Q&A for professional mathematicians
-
Let $A$ be a $C^*$-algebra and $(a_{ij}) \in M_n(A)$ be a positive matrix. Does there exist a constant $C \ge 0$ (not depending on the $a_{ij}$) such that $$\lVert(a_{ij})\rVert \le C \Bigl\lVert\s...

Average Distance Between Two Random Points in a N dimensional Hypersphere
In the paper linked here, I used monte carlo simulations to measure that the average distance between two random points in a hypersphere converges to Sqrt[N]/e for larger N. Can this be confirmed? Is this finding already known?

Conservative functor counterexample
Prove that the functor $J\rightarrow S(|J|)$ is conservative but does not satisfy the RLP with respect to $\Delta^1\rightarrow J$ where $J$ is the walking isomorphism. Well-known fact: $|J|$ is the infinity sphere $S^{\infty}$.
It is obvious that the functor $J\rightarrow S(|J|)$ is conservative because $J$ and $S(|J|)$ are both Kan complexes. To understand the absence of RLP we should consider the diagram... -

Status of the classification of topological complexity for 3-manifolds
The Lusternik-Schnirelmann category of closed 3-manifolds is fully determined by their fundamental group (Gómez-Larrañaga & González-Acuña). In dimension 2, topological complexity is also fully classified for closed surfaces.
Therefore, I wonder if there exists a complete classification for the topological complexity of closed 3-manifolds. I presume not, since topological complexity is usually significantly harder to compute....
