On the weak derivative of $|u|^{(p-2)/2}u$
Let $u$ be a function such that $|u|^{(p-2)/2}u$ is in $H^1_0(G)$, $G$ is open and $p>2$. How can I show that $$ D(|u|^{(p-2)/2}u)=p/2|u|^{(p-2)/2}D(u) \label{1}\tag{1} $$ or how can I show that, ...

The property of the dense subfilter of a selective ultrafilter
Let us define the density of subset $A\subset\omega$ : $$\rho(A)=\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{|A\cap n|}{n}$$ if the limit exists. Let $\mathcal{F_1}=\{A\subset\omega~|~\rho(A)=1\}$. $\mathcal{F_1}$ is the ...

Status of the conjectured vanishing of Bloch-Kato H^2
There is a folklore conjecture that $\operatorname{Ext}^2$ vanishes in the category of geometric $p$-adic Galois representations (i.e. representations that are unramified almost everywhere and de Rham ...

Can infinite bounded distibutive lattices be "arbitrarily wide"?
I was always thinking, in an informal way, that the powerset lattices ${\cal P}(X)$ (where $X$ is an infinite set) are the "widest" bounded distributive lattices with respect to their height. (In ${\...

if 0→A→A⊕B→B→0 is an exact sequence of finitely generated modules over a commutative Noetherian ring, then the exact sequence does split [duplicate]
Here, Martin Brandenburg says it is not true that "Every short exact sequence of the form $0 \to A \to A \oplus B \to B \to 0$ splits." Then Mohan says in comments that "As a positive result, If $0 ...

Björner-Wachs theorem for posets admitting an EL-labeling
In the survey paper Poset Topology: Tools and Applications by Michelle Wachs, there is the following theorem on p46: Theorem 3.2.4 (Björner and Wachs [40]). Suppose $P$ is a poset for which $\...

Is there an orbit map without path lifting property?
I am looking for an example of a topological group $G$ acting by homeomorphisms on a metrizable space $X$ such that the orbit map $X\to X/G$ doesn't have the path lifting property, that is, there is a ...
