Perfect obstruction theory

In algebraic geometry, given a Deligne–Mumford stack X, a perfect obstruction theory for X consists of: 1. * a perfect two-term complex in the derived category of quasi-coherent étale sheaves on X, and 2. * a morphism , where is the cotangent complex of X, that induces an isomorphism on and an epimorphism on . The notion was introduced by Kai Behrend and Barbara Fantechi for an application to the intersection theory on moduli stacks; in particular, to define a virtual fundamental class. (Wikipedia).

Approximating Functions in a Metric Space

Approximations are common in many areas of mathematics from Taylor series to machine learning. In this video, we will define what is meant by a best approximation and prove that a best approximation exists in a metric space. Chapters 0:00 - Examples of Approximation 0:46 - Best Aproximati

We will introduce the notion of perfectoid spaces. The theory can be seen as a kind of rigid geometry of infinite type, and the most important feature is that the theories over (deeply ramified extensions of) Q_p and over F_p((t)) are equivalent, generalizing to the relative situation a th

Convex Norms and Unique Best Approximations

In this video, we explore what it means for a norm to be convex. In particular we will look at how convex norms lead to unique best approximations. For example, for any continuous function there will be a unique polynomial which gives the best approximation over a given interval. Chapte
