We obtain for the Kempner series (i.e. harmonic series where certain digits are excluded from all denominators, for example the digit 9 in base 10) new representations as geometrically convergent series. The coefficients for these…

We show that, for the space of Borel probability measures on a Borel subset of a Polish metric space, the extreme points of the Prokhorov, Monge-Wasserstein and Kantorovich metric balls about a measure whose support has at most n points,…

Let $Q$ denote the space of signed measures on the Borel $\sigma$-algebra of a separable complete space $X$. We endow $Q$ with the norm $\|q\|=\sup|\int\phi dq|$, where the supremum is taken over all Lipschitz with constant 1 functions…

We give a moment map interpretation of some relatively balanced metrics. As an application, we extend a result of S. K. Donaldson on constant scalar curvature K\"ahler metrics to the case of extremal metrics. Namely, we show that a given…

We give sufficient conditions for a parametrised family of probability measures on a Riemannian manifold with boundary to be represented by random maps of class $C^k$. The conditions allow for the probability densities to approach zero…

For a degree 2n real d-dimensional multisequence \beta^(2n) to have a representing measure, it is necessary for the associated moment matrix M(n) to be positive semidefinite and for the algebraic variety V = V(\beta) associated to \beta to…

Recovering probability measures from moments is a central theme in statistics and optimization. In particular, we focus on the recovery of measures from moments and pseudo-moments, which may come from solving the moment-SOS hierarchy in one…

The average result of a weak measurement of some observable $A$ can, under post-selection of the measured quantum system, exceed the largest eigenvalue of $A$. The nature of weak measurements, as well as the presence of post-selection and…
