We prove that any connected proper Dupin hypersurface in $\R^n$ is analytic algebraic and is an open subset of a connected component of an irreducible algebraic set. We prove the same result for any connected non-proper Dupin hypersurface…

The classical Morse--Sard theorem claims that for a mapping $v:\mathbb R^n\to\mathbb R^{m+1}$ of class $C^k$ the measure of critical values $v(Z_{v,m})$ is zero under condition $k\ge n-m$. Here the critical set, or $m$-critical set is…

Given two finite ordered sets $A = \{a_1, \ldots, a_m\}$ and $B = \{b_1, \ldots, b_n\}$, introduce the set of $m n$ outcomes of the game $O = \{(a, b) \mid a \in A, b \in B\} = \{(a_i, b_j) \mid i \in I = \{1, \ldots, m\}, j \in J = \{1,…

Given a tree $T=(V,E)$ on $n$ vertices, we consider the $(1 : q)$ Maker-Breaker tree embedding game ${\mathcal T}_n$. The board of this game is the edge set of the complete graph on $n$ vertices. Maker wins ${\mathcal T}_n$ if and only if…

Let $\beta\equiv\beta^{(2n)}$ be an N-dimensional real multi-sequence of degree 2n, with associated moment matrix $\mathcal{M}(n)\equiv \mathcal{M}(n)(\beta)$, and let $r:=rank \mathcal{M}(n)$. We prove that if $\mathcal{M}(n)$ is positive…

Let $X$ be a topological space and $\mu$ be a nonatomic finite measure on a $\sigma$-algebra $\Sigma$ containing the Borel $\sigma$-algebra of $X$. We say $\mu$ is weakly outer regular, if for every $A \in \Sigma$ and $\epsilon>0$, there…

We prove that if $K$ is a compact space and the space $P(K\times K)$ of regular probability measures on $K\times K$ has countable tightness in its $weak^*$ topology, then $L_1(\mu)$ is separable for every $\mu\in P(K)$. It has been known…

For a positive finite Borel measure $\mu$ compactly supported in the complex plane, the space $\mathcal{P}^2(\mu)$ is the closure of the analytic polynomials in the Lebesgue space $L^2(\mu)$. According to Thomson's famous result, any space…

In "All p-adic reductive groups are tame" Bernstein proved that for a reductive group G over a local non-archimedean field F and a compact open subgroup K of G there exists a uniform bound N(G,K) such that for every irreducible, smooth, and…

Let $C$ be an open cone in a Banach space equipped with the Thompson metric with closure a normal cone. The main result gives sufficient conditions for Borel probability measures $\mu,\nu$ on $C$ with finite first moment for which $\mu\leq…

Let $G$ be a connected semi-simple group defined over and algebraically closed field, $T$ a fixed Cartan, $B$ a fixed Borel containing $T$, $S$ a set of simple reflections associated to the simple positive roots corresponding to $(T,B)$,…

Let $A$ be a $\sigma$-unital finite simple $C^*$-algebra which has strict comparison property. We show that if the canonical map $\Gamma$ from the Cuntz semigroup to certain lower semi-continuous affine functions is surjective, then $A$ has…

The $k$-majority game is played with $n$ numbered balls, each coloured with one of two colours. It is given that there are at least $k$ balls of the majority colour, where $k$ is a fixed integer greater than $n/2$. On each turn the player…

Let $(X, \mathcal{B}, \mu, T)$ be a dynamical system where $X$ is a compact metric space with Borel $\sigma$-algebra $\mathcal{B}$, and $\mu$ is a probability measure that's ergodic with respect to the homeomorphism $T : X \to X$. We study…

We prove that if A is the basin of immediate attraction to a periodic attracting or parabolic point for a rational map f on the Riemann sphere, if $A$ is completely invariant (i.e. $f^{-1}(A)=A$), and if $\mu$ is an arbitrary $f$-invariant…

A precise description of the convexity of Gaussian measures is provided by sharp Brunn-Minkowski type inequalities due to Ehrhard and Borell. We show that these are manifestations of a game-theoretic mechanism: a minimax variational…

In this paper, we extend the work of Pollington and Velani in \cite{PV} to an $S$-arithmetic set-up, where $S$ is a finite set of valuations of $\mathbb{Q}$. In particular, for an `absolutely friendly' measure supported on a compact set in…

Weyl-von Neumann Theorem asserts that two bounded self-adjoint operators $A,B$ on a Hilbert space $H$ are unitarily equivalent modulo compacts, i.e., $uAu^*+K=B$ for some unitary $u\in \mathcal{U}(H)$ and compact self-adjoint operator $K$,…

In this paper we show that if $\mu$ is a Borel measure in $\mathbb R^{n+1}$ with growth of order $n$, so that the $n$-dimensional Riesz transform $R_\mu$ is bounded in $L^2(\mu)$, and $B\subset\mathbb R^{n+1}$ is a ball with $\mu(B)\approx…

We remark that an easy combination of two known results yields a positive answer, up to log(n) terms, to a duality conjecture that goes back to Pietsch. In particular, we show that for any two symmetric convex bodies K,T in R^n, denoting by…
