BBB-senator nam tientallen kritische Kamervragen integraal over van een lobbygroep. ‘Ik lees en ik denk: dit is scherp, dit is slim’
Belangenorganisaties: Eerste Kamerlid Eric Kemperman (BBB) stelde scherpe Kamervragen die waren opgesteld door lobbyist Vastgoed Belang. Politici krijgen vaker hulp van belangenorganisaties, maar nemen hun vragen dan niet zo traceerbaar over: „Ik zit misschien wat apolitiek in de wedstrijd.”

Products and powers of principal symmetric ideals
Principal symmetric ideals were recently introduced by Harada, Seceleanu, and Sega, with a focus on their homological properties. They are ideals generated by the orbit of a single polynomial under permutations of variables in a polynomial ring. In this paper we seek to determine when a product of two principal symmetric ideals is principal symmetric and when all the powers of a principal symmetric ideal are again principal symmetric ideals. We characterize the ideals that have the latter prope…

Steiner symmetrization on the sphere
The aim of this paper is to introduce a generalization of Steiner symmetrization in Euclidean space for spherical space, which is the dual of the Steiner symmetrization in hyperbolic space introduced by Peyerimhoff (J. London Math. Soc. (2) 66: 753-768, 2002). We show that this symmetrization preserves volume in every dimension, and convexity in the spherical plane, but not in dimensions $n > 2$. In addition, we investigate the monotonicity properties of the perimeter and diameter of a set unde…

What use is Durbin?
I mean, is he just, like, decorative?
And by the way a simple majority of Senators can bypass those rules he points helplessly at.
