It is known, that every function on the unit sphere in $\bbr^n$, which is invariant under rotations about some coordinate axis, is completely determined by a function of one variable. Similar results, when invariance of a function reduces…

If $f(x,y)$ is a real function satisfying $y>0$ and $\sum_{r=0}^{n-1}f(x+ry,ny)=f(x,y)$ for $n=1,2,3,\ldots$, we say that $f(x,y)$ is an invariant function. Many special functions including Bernoulli polynomials, Gamma function and Hurwitz…

We consider the notion of the matrix (tensor) distribution of a measurable function of several variables. On the one hand, it is an invariant of this function with respect to a certain group of transformations of variables; on the other…

Diversities are an extension of the concept of a metric space which assign a non-negative value to every finite set of points, rather than just pairs. A general theory of diversities has been developed which exhibits many deep analogies to…

Let a sequence of iid. random variables $\xi_1,...,\xi_n$ be given on a space $(X,\cal X)$ with distribution $\mu$ together with a nice class $\cal F$ of functions $f(x_1,...,x_k)$ of $k$ variables on the product space $(X^k,{\cal X}^k)$.…

We discuss a general definition of likelihood function in terms of Radon-Nikod\'{y}m derivatives. The definition is validated by the Likelihood Principle once we establish a result regarding the proportionality of likelihood functions under…

There is a result of Diaconis and Freedman which says that, in a limiting sense, for large collections of high-dimensional data most one-dimensional projections of the data are approximately Gaussian. This paper gives quantitative versions…

Let a function $u(x,y)$ be harmonic in the domain $$ D\times V_r=D\times \{y\in \mathbb{R}^m: |y|<r\}\subset \mathbb{R}^n\times \mathbb{R}^m $$ and for each fixed point $x^0$ from some a set $E\subset D$, %which is not embedded in countable…

Let $X$ be a rearrangement-invariant space over a non-atomic $\sigma$-finite measure space $(\mathscr{R},\mu)$ and let $\alpha\in(0,\infty)$. We define the functional \begin{equation*} \|f\|_{X^{\langle \alpha \rangle}} =…

Symmetric functions, which take as input an unordered, fixed-size set, are known to be universally representable by neural networks that enforce permutation invariance. These architectures only give guarantees for fixed input sizes, yet in…

We generalize some previous results on random polynomials in several complex variables. A standard setting is to consider random polynomials $H_n(z):=\sum_{j=1}^{m_n} a_jp_j(z)$ that are linear combinations of basis polynomials $\{p_j\}$…

Necessary and sufficient conditions on the system of positive numbers $ M_{k_1}, M_{k_2}, M_{k_3}, M_{k_4}$, $0= k_1<k_2<k_3=r-2$, $k_4 = r$, which guarantee the existence of a function $x\in L_{\infty,\infty}^r(R)$, such that…

Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be a domain and $f \in W^{1,n}_{\text{loc}} (\Omega,\mathbb{R}^n) $. We say that $f$ has a value of finite distortion at $y_0 \in \mathbb{R}^n$ if there exist measurable functions $K \colon \Omega \to…

It was shown by G. Pisier that any finite-dimensional normed space admits an $\alpha$-regular $M$-position, guaranteeing not only regular entropy estimates but moreover regular estimates on the diameters of minimal sections of its unit-ball…

Let $n$ be a positive integer and $f$ a differentiable function from a convex subset $C$ of the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$ to a smooth manifold. We define an invariant of $f$ via counting certain threshold functions associated to $f$.…

The volume of a Cartier divisor is an asymptotic invariant, which measures the rate of growth of sections of powers of the divisor. It extends to a continuous, homogeneous, and log-concave function on the whole N\'eron--Severi space, thus…

In this paper, we investigate the relationship between positive definite functions on the unit sphere $\sph$ and on the Euclidean space $\RR^d$. For the dimension $d$ to be odd, a new technique is developed to establish the inheritance of…
