The layer cake representation with $\phi (t)=t^p$ givesFor each $s>0$, splitSince $M{f}_1\le s/2$ and the maximal operator is sublinear,The weak $(1,1)$ Hardy-Littlewood maximal inequality therefore givesSubstitution into the distribution formula and another application of Tonelli theorem yieldThus the Strong Lp bound for the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function holds with

For every $t\ge 0$, the fundamental theorem of calculus givesApply this with $t=|F(x)|$. Since the integrand is nonnegative, Tonelli theorem permits exchanging the integrals:This is the generalized layer cake representation.

Suppose $C(K)$ is equicontinuous. At each $x\in K$, choose a neighbourhood $U$ such thatfor every $y\in U$ and every $f\in C(K)$. If some $y\in U$ differed from $x$, the Urysohn lemma for the compact Hausdorff space $K$ would give a continuous function with $f(x)=0$ and $f(y)=2$, a contradiction. Thus every singleton is open, so $K$ is discrete. A compact discrete space is finite, proving

Compactness is essential. Any infinite set with the discrete topology has equicontinuous $C(K)$, because the singleton neighbourhood $\{x\}$ works simultaneously for every function, but the space is infinite.

For each positive integer $i$, apply the Stone-Weierstrass theorem on the closed ball $\overline{B}(0,i)$ to choose a polynomial $p_i$ in $n$ variables satisfyingEvery compact $B\subset {\mathbb{R}}^n$ lies in some such ball, so the same estimate for all sufficiently large $i$ proves that $p_i{|}_B\to f{|}_B$ uniformly.

Now suppose instead that $p_i\to f$ uniformly on all of ${\mathbb{R}}^n$. For sufficiently large $i,j$, the polynomial $p_i-p_j$ is bounded on ${\mathbb{R}}^n$, and every nonconstant real polynomial is unbounded along a suitable line. Hence $p_i-p_j$ is constant. A tail of the sequence is therefore one fixed polynomial plus a uniformly convergent sequence of constants, and its limit is a polynomial. The converse is immediate from the constant sequence. ThusThis is the globally uniform limit of real polynomials criterion.

The Arzelà-Ascoli theorem says that a subset $\mathcal{F}\subseteq C(K)$ is relatively compact in the uniform norm exactly when it is equicontinuous and pointwise bounded.

The real Stone-Weierstrass theorem says that a real subalgebra $A\subseteq C(K,\mathbb{R})$ is uniformly dense if it contains the constants and separates points of $K$. In the complex version, a complex subalgebra $A\subseteq C(K,\mathbb{C})$ must additionally be closed under complex conjugation.

For an example, take $K=[0,1]$ andThis family is bounded in the uniform norm, but it is not equicontinuous at $1$. Equivalently, every subsequence converges pointwise to the discontinuous function that is zero on $[0,1)$ and one at $1$, so no subsequence converges uniformly. Thus $\mathcal{F}$ is bounded but not relatively compact.

The space $V$ is homeomorphic to ${\mathbb{R}}^3$, hence contractible and simply connected. Part (a) therefore identifies $V\to N$ as the universal covering map. Its deck transformation group consists of the left translations by $\Gamma$, so covering-space theory givesCombining this with the homeomorphism from part (c),

For $u=e^{2\pi iy}$ and $w=e^{2\pi iz}$, defineChanging $y$ or $z$ by an integer changes $v(-t,y,z)$ by left multiplication by an element of $\Gamma$, so $\Phi$ is independent of the chosen lifts. It also respects the mapping-torus seam becausewhich is exactly the identification

Every $\Gamma$-orbit has a representative with its first coordinate in $[-1,0]$, so $\Phi$ is surjective. If two such representatives lie in one orbit, the integer shift of their first coordinates is zero unless they are opposite endpoints; in the first case their torus coordinates agree, and in the endpoint case they are related by the displayed seam. Thus $\Phi$ is injective. It is continuous, $M$ is compact, and $N$ is Hausdorff, so a continuous-bijection theorem givesThis realizes the Heisenberg nilmanifold as a torus mapping torus.

The mapis continuous and satisfies $g\circ f=f\circ g={\mathrm{id}}_T$. Therefore

Write $v(x,y,z)$ for the displayed upper-unitriangular matrix. Matrix multiplication givesThus $V$ is the real Heisenberg group and $\Gamma$ is its Integer Heisenberg group. The subgroup $\Gamma$ is discrete. Choose an identity neighbourhood $U\subset V$ so small thatThen the translates $\gamma U$ are pairwise disjoint, and the quotient map restricts on each one to a homeomorphism onto the same open subset of $N$. Hence every point has an evenly covered neighbourhood andThis is the general quotient of a topological group by a discrete subgroup construction.

For $K=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-163})$, the fundamental discriminant is $-163$ and the Minkowski bound for ideal classes isThus every ideal class contains an integral ideal of norm at most eight.

The ring of integers of a quadratic field is $\mathbb{Z}[\theta ]$ for $\theta =(1+\sqrt{-163})/2$, whose minimal polynomial is $X^2-X+41$. Its discriminant $-163$ is a quadratic nonresidue modulo each of $3,5,$ and $7$; directly modulo two, $X^2+X+1$ has no root. Hence these primes are inert by the splitting of rational primes in a quadratic field. The only prime ideal over one of them with norm at most eight is $(2)$, which has norm four and is principal. Unique prime ideal factorization now makes every ideal of norm at most eight principal. The Minkowski bound therefore provesThis is the Ideal class group of Q of square root of minus one hundred sixty-three.

LetIts minimal polynomial is $X^2-X+m$, and the algebraic norm givesSuppose that $N$ is composite and choose a prime divisor $q\le \sqrt{N}<m$. Since $X^2-X+m$ has the root $-n$ modulo $q$, the idealis a prime ideal of ideal norm $q$. The triviality of the ideal class group makes $\mathfrak{q}=(\beta )$ principal, so $|N_{L/\mathbb{Q}}(\beta )|=q$.

The ring of integers of a quadratic field consists of elementswhose norm is $(a^2+p{b}^2)/4$. If $b=0$, this norm is a square and cannot be the prime $q$. If $b\ne 0$, thenand integrality gives $q\ge m$, again a contradiction. Therefore the Euler prime-generating quadratic from class number one yields

Choose distinct primes $p_1,\dots ,p_{1000}$. The moduli $p_k^2$ are pairwise coprime, so the Chinese remainder theorem supplies an integer $N$ satisfyingConsequentlyso $p_k\mid N+k$ but $p_k^2\nmid N+k$. By the definition of a squarefull number, $N+k$ is therefore not squarefull. Adding a sufficiently large multiple of ${\prod }_k{p}_k^2$ makes $N$ positive without changing any congruence. The integers $N+1,\dots ,N+1000$ are the required consecutive integers.

For pairwise coprime integers $m_1,\dots ,m_r$, put $M={\prod }_i{m}_i$. The Chinese remainder theorem states that reduction gives an isomorphismEquivalently, every system $x\equiv a_i(\mathrm{mod}{m}_i)$ has one solution modulo $M$.

For existence, let $M_i=M/m_i$. Since $\gcd (M_i,m_i)=1$, choose $u_i$ with $u_i{M}_i\equiv 1(\mathrm{mod}{m}_i)$. Thenhas every required residue: modulo $m_j$, all terms except the $j$th vanish and the remaining term is $a_j$. For uniqueness, if $x$ and $y$ have the same residues, every $m_i$ divides $x-y$. Pairwise coprimality then makes $M$ divide $x-y$. Thus the simultaneous solution exists and is unique modulo $M$.

The commutator subgroup, or derived subgroup, isA linear character is afforded by a one-dimensional representation $\rho :G\to {\mathbb{C}}^{\times }$. Since ${\mathbb{C}}^{\times }$ is abelian, every commutator lies in $\ker \rho$, so

Let $\pi :G\to G/G^{\prime }$ be the quotient map. Every irreducible representation of a finite abelian group is one-dimensional, so each irreducible character $\psi$ of the abelianization $G/G^{\prime }$ inflates to the linear character $\psi \circ \pi$ of $G$. Conversely, the containment $G^{\prime }\le \ker \chi$ makes every linear character of $G$ factor uniquely through $G/G^{\prime }$. Thus inflation of a group representation gives a bijection

First consider a $K_{t,t}$-free bipartite graph with parts $X,Y$, each of size at most $n$, and $m$ edges. Count pairs $(S,y)$ in which $S$ is a $t$-element subset of the graph neighbourhood of $y\in Y$. Any $t$ vertices of $X$ have at most $t-1$ common neighbours, since $t$ common neighbours would form the complete bipartite graph $K_{t,t}$. ConsequentlyIf the average degree of a vertex is bounded in terms of $t$, then $m=O(n)$ and the required result is immediate. Otherwise, convexity of $x\mapsto \left(\genfrac{}{}{0ex}{}{x}{t}\right)$ and the preceding inequality giveand hence $m=O(n^{2-1/t})$. Every graph has a bipartite spanning subgraph containing at least half its edges, obtained by choosing a random bipartition. Applying the bipartite estimate to that subgraph proves the Kővári–Sós–Turán theorem in the required form:

The stated "nice" subsets of the finite cyclic group ${\mathbb{Z}}_n$ are Sidon sets. Ifthen $a+d=c+b$. Niceness forces $(a,b)=(c,d)$; the alternative pairing would force $a=b$. Thus the $|A|(|A|-1)$ ordered nonzero differences are distinct elements of the $n-1$ nonzero residue classes. Thereforeso

The Erdős-Stone theorem states that if the chromatic number of $H$ is $r+1\ge 2$, thenIf $H$ is a bipartite graph with at least one edge, its chromatic number is two, so $r=1$ and therefore

WriteLet $G$ be an $H$-free graph on $n$ vertices with $\mathrm{ex}(n,H)$ edges, and choose a uniformly random set of $m<n$ vertices. Its induced subgraph is still $H$-free, and each edge survives with probability $\left(\genfrac{}{}{0ex}{}{m}{2}\right)/\left(\genfrac{}{}{0ex}{}{n}{2}\right)$. Henceso $d_m(H)\ge d_n(H)$. Thus the normalized extremal number is nonincreasing and bounded below by zero, proving that
