Abstract:

We present a new proof of Banaschewski's theorem stating that the completion lift of a uniform surjection is a surjection. The new procedure allows to extend the fact (and, similarly, the related theorem on closed uniform sublocales of complete uniform frames) to quasi-uniformities ("not necessarily symmetric uniformities"). Further, we show how a (regular) Cauchy point on a closed uniform sublocale can be extended to a (regular) Cauchy point on the larger (quasi-)uniform frame.

Another Proof of Clairaut's Theorem

This note gives an alternate proof of Clairaut’s theorem—that the partial derivatives of a smooth function commute—using the Stone–Weierstrass theorem. Most calculus students have probably encountered Clairaut’s theorem. Theorem. Suppose that f : [a, b] × [c, d] → R has continuous second-order partial derivatives. Then fxy = fyx on (a, b)× (c, d). The proof found in many calculus textbooks (e.g...

Another proof of Soittola's theorem

Soittola’s theorem characterizes R+or N-rational formal power series in one variable among the rational formal power series with nonnegative coefficients. We present here a new proof of the theorem based on Soittola’s and Perrin’s proofs together with some new ideas that allows us to separate algebraic and analytic arguments. c © 2008 Elsevier B.V.

Another Proof of a Freĭman-type Theorem

We provide a new proof of a Frĕıman-type theorem. Specifically, suppose that G is a locally compact abelian group with a Haar measure μG. The δ-ball Bδ of a translation invariant metric is called d-dimensional if μG(B2δ′ ) 6 2 dμG(Bδ′ ) for all δ ′ ∈ (0, δ]. We show that if A is a compact neighborhood with μG(nA) 6 n μG(A) for all n > d log d, then A is contained in a O(d log d)-dimensional bal...

Yet Another Proof of Cantor’s Theorem

We present various proofs of Cantor’s theorem in set theory: namely that the cardinality of the power set of a set X exceeds the cardinality of X, and in particular the continuum is uncountable. One of the proofs we present is inspired by Yablo’s non-self-referential Liar’s paradox, and it seems to bear a dual relationship to yet another proof.

Yet Another Proof of Marstrand’s Theorem

through the origin containing vθ and projθ : R 2 → Lθ the orthogonal projection. From now on, we’ll restrict θ to the interval [−π/2, π/2], because Lθ = Lθ+π. In 1954, J. M. Marstrand [10] proved the following result on the fractal dimension of plane sets. Theorem 1.1. If K ⊂ R is a Borel set such that HD(K) > 1, then m(projθ(K)) > 0 for m-almost every θ ∈ R. The proof is based on a qualitative...

Another Proof of the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra

Theorem 1 (Fundamental Theorem of Algebra). Every non-constant polynomial with complex coefficients has a root in C. This is the strategy of the proof. Let Xn ' C be the space of degree n monic polynomials with complex coefficients, via the identification (a1, ..., an) 7→ z + ∑n i=1 aiz . Let D ⊂ Xn be the zero locus of the discriminant, and let R ⊂ Xn \ D be the set of polynomials with non-zer...
