We study the question, ``For which reals $x$ does there exist a measure $\mu$ such that $x$ is random relative to $\mu$?'' We show that for every nonrecursive $x$, there is a measure which makes $x$ random without concentrating on $x$. We…

Consider a finite-dimensional algebra $A$ and any of its moduli spaces $\mathcal{M}(A,\mathbf{d})^{ss}_{\theta}$ of representations. We prove a decomposition theorem which relates any irreducible component of…

There has not been an established mathematical measure of evidence. Some Bayesians have argued that probability can be an objectively correct measure of ``rational degrees of belief,'' which we do not distinguish from evidence. However,…

We investigate commutators of free variables of the form \( i[x, s] \), where \( s \) is a semicircular element. We show that although \( s \) and \( i[x, s] \) are not free, their sum nevertheless satisfies the free additive convolution…

Let $f$ be a $C^{1+\alpha}$ diffeomorphism of a compact manifold $M$ preserving a smooth measure $\mu$. We show that if $f:(M,\mu)\to (M,\mu)$ is exponentially mixing then it is Bernoulli.

We prove that any complete metric space has a unique decomposition as a direct product of a possibly finite or zero-dimensional Hilbert space and a space that does not split off lines.

We formulate and discuss a necessary and sufficient condition for polynomials to be dense in a space of continuous functions on the real line, with respect to Bernstein's weighted uniform norm. Equivalently, for a positive finite measure…

Early results by Borel and Cantelli and Erd\H{o}s and Chung have provided bounds for the measure of a limsup set in terms of measures of its constituent sets and their intersections. Recent work by Beresnevich and Velani \cite{Velanipaper}…

In a sequence of four papers, we prove the following results (via a unified approach) for all sufficiently large $n$: (i) [1-factorization conjecture] Suppose that $n$ is even and $D\geq 2\lceil n/4\rceil -1$. Then every $D$-regular graph…

In a metric space $(X,d)$ we reconstruct an approximation of a Borel measure $\mu$ starting from a premeasure $q$ defined on the collection of closed balls, and such that $q$ approximates the values of $\mu$ on these balls. More precisely,…

Let $X\subset \mathbb{C}^n$ be a smooth irreducible affine variety of dimension $k$ and let $F: X\to \mathbb{C}^m$ be a polynomial mapping. We prove that if $m\ge k$, then there is a Zariski open dense subset $U$ in the space of linear…

Given any polynomial $p$ in $C[X]$, we show that the set of irreducible matrices satisfying $p(A)=0$ is finite. In the specific case $p(X)=X^2-nX$, we count the number of irreducible matrices in this set and analyze the arising sequences…
