We first use properties of the Fuglede-Kadison determinant on $L^p(M)$, for a finite von Neumann algebra $M$, to give several useful variants of the noncommutative Szeg\"{o} theorem for $L^p(M)$, including the one usually attributed to…

We classify all Kahler metrics in an open subset of $C^2$ whose real geodesics are circles. All such metrics are equivalent (via complex projective transformations) to Fubini metrics (i.e. to Fubini-Study metric on $CP^2$ restricted to an…

This article investigates the Mahler measure of a family of 2-variate polynomials, denoted by $P_d, d\geq 1$, unbounded in both degree and genus. By using a closed formula for the Mahler measure introduced in "Volume function and Mahler…

Cantor sets in \(\mathbb{R}\) are common examples of sets for which Hausdorff measures can be positive and finite. However, there exist Cantor sets for which no Hausdorff measure is supported and finite. The purpose of this paper is to try…

We consider a variation of the Mahler measure where the defining integral is performed over a more general torus. We focus our investigation on two particular polynomials related to certain elliptic curve $E$ and we establish new formulas…

We calculate the Fuglede-Kadison determinant of arbitrary matrix-valued semicircular operators in terms of the capacity of the corresponding covariance mapping. We also improve a lower bound by Garg, Gurvits, Oliveira, and Widgerson on this…

Dubickas and Smyth defined the metric Mahler measure on the multiplicative group of non-zero algebraic numbers. The definition involves taking an infimum over representations of an algebraic number $\alpha$ by other algebraic numbers. We…

In this paper we apply algebraic $K$-theory techniques to construct a Fuglede-Kadison type determinant for a semi-finite von Neumann algebra equipped with a fixed trace. Our construction is based on the approach to determinants for Banach…

Adopting the Mahler measure from number theory, we introduce it to toric quiver gauge theories, and study some of its salient features and physical implications. We propose that the Mahler measure is a universal measure for the quiver,…

We consider the factorization problem of matrix symbols relative to a closed contour, i.e., a Riemann-Hilbert problem, where the symbol depends analytically on parameters. We show how to define a function $\tau$ which is locally analytic on…

A classical theorem of Fatou asserts that the Radon-Nikodym derivative of any finite positive Borel measure, $\mu$, with respect to Lebesgue measure on the complex unit circle, is recovered as the non-tangential limits of its Poisson…

In this paper we will establish functional equations for Mahler measures of families of genus-one two-variable polynomials. These families were previously studied by Beauville, and their Mahler measures were considered by Boyd,…

With any convex function F on a finite-dimensional linear space X such that F goes to infinity at infinity, we associate a Borel measure on the dual space X*. This measure is obtained by pushing forward the measure exp(-F(x))dx under the…

For the importance of differentiation theorems in metric spaces (starting with Pansu Rademacher type theorem in Carnot groups) and relations with rigidity of embeddings see the section 1.2 in Cheeger and Kleiner paper arXiv:math/0611954 and…

We study the properties of reflectionless measures for an $s$-dimensional Calder\'on-Zygmund operator $T$ acting in $\mathbb{R}^d$, where $s\in (0,d)$. Roughly speaking, these are the measures $\mu$ for which $T(\mu)$ is constant on the…

Uniform measures are the functionals on the space of bounded uniformly continuous functions that are continuous on every bounded uniformly equicontinuous set. This paper describes the role of uniform measures in the study of convolution on…

In a variety of applications it is important to extract information from a probability measure $\mu$ on an infinite dimensional space. Examples include the Bayesian approach to inverse problems and possibly conditioned) continuous time…

Let $\mathbb{K}$ be a function field of characteristic $p>0$. We recently established the analogue of a theorem of Ku. Nishioka for linear Mahler systems defined over $\mathbb{K}(z)$. This paper is dedicated to proving the following…

We prove a characterization of the Dirichlet-Ferguson measure over an arbitrary finite diffuse measure space. We provide an interpretation of this characterization in analogy with the Mecke identity for Poisson point processes.

Under certain regularity conditions, we establish quasi-invariance of Gaussian measures on periodic functions under the flow of cubic fractional nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equations on the one-dimensional torus.
