Talk:USS Illinois (BB-7)

message: Not sure where to work this in, a model of a battleship, known as Illinois was on display at the World's Columbian Exposition (1893 Chicago World's fair). Made of brick and costing over $100,000 to make, it sounds pretty impressive. It doesn't bear much resemblance to the actual Illinois BB-7, I think it was modeled after an Indiana class battleship.

Talk:List of sunken battlecruisers

message: I've made a series of edits to this article; some minor and mundane (linking to ship articles, fixing typos, unencyclopedic section headers, etc.) to correcting factually incorrect or removing irrelevant statements. 
For example, the entry on the German battle(ship/cruiser) had several incorrect statements; first, the ships were armed with 11" guns because Versailles stipulated that only one 15" gun could be made per year. That they were intended to be armed with 15" guns when enough became available should be enough to dispel the myth that they were built in the tradition of the Imperial German battlecruisers, sacrificing main guns for speed. Also, it states that most naval historians classify them as BCs, this is incorrect. Janes ('46-'47 edition, as well as the '96 edition) labels them as battleships, as does William H. Garzke's Battleships: Axis and Neutral Battleships in World War II (1985).
Also, no battlecruisers were built under Roosevelt's tenure. Regardless, even if he did insist on them, none were built and subsequently sunk or scuttled, so it's irrelevant to this list. The same holds true for the Soviets under Stalin. Parsecboy 23:30, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That's the first I've seen on FDR being keen on BCs. Given the amount of time he was running the country and the number of BCs which entered construction (0) it seems unlikely.

Talk:Separable algebra

message: In the last paragraph it says There is the celebrated Jans theorem that a finite group algebra A over a field of characteristic p is of finite representation type if and only if its Sylow p-subgroup is cyclic.
But I found this exact theorem in different Books under the name D.G. Higman. eg.
* Curtis, Charles W. (1962). Representation theory of finite groups and associative algebras. Pure and applied mathematics ; 11. New York [u.a.]: Interscience Publ.  Page 231, Theorem 11.4.3
* Webb, Peter. (2016). A course in finite group representation theory. Cambridge studies in advanced mathematics ; 161. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.  Page 431, Theorem 64.1
The original paper most likely is Higman, D. G. (1954). Indecomposable representations at characteristic p. Duke Mathematical Journal, 1954, 21, 377.

thread_title:  Wrong Theorem Name? 

message: The article said a field extension L/K is a separable field extension iff L is a separable algebra over K.  I'm pretty darn sure this is true only for extensions of finite degree (i.e. when L has finite dimension over K), since a separable algebra is a Frobenius algebra hence finite-dimensional.  There are infinite-degree separable extensions of fields - often the separable closure is such - so I think we need to insert the extra finiteness condition.  I did that.

message: I would like to add a section discussing the asymptotics of the 6-j symbol. This talk section can be used to discuss and improve the proposed asymptotics section on the main page.
These asymptotics have played a large role in the study of quantum gravity and were used in Ponzano and Regge's original construction of a state sum model for quantum gravity. The asymptotics have also played a role in atomic physics and the study of symmetry factors in group theoretical calculations for particle physics. There is also an asymptotics section on the 3-j symbol page.

I'm not sure about the notation \Delta(i,j,k) for the triangle inequality though; I used this notation for consistency with the existing notation, but I don't like it; usually \Delta(i,j,k) is used for the triangle coefficient, which is quite different but confusing because that coefficient also arises in the definition of the 6-j symbol.   http://mathworld.wolfram.com/TriangleCoefficient.html  The 9-j symbol page uses the notation {i,j,k}.
