What is generalization in math? What does the symbol ^ mean in mathematical expressions and functions? What comes after decillion in math? What is hemisphere in maths? What does ^ stand for in math? What does an apostrophe mean in math?

In this short note I would like to use the mean ergodic theorem to show that ergodic systems also have the property that “somewhat locally constant” functions are necessarily “somewhat globally constant”; this is not a deep observation, and probably already in the literature, but I found ...
While the ball does indeed bounce an infinite number of times, with the bounces getting smaller and smaller in height, that doesn’t mean it keeps bouncing forever. The bounces get smaller and smaller not only in height, but also in duration, and the sum of their durations converges to a...
This page at screwloose.com.au explained more advanced use of bcdboot, in which it’s possible to tell the tool where the Windows installation lives, and where the System partition which holds the boot information is. I had to rummage round with diskpart to find the right drive letters, ...

"Much later, when I discussed the problem with Einstein, he remarked that the introduction of the cosmological term was the biggest blunder he ever made in his life. But this “blunder,” rejected by Einstein, is still sometimes used by cosmologists even
(MathOverflow users with enough privileges to see deleted answers will find that there are no less than seventeen deleted attempts at a proof in response to this question!) On the other hand, the one surviving response to the question does point out this paper of Poonen which shows that ...
Needless to say, this program turns out to be far more difficult than the above summary suggests, and the actual proof of the CFSG does not quite proceed along these lines. However, a significant portion of the argument is based on a generalisation of this strategy, in which the concept ...
Theorem 1 resembles other theorems in density Ramsey theory, such as Szemerédi’s theorem, but with the notable difference that the pattern located in the dense set is infinite rather than merely arbitrarily large but finite. As such, it does not seem that this theorem can be proven by purel...
