For a probability measure $\mu$ on SL d (R), we consider the Furstenberg stationary measure on the space of flags. Under general non-degeneracy conditions, if $\mu$ is discrete and if g log g d$\mu$(g) < +$\infty$, then the measure $\nu$ is…

We derive new explicit bounds for the total variation distance between two convolution products of $n$ probability distributions, one of which having identical convolution factors. Approximations by finite signed measures of arbitrary order…

In a seminal 2005 paper, Haagerup and Thorbj{\o}rnsen discovered that the norm of any noncommutative polynomial of independent complex Gaussian random matrices converges to that of a limiting family of operators that arises from…

This paper discusses a general and useful stability principle which, roughly speaking, says that given a uniformly continuous function defined on an arbitrary metric space, if the function is bounded on the constraint set and we slightly…

A metric probability space $(\Omega,d)$ obeys the ${\it concentration\; of\; measure\; phenomenon}$ if subsets of measure $1/2$ enlarge to subsets of measure close to 1 as a transition parameter $\epsilon$ approaches a limit. In this paper…

The halfspace depth of a $d$-dimensional point $x$ with respect to a finite (or probability) Borel measure $\mu$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ is defined as the infimum of the $\mu$-masses of all closed halfspaces containing $x$. A natural question is…

A probability measure $P_n$ on the symmetric group ${\mathfrak S}_n$ is said to be record-dependent if $P_n(\sigma)$ depends only on the set of records of a permutation $\sigma\in{\mathfrak S}_n$. A sequence $P=(P_n)_{n\in{\mathbb N}}$ of…

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…

We study the problem of reconstructing and predicting the future of a dynamical system by the use of time-delay measurements of typical observables. Considering the case of too few measurements, we prove that for Lipschitz systems on…

Given a probability measure $\mu$ on a set $\mathcal{X}$ and a vector-valued function $\varphi$, a common problem is to construct a discrete probability measure on $\mathcal{X}$ such that the push-forward of these two probability measures…

Let $X \subset \mathbb{R}^N$ be a Borel set, $\mu$ a Borel probability measure on $X$ and $T:X \to X$ a Lipschitz and injective map. Fix $k \in \mathbb{N}$ greater than the (Hausdorff) dimension of $X$ and assume that the set of…

The Wasserstein distance between two probability measures on a metric space is a measure of closeness with applications in statistics, probability, and machine learning. In this work, we consider the fundamental question of how quickly the…

In this paper, we use algorithmic tools, effective dimension and Kolmogorov complexity, to study the fractal dimension of distance sets. We show that, for any analytic set $E\subseteq\R^2$ of Hausdorff dimension strictly greater than one,…

Let $Z^H= \{Z^H(t), t \in \R^N\}$ be a real-valued $N$-parameter harmonizable fractional stable sheet with index $H = (H_1, \ldots, H_N) \in (0, 1)^N$. We establish a random wavelet series expansion for $Z^H$ which is almost surely…

We study the Hausdorff dimension of a measure related to a positive weak solution of a certain partial differential equation in a simply connected domain in the plane. Our work generalizes work of Lewis and coauthors when the measure is $p$…

A strong submeasure on a compact metric space X is a sub-linear and bounded operator on the space of continuous functions on X. A strong submeasure is positive if it is non-decreasing. By Hahn-Banach theorem, a positive strong submeasure is…

Given positive measures $\nu,\mu$ on an arbitrary measurable space $(\Omega, \mathcal F)$, we construct a sequence of finite partitions $(\pi_n)_n$ of $(\Omega, \mathcal F)$ s.t. $$ \sum_{A\in \pi_n: \mu(A)>0} 1_{A} \frac{\nu(A)}{\mu(A)}…

Let $X$ be a Polish space. We prove that the generic compact set $K\subseteq X$ (in the sense of Baire category) is either finite or there is a continuous gauge function $h$ such that $0<\mathcal{H}^{h}(K)<\infty$, where $\mathcal{H}^h$…

Given some set, how hard is it to construct a measure supported by it? We classify some variations of this task in the Weihrauch lattice. Particular attention is paid to Frostman measures on sets with positive Hausdorff dimension. As a side…
