For an irreducible algebraic variety $X$ and $p\in X$, the local ring ${\mathcal{O}}_{X,p}$ consists of germs of rational functions regular on a neighbourhood of $p$. If $X\subseteq {\mathbb{A}}^n$ has ideal $I(X)$, its Zariski tangent space is

The given variety is the blowup of the affine plane at the origin. On the chart $W\ne 0$, put $W=1$; then $Y=XZ$, so $(X,Z)$ are free affine coordinates. On the chart $Z\ne 0$, put $Z=1$; then $X=WY$, so $(W,Y)$ are free affine coordinates. These two smooth affine-plane charts cover $V$, hence every point of $V$ is smooth.

If $(X,Y)\ne (0,0)$, the equation forcesConsequently $\pi$ restricts to an isomorphism away from the origin, and is therefore birational. Above the origin, however,so $\pi$ is not injective and cannot be an isomorphism of algebraic varieties. Birationality gives

For any morphism $\phi :V\to V^{\prime }$ with $V^{\prime }$ affine, its restriction to the exceptional curve $E\cong {\mathbb{P}}^1$ is constant: every regular function on a projective line is constant, and the affine coordinate functions of $V^{\prime }$ therefore have constant pullbacks. Since $E$ has more than one point, $\phi$ is not injective. If $V$ itself were affine, its identity morphism would contradict this conclusion, so $V$ is not affine.

Over $\mathbb{C}$, $V$ is not compact in the Euclidean topology: the sequence $(n,0,[1:0])$ has no convergent subsequence. Every complex projective variety is Euclidean compact. Since compactness is preserved by homeomorphisms, $V$ cannot be homeomorphic to a projective variety.

The Lebesgue differentiation theorem states that if $f\in L_{\mathrm{loc}}^1({\mathbb{R}}^n)$, thenfor Lebesgue almost every $x$. The Radon-Nikodym theorem states that if two sigma-finite measures satisfy $\nu \ll \mu$, then there is a nonnegative measurable function $h=d\nu /d\mu$, unique $\mu$-almost everywhere, such that $\nu (E)={\int }_{E}hd\mu$.

For any $t\in [0,1]$, take $z=0$ and let $B$ be a planar sector of angle $2\pi t$. Every disc centred at the origin meets this sector in the proportionso its measure density at $0$ is $t$.

Apply the differentiation theorem to the indicator function $1_A$. Its averages over balls are exactly ${\rho }_{\lambda ,A}(x)$, so the Lebesgue density theorem givesalmost everywhere. If $\lambda (A)=0$, every numerator vanishes, so the density is zero wherever its denominator is nonzero. Conversely, if the density vanishes almost everywhere, the displayed identity gives $1_A=0$ almost everywhere, hence $\lambda (A)=0$.

Finally suppose $\nu$ and $\lambda$ are mutually absolutely continuous measures. Write $d\nu =hd\lambda$. Then $0<h(x)<\infty$ almost everywhere by the positive Radon-Nikodym derivative result. At almost every $x$, the differentiation theorem applied to both $h$ and $h{1}_A$ givesThus the $\nu$-density also exists and belongs to $\{0,1\}$ at $\lambda$-almost every point.

Chain maps $f,g:C_{\ast }\to C_{\ast }^{\prime }$ are chain homotopic when maps $h_n:C_n\to C_{n+1}^{\prime }$ satisfyFor a cycle $z$, $f(z)-g(z)=\partial h(z)$ is a boundary, so $f_{\ast }=g_{\ast }$ on homology.

Fix a vertex $e_0$ of ${\Delta }^n$ and define the cone operator by adjoining $e_0$ to an oriented simplex, with zero when it is already present. The simplicial boundary formula giveson the reduced chain complex. Thus its identity is null-homotopic andfor every $k$; equivalently, $H_0({\Delta }^n)\cong \mathbb{Z}$ and higher homology vanishes.

For the 2-skeleton $K$ of ${\Delta }^6$,It is connected and simply connected, so $H_0\cong \mathbb{Z}$ and $H_1=0$. Euler characteristic then givesFor $\sigma =(0123)(456)$, no vertex or edge is fixed. The only invariant 2-simplex is $[456]$, on which the 3-cycle preserves orientation, so the chain traces are $0,0,1$. The Lefschetz trace formula givestherefore

If $m$ and $n$ are coprime, every divisor of $mn$ is uniquely $ab$ with $a\mid m$ and $b\mid n$. Hence, for a multiplicative arithmetic function $f$,

The Möbius function is $\mu (n)=0$ if a prime square divides $n$, and $\mu (n)=(-1{)}^r$ if $n$ is a product of $r$ distinct primes. The Euler totient function $\varphi (n)$ counts residues modulo $n$ coprime to $n$. From the prime factorizations,Both sides of the second identity are multiplicative, and at a prime power $p^a$,Therefore

Maschke's theorem says that every invariant subspace of a finite-dimensional complex representation of a finite group has an invariant complement. Average any projection over the group to make it equivariant. Induction on dimension therefore decomposes every representation into irreducibles.

The character of a representation is ${\chi }_V(g)=\mathrm{tr}(g{|}_V)$. For a $G$-set $X$, the permutation representation $\mathbb{C}X$ has basis $X$, and its character is the number of fixed points:For the regular action,The multiplicity of an irreducible $V_i$ is the character inner productso

If $V\cong {⨁}_i{n}_i{V}_i$, Schur lemma givesFor $V=\mathbb{C}G$, this is ${\sum }_i(\dim V_i{)}^2=|G|$.

Now suppose $\chi (g)=0$ off the identity. The multiplicity of $V_i$ in $V$ isThus $\dim V/|G|$ is a nonnegative integer and $V$ is that many copies of the regular representation. Finally,so
