A Probabilistic Proof of the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra

چکیده
We use Lévy’s theorem on invariance of planar Brownian motion under conformal maps and the support theorem for Brownian motion to show that the range of a non-constant polynomial of a complex variable consists of the whole complex plane. In particular, we obtain a probabilistic proof of the fundamental theorem of algebra.

A simple proof of Zariski's Lemma
Our aim in this very short note is to show that the proof of the following well-known fundamental lemma of Zariski follows from an argument similar to the proof of the fact that the rational field $mathbb{Q}$ is not a finitely generated $mathbb{Z}$-algebra.
متن کاملOn the norm of the derived subgroups of all subgroups of a finite group
In this paper, we give a complete proof of Theorem 4.1(ii) and a new elementary proof of Theorem 4.1(i) in [Li and Shen, On the intersection of the normalizers of the derived subgroups of all subgroups of a finite group, J. Algebra, 323 (2010) 1349--1357]. In addition, we also give a generalization of Baer's Theorem.
متن کاملA new proof for the Banach-Zarecki theorem: A light on integrability and continuity
To demonstrate more visibly the close relation between thecontinuity and integrability, a new proof for the Banach-Zareckitheorem is presented on the basis of the Radon-Nikodym theoremwhich emphasizes on measure-type properties of the Lebesgueintegral. The Banach-Zarecki theorem says that a real-valuedfunction $F$ is absolutely continuous on a finite closed intervalif and only if it is continuo...
متن کاملDiagonal arguments and fixed points
A universal schema for diagonalization was popularized by N.S. Yanofsky (2003), based on a pioneering work of F.W. Lawvere (1969), in which the existence of a (diagonolized-out and contradictory) object implies the existence of a fixed-point for a certain function. It was shown that many self-referential paradoxes and diagonally proved theorems can fit in that schema. Here, we fi...
متن کاملCompleteness in Probabilistic Metric Spaces
The idea of probabilistic metric space was introduced by Menger and he showed that probabilistic metric spaces are generalizations of metric spaces. Thus, in this paper, we prove some of the important features and theorems and conclusions that are found in metric spaces. At the beginning of this paper, the distance distribution functions are proposed. These functions are essential in defining p...
