Let $X=\{ X_n\}_{n\in \mathbb{Z}}$ be zero-mean stationary Gaussian sequence of random variables with covariance function $\rho$ satisfying $\rho(0)=1$. Let $\varphi:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$ be a function such that…

In this work we study a modification of the Monge-Kantorovich problem taking into account path dependence and interaction effects between particles. We prove existence of solutions under mild conditions on the data, and after imposing…

Motivated by conjectures in Mirror Symmetry, we continue the study of the real Monge--Amp\`ere operator on the boundary of a simplex. This can be formulated in terms of optimal transport, and we consider, more generally, the problem of…

We will show that if $\sM$ is a factor, then for any pair $\f, \p\in\sMdsup$ of normal positive linear functionals on $\sM$, the inequality: $$ \lrnorm{\f}\leq \lrnorm{\p} $$ is equivalent to the fact that there exist a countable family…

A conjecture of Kadison and Kastler from 1972 asks whether sufficiently close operator algebras in a natural uniform sense must be small unitary perturbations of one another. For $n\geq 3$ and a free ergodic probability measure preserving…

We establish a dimension-free improvement of Talagrand's Gaussian transport-entropy inequality, under the assumption that the measures satisfy a Poincar\'e inequality. We also study stability of the inequality, in terms of relative entropy,…

We investigate the properties of convex functions in the plane that satisfy a local inequality which generalizes the notion of sub-solution of Monge-Ampere equation for a Monge-Kantorovich problem with quadratic cost between non-absolutely…

Let X be a compact Kaehler manifold of complex dimension n. Let G be a connected solvable subgroup of the automorphism group Aut(X), and let N(G) be the normal subgroup of G of elements of null entropy. One of the goals of this paper is to…

In a recent article (2022) we proved with L. Zaj\'i\v{c}ek that if $ G\subset\R^n $ is an unbounded open convex set that does not contain a translation of a convex cone with non-empty interior, then there exist $ f:G\to\R $ and a concave…

In this paper, it is shown (using the NP-spin coefficient formalism) that the MOTS eigenvalue problem can be formulated - for certain classes of geometric models in GR - such that the MOTS stability operator takes a self-adjoint form,…

We present a relativistic formulation of noncommutative mechanics were the object of noncommutativity $\theta^{\mu\nu}$ is considered as an independent quantity. Its canonical conjugate momentum is also introduced, what permits to obtain an…

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 $\xi_1$, $\xi_2$, $\xi_3$ be independent random variables with nonvanishing characteristic functions, and $a_j$, $b_j$ be real numbers such that $a_i/b_i\ne a_j/b_j$ for $i\ne j$. Let $L_1=a_1\xi_1+a_2\xi_2+a_3\xi_3$,…

The basic problem of optimal transportation consists in minimizing the expected costs $\mathbb {E}[c(X_1,X_2)]$ by varying the joint distribution $(X_1,X_2)$ where the marginal distributions of the random variables $X_1$ and $X_2$ are…

We extend some of the results of Agler, Knese, and McCarthy [1] to $n$-tuples of commuting isometries for $n>2$. Let $\mathbb{V}=(V_1,\dots,V_n)$ be an $n$-tuple of a commuting isometries on a Hilbert space and let Ann$(\mathbb{V})$ denote…

In this paper we propose and study a class of nonparametric, yet interpretable measures of association between two random vectors $X$ and $Y$ taking values in $\mathbb{R}^{d_1}$ and $\mathbb{R}^{d_2}$ respectively ($d_1, d_2\ge 1$). These…

We study Monge's optimal transportation problem, where the cost is given by optimal control cost. We prove the existence and uniqueness of an optimal map under certain regularity conditions on the Lagrangian, absolute continuity of the…

We give necessary and sufficient conditions for joint ergodicity results of collections of sequences with respect to systems of commuting measure preserving transformations. Combining these results with a new technique that we call…

We give a new proof of a result of Ozawa showing that if a von Neumann subalgebra $Q$ of a free group factor $L\Bbb F_n, 2\leq n\leq \infty$ has relative commutant diffuse (i.e. without atoms), then $Q$ is amenable.

An arbitrary homomorphism between groups is nonincreasing for stable commutator length, and there are infinitely many (injective) homomorphisms between free groups which strictly decrease the stable commutator length of some elements.…
