The questions of the measure and finding open intervals in certain sets of sums and products of elements of the middle third Cantor set (or a variant of it), have generated considerable interest recently. A broad general framework that…
We study the problem of constructing positive representations of complex measures. In this paper we consider complex densities on a direct product of $U(1)$ groups and look for representations by probability distributions on the…
In repeated Measure Designs with multiple groups, the primary purpose is to compare different groups in various aspects. For several reasons, the number of measurements and therefore the dimension of the observation vectors can depend on…
We study a class of simple dimension groups in which the cyclic subgroup generated by the order unit is replaced by a copy of $\mathbb{Z}^{2}$ satisfying some strict conditions. Our main results are necessary and sufficient conditions on a…
We answer a question of Goodearl, by constructing for every metrizable Choquet simplex, a dimension group that is simple and archimedean and whose trace space is the desired Choquet simplex.
We prove that there exists a dimension group $G$ whose positive cone is not isomorphic to the dimension monoid Dim$L$ of any lattice $L$. The dimension group $G$ has an order-unit, and can be taken of any cardinality greater than or equal…
We introduce several approaches to studying the Cantor-Bendixson decomposition of and the dynamics on the (topological) space of subgroups for various families of countable groups. In particular, we uncover the perfect kernel and the…
In recent work, Harman and Snowden introduced a notion of measure on a Fra\"iss\'e class $\mathfrak{F}$, and showed how such measures lead to interesting tensor categories. Constructing and classifying measures is a difficult problem, and…
This paper provides a new approach to proving generalizations of the F.&M. Riesz Theorem, for example, the result of Helson and Lowdenslager, the result of Forelli (and de Leeuw and Glicksberg), and more recent results of Yamagushi. We…
\noindent Let $A$ be an arbitrary $C^*$ algebra. In \cite{BH} Blackadar and Handelman conjectured the set of lower semicontinuous dimension functions on $A$ to be pointwise dense in the set $DF(A)$ of all dimension functions on $A$ and…
We prove many new cases of Zimmer's conjecture for actions by lattices in non-$\mathbb{R}$-split semisimple Lie groups $G$. By prior arguments, Zimmer's conjecture reduces to studying certain probability measures invariant under a minimal…
In the paper, we study the generalized $q$-dimensions of measures supported by nonautonomous attractors, which are the generalization of classic Moran sets and attractors of iterated function systems. First, we estimate the generalized…
We approach the hidden subgroup problem by performing the so-called pretty good measurement on hidden subgroup states. For various groups that can be expressed as the semidirect product of an abelian group and a cyclic group, we show that…
We define for arbitrary modules over a finite von Neumann algebra $\cala$ a dimension taking values in $[0,\infty]$ which extends the classical notion of von Neumann dimension for finitely generated projective $\cala$-modules and inherits…
We establish a generic formula for the generalised q-dimensions of measures supported by almost self-affine sets, for all q>1. These q-dimensions may exhibit phase transitions as q varies. We first consider general measures and then…
By previous work of Giordano and the author, ergodic actions of $\Z$ (and other discrete groups) are completely classified measure-theoretically by their dimension space, a construction analogous to the dimension group used in C*-algebras…
We consider a class of non-locally compact groups on which one may define a left-invariant, finitely additive measure taking values in some finitely generated extension of the field $\mathbb{R}$ of real numbers. In particular, we recover…
We propose here a multidimensional generalisation of the notion of link introduced in our previous papers and we discuss some consequences for simplicial measures and sums of function algebras.
The main aim of the paper is to introduce a new class of (semigroup-valued) measures that are ultrahomogeneous on the Boolean algebra of all clopen subsets of the Cantor space and to study their automorphism groups. A characterisation, in…
Given a subset $A$ of $\mathbb{R}^n$, we define \begin{align*} \mathrm{conv}_k(A) := \left\{ \lambda_1 s_1 + \cdots + \lambda_k s_k : \lambda_i \in [0,1], \sum_{i=1}^k \lambda_i = 1 , s_i \in A \right\} \end{align*} to be the set of vectors…
