In this paper we investigate continuity properties of functions $f:\mathbb{R}_+\to\mathbb{R}_+$ that satisfy the $(p,q)$-Jensen convexity inequality $$ f\big(H_p(x,y)\big)\leq H_q(f(x),f(y)) \qquad(x,y>0), $$ where $H_p$ stands for the…

An approach to the calculation of local canonical morphic heights is described, motivated by the analogy between the classical height in Diophantine geometry and entropy in algebraic dynamics. We consider cases where the local morphic…

We study metric properties of symmetric divergences on Hermitian positive definite matrices. In particular, we prove that the square root of these divergences is a distance metric. As a corollary we obtain a proof of the metric property for…

In recent papers the convexity of quasiarithmetic means was characterized under twice differentiability assumptions. One of the main goals of this paper is to show that the convexity or concavity of a quasiarithmetic mean implies the the…

The axiomatization of harmonic measure theory is established, including the generalized maximum principle, Harnack inequality and Harnack principle. As the applications of the established theory, Dahlberg's theory is generalized. The theory…

This paper extends the asymmetric Kullback-Leibler divergence and symmetric Jensen-Shannon divergence from two probability measures to the case of two sets of probability measures. We establish some fundamental properties of these…

We generalize the box and observable distances to those between metric measure spaces with group actions, and prove some fundamental properties. As an application, we obtain an example of a sequence of lens spaces with unbounded dimension…

We consider symmetric Dirichlet forms on locally compact and non-locally compact spaces and provide an elementary proof for their closability with respect to energy dominant measures. We also discuss how to use known potential theoretic…

Jensen's inequality, attributed to Johan Jensen -- a Danish mathematician and engineer noted for his contributions to the theory of functions -- is a ubiquitous result in convex analysis, providing a fundamental lower bound for the…

We show that the set of max-plus measures representing a given max-plus harmonic vector has a least element. This may be viewed as an analogue of the uniqueness of the integral representation of harmonic functions in Potential Theory. As an…

A topological measure on a locally compact space is a set function on open and closed subsets which is finitely additive on the collection of open and compact sets, inner regular on open sets, and outer regular on closed sets. Almost all…

We study the flexibility of the pressure function of a continuous potential (observable) with respect to a parameter regarded as the inverse temperature. The points of non-differentiability of this function are of particular interest in…

We introduce a synthetic approach to global pluripotential theory, covering in particular the case of a compact K\"ahler manifold and that of a projective Berkovich space over a non-Archimedean field. We define and study the space of…

In this note we prove Jensen-type inequality for certain non-convex functions. We apply our idea to prove some inequalities which were suggested at some high-level math olympiades.

Magnitude is a numerical invariant of finite metric spaces, recently introduced by T. Leinster, which is analogous in precise senses to the cardinality of finite sets or the Euler characteristic of topological spaces. It has been extended…
