Talk:Euboea

message: Does anybody know the equivalent of it in Turkish? I couldnt find it out from the Greel Islands pages which contain Turkish equivalents? It is urgent. Thanks.
Ancient Greeks thought that the word "Eu-boea" derived from the words "Eu" (= good) and bous (= cow).
It is possible that the word "Eu-boea" is derived from the word "Abia".
Abia was the land of a Greek tribe "Abantes" who migrated to Euboea from Illyria (or, from Epirus) and later, took part in Trojan War.

message: "for supplying them with corn and cattle,"
This was under the section mentioning Pericles. If I'm not mistaken, there was no corn in Europe during Pericles's time.
::In UK English corn is sort of a generic word for grain.  In England and Wales it usually means wheat, in Scotland, oats (or so I've read).  It is only in the U.S. and Canada that corn means maize.  So yes, there was no maize in Europe, but there certainly was grain.  76.234.177.142 (talk) 18:47, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Geoff Nicholls

message: Geoff Nichols formerly played keyboards and rythym guitar for Birmingham heavy metal band Quartz, between 1974 and late 1979/early 1980 (He did not record on 1979's "Live Quartz", yet a fair degree of synth playing is present on their 1980 masterwork, "Stand Up & Fight"... whether these parts were written by him I do not know, he's not credited at all on the album). He then returned, under the name of Geoff Bate, to record vocals and keyboards on Quartz's 1983 sell-out album for Heavy Metal Records, "Against All Odds".
Edit: No, Geoff Nicholls did not return as Geoff Bate. They are two different people.
Edit (Again): Yeah, I recently realised this having bought their "Satan's Serenade" compilation, and remembering that anything written by someone contributing to allmusic.com is often a load of crap. Can't remember what band Geoff Bate was in before, but bass player Stephen McLaughlin, who replaced Derek Arnold for the aforementioned album, was previously in a band called Ezy Rider.

Talk:Cernavodă

message: emoved:
:It is believed that the modern city was refounded by the legendary Negru Vodă, hence its name.
Cernavoda is "black water" in slavic languages. It would be suspicious that the name will be half-slavic "cerna" (black), half-romanian "vodă" (leader), so the match with Negru Voda (Black the Leader) is a bit overstretched imo. mikka (t) 20:26, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I've added some etymology. Hope you agree the name is certainly Bulgarian, as it'd be "chorna(ya)" in East Slavic and there's no other Slavic languages around. Besides, "vodă" is not "Romanian" (i.e. Latin-derived and Romance), it is a Slavic loanword (from the root "vod" = to lead).  → Тодор Божинов / Todor Bozhinov → 20:08, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  This is the most probable etymology. Note also Carasu Valley (Kara-su = "black water" in tatar), nowadays part of Danube-Black Sea Canal. Also, there may be a connection with the old name Axiopa/Axiopolis, which, according to some scientists meant the same in an IE-language, probably Dacian: axi (IE *ņ-ks(e)y- "dark", cf Avest. akšaēna "dark coloured", see also Balck Sea name) +  *upā/*upolis (cf Lith. ùpė "river", with diminutive upēlis) Anonimu 14:16, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Schur's theorem

message: A recent addition to this article said:
:In combinatorics, Schur's theorem states that any sufficently large
integer can be obtained from a linear combination of a fixed set of relatively
prime numbers. In other words, if the numbers a_1,\ldots,a_n are
relatively prime (their greatest common divisor is 1), there exists a
number n such that every integer greater than n is
equal to c_1a_1 + \cdots c_na_n for some integers
c_1,\ldots,c_n. For example, since 2 and 5 are relatively prime,
there exists a number such that any amount of money greater than this number
can be changed exactly with coins of denomination 2 and 5 (see [[coin
problem]]).
However, I think this might be mistaken.  I believe this result is due to J. J. Sylvester, and is sometimes known as "Sylvester's theorem", although the Wikipedia entry for Sylvester's theorem is about something else.  I have reverted the article pending confirmation one way or the other.  If I am incorrect, my apologies.  -- Dominus 20:27, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: For example, the page Sylver coinage says "A theorem of James Joseph Sylvester, after whom the game is named, shows that every game must eventually end, i.e. the players cannot avoid having to say 1 forever."   And many sources agree that Sylvester did prove the result for n=2, and call this result "Sylvester's theorem".  More investigation forthcoming, I hope.  -- Dominus 20:30, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

text: In More Games of No Chance, John Horton Conway says "This game is played by two players who take turns in naming positive integers which cannot be made up from previously named numbers. The person who names 1 looses, otherwise the game is trivial. This game is finite, as can be shown by result of J. J. Sylvester."  I think that's pretty authoritative. -- Dominus 20:34, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

message: There's one more known Schur's theorem (I found it in Spivak's book on Differential Geometry).

Talk:Rho meson

message: No! In the chiral limit, we have two global symmetries SU(N_f)_L and SU(N_f)_R. We also have a hidden gauge symmetry SU(N_f)_{hid} which is completely distinct from the chiral symmetries. The global chiral symmetry group is spontaneously broken to SU(N_f)_{diag} with the pions as the Goldstone bosons whereas the hidden gauge symmetry is also spontaneously broken, leading to the massive rho mesons. Phys 20:44, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't understand the complaint. The chiral left and right sum to vector and axial vector. Quantization breaks the axial vector due to the chiral anomaly. The vector is the "diagonal" part, and both rho and pi belong to it. Rho is spin-one, pi is spin-zero. The "obvious" analogy is that pions are like L=0 ground-state hydrogen, and rho is like the L=1 excited state of hydrogen. I don't see why a hidden flavor symmetry is needed. I guess you're saying "Georgi is wrong", but its been 30-40-50 years, and whatever controversy has died down. Meanwhile the chiral anomaly and the soliton models continue to attract attention, so you could say "they won".
