Kifer, Peres and Weiss showed that the Bernoulli measures for the Gauss map $T(x)= \frac{1}{x} \mod 1$ satisfy a `dimension gap' meaning that for some $c>0$, $\sup_{\mathbf{p}} \dim \mu_{\mathbf{p}} <1-c$, where $\mu_{\mathbf{p}}$ denotes…

We introduce estimation and test procedures through divergence optimization for discrete or continuous parametric models. This approach is based on a new dual representation for divergences. We treat point estimation and tests for simple…

While finite non-commutative operator systems lie at the foundation of quantum measurement, they are also tools for understanding geometric iterations as used in the theory of iterated function systems (IFSs) and in wavelet analysis. Key is…

This paper extends the asymmetric Kullback-Leibler divergence and symmetric Jensen-Shannon divergence from two probability measures to the case of two sets of probability measures. We establish some fundamental properties of these…

Farkas' lemma is an ubiquitous tool in optimisation, as it provides necessary and sufficient conditions to have $b \in A(P)$, where $P$ is a closed convex cone, $A$ is a (continuous) linear mapping and $b$ is a fixed vector. The standard…

In this paper we take some classical ideas from commutative algebra, mostly ideas involving duality, and apply them in algebraic topology. To accomplish this we interpret properties of ordinary commutative rings in such a way that they can…

Recently a new approach to varying exponent $L^{p(\cdot)}$ space norms employing weak solutions to first order ordinary differential equations was initiated by the author. The duality of these ODE-determined $L^{p(\cdot)}$ spaces is…

Let E be a locally free, rank n bimodule over a smooth projective scheme X, and let A be the non-commutative symmetric algebra generated by E. We construct an internal Hom functor on the category of graded right A-modules. When E has rank…

Given a projective smooth curve $X$ over any field $k$, we discuss two notions of global $\mathbb{A}^1$ degree of a finite morphism of smooth curves $f: X \to \mathbb{P}^1_k$ satisfying certain conditions. One originates from computing the…

The families of $f$-divergences (e.g. the Kullback-Leibler divergence) and Integral Probability Metrics (e.g. total variation distance or maximum mean discrepancies) are widely used to quantify the similarity between probability…

This tutorial gives an overview of some of the basic techniques of measure theory. It includes a study of Borel sets and their generators for Polish and for analytic spaces, the weak topology on the space of all finite positive measures…

Let $\mu$ and $\nu$ be two non-degenerate finite signed Borel measures defined on a proper convex cone of $\mathbb{R}^n$. We prove that if all convolution powers of $\mu$ and $\nu$ are appropriately equal (and non-zero) on a proper concave…

We compare several notion of weak (modulus of) gradient in metric measure spaces. Using tools from optimal transportation theory we prove density in energy of Lipschitz maps independenly of doubling and Poincar\'e assumptions on the metric…

Given r>=n quasi-homogeneous polynomials in n variables, the existence of a certain duality is shown and explicited in terms of generalized Morley forms. This result, that can be seen as a generalization of [3,corollary 3.6.1.4] (where this…

A real number $x$ is normal with respect to an integer base $b \geq 2$ if its digit expansion in this base is ``equitable'', in the sense that for $k \geq 1$, every ordered sequence of $k$ digits from $\{0, 1, \ldots, b-1\}$ occurs in the…

Our purpose in this work is multifold. First, we provide general criteria for the finiteness of the projective and injective dimensions of a finite module $M$ over a (commutative) Noetherian ring $R$. Second, in the other direction, we…
