Talk:Expander graph

message: The final paras here hang by a very tenuous thread from the rest.

replies: text: If M is the adjacency matrix, and A is the admittance/Laplacian matrix, then every eigenvalue λ of M corresponds to an eigenvalue (d-λ) of A, where d is the degree, so they are essentially equivalent concepts. There are also some bounds related to expanders that are expressed not in terms of the 2nd eigenvalue \lambda_2, but in terms of the 2nd largest eigenvalue magnitude, i.e, \max\{\lambda_2,|\lambda_n|\} (\lambda_1 is always d, and is always the largest) Blokhead 03:25, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

message: I suppose that d = log | V | or d = log | E | is meant. G itself is (V, E) and does not even have a cardinal.
Same for the other suggestion for the degree that follows : d = | G |O(1).
Also, the degree is an integer and the logarithm is likely not an integer. So I doubt that's even an equal sign that is meant.
I hope this helps. --MathsPoetry (talk) 14:13, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

message: * If the graph is finite and connected, then 0 occurs with multiplicity 1 as only constant functions are harmonic, so in this case there does not seem to be any problem with (5).

message: The only entry in Bosnian not here is Bosnian language, so I think it should be merged here.

thread_title: Merging [[Bosnian]]

message: Earlier today, Biblbroks redirected Bosnia to Bosnia (disambiguation) with the following comment: "redirect to dab page : Bosnia (disambiguation) - as strange as it may appear, there is no primary topic (see the discussion page)".  I've looked at this discussion page as well as Talk:Bosnia and Herzegovina and Talk:Bosnia (disambiguation), and don't see any real discussion of whether the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC standard is satisfied.  To summarize -- the fact that a title is ambiguous (as "Bosnia" clearly is) does not determine whether or not it has a primary topic.  In fact, only ambiguous titles can have primary topics.  The question is whether one of the topics on the disambiguation page "is highly likely – much more likely than any other, and more likely than all the others combined – to be the subject being sought when a reader enters that term in the Search box."  Based on usage in newspapers, web sites, and other sources, I think it is highly likely that a reader who searches for "Bosnia" is searching for the contemporary state of Bosnia and Herzegovina, not for one of the other meanings. A reader who was searching specifically for information about the Federation of B and H, for example, would probably know that this is an entity different than the sovereign state, and would at least use the word "Federation" in the search.  Likewise, a reader looking specifically for one of the predecessor entities would most likely use some search term specific to that entity.  Comments? --R'n'B (call me Russ) 19:36, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I have reverted to the primary topic redirect, as the most recent stable version. Since a change from that primary topic has proved controversial (and would result in a malplaced disambiguation page if redirected to the dab page), a move request should be initiated if the suggestion is to remove the primary topic (moving Bosnia (disambiguation) to here). -- JHunterJ (talk) 19:53, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Poincaré–Birkhoff–Witt theorem

message: Isn't the proof idea at the end misleading without additional comment? 
* The point there is a unique reduction is missing;
* The fact that there is a reduction at all is not at all clear by applying the structure equations. One needs something like induction on the degree of the canonical monomial; thus 
::  A u v B = A v u B + \sum_z c_{u v z} A z B \quad 
where the suummands 
:  \sum_z c_{u v z} A z B \quad 
have lower degree and thus are reducible by the induction hypothesis.
Including this on the other hand seems overkill.CSTAR 23:14, 6 Sep 2004 (UTC)

message: quote: More generally, the PBW theorem as formulated above extends to cases such as where (1) L is a flat K-module, (2) L is torsion-free as an abelian group, (3) L is a direct sum of cyclic modules (or all its localizations at prime ideals of K have this property), or (4) K is a Dedekind domain. See, for example, the 1969 paper by Higgins for these statements.
I don't think condition (1) appears ever in Higgins. It does with "projective" instead of "flat", which is weaker (projectives are always flat, but not conversely). Flatness emerges only at the end of the paper, with respect not to modules but to ring extensions. Am I missing something? -- Darij (talk) 22:01, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  Yes, I was missing something. By Lazard's theorem, a flat module is always the direct limit of some free modules. And by Theorem 8 in Higgins's paper, this yields that the PBW theorem holds whenever L is a free K-module. -- Darij (talk) 09:02, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
