Prove that $$f(x, y) \equiv \arccos\left(\frac{x-y}{K}\right) - \arccos\left(\frac{x-y}{K}+y\right) - \frac{y}{x}\arccos(1-y^2) \ge 0$$

with the constraints:

$K\ge 2$ is an integer, $g(x, y) = (K-1)y^2+x^2-K=0$, $1\le x\le \sqrt{K}$, $0\le y\le 1$.

Furthermore, $f(x, y) = 0$ if and only if $x=y=1$ or $x=\sqrt{K}$ and $y=0$.

Numerically it seems ...

Question. Let $n \in \mathbb{N}$. Is the truncated simplex category $\Delta^{\leq n}$ (consisting of $[0],\dotsc,[n]$) a generalized variety?

A category is a generalized variety if it has sifted colimits and there is a small set $G$ of strong...

Let $A$ be a finite set of statements and $R$ is the set of all implications between them. Let $K$ be the complete relation of all arrows between elements of $A$. If there are no equivalent statements in $A$, then $A$ is partially ordered by implication. To prove that only implications from $R$ hold, we need to refute some arrows from the complement $K \setminus R$. Call this...

It is somewhat well-known that countably generated torsion modules over a local PID are classified by their Ulm invariants.

I'm interested in homological properties of rings of the form $R_ := \mathrm{End}_k(T)$ for such modules over $k[[t]]$, or, equivalently, over $k[t]_{(t)}$, and how to express those properties in terms of Ulm sequence.

Main question...

Given a cardinal $\kappa > 2$, is there a triangle-free vertex-transitive graph $G=(V,E)$ with $\chi(G) = \kappa$?
