Re: minimum height of a 0-1 simplex

henne...@web.cs.ndsu.nodak.edu (Mike) — Tue, 09 mar 2010 18:12:37 UT

Excellent news. Thanks much.
I'm having trouble following the proof, though.
I'll get back to it when I'm not supposed to be working.
The crucial point that I didn't think of.
Once I can prove that both ends of the height-defining segment are in
n-cube,
the rest is easy.

Re: Do free abelian groups embed into connected semisimple complex lie groups?

Any such Lie group contains a complex torus isomorphic to C^*.
This group contains a subgroup isomorphic to the additive group R
of reals. Now let n be a natural number and choose v_1,...,v_n in R
which are linearly independent over Q.
Then the group Z v_1 + ... + Z v_n is free abelian of rank n and

Re: minimum height of a 0-1 simplex

corbenn...@googlemail.com (Corbennick) — Tue, 09 mar 2010 16:26:40 UT

The lower bound is 1/sqrt(n).
Proof as follows. Let e_1,...,e_n be the standard basis of R^n.
Let s be a simplex of dimension n in R^n.
The minimal height is taken at a vertex v_1 which lies opposite to a
face F of maximal area.
(This is so since the volume of the simplex is height times area(F)
times dimension factor.)

minimum height of a 0-1 simplex

What is the minimum height of a full dimensional n-simplex whose
vertices are members {0, 1}**n ?
Equivalently, what is the minimum non-zero distance to the origin from
a hyperplane defined by members of {0, 1}**n ?
The answer is at most 1/sqrt(n) .
The corner simplex provides an example.
A smaller answer might be possible if the simplex is oblique enough

You have provided a proof that the delta function
is not continuous on L^2. To prove it _is_ continuous
on S, you have to use the topology on S, which is
provided by the fammily of seminorms || f ||_{n,m},
n >= 0, where || f ||_{n,m} is defined to be

So, you refer to ||f||_S , but what is that? Of course, to determine
whether some function is continuous on S we need to know what is the
topology on S. In fact, this topology is not given by a norm.

delta function as a continuous linear map?

mahdia...@yahoo.com (mahdiarnt) — Wed, 03 mar 2010 06:12:35 UT

Hi
I've come across a claim that has made me confused. In
[link] (which is for people like me)
it's claimed on page 17 that the delta function defined on functions
of Schwartz space S as
delta: S -> R, delta_{x_0} f = f(x_0)
is continuous. I think it's true, as implicitly mentioned there as

Question:
Let A be a connected semisimiple complex lie group. Is it true that
any free abelian group G of finite rank can be embedded in A?
I know that it is the case that any free groups of finite rank can be
embedded into any connected complex semisimple lie group.
Do we have to make any assumptions about the dimension of A for the

D'oh! and sincere regrets at errors due to haste in posting.
Long and thin rectangles show that both (i) and (ii) are incorrect.
Although it is possible to avoid that case by restricting the minimal
width of X it is probably best to consider case (iii) only.
