Talk:163 (number)

message: It is fun to note that the square of exp(Pi.sqrt(163)) is close to an integer as are the kth
powers for k up to 6. This is an example of a pseudo-obvious result.

thread_title: Note

message: The target page of the external link (about 163 as a cool number) mentions that 163 is (not only the largest Heegner number, but also) the smallest p (by which he might mean a prime) such that some kind of subfield of the p-th cyclotomic field does not have unique factorization. There seems to exist a similar result for another kind of subfield of the same field. Details:
About 15 years ago, I was looking at this unique fact. thing (in number fields). After quadratic number fields, the next simple ones seem to be normal cubic extensions of the rational field; being Galois extensions with a cyclic Galois group (of 3 elements) they are abelian, so must be subfields of a cyclotomic field. Taking for a prime p the p-th cyclotomic field, this contains an (unique) cubic field iff 3 divides phi(p) = p-1, i.e. p is of the form 6k+1. Call this field C(p); I was looking for a p=6k+1 with an 'interesting' ideal class group of C(p); call this group G(p). My first serious candidate was p=163, because I had found by individual treatment - on rather elementary grounds after deriving general formulas for C(p) - one of two things (I don't remember which): 1. for p<163, 3|p-1, G(p) is trivial, i.e. C(p) has unique fact.; 2. for these values of p, G(p) is cyclic. (Of course, 1. implies 2.) For the case p=163 I searched existing literature and so found a proof that G(163) is not trivial - from what I knew, it followed that this group is the direct product of two subgroups of order 2 (therefore not cyclic). In case 1. is true, 163 is the smallest p=6k+1 such that C(p) is without unique factorization.
My intention being to introduce such a result into one of the articles on 163 (this one here or the French one), I searched again in the math. literature to get a reference, but only in the Web using Google. Until now I only found a web page that states among other things: the class number of C(p) - which is the order of G(p) - is a multiple of 4 iff some condition is satified, and 163 is the least such p=6k+1. I know from my first lit. search on this subject that it has been studied with some intensity.
So, does someone know about this: is 1. true? And what ref. (best in the Web) can be given for it?

Talk:Ninjatō

message: The Ninja-to or Shinobigatana was not straight. This image of the straight ninja sword is a recent pop-culture image that started in the 20th century. There are no historical records to indicate the ninja used such swords. Ninja-to were swords that were curved but slightly shorter than a standard katana length but longer than a wakazashi. These katana are called ko-katana. Almost every sword in Japan was curved and a ninja would not have carried anything that would identify himself as such. Ninja would more often appear as samurai or yamabushi in order to blend in (rarely using the now cliched ninja costume unless disguise was not an option) and therefore would have carried whatever equipment that the disguise called for. Both Hayes and Hatsumi have discussed this in various books and articles.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.184.219.104 (talk) 20:57, 4 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  This Page is Inaccurate. 

message: This comment is very spot on.  ('To' is the English translation of sword, hence, Ninja-to means any sword a ninja uses).  The article references the Hatsumi Book, History and Tradition, which was translated and ghostwritten by Stephen K Hayes in the early days of English books on the subject.  Hayes has maintained that the ninja-to were both straight or curved across various publications.  But in all other later books on the sword, and using multiple translators, Hatsumi says curved.  Likewise, you'll have difficulty ever finding a photo of Hatsumi with a straight blade or other Ninja lineage holders (e.g. Fujita Seiko - head of Koga Ninjutsu) using a straight blade (outside of possible kabuki/theatre productions).  Were I to cite these notes, I would update the actual page.  Instead, I'm adding this in talk to reinforce the argument, that the straight blade sword of the ninja is a recent invention (likely stemming from theatre and the popular movie series Shinobi-No-Mono).  The closest argument for straight comes from Antony Cummins, who asserts ninja grabbed broken blades from battlefields and used whatever they could find as swords.  While this is a reasonable conclusion (metal was valuable and rare on the island nation), it does not support or document widespread or codified use of the straight blade. Nor has Mr. Cummins provided suitable documentation to support his theories.   Of course, should any of this change, Wikipedia welcomes updates per the documentation standards.-- Greenshinobi (talk) 17:27, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

:Several of these missiles were fired by Iraq at advancing US forces and into Kuwait, although they produced few casualties. Some reports erroneously referred to the Al-Samoud missiles that hit Kuwait as "Scuds," due to the frequent use of those during the Gulf War.
The sources I've been able to dig up (, , ) are all much more noncomittal about exactly what types of missile were fired at Kuwait, mentioning Al Samoud 2 as just one possibility among several. this one appears to be the most recent and complete source and only lists Al Samoud missiles, not the longer-ranged second version.

message: I took the liberty of removing the claim about Al-Samoud 2's range of 180 km as being:
 'a threshold at which the missile crosses into being known as a weapon of mass destruction' 
This claim was not made by the source, and the range of Al-Samoud 2, in my oppion, does not bear on its potential as a WMD without the addition of a more important factor: The crucial issue is rather the type of warhead it might have carried. The range is a somewhat arbitrary limitation set to limit the ability to propel any remaining WMDs, not an indication of a missile being a WMD in and of itself.

The annexation of Orkney and Shetland by Charles II in 1669 had nothing to do with the Treaty of Breda, as suggested in an earlier draft. It was simply a withdrawal of privilege from the Morton family.
