    lower bound for $\| x^{1/2}\|$? --reference request

    Let $\| z\|$ denote the distance from $z$ to the closest integer.I am looking for a reference for a lower bound for$$\min_{ B < x < 2B, x \neq \square} \| x^{1/2}\| $$for $B \gg 1$. I assume a lower bound for something like this is available...

    Genericity of the set of Riemannian metrics with discrete critical set of Rieman...

    Let $M$ be a smooth (Hausdorff, paracompact) and connected $n$-dimensional manifold, $n\in\mathbb{N}$. Given $p\in M$ and $g$ a smooth Riemannian metric on $M$, let $V^g_p\! M\subset T_pM$ be the maximal domain of the exponential map $\exp^g_p$ around...

    Set-theoretic solutions to the Yang-Baxter equations and racks

    A (finite) set-theoretic solution to the Yang-Baxter equation is a finite set $X$ with a bijection $r\colon X \times X \to X\times X$ such that $(id \times r)(r\times id)(id \times r)=(r\times id)(id \times r)(r\times id)$.
    From $X$ a set-theoretic solution to the Yang-Baxter equation, we obtain an action of the Braid group $B_n$ on $n$ strands on $X^n$, where the $i$'th strand acts by $r$ on the $i$th and $i+1$st factors....

    Examples of cocomplete categories without equalizers

    What are some examples of cocomplete categories without equalizers? And what are some examples of cocomplete categories without binary products?
    They must exist, but at the moment I don't know any. There are no such categories in CatDat so far (Link), and I would like to change that. Of course, you may also list examples of complete categories without coequalizers (resp., binary coproducts)....
