Hey! :o Let $q$ be a power of a prime and $n\in \mathbb{N}$. We symbolize with $Tr$ the map of the trace from $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ to $\mathbb{F}_q$, i.e. $Tr:\mathbb{F}_{q^n}\rightarrow \mathbb{F}_q$, $\displaystyle{Tr(a)=\sum_{j=0}^{n-1}a^{q^j}}$. I want to calculate the dimension of the image...

Hello, I am working on a map generator for a game called Dominions. I plan to make it open source once it's functional. Maps in this game typically wrap vertically and horizontally, so the generator must create maps that seamlessly wrap on the X and Y axis. Typically (for even player counts)...

I have a python code where it generates two 1D arrays, plots them using scatter plot and then draws colorbar using normalization range. How can I find individual values at those individual pixel points? HC = data["HC"] OC = data["OC"] sample = y widthmm, heightmm = 171, 233 ratio =...

Hello! (Wave) Let linear map $f: \mathbb{R}^3 \to \mathbb{R}^2$, $B$ basis (unknown) of $\mathbb{R}^3$ and $c=[(1,2),(3,4)]$ basis of $\mathbb{R}^2$. We are given the information that $cf_s=\begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 & 1\\ 2 & 1 & 0 \end{pmatrix}$. Let $v \in \mathbb{R}^3$, of which the coordinates...

Alright, so this might be a stupid question, but nevertheless, I ask. I am to consider whether the quadratic form ## P(x,y) = a x + b y + d xy ## can map the integers onto the integers. So through a change of basis, I re-express this as ## P'(u,v) = Au^2 + Bv^2 ## for rational A and B...

I’ve read about the exponential map that for Lie groups the exponential map is actually the exponential function. But the exponential map is based on the geodesic ODE, so you need Christoffel symbols and thus the metric. But usually nobody gives you a metric with a Lie group. So how can I get...

Would there be a way to take a uv map and compute the 2 dimensional position of a viewing plane or eye or camera, without the need to expand the parametric equation into three dimensions? In the above video the uv map in the background yellow is calculated first. Then only the bright portions...

I want a way to map natural numbers to possible values of set A. It would also be helpful if you could tell me how many possible values are for set A(it depends of k). All that is known about set A is: Non of set A elements is subset to another element of A, but all elements of set A are proper...

Using the now-complete Cassini data set, astronomers have created a new global topographic map of Saturn's moon Titan that has opened new windows into understanding its liquid flows and terrain. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/01/180106190439.htm I found this fascinating I hope others do.

Hello, I would like your help understanding how to map a region of the space \mathbb{C}^2 spanned by two complex conjugate variables to the real plane \mathbb{R}^2 . Specifically, let us think that we have two complex conugate variables z and \bar{ z} and we define a triangle in the...

Suppose ##q: E-->X## is a covering map (not necessarily normal). Let ##E' = E/ Aut_{q}(E)## be the orbit space, and let ##\pi: E-->E'## be the quotient map. Then there is a covering map ##q': E' --->X## such that ##q' * \pi = q## where ##*## is composition of functions. I am confused why ##E'##...

Suppose that L: ##S^1## ---> ##R## is a lift of the identity map of ##S^1##, where e is the covering map from ##R## to ##S^1##, where ##R## is the real numbers and ##S^1## is the circle. Then the equation e * L = ##Id_{S^1}## (where * is composition) means that 2*pi*L is a continuous choice of...

I am taking my first graduate math course and I am not really familiar with the thought process. My professor told us to think about how to prove that the differential map (pushforward) is well-defined. The map $$f:M\rightarrow N$$ is a smooth map, where ##M, N## are two smooth manifolds. If...

Hi All, I am trying to see if there is a "nice" ( relatively straightforward) way of finding the solution/kernel of the map : ##f(A)=A^n -Id ## , where A is an ## k \times k ## matrix and ##n## is a positive integer. Question: what is the kernel of this map? Cranking out matrix coefficients...

Hello Everyone, This is my first post, and I don't have any formal background in cosmology. I'm in the middle of reading a book called 'The Exploration of Outer Space' by Sir Bernard Lovell and I find myself falling in love with this topic! I have a question that has gnawed at my head for a...

If ##M^{2} \subset \mathbb{R}^{3}## is a surface with given normal field, we define the Gauss (normal) map $$n:M^{2} \rightarrow \text{unit sphere}\ S^{2}$$ by $$n(p) = \textbf{N}(p), \qquad \text{the unit normal to $M$ at $p$}.$$...

Hello, I'm a sci-fi author and need to plot a course with distances and galaxy (cluster and super cluster) stop overs between the Coma Wall, Earth and the Great Attractor. I've looked at a few online 3D universe maps and 2D maps but have not found anything ideal. Any suggestions? Thanks so...

There are links in the article to more science-oriented reports. http://www.csmonitor.com/Science/2016/0715/Scientists-create-huge-3-D-map-of-universe-validating-Einstein-s-theories That would be a great use for some of those Virtual Reality goggles.

Consider the following map ##f## that maps an annulus to a larger annulus: ##f: (r, \theta)\to(r+1, \theta)##. ##f## maps the annulus in the region ##1\leq r\leq2## to the annulus in the region ##2\leq r\leq3##. Clearly, the area is not preserved. Next, is the converse true? That is, must an...

Hi all, this might be a silly question, but I was curious. In Carroll's book, the author says that, in a manifold M , for any vector k in the tangent space T_p at a point p\in M , we can find a path x^{\mu}(\lambda) that passes through p which corresponds to the geodesic for that...

I need a reminder. What numbers or functions characterize a map from one manifold to another? More specifically, is there a continuous function that goes from one manifold to another to another to another is some parameterized way? What is that called? I'm thinking of a manifold of spacetime...

I remember this forum from years back as a good place to ask speculative science questions, so I figured I'd give you guys first dibs. Sorry if I put this thread in the wrong place. I'm doing some fantasy world-building, and I'm curious as to what the Great Lakes would look like at various...
