If cf(kappa) = kappa, kappa^+< cf(lambda) = \lambda, then there is a stationary subset S of {delta<lambda:cf(delta)=kappa} in I[lambda]. Moreover, we can find <C_delta :delta in S>, C_delta a club of lambda, otp(C_delta)=kappa, guessing…
We review the author's results on Mather's $\beta$ function : non-strict convexity of $\beta$ when the configuration space has dimension two, link between the size of the Aubry set and the differentiability of $\beta$, correlation between…
We introduce new families of cylindric symmetric functions as subcoalgebras in the ring of symmetric functions $\Lambda$ (viewed as a Hopf algebra) which have non-negative structure constants. Combinatorially these cylindric symmetric…
In this paper we construct a family of holomorphic functions $\beta_\lambda (s)$ which are solutions to the asymptotic tetration equation. Each $\beta_\lambda$ satisfies the functional relationship ${\displaystyle \beta_\lambda(s+1) =…
We define centrally large subalgebras of simple unital C*-algebras, strengthening the definition of large subalgebras in previous work. We prove that if A is any infinite dimensional simple separable unital C*-algebra which contains a…
Let $G$ be a connected compact group equipped with the normalised Haar measure $\mu$. Our first result shows that given $\alpha, \beta>0$, there is a constant $c = c(\alpha,\beta)>0$ such that for any compact sets $A,B\subseteq G$ with $…
Let $E$ be a real vector space with dual space $E^*$ and let $C\subset E$ be a convex subset with more than one point. Let $f : C\to\mathbb{R}$ be a function satisfying a mild stability property at 'flat' points of the (relative) boundary…
Let $C_1$ and $C_2$ be two Cantor sets with convex hull $[0,1]$. Newhouse proved if $\tau(C_1)\cdot \tau(C_2)\geq 1$, then the arithmetic sum $C_1+C_2$ is an interval, where $\tau(C_i), 1\leq i\leq 2$ denotes the thickness of $C_i$. In this…
We prove that manifold constrained $p(x)$-harmonic maps are $C^{1,\beta}$-regular outside a set of zero $n$-dimensional Lebesgue's measure, for some $\beta \in (0,1)$. We also provide an estimate from above of the Hausdorff dimension of the…
Several important conjectures in Fractal Geometry can be summarised as follows: If the dimension of a self-similar measure in $\mathbb{R}$ does not equal its expected value, then the underlying iterated function system contains an exact…
F. Wehrung has asked: Given a family $\mathcal{C}$ of subsets of a set $\Omega$, under what conditions will there exist a total ordering on $\Omega$ under which every member of $\mathcal{C}$ is convex? <p> Note that if $A$ and $B$ are…
Given $\lambda\in(0, 1)$, let $E_\lambda$ be the self-similar set generated by the iterated function system $\{x/3,(x+\lambda)/3,(x+2)/3\}$. Then $E_\lambda$ is a self-similar set with overlaps. We obtain the necessary and sufficient…
Given $f \in C_0(\mathbb{R}^n)$ and $\Lambda \subset \mathbb{R}^{2n}$ a finite set we demonstrate the linear independence of the set of time-frequency translates $\mathcal{G}(f, \Lambda) = \{\pi(\lambda)f\}_{\lambda\in \Lambda}$ when the…
Here is a sample of the results proved in this paper: Let $f:{\bf R}\to {\bf R}$ be a continuous function, let $\rho>0$ and let $\omega:[0,\rho[\to [0,+\infty[$ be a continuous increasing function such that $\lim_{\xi\to…
S. Baker (2019), B. B\'ar\'any and A. K\"{a}enm\"{a}ki (2019) independently showed that there exist iterated function systems without exact overlaps and there are super-exponentially close cylinders at all small levels. We adapt the method…
Consider two objects associated to the Iterated Function System (IFS) $\{1+\lambda z,-1+\lambda z\}$: the locus $\mathcal{M}$ of parameters $\lambda\in\mathbb{D}\setminus\{0\}$ for which the corresponding attractor is connected; and the…
We show that under natural technical conditions, the sum of a $C^2$ dynamically defined Cantor set with a compact set in most cases (for almost all parameters) has positive Lebesgue measure, provided that the sum of the Hausdorff dimensions…
In this paper, we completely solve the problem when a Cantor dynamical system $(X,f)$ can be embedded in $\mathbb{R}$ with vanishing derivative everywhere. For this purpose, we construct a refining sequence of marked clopen partitions of…
We introduce a natural way to construct a random subset of a homogeneous Cantor set $C$ in $[0,1]$ via random labelings of an infinite $M$-ary tree, where $M\geq 2$. The Cantor set $C$ is the attractor of an equicontractive iterated…
We prove that for any function $f$ satisfying certain mild conditions and any Cantor set $K$ with Newhouse thickness greater than $1$, there exists $x\in K$ and $t>0$ such that \[ \{x-t,x,x+f(t)\}\subset K. \] This is an extension of…
