2+((x3)2-3.x3), y3=(x1)3+(x2)2+x3.prove that f_ is locally

invertible about x_=(0,0,1).

2.let x_(theta,v)= (cos theata,sin theta,0)+v(sin 1/2 theta.cos theta,

sin1/2theata.sin theta,cos1/2 theta) with -pi<theata<pi,-1/2<v<1/2.

compute n_(theta,0) and show that

lim theta->-pi n_(theta,0)=-lim theta->pi n_(theta,0).

while lim theta->-pi x_(theta,0)=-lim theta->pi x_(theta,0).

[this is called the mobius band].give anothe coordinate patch so that

theta=+\-pi is included, thus making it to a surface [note that it is

impossible to make a choice of unit normal at each point of this surface

in a continuous fashion].

3.let M be the surface x_(u1,u2)=(u2cosu1,u2sinu1,pu1),where p is a

non zero constant.show that M is a minimal .[Mis called a hellicoid.]

4.if M1(resp.M2) is a C infinity n1-manifold (resp.n2-manifold),prove

M1xM2 is a C infinity n-manifold for n=n1+n2.

[hint.if (Ui,Qi) is a chart about mi belongs to Mi,than that make

(U1xU2,Q1xQ2) achart about (m1,m2)].

Is something wrong with normal 12pt black text?!...Your post is an eyesore to try and read.

Have you made any attempt at these problems? Is this homework?
 


"Scientific debate"? Why should anyone debate something as simple as this?

The only debate is what do you mean by "conjugate"?
 


Hi I got this question from private message therefore I posted it if anyone feel it is homework do not answer on it because I don't know if it homework or not even it is as simple as this
