    Updated: 2012-07-21 20:25:34
    I’m almost embarrassed to say it – in view of the terrible massacre in Aurora, Colorado – but my week was pretty good. I returned to work, but the week off before this let me make good progress on mathematics. The next technical post will be the regression post that I was struggling with before [...]

  • Integral Domains and the failure of unique factorization

    Updated: 2012-07-17 01:10:35
    Introduction Recall the Venn diagram illustrating special kinds of integral domains. I want to look at integral domains in general, but integral domains that are not unique factorization domains (UFDs) in particular. I’m interested in the outer ring of that diagram. That is, I’m interested in factoring numbers in integral domains… so we have to [...]

    I can’t believe I completely forgot to put out a diary post yesterday. I can, however, understand it. I was off work all week, on vacation but staying home. I knew that yesterday was Saturday, but my schedule had been so different during the week… without thinking about it, I guess I extended my vacation [...]

  • Topological clustering

    Updated: 2012-07-13 21:50:57
    In the last post in my continuing series on the topology of large data sets, I discussed the problem of clustering and promised that we would finally get to some low dimensional, geometric topology. (I wrote about persistent homology a few posts back, but this approach comes out of K-theory, which is anything but low [...]

  • Symmetric decompositions of the 4-sphere

    Updated: 2012-07-12 22:43:32
    Rob Kusner recently pointed out to me that the 4-sphere has a very natural differential-geometric decomposition as a double mapping cylinder S^3/Q_8 –> RP^2. Here Q_8 is the group {\pm 1, \pm i, \pm j, \pm k} in the unit quaternions and RP^2 is the real projective plane. Another way to say this is take [...]

  • RAAGs over Riches

    Updated: 2012-07-12 09:01:09
    Cubulation and the proof of the VHC/VFC have been featured prominently on this blog, and quite rightly so. It constitutes a major advance in low dimensional topology, and the proof itself is such a happy story. Thurston’s prophetic unexpected 1982 conjectures of how nice the fundamental group of a hyperbolic 3-manifold must be all proved [...]

    Some things on binary operations: Can we find a set with a binary operation where the binary operation is not associative, there is an identity, and all elements have an inverse? Also can we find a set with a binary operation and an identity where at least one element has at least 2 inverses? What about a set with a binary operation that has two different identities? Please no hints, just solutions- I am using these for a more complex problem I am doing.
