Are there any lines on an Abelian surface?
I'm working in the category of schemes over $\mathbb C$ or algebraic varieties over the same. Here by line I mean any curve isomorphic to $\mathbb P^1$, of any degree; i.e. the twisted cubic is a line....

Creative Alternatives to Vieta's formulas/Newton's identities
Vieta's formulas are well known. $$\sum _{1\leq i_{1}<i_{2}<\cdots <i_{k}\leq n}\left(\prod _{j=1}^{k}r_{i_{j}}\right)=(-1)^{k}{\frac {a_{n-k}}{a_{n}}}$$ For example, the sum of the roots of ...

Prove $B_{2k+1}(1/4) = \frac{-(2k+1) E_{2k}}{4^{2k+1}}$
Question. Is there a simpler way to prove $$B_{2k+1}(1/4) = \frac{-(2k+1) E_{2k}}{4^{2k+1}}$$ where $B_n(x)$ is the $n$-th Bernoulli polynomial and $E_n$ is the $n$-th Euler number? I have verified ...

Reference request: Kadec-Klee property for $\ell^1$
I am looking for references (textbooks or articles) where it is shown that the Banach space $\ell^1$ has the Kadec–Klee property, i.e. that the weak topology and the norm topology coincide on the unit ...

Reference request on Sobolev inequality on compact manifolds.
What is a reference of the fact that on connected, positively curved, compact Riemannian manifolds (such as the sphere) $M$ with dimension $d$, the following inequality $$\|f\|_{L^\infty(M)} \lesssim \...

Literature on Differential Forms of finite extensions of smooth $k$-algebras
Given a finitely generated smooth $k$-algebra $A$ (the case where $A=k[X_1,...,X_n]$, or a localization of this, is the one I am actually interested in) and a finite extension $B$ of $A$, I am ...

Reference request for some sums
I have been looking at sums with binomial coefficients in their denominator. These are extensions of Apery's series, which he used in his proof of the irrationality of $\zeta(3)$. This weekend I ...

Vector bundles with equivalent sphere bundles
Suppose that $E_0, E_1 \rightarrow M$ are two $k$-dimensional vector bundles over a manifold $M$ classified by maps $\phi_0, \phi_1: M \rightarrow BGL(k)$. If $\phi_0, \phi_1$ are homotopic, then $E_0,...

Reference request: a particular generalization of the Collatz problem
This is a reference request; is this particular generalization of the $3\cdot n+1$ problem discussed in literature? What is known about it? Do any specific choices of $m$, $a_i$ lead to nontrivial yet ...

Reference for the formula for conformal change of sectional curvature
Let $(M, \tilde{g})$ be a Riemannian manifold and let $g:=e^{2u}\tilde{g}$ be a conformal change. I'm trying to find a resource (ideally a book, or a paper where it's mentioned or derived) for the ...
