To find the value of c in the equation log2004(log2003(log2002(log2001x))) where x > c, it is essential to ensure that all logarithmic expressions are defined and positive. This leads to the condition log2003(log2002(log2001(x))) > 0, which implies that log2002(log2001(x)) must be greater than 1. Continuing this process, it is derived that log2001(x) must be greater than 2002, ultimately resulting in the conclusion that c equals 2001^2002. Understanding these logarithmic properties is crucial for solving the equation correctly. The final answer for c is thus established as 2001^2002.

The Following is defined,

log2004(log2003(log2002(log2001x)))

where x > c, what is c?

Answer is 2001^2002, but how to obtain it?

I do not know much about logs as I am only in precalculus.

Remember that (the real) logarithm function at any base is defined only on the real positive numbers, thus it must be
$$\log_{2003}(\log_{2002}(\log_{2001}(x)))>0$$
(I'm assuming that those numbers you wrote in such an unclear way are the logarithms' bases), and from here
$$\log_{2002}(\log_{2001}(x))>1\Longrightarrow \log_{2001}(x)>2002\Longrightarrow...etc $$

I am studying the mathematical formalism behind non-commutative geometry approach to quantum gravity. I was reading about Hopf algebras and their Drinfeld twist with a specific example of the Moyal-Weyl twist defined as F=exp(-iλ/2θ^(μν)∂_μ⊗∂_ν) where λ is a constant parametar and θ antisymmetric constant tensor. {∂_μ} is the basis of the tangent vector space over the underlying spacetime Now, from my understanding the enveloping algebra which appears in the definition of the Hopf algebra...
