The inequality implies , so or . Since is continuous and is connected, its image lies wholly in one of these intervals. If , then has no zero and ; Liouville theorem makes , hence , constant. If , then , so the same argument applied to proves that is constant.
The Cauchy integral formula and its differentiated form are
If is entire and , the Cauchy estimate gives . Letting yields for every . Thus is constant, which is Liouville theorem.
Let , the symmetry group of a square. The map
preserves the relations and is an automorphism. Conjugation by a rotation sends to , while conjugation by a reflection also inverts . Therefore no conjugation fixes and sends to . This is an outer automorphism of the nonabelian group .
Use the presentation . Its subgroup is the unique subgroup of order , hence is a characteristic subgroup. An automorphism must send to or and to one of the three reflections . Thus there are at most six automorphisms.
The center of a group of is trivial, so conjugation embeds as a group of six inner automorphisms. These exhaust the possibilities. Hence every automorphism of is inner.
The equations are
Hence
which is not generally zero. Conservation requires . Then the potential is , so the action has rotational symmetry. By Noether's theorem, is the conserved angular momentum, up to the sign convention used in its definition.
The Euler-Lagrange equations are and . They imply
Writing
gives the conserved value
Taking the Laplace transform in gives
The bounded resolvent solution supplied in the hint can be written
Part (a) inverts the kernel, yielding the heat kernel
The Laplace transform is
Using the supplied Gaussian integral after gives
The cover has no finite subcover, because every is finite. Hence is not compact.
For the stated pasting lemma for closed subspaces, if is closed, then
is a union of two closed subsets of ; therefore is continuous.
For , let . On define a path equal to before the endpoint and equal to at the endpoint; it is continuous because every open set containing also contains its divisor . On define it to equal at the first endpoint and thereafter. This is likewise continuous. The two closed-interval paths agree at , so the pasting lemma joins them into a path from to . Thus is path-connected.
Since when the greatest common divisor is at least , and is empty otherwise, finite intersections of the are again among the allowed unions. Arbitrary unions are built into the definition; the empty union is empty, and . Thus these sets form a topology.
The space is not Hausdorff: every neighborhood of contains its divisor , and every neighborhood of contains , so and cannot have disjoint neighborhoods.
A complete metric space is one in which every Cauchy sequence converges. On define
The map is an isometry from onto the closed subset of , so is a metric and is complete. That map and its inverse are continuous in the ordinary Euclidean metrics, so it is also a homeomorphism. Therefore induces exactly the usual subspace topology on .
The characteristic polynomial is . For , one finds but , so the minimal polynomial is . Hence the invariant factors are and , and the rational canonical form is
Make an -module by . It is finitely generated and torsion, so the structure theorem gives cyclic summands with . In the power basis of each summand, multiplication by has the companion matrix of . Their block diagonal sum is the rational canonical form, unique because the invariant factors are unique.
During any year, repeats may be ignored until the first non-repeat outcome. Conditional on that event, the chance of progressing is
The student must progress successfully through all three years. By the Markov property, the required probability is therefore
The three year states are transient states: from each there is positive probability of entering an absorbing state, and repeated trials make eventual departure certain because . The singleton classes and are closed absorbing states, hence recurrent. Thus the chain has two closed recurrent classes and three transient singleton classes.
In the order , where means left without a degree and means graduated, the transition matrix is
Here .
