Let P -> M be a principal G-bundle. Using techniques from the loop representation of gauge theory, we construct well-defined substitutes for ``Lebesgue measure'' on the space A of connections on P and for ``Haar measure'' on the group Ga of…

We prove that static, spherically symmetric, asymptotically flat, regular solutions of the Einstein-Yang-Mills equations are unstable for arbitrary gauge groups, at least for the ``generic" case. This conclusion is derived without explicit…

Let $G$ be a locally compact second countable group equipped with an admissible non-degenerate Borel probability measure $\mu$. We generalize the notion of $\mu$-stationary systems to $\mu$-stationary $G$-factor maps $\pi: (X,\nu)\to…

We show that there is an absolute $c>0$ such that any subset of $\mathbb{F}_2^\infty$ of size $N$ is $O(N^{1-c})$-stable in the sense of Terry and Wolf. By contrast a size $N$ arithmetic progression in the integers is not $N$-stable.

We show that every fsg group externally definable in an NIP structure is definably isomorphic to a group interpretable in it. Our proof relies on honest definitions and a group chunk result reconstructing a hyper-definable group from its…

Given a space $X$, a $\sigma$-algebra $\mathfrak{B}$ on $X$ and a measurable map $T:X \to X$, we say that a measure $\mu$ is half-invariant if, for any $B \in \mathfrak{B}$, we have $\mu(T^{-1}(B)\leq \mu (B)$. In this note we present a…

We consider an arbitrary topological group $G$ definable in a structure $\mathcal M$, such that some basis for the topology of $G$ consists of sets definable in $\mathcal M$. To each such group $G$ we associate a compact $G$-space of…

Consider a H\"older continuous potential $\phi$ defined on the full shift $A^\nn$, where $A$ is a finite alphabet. Let $X\subset A^\nn$ be a specified sofic subshift. It is well-known that there is a unique Gibbs measure $\mu_\phi$ on $X$…

The following theorem is proved: Let $G$ be a finite group and $\pi_e(G)$ be the set of element orders in $G$. If $\pi_e(G) \cap \{2\}=\emptyset$; or $\pi_e(G) \cap \{3, 4\}=\emptyset$; or $\pi_e(G) \cap \{3,5\}=\emptyset$, then $G$ is…

We solve two problems from the paper "On maximal stable quotients of definable groups in NIP theories" by M. Haskel and A. Pillay, which concern maximal stable quotients of groups type-definable in NIP theories. The first result says that…

We initiate a systematic study of the convolution operation on Keisler measures, generalizing the work of Newelski in the case of types. Adapting results of Glicksberg, we show that the supports of generically stable (or just definable,…

We introduce and study adhesive spaces. Using this concept we obtain a characterization of stable Baire maps $f:X\to Y$ of the class $\alpha$ for wide classes of topological spaces. In particular, we prove that for a topological space $X$…

Let $G$ be a locally compact group and $\mu$ an admissible probability measure on $G$. Let $(B,\nu)$ be the universal topological Poisson $\mu$-boundary of $(G,\mu)$ and $\Pi_s(G)$ the universal minimal strongly proximal $G$-flow. This note…

Let $f$ and $g$ be two volume preserving, Anosov diffeomorphisms on $\mathbb{T}^2$, sharing common stable and unstable cones. In this paper, we find conditions for the existence of (dissipative) neighborhoods of $f$ and $g$, $\mathcal{U}_f$…

Let $f$ be a measurable, real function defined in a neighbourhood of infinity. The function $f$ is said to be of generalised regular variation if there exist functions $h \not\equiv 0$ and $g > 0$ such that $f(xt) - f(t) = h(x) g(t) +…

We prove that a wide Morley sequence in a wide generically stable type is isometric to the standard basis of an $\ell_p$ space for some $p$.

A sofic group $G$ is said to be flexibly stable if every sofic approximation to $G$ can converted to a sequence of disjoint unions of Schreier graphs by modifying an asymptotically vanishing proportion of edges. We establish that if…

We show that if $G$ is a discrete Abelian group and $A \subset G$ has $\|1_A\|_{B(G)} \leq M$ then $A$ is $O(\exp(\pi M))$-stable in the sense of Terry and Wolf.

We prove that in every variety of $G$-groups, every $G$-existentially closed element satisfies nullstellensatz for finite consistent systems of equations. This will generalize {\bf Theorem G} of \cite{BMR1}. As a result we see that every…

We prove two theorems in the ergodic theory of infinite permutation groups. First, generalizing a theorem of Nessonov for the infinite symmetric group, we show that every non-singular action of a non-archimedean, Roelcke precompact, Polish…
