| | This post is mainly devoted to a probabilistic proof of a famous theorem due to Schoenberg on radial positive definite functions. Let us begin with a general notion: we say that \( {K:\mathbb{R}^d\times\mathbb{R}^d\rightarrow\mathbb{R}} \) is a positive definite kernel when \[ \forall n\geq1, \forall x_1,\ldots,x_n\in\mathbb{R}^d, \forall c\in\mathbb{C}^n, \quad\sum_{i=1}^n\sum_{j=1}^nc_iK(x_i,x_j)\bar{c}_j\geq0. \] When \( {K} \) is symmetric, i.e. \( {K(x,y)=K(y,x)} \) for...

| | Topology Quasi-polynomial algorithms for telling if a knot is trivial Marc Lackenby announced a quasi-polynomial time algorithm to decide whether a given knot is the unknot! This is a big breakthrough. This question is known to be both in NP and in coNP. See this post, and updates there in the comment section. Topology seminar,...

| | In this post we'll describe the representation theory of theadditive group scheme$latex \mathbb{G}_a$ over a field $latex k$. The answer turns out to depend dramatically on whether or not $latex k$ has characteristic zero. Preliminaries over an arbitrary ring (All rings and algebras are commutative unless otherwise stated.) The additive group scheme $latex \mathbb{G}_a$ over...
