an existing one (other than the kind of strange games mathematicians invent for various purposes) seems unlikely. Most games have a finite number of possible game states since there is usually a finite number of possible moves at any given point and a finite amount of time to play the game (although I suppose it is possible that time could be unbounded, leading to countably infinitely many game states, but that isn't much help anyway). If we want to have interesting geometry over the real numbers we obviously need uncountably many game states, that means uncountably many decisions at a given point. The only such games I can think of are sports where you have things moving around in space, but they aren't usefully described in the way you want. For football (soccer) you can have the position of the ball represented by a 2D vector, the possible game states are a rectangle and the winning game positions are a line segment at each end of the pitch. Not very interesting, but it fits your requirements technically. You could try snooker with 2 dimensions per ball, the possible game states would be those where the balls are in a rectangle and there is a minimum distance between them (the diameter of the balls). The end game states would be a discrete set where all the balls are in the pockets (the minimum distance rule doesn't apply there), and you need 2 extra discrete dimensions for the scores. So, you can do the kind of things you are talking about, but they aren't useful. I think it is only going to work nicely if you invent a game for that purpose. --
5408:), but within the particular Coxeter system they are quite different. For instance, take the group to be SL(4,p^f) of type A3. B is a Borel subgroup, the normalizer of a Sylow p-subgroup. B is a semidirect product of T and the Sylow p-subgroup, and N is the normalizer of T in G. N/(BnN) is isomorphic to the symmetric group on 4 points, a Coxeter group of type A3 with Coxeter generating set w1=(1,2), w2=(2,3), and w3=(3,4). Letting n1, n2, n3 be preimages of w1, w2, and w3, one has that the double cosets Bn1B and Bn2B have different sizes. For instance, when p^f=3, Bn1B has size 157464 and Bn2B has size 17496. Now, if w1 and w2 are conjugate under a graph automorphism of the Weyl group, then I think the group itself should have a graph automorphism so that Bn1B and Bn2B are conjugate. The graph automorphism is unlikely to be an inner automorphism, so probably they are not conjugate within the group itself, but they would be in the holomorph. 2101:
Durham but by the reseach council EPSRC, I already had a member of staff applying on my behalf for the grant so that I could work with him). I am currently awaiting the outcome of a research proposal submitted (to the research council EPSRC) to work at Leeds. These proposals take up to six months each to be resolved, and my situation is not uncommon; especially given that the government have cut research funding due to the economic climate. Tango, if and when you complete a PhD you will find that this situation is very common. I know a Cambridge graduate that spent three years looking for a postdoc position. So I'm just keeping my fingers crossed. As for recent mentions, my last paper wat published seven months ago; that's not too long ago is it? Tell me Tango: when was your last paper publish?
1932:. I am truly insulted by your comments Tango. As an undergraduate I took an interest in differential geometry, singularity theory, and Riemann surfaces. I never found number theory or, for that matter, real analysis very entertaining. Just because I have gaps in my knowledge in one area doesn't mean I have gaps in ever area, or more importantly that I'm lying! Just google me Tango, you'll find all the evidence you need. If you want castiron proof then why not email one of the other mathematicians on those webpages with a secret code, and ask them to email me, and I'll post it on here. I'm truly insulted! I'm sure you know next to nothing about affine differential geometry, but does that mean you're not a maths student?! 6072:
automorphism of the Coxeter diagram, an automorphism of the Weyl group described by permuting the generators according to the diagram, an automorphism of the algebraic group (over the algebraically closed field) inducing that automorphism on the Weyl group, an automorphism of the finite untwisted group that is just the restriction of the one on the algebraic group, and, when talking of a twisted type group, the automorphism of the algebraic group that gets combined with the frobenius endomorphism to define the twisted group. I think the fourth and the fifth don't conflict, since I think a twisted group doesn't have any graph automorphisms in the fourth sense, though 2E6 as F4 worries me a little.
5926:, but perhaps they happen to be). Unfortunately the Weyl group is type B_n in the SU case, and so there does seem to be a good chance the q_i will respect conjugacy. The size of the q_i though is supposed to depend on the size of the orbit of the root under the graph automorphism that defined the twisted group, and I don't see why that should be particularly related to conjugacy in the Weyl group. If it is true (in some generality), then Carter's Finite Groups of Lie Type (the thick brown one, not the thin black/gray one) might have the appropriate setup in its early chapters. I prefer the thin "Simple" book for most things, but it treats twisted and untwisted separately. 5623:
there is a subgroup U_w of w which is generated by all X_i such that w(i) is a negative root. So U_1 = 1, and U=U_{w0} where w0 is the longest element of the Weyl group. The double coset BwB is also equal to BwU_w and has cardinality |B|*|U_w|. In particular, for w=w1, U_w1 = X_1 has order q, and for w=w2, U_w2 = X_2 has order 3, so the quotient |BwB|/|B| = |U_w| is equal to q whenever w has length 1 (that is, whenever it is one of the generators from the Coxeter generating set). Indeed, if w has length l (it is a product of l generators, but not a product of fewer than l generators), then |U_w|=q^l.
775:. 10 is the number of slashes in "//////////", and is an integer with any conventional way of defining integers. "10" is a string consisting of the symbol "1" followed by the symbol "0", which can mean anything at all. Usually this string is interpreted using the decimal system, in which case it means the number 10. But the string itself is not a number and certainly not an integer (unless we choose to embed all finite ASCII strings as integers, but that is beside the point). 10 is of course also a rational number, while "10" is not. 1405:", for instance, we assume the subscript to be in decimal, and trying to explicitly state this by subscripting another "10" leads nowhere. You can go around this, of course, by writing the subscript as "ten", "dec" or even "5+5", all of which always mean the number ten, which "10" does not necessarily do. (The convention that numbers are in decimal unless otherwise stated is pretty useful.) — 1701:
you user page section on numbers and it does help a little. I am begining to think that my problem is not (thankfully) with the idea of integers and natural numbers, but with the notation used to give representations of these numbers. I have learned something over the last few days; but it has been quite painful. I'm sure people could have been more gentle. Anyway...
185:, nothing)... which can express the exact value of an irrational number; it can not be exactly bound by two other numbers greater and less than it (because for any arbitrarily sized distance, there are smaller numbers which make a better bound). There's a lot of subtle advanced mathematics here - the best place to start would be to really read and understand our 3894:

And whatever Jao was trying to say, he didn't say it in a very nice way. Scroll up and read more of his posts, he's not the most civil or polite.

boundary between these points. (You could do that anyway by just defining a metric on the positions, but that would introduce the possibility that the choice of metric is more important to the dimension than the game). Of course any game with a finite number of positions has dimension zero, but there are ways around that.
5887:
It is exactly those q_i that I am after. They should also be the cardinalities |B w_i B|, divided by |B| itself. And they should be equal if the corresponding generators are conjugate. (so that is why there is only one q involved in the projective case, the A_n case). A lot of people have told me
5160:
Are you restricting yourself to vector spaces or is any manifold acceptable? There is an additional requirement that the subsets you are interested in actually be subspaces/submanifolds, otherwise the dimensions you talk about aren't well defined. I'm sure we can invent a game that works, but finding

The problem with this is that the transformation removes too much information and the geometric interpretation of this set is fairly meaningless. I was trying to think of a game where there is a more natural transformation from positions to euclidean points, so that things like the euclidean distance

I'd like to thank you all for you wonderful cooperation and interaction. To tell you the truth, I feel such proofs are totally new to me because I didn't study about "modular arithmetic"; although I think the one who asked this in Arabic Knowledge (XXG) must have studied it unless there's another way

I was going to work with Farid Tari. I have even given a talk at the Durham geometry seminar. We applied to the EPSRC but one of the referees decided that he didn't like the project even though, believe it or not, we were going to try and establish some affine results that had been publish, in their

Meni's right... Just find Declan Davis' email address at Liverpool and send him and email. He'll be glad to confirm that he's the person writing this very message. Although he won't be on Liverpool's webpage since he's already left. You'll have to try one of this publications. Do you have MathSciNet?

But that oversight on my part exemplifies my point: I took π as a given, i.e. 3.14159265... = π. Most people always assume that the numbers are given to base 10. I agree that numbers exist independently of their representations. My problem seems to lie with the representations themselves. I have read
1424:
You make a good point about π! As for the point about bases, it shows that base 10 does indeed play a special role. We always assume that numbers are base 10, and then within this framework we can talk about other bases (base 10). To define integers and the like without any mention of a base requires
1248:
If you have the complete set of real numbers without having taken any of the intermediate steps in defining natural numbers, integers and rationals, you can still produce the set of all integers, as I said above, as the smallest possible closure of the set {1} (where 1 is the multiplicative identity)
265:
gave a very nice reply to the earlier post. I have only ever come across number systems to integer bases. Talking about base π seems a little wishy-washy to me. What's the expansion of 7 in base π? It would be irrational! Infact every number except multiples of π would be irrational. Would it even be

I was thinking along similar lines for Chess or Go, but I figure that even if the space of all games is near infinite, the space between 0 and 1 in even one dimension is actually infinite, so it could easily accommodate all those positions. Consider, for instance a representation of a chess position

Hi, 129 here, I don't think my solution is convoluted. All I did was to observe 1) the LHS is 1 mod 6 so k must be 1 mod 6 (I left this as a hint, 93 spelled it out) 2) knowing this you are lead to the equation n(n+1)+2 = 0 mod 6 which is easily seen to have no solutions (in my 15:38 post). Jao is

Ok, that makes sense. I chose not to do a PhD in the end, my final year project wasn't very enjoyable so I decided to go down a different route. I'm currently job hunting myself. I'm curious, who were you going to work with in Durham? I did my MMath there and a Differential Geometer was my tutor, so

What base is the base in? And what base is the base of the base in? We have to take base 10 as a starting point and move on. Otherwise I find myself going round and around in circles. I guess that's the problem with expressing the integers in any base. It reminds me of relativity, and there being no
1244:
pretty, but, really, it's a rather clunky representation to go by for the purposes of mathematics (partly because it contains multiple representations for the same number, and partly because the definitions of addition and multiplication aren't exactly trivial). The integers are not defined by their

Hello, I certainly enjoy "debating" with you (and I think we have also crossed paths elsewhere). If it suits you better, this discussion can also be continued on my talk page. I somewhat recognise the stuff you wrote about U_w. I read that in general, there is a q_i associated with each generator
5626:
For general (B,N) pairs I don't know a formula for the size, but for so called "split (B,N) pairs of characteristic p satisfying the commutator relations" this same thing occurs, BwB = BwU_w and |BwB|/|B| = |U_w|. However, even for algebraic groups, the size of U_{w1} can depend on which root you
5142:
I should perhaps elaborate a little on what I'm trying to do. One of the things I'm toying with is the idea that in such a representation you can talk about the (fractal) dimension of the total set of board positions, or the dimension of the sets of winning/losing positions, or the dimension of the

Another interpretation would be to relate this to ergodicity. (My understanding of ergodic theory isn't great, so please correct me if this makes no sense). For instance, if you were interested in which parks in a city were well-liked by people, you could can do two things. You can look at a lot of
4072:
Well, 129's proof is clever and clear. It reduces to an elementary fact (i.e., n(n+1)+2 is never divisible by 6) that one can easily check. Most likely you are able to understand it perfectly, but of course, if any point is still not clear to you, I guess you are welcome to ask for further details.
2607:
Thank you, that excludes some of the possibility for misinterpretation. So f is constant on the equivalence classes of X induced by G. Now with the Lagrangian itself operating on functions I'm still not clear if in this case G acts on these functions (as the domain of L) or on the domain of each of

I have googled you, certainly there did used to be a PhD student with your name (I have no way to know if that is actually you), although oddly I can find no recent mentions of you. Were you unable to find a post-doc position? That whether or not a number is an integer is not dependant on what base

does not specify a base, and says that 10 is an integer. When you talk about integers, you seem to mean those numbers with integer values when expressed to base 10. So the integers base 10 seem to hold a special place in our arithmetic. I asked this question earlier, but didn't get a reply. If not,

Hello, thanks for your reply. Indeed, I mean that they are both part of a single coxeter generating set (sorry if that was unclear). I must admit that I do not know what a "graph automorphism of a group" is. I do know "automorphisms of a graph" (and there is plenty on that on the internet) but

I'm looking for a reasonably complex game of perfect information, where each position (ie. the state of the game after a player has made her move) can be fully expressed as an n-dimensional vector in a straightforward manner. I'm sure that the board-positions of Chess and Go can be encoded in this

1400:
As for that specific example, remember that "π" is not the base-10 representation of the number π; the base-10 representation of π is "3.14159...". π is just a symbol whose value does not depend on base—just like the symbols 1, 2 and 5 denote the same numbers in octal, decimal or hexadecimal. Base

Cool, I checked all the twisted groups and it is always true that if w1 and w2 are conjugate in the Weyl group then q1=q2 for the root subgroups. I still don't quite understand why this is true other than as coincidence, but it seems to work. By graph automorphism I mean five related things: an

I did read the thread carefully, it wasn't very long. You gave very little explanation and just wrote a lot of maths. I found that convoluted. Clearly, you wouldn't think that your solution is convoluted: you wrote it! People ask questions because they don't understand the topic. There's no point

that Carter's book is a good reference, but I couldn't find an answer in there. That is in generaly my problem with theory like this, too much stuff I picked up "from the street". I was very curious if there is a really quick way to see that those q_i must be equal for conjugate generators

In a philosophically mathematical manner, is it ridiculous to ask if "the average person is average"? I suppose there could be some term switching in that both averages would not refer to the same method of obtaining an average (e.g. mean vs. median), but that would sort of be a

On another note, there is, of course, an exact decimal representation of pi. It happens to contain infinitely many digits. But that's nothing special. Even the decimal representation of the real number zero has infinitely many digits. It just so happens that they're all 0.

We can't measure a diameter and a circumference with infinite precision, true; we also can't know π with infinite precision. To put it another way, we can (in principle) measure a circle to as many digits as we want, and compute π to as many digits as we want.

Dr. Dec, I'm sure you know this but "irrational" means not a ratio of integers, which is a property of the number rather than its representation. 7 is rational whether you express it in base 10, 2 or π - "having no repeating expansion in base π" is the correct

But the article also says that golden base ratio has this problem too, i.e. equalities along the lines of 0.999... = 1. It seems that every choice of base gives this same problem with infinite decimal expansions. But what base 10 doesn't say is that 11 = 100.
