Complex similarity of real matrices implies real similarity Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
Suppose real matrices satisfy for an invertible complex matrix . Then and . The real polynomial is not identically zero because its value at is nonzero, so some real makes invertible. This real matrix intertwines and .
Diagonalizability inherited from an invertible power Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-29
Let be invertible over an algebraically closed field. If is diagonalizable for some , then is diagonalizable. Indeed, a nontrivial Jordan block has andThe first nonzero nilpotent term prevents this power from being diagonalizable.
Escaping bump counterexample to global uniform convergence Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
For a compactly supported nonzero function , the translates converge uniformly to zero on every compact subset of , while prevents uniform convergence on all of .
Crude incompleteness theorem Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-06
Every consistent recursively axiomatized extension of elementary arithmetic is incomplete. If it were complete, its theorem set would be decidable; representing that decision procedure and diagonalizing against it yields a contradiction.
Many-one completeness of the halting problem Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
Every recursively enumerable set many-one reduces to the diagonal halting set. If a program halts exactly on , the S-m-n theorem produces from an index for a unary program that ignores its input and performs that computation on . ThenConversely, a computable preimage of a recursively enumerable set is recursively enumerable.
Solvable affine algebraic group Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
An affine algebraic group is solvable when its derived series reaches the identity. A connected solvable affine algebraic group can be conjugated into an upper triangular matrix group by the Lie-Kolchin theorem.

Jacobian criterion Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
For an affine variety over a perfect field, the tangent-space codimension at a point is the rank of the Jacobian matrix of defining equations. The smooth locus of a pure -dimensional variety in is where this rank is .
Degree of the derivative of an elliptic function Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
If an elliptic function has degree and distinct poles in a fundamental parallelogram, then each pole order increases by one under differentiation, soBecause , this gives .
Degree of the derivative of a rational function Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
Let a nonconstant rational function have degree , let be its number of distinct finite poles, and let be its pole order at infinity, taken as zero when infinity is not a pole. Differentiation raises each finite pole order by one and changes a pole of order at infinity into one of order . HenceIn particular, .
