The purpose of this note is twofold. In the first part we observe that two finitely generated non-amenable groups are quasi-isometric if and only if they admit topologically orbit equivalent Cantor minimal actions. In particular, free…

The question of how irreversibility can emerge as a generic phenomena when the underlying mechanical theory is reversible has been a long-standing fundamental problem for both classical and quantum mechanics. We describe a mechanism for the…

For each integer $n\ge 1$, denote by $T_{n}$ the map $x\mapsto nx\mod 1$ from the circle group $\mathbb{T} = \mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}$ into itself. Let $p,q\ge 2$ be two multiplicatively independent integers. Using Baire Category arguments, we…

In general, a quantum measurement yields an undetermined answer and alters the system to be consistent with the measurement result. This process maps multiple initial states into a single state and thus cannot be reversed. This has…

Nazarov, Peres and Volberg proved recently that the Favard length of the $n$-th iteration of the four-corner Cantor set is bounded from above by $n^{-c}$ for an appropriate $c$. We generalize this result to all product Cantor sets whose…

This paper is concerned with the inverse medium problem of determining the location and shape of penetrable scattering objects from measurements of the scattered field. We study a sampling indicator function for recovering the scattering…

Combinatorial discrepancy is a complexity measure of a collection of sets which quantifies how well the sets in the collection can be simultaneously balanced. More precisely, we are given an n-point set $P$, and a collection $\mathcal{F} =…

Quantum experiments yield random data. We show that the most efficient way to store this empirical information by a finite number of bits is by means of the vector of square roots of observed relative frequencies. This vector has the unique…

Let $X$ be a measure space and $T:X\to X$ a measurable transformation. For any measurable $E\subseteq X$ and $x\in E$, the possibly infinite return time is $n_E(x):=\inf\{n>0: T^n x\in E\}$. If $T$ is an ergodic tranformation of the…

Suppose $\{f_1,...,f_m\}$ is a set of Lipschitz maps of $\mathbb{R}^d$. We form the iterated function system (IFS) by independently choosing the maps so that the map $f_i$ is chosen with probability $p_i$ ($\sum_{i=1}^m p_i=1$). We assume…

We survey four instances of the Fourier analytic 'transference principle' or 'dense model lemma', which allows one to approximate an unbounded function on the integers by a bounded function with similar Fourier transform. Such a result…

We consider abstract inverse problems between infinite-dimensional Banach spaces. These inverse problems are typically nonlinear and ill-posed, making the inversion with limited and noisy measurements a delicate process. In this work, we…

The Robinson-Schensted correspondence can be viewed as a map from permutations to partitions. In this work, we study the number of inversions of permutations corresponding to a fixed partition $\lambda$ under this map. Hohlweg characterized…

We propose an inverse-design approach for computational spectrometers in which the scattering media are topology-optimized to achieve better performance in inference of unknown spectra. Unlike traditional end-to-end approaches, our inverse…

In this paper, we develop a general theory of truncated inverse binomial sampling. In this theory, the fixed-size sampling and inverse binomial sampling are accommodated as special cases. In particular, the classical Chernoff-Hoeffding…

We study qualitative properties of the set of recurrent points of finitely generated free semigroups of measurable maps. In the case of a single generator the classical Poincare recurrence theorem shows that these properties are closely…

This paper provides a construction of an uncountable family of i.i.d. random vectors, indexed by the points of a nonatomic measure space, such that (a) a sample is a measurable function from the index space, and (b) an idealization of the…

We consider the Bayesian approach to the inverse problem of recovering the shape of an object from measurements of its scattered acoustic field. Working in the time-harmonic setting, we focus on a Helmholtz transmission problem and then…

We present a self-contained proof of a formula for the $L^q$ dimensions of self-similar measures on the real line under exponential separation (up to the proof of an inverse theorem for the $L^q$ norm of convolutions). This is a special…

Recently, mass transference principles in metric number theory extend towards two direction. On one hand, the shape of the approximating sets can be taken of various shape, balls, rectangles or even general open sets (one refers to some…
