When enough matter is condensed in a small region, gravitational effects will be strong enough to cause collapse and a black hole will be formed. We formulate and prove here such a statement in the language of general relativity. (This is Theorem 2 of this paper.)

In this paper we analyze the Kahrobaei-Lam-Shpilrain (KLS) key exchange protocols that use extensions by endomorpisms of matrices over a Galois field proposed in \cite{Kahrobaei-Lam-Shpilrain:2014}. We show that both protocols are vulnerable to a simple linear algebra attack.

Let$X$and$Y$be smooth varieties of dimensions$n$−1 and$n$over an arbitrary algebraically closed field,$f: X→Y$a finite map that is birational onto its image. Suppose that$f$is curvilinear; that is, for all$xεX$, the Jacobian ϱ$f(x)$has rank at least$n$−2. For$r$≥1, consider the subscheme$N$_{$r$}of$Y$defined by the ($r$−1)th Fitting ideal of the $$\mathcal{O}_Y $$ -module $$f_ * \mathcal{O}_X $$ , and set$M$_{$r$}∶=$f$^{−1}$N$_{$r$}. In this setting—in fact, in a more general setting—we prove the following statements, which show that$M$_{$r$}and$N$_{$r$}behave like reasonable schemes of source and target$r$-fold points of$f$.
