We study the probability measure $\mu_{0}$ for which the moment sequence is $\binom{3n}{n}\frac{1}{n+1}$. We prove that $\mu_{0}$ is absolutely continuous, find the density function and prove that $\mu_{0}$ is infinitely divisible with…

Let $(\mathfrak{M},\rho,\mu)$ be a metric measure space satisfying a doubling condition, $p_0\in (1,\infty)$, and $T(t):L^{p_0}(\mathfrak{M},\mu)\rightarrow L^{p_0}(\mathfrak{M},\mu)$, $t\geq 0$, a strongly continuous semi-group. We provide…

Let $\mathbb{P}$ be the complete metric space consisting of positive invertible operators on an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space with the Thompson metric. We introduce the notion of operator means of probability measures on $\mathbb{P}$,…

The Sinai billiard map $T$ on the two-torus, i.e., the periodic Lorentz gas, is a discontinuous map. Assuming finite horizon, we propose a definition $h_*$ for the topological entropy of $T$. We prove that $h_*$ is not smaller than the…

We prove that every finite Borel measure $\mu$ in $\mathbb{R}^N$ that is bounded from above by the Hausdorff measure $\mathcal{H}^s$ can be split in countable many parts $\mu\lfloor_{E_k}$ that are bounded from above by the Hausdorff…

Let $\mu$ be a probability measure on the real line. In this paper we prove that there exists a decomposition $\mu = \mu_{0} \boxplus \mu_{1} \boxplus \... \boxplus \mu_{n} \boxplus \...$ such that $\mu_{0}$ is infinitely divisible and…

Given all (finite) moments of two measures $\mu$ and $\lambda$ on $\R^n$, we provide a numerical scheme to obtain the Lebesgue decomposition $\mu=\nu+\psi$ with $\nu\ll\lambda$ and $\psi\perp\lambda$. When$\nu$ has a density in…

We prove that self-similar measures on the real line are absolutely continuous for almost all parameters in the super-critical region, in particular confirming a conjecture of S-M. Ngai and Y. Wang. While recently there has been much…

Let $\mu$ denote a Borel probability measure and let $\{ \mu_{t} \}_{t\geq 1}$ denote the free additive convolution semigroup of Nica and Speicher. We show that the support of these measures varies continuously in the Hausdorff metric for…

Stern's diatomic sequence with its intrinsic repetition and refinement structure between consecutive powers of $2$ gives rise to a rather natural probability measure on the unit interval. We construct this measure and show that it is purely…

We characterize two-weight inequalities for certain maximal truncations of the Hilbert transform in terms of testing conditions on simpler functions. For 1<p<2 and two positive Borel measures u, v on R, we assume that u is doubling, and we…

We characterize probability measure with finite moment of any order in terms of the symmetric difference operators of their Fourier transforms. By using our new characterization, we prove the continuity $f(t,v)\in C((0, \infty),L^1_{2k-2…

Given two measurable spaces $H$ and $D$ with countably generated $\sigma$-algebras, a perfect prior probability measure $P_H$ on $H$ and a sampling distribution $S: H \rightarrow D$, there is a corresponding inference map $I: D \rightarrow…

Given two nondegenerate Borel probability measures $\mu$ and $\nu$ on $\mathbb{R}_{+}=[0,\infty)$, we prove that their free multiplicative convolution $\mu\boxtimes\nu$ has zero singular continuous part and its absolutely continuous part…

Let $(X,\mathcal{B},\mu,T)$ be a measure preserving system. We say that a function $f\in L^2(X,\mu)$ is $\mu$-mean equicontinuous if for any $\epsilon>0$ there is $k\in \mathbb{N}$ and measurable sets ${A_1,A_2,\cdots,A_k}$ with…

This note explains how the two measures used to define the $\mu$-deformed Segal-Bargmann space are natural and essentially unique structures. As is well known, the density with respect to Lebesgue measure of each of these measures involves…

We show that in many parametrized families of self-similar measures, their projections, and their convolutions, the set of parameters for which the measure fails to be absolutely continuous is very small - of co-dimension at least one in…

On a general filtered probability space, for a given signal $U_t=B_t+\int_0^t\dot{u}_sds$, we prove that the filtration of $U$ is equal to the filtration of its innovation process $Z$ if and only if $$ H(Z(\nu)|\mu)=\half…

The Hellinger distance between quantum states is a significant measure in quantum information theory, known for its Riemannian and monotonic properties. It is also easier to compute than the Bures distance, another measure that shares these…

We provide an algorithm to approximate a finitely supported discrete measure $\mu$ by a measure $\nu_{N}$ corresponding to a set of $N$ points so that the total variation between $\mu$ and $\nu_N$ has an upper bound. As a consequence if…
