If $X$ is an analytic metric space satisfying a very mild doubling condition, then for any finite Borel measure $\mu$ on $X$ there is a set $N\subseteq X$ such that $\mu(N)>0$, an ultrametric space $Z$ and a Lipschitz bijection $\phi:N\to…
We prove a result in the area of twisted Diophantine approximation related to the theory of Schmidt games. In particular, under certain restrictions we give a affirmative answer to the analogue in this setting of a famous conjecture of…
Let $K\subset\mathbb R^n_q$, $T\subset\mathbb R^n_p$ be two bounded strictly convex bodies (open subsets) with $C^6$-smooth boundaries. We consider the product $\overline K\times\overline T\subset\mathbb R^{2n}_{q,p}$ equipped with the…
Let $\Gamma$ be a countable discrete amenable group, and let $A=l^\infty(\Gamma) \rtimes \Gamma$ or $A = \mathrm{C}(M) \rtimes \Gamma$, where $(M, \Gamma)$ is the universal minimal set of $\Gamma$. It is shown that if $a, b \in A \otimes…
We show that whenever a separable subset $S$ of a complete metric space $X$ admits a $d$-dimensional weak tangent field, the set $S$ is close to being $d$-dimensional in the following sense. Whenever $\mu$ is a Borel finite measure on $X$…
We prove that for any $s,t\ge0$ with $s+t=1$ and any $\theta\in\mathbb{R}$ with $\inf_{q\in\mathbb{N}}q^{\frac{1}{s}}\|q\theta\|>0$, the set of $y\in\mathbb{R}$ for which $(\theta,y)$ is $(s,t)$-badly approximable is 1/2-winning for…
Let $(X,T,\mu,d)$ be a metric measure-preserving system for which $3$-fold correlations decay exponentially for Lipschitz continuous observables. Suppose that $(M_k)$ is a sequence satisfying some weak decay conditions and suppose there…
The set of badly approximable numbers, Bad, is known to be winning for Schmidt's game and hence has full Hausdorff dimension. It is also known that the set of inhomogeneously badly approximable numbers has full dimension. We prove that the…
We prove an inverse of Furstenberg's correspondence principle stating that for all measure preserving systems $(X,\mu,T)$ and $A\subset X$ measurable there exists a set $E \subset \mathbb{N}$ such that \[ \mu\left( \bigcap_{i=1}^k…
We consider intermittent maps T of the interval, with an absolutely continuous invariant probability measure \mu. Kim showed that there exists a sequence of intervals A_n such that \sum \mu(A_n)=\infty, but \{A_n\} does not satisfy the…
Given a target set $A\subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$ and a real number $\beta\in (0,1)$, McMullen introduced the notion of $A$ being an absolutely $\beta$-winning set. This involves a two player game which we call the $\beta$-McMullen game. We…
In this article, we introduce a notion of size for sets called thickness that can be used to guarantee that two Cantor sets intersect (the Gap Lemma), and show a connection among Thickness, Schmidt Games and Patterns. We work mostly in the…
In this paper, we construct a class of random measures $\mu^{\mathbf{n}}$ by infinite convolutions. Given infinitely many admissible pairs $\{(N_{k}, B_{k})\}_{k=1}^{\infty}$ and a positive integral sequence…
A consequence of de Finetti's representation theorem is that for every infinite sequence of exchangeable 0-1 random variables $(X_k)_{k\geq1}$, there exists a probability measure $\mu$ on the Borel sets of $[0,1]$ such that $\bar X_n =…
In this paper, we study $k$-positivity and Schmidt number under standard orthogonal group symmetries. The Schmidt number is a natural quantification of entanglement in quantum information theory. First of all, we exhibit a complete…
Let $\mathrm{SO}(3,\mathbb{R})$ be the 3D-rotation group equipped with the real-manifold topology and the normalized Haar measure $\mu$. Resolving a problem by Breuillard and Green, we show that if $A \subseteq \mathrm{SO}(3,\mathbb{R})$ is…
In \cite{SchmidtGames}, W. Schmidt proved that the set of non-normal numbers in base $b$ is a {\it winning set}. We generalize this result by proving that many sets of non-normal numbers with respect to the Cantor series expansion are…
We establish that the existence of a winning strategy in certain topological games, closely related to a strong game of Choquet, played in a topological space $X$ and its hyperspace $K(X)$ of all nonempty compact subsets of $X$ equipped…
We extend the work of An, Guan and Kleinbock on bounded orbits of diagonalizable flows on $\mathrm{SL}_3(\mathbb{R})/\mathrm{SL}_3(\mathbb{Z})$ to $\mathrm{SL}_3(\mathbb{C})/\mathrm{SL}_3(\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{K}})$, where $\mathbb{K}$ is an…
We introduce a connection between Newhouse thickness and patterns through a variant of Schmidt's game introduced by Broderick, Fishman and Simmons. This yields an explicit, robust and checkable condition that ensures the presence of…
