The chosen non-eventually-one binary expansion fixes the ambiguity at dyadic rationals. Its $n$th digit isIn particularThis is a finite union of Borel sets; the zero-digit preimage is its complement in $[0,1)$. Since $R_n$ only takes the values zero and one, every Borel preimage is a union of these two sets. Thus it is Borel measurable. The half-open intervals implement the terminating-zero convention at dyadic endpoints.

The set of finitely disagreeing pairs is ${\bigcup }_{N\ge 0}{F}_N$, where $F_N$ consists of pairs whose digits agree at every position beyond $N$. For $M>N$, requiring agreement just at positions $N+1,\dots ,M$ defines a union of dyadic rectangles of total area $2^{-(M-N)}$: among the $2^{2M}$ pairs of length-$M$ prefixes, exactly $2^{M+N}$ meet these $M-N$ matching constraints, each rectangle having area $2^{-2M}$.

Since $F_N$ is contained in each of these finite-prefix agreement sets, its measure is at most $2^{-(M-N)}$ for every $M$, hence zero. Countable subadditivity now givesThus almost every pair disagrees in infinitely many digits. Dyadic endpoints, treated with the stipulated expansion convention, do not change any rectangle measure.

Assume the holonomic constraints have linearly independent gradients, so their common level set is locally a smooth constraint manifold parametrized by $q_1,\dots ,q_n$. The multiplier form of the Euler-Lagrange equations isAt fixed time ${\sum }_A{\partial }_A{f}_{\alpha }{\partial }_i{x}_A=0$. The chain rule for the reduced Lagrangian givesConversely, if these reduced equations hold, the Cartesian Euler-Lagrange residual annihilates every tangent direction. Linear independence of the constraint gradients implies that it is a linear combination of those gradients, giving the required Lagrange multipliers. This proves the local equivalence, including time-dependent constraints; singular constraints would need separate analysis.

For the bead, $\dot{y}=f^{\prime }(x)\dot{x}$, soThe autonomous conservation of energy gives $E=\frac{1}{2}(1+f^{\prime 2}){\dot{x}}^2$. If $E>0$, the motion has a fixed sign $s=\mathrm{sgn}\dot{x}$ andThe integral is the signed arc length divided by the constant speed, and is locally invertible. The special solution $E=0$ is a stationary bead, for which writing time as a function of its unchanging position is not meaningful.

Use uniform finite-stage enumerations $W_{n,s}$ and $K_s$. Define a uniformly recursively enumerable setThe S-m-n theorem supplies a total computable index function $f$ with $W_{f(n)}=V_n$. If $W_n$ is finite of size $h$, then $V_n\subseteq \{0,\dots ,h-1\}$, so $V_n$ is recursive. If $W_n$ is infinite, then for every $x\in K$ a sufficiently late stage has both $x\in K_s$ and $|W_{n,s}|>x$, while no $x\notin K$ is ever enumerated. Hence $V_n=K$, which is not recursive. Therefore $\boxed{n\in P⟺f(n)\in Q,P{\le }_{m}Q}$. As usual the effective numbering indexes all programs; if malformed codes are included, send them to a fixed index of $K$.

Zorn lemma states that a partially ordered set in which every chain in a partially ordered set has an upper bound has a maximal element. Include the empty chain in a partially ordered set, so the hypotheses imply that the set $P$ is nonempty. Suppose there were no maximal element. Every chain in a partially ordered set $C$ has an upper bound $u$, and some $v>u$; therefore the set of elements strictly above every member of $C$ is nonempty. The axiom of choice selects one such element $f(C)$ for each chain in a partially ordered set (and an element of $P$ when $C$ is empty).

By Hartogs theorem, there is an ordinal $\kappa$ which does not inject into $P$. Transfinite recursion defines $x_{\alpha }=f(\{x_{\beta }:\beta <\alpha \})$ for all $\alpha <\kappa$: previous elements form a strictly increasing chain in a partially ordered set, including at limit ordinal stages. All $x_{\alpha }$ are distinct, giving the forbidden injection. This proves Zorn lemma; the choice of $f$ is the use of the axiom of choice.

Apply Zorn lemma to linearly independent subsets of $\mathbb{R}$ over $\mathbb{Q}$, ordered by inclusion. A union along a chain in a partially ordered set is linearly independent because each finite linear relation occurs in one member of that chain in a partially ordered set. A maximal independent set spans $\mathbb{R}$, since a vector outside its span could be adjoined. Thus $\mathbb{R}$ has a Hamel basis over $\mathbb{Q}$.

For a finite basis, the Steinitz exchange lemma proves equality of basis sizes. This also rules out an infinite basis when a finite spanning set exists: write each member of the finite spanning set using finitely many elements of another basis; their finite union spans, and independence leaves no other basis elements. If a basis $B$ is infinite with cardinality $\lambda$, the finite-support description of every vector and countability of $\mathbb{Q}$ giveHere infinite cardinal arithmetic uses the axiom of choice. Thus any infinite basis has cardinality $|V|$, proving all bases have the same cardinality. The zero space has its unique empty basis.

Conjugation by $P$ partitions $H$ into orbits. Each non-singleton orbit has size divisible by $p$, by the orbit-stabilizer theorem. The singleton orbits are exactly $H\cap Z(P)$. Since $|H|$ is divisible by $p$, $|H\cap Z(P)|\equiv 0(\mathrm{mod}p)$. This set contains $1$, so $\boxed{|H\cap Z(P)|\ge p}$.

For the deduction we also give the representation-theoretic ingredient behind Burnside's theorem: a nonabelian finite simple group has no nontrivial conjugacy class of prime power size. Here is a proof, so no stronger theorem is being assumed without justification. Suppose $g\ne 1$ has class size $p^b$. For an irreducible character $\chi$ of degree $d$ coprime to $p$, the class sum acts as the scalar $p^b\chi (g)/d$, which is an algebraic integer: the class sum has an integer-entry matrix in the regular representation, which contains every irreducible representation, so this scalar is an eigenvalue of an integer-entry matrix. Also $\chi (g)$ is an algebraic integer. Bezout's identity then makes $\chi (g)/d$ an algebraic integer. All its algebraic conjugates have modulus at most $1$, because character values of a representation are sums of $d$ roots of unity. An algebraic integer with this property is zero or a root of unity: the monic polynomials of all its powers have uniformly bounded integer coefficients, so two powers must coincide unless it is zero.

Every nontrivial irreducible representation of a simple group is faithful. If $\chi (g)/d$ were a root of unity, equality in the triangle inequality would force its representing matrix to be scalar, hence $g$ central, impossible. Thus $\chi (g)=0$ whenever $p\nmid d$, except for the trivial character of a representation. Orthogonality of the identity column and the $g$ column in the character table now givesThis would make $1/p$ an algebraic integer, contradicting the fact that rational algebraic integers are integers. The same proof covers class size $1$ directly through triviality of the center.

If an abelian subgroup $A$ had index $p^a$, every $g\in A\setminus \{1\}$ would have $A\subseteq C_G(g)$, making its class size a divisor of $p^a$, a contradiction. Such a $g$ exists: if $A=1$, then $G$ is a nontrivial p-group, whose center is nontrivial by the first argument with $H=P$. Therefore a nonabelian simple group has no abelian subgroup of prime power index.

Let $F,G$ be disjoint closed subsets of $K$. They are compact. For each $x\in F,y\in G$, the Hausdorff space condition gives disjoint open neighbourhoods $U_{xy},V_{xy}$. For fixed $x$, finitely many $V_{xy}$ cover $G$; intersect the corresponding $U_{xy}$ and take the union of those $V_{xy}$ to obtain disjoint open sets $U_x\ni x$ and $V_x\supset G$. Finitely many $U_x$ cover $F$. Their union and the intersection of the corresponding $V_x$ are disjoint open neighbourhoods of $F,G$. The case of an empty set is immediate. Hence $K$ is a normal topological space.

Urysohn lemma states that in a normal topological space satisfying $T_1$, disjoint closed sets $F,G$ admit a continuous function $h:K\to [0,1]$ with $h=0$ on $F$ and $h=1$ on $G$.

Let $F(y)=y_1^2{y}_2+y_2^2{y}_3+y_3^2{y}_1$. The proper transform isIndeed, in the blowup chart $y_i\ne 0$, write $x=ty$ with $y_i=1$. Homogeneity gives $F(x)=t^{3}F(y)$. Away from the exceptional divisor $t=0$, the equation is $F(y)=0$, and its closure retains that equation, removing the exceptional factor $t^3$. Every point with $t=0,F(y)=0$ is approached algebraically along the line $(ty,[y])$, so no component in this displayed set is extraneous.

For $x\ne 0$, the fibre is the single point $[y]=[x]$, and the projection is an isomorphism over $Y\setminus \{0\}$. Over $0$ the fibre is the projective plane cubic $F(y)=0$. In characteristic zero this cubic is smooth: a coordinate zero in the three derivative equations would force all coordinates zero; with all nonzero, multiplying $2y_1{y}_2=-y_3^2$, $y_1^2=-2y_2{y}_3$, $y_2^2=-2y_3{y}_1$ gives $1=-8$, impossible. Thus the exceptional fibre is a smooth genus-one plane cubic. The fibre description itself does not require this optional smoothness conclusion; characteristic $3$ requires separate treatment.

In a neutral Moran model, a population has $N$ labelled individuals; reproduction copies one individual's type to a uniformly chosen other individual, keeping population size fixed. One convenient time convention puts independent rate-$1/2$ Poisson arrows on each ordered pair of distinct individuals. Backwards in time, two sampled ancestral lineages merge whenever one copies the other, at total rate $1$ per unordered pair. In the convention where each individual reproduces at rate $1$, this pair rate is $2/(N-1)$ if the parent cannot replace itself, and time must be rescaled accordingly.

Kingman's coalescent on $n$ labels is the continuous-time Markov chain on partitions of $\{1,\dots ,n\}$, initially all singleton blocks, in which each pair of distinct blocks merges at rate $1$. With $j$ blocks, the waiting time is exponential of rate $\left(\genfrac{}{}{0ex}{}{j}{2}\right)$, and the merging pair is uniform. Kingman's infinite coalescent is the consistent partition process on $\mathbb{N}$ whose restriction to each finite label set has this law; consistency and the extension theorem construct it. These time conventions are part of the definition.

Let $B_t^{(n)}$ be the number of blocks in the first $n$ labels. The expected time to reach at most $m$ blocks isMarkov inequality gives $\mathbb{P}(B_t^{(n)}>m)\le 2/(mt)$. As $n$ increases these counts increase to the total number of infinite-coalescent blocks, so the same bound holds for that number. Letting $m\to \infty$ shows it is finite almost surely for each $t>0$. Apply this simultaneously to positive rational times; monotonicity of the block count then covers every positive real time. Hence Kingman's infinite coalescent comes down from infinity almost surely.

Liouville integrability on a $2n$-dimensional symplectic manifold means that there are $n$ functionally independent first integrals, including $H$, whose pairwise Poisson brackets vanish. Near a compact connected regular common level set, the Arnold-Liouville theorem gives action-angle variables $(J_i,{\theta }_i)$ with $J_i=(2\pi {)}^{-1}\oint pdq$, ${\theta }_i$ periodic modulo $2\pi$, $H=H(J)$, ${\dot{J}}_i=0$ and ${\dot{\theta }}_i=\partial H/\partial J_i$.

For a frozen mass, the turning point is $q_{\ast }=(2E{)}^{1/(2k)}$. The action variable isAdiabatic invariance of the action holds to leading order when the mass varies slowly compared with an orbital period, away from degenerating orbits. Keeping $J$ fixed givesFor $k=1$ this agrees with $E=\omega J$ and $\omega \propto m^{-1/2}$.

U+D. By absoluteness of infinitude between transitive models, two transitive models of ZFC agree on the natural numbers and therefore on whether a shared set is a finite set or an infinite set.

Let $a,p\in M[G]$, and suppose a first-order formula $\psi (x,y,p)$ defines exactly one $y$ for every $x\in a$. Apply the Lévy reflection theorem to the formulas needed to express this assertion, choosing an ordinal $\alpha$ with $a,p\in V_{\alpha }^{M[G]}$ such thatfor every $x\in a$. Therefore every required value lies in the set $V_{\alpha }^{M[G]}$.

The already established axiom schema of separation forms the setFunctionality makes $b$ exactly the range of the definable function on $a$. This proves every instance of the Axiom schema of replacement in the generic extension $M[G]$.

Suppose nontrivial groups $G_1,G_2$ act on a set and there are disjoint nonempty subsets $X_1,X_2$ such that every nonidentity element of $G_1$ maps $X_2$ into $X_1$, while every nonidentity element of $G_2$ maps $X_1$ into $X_2$. Assume at least one factor has at least three elements. Then the subgroup generated by $G_1$ and $G_2$ is their free product. The cardinality hypothesis excludes the counterexample in which $G_1=G_2=C_2$ acts by swapping $X_1$ and $X_2$. Versions allowing both factors to have order two need an additional separation hypothesis.
