The ternary Cantor set $\mathcal{C}$, constructed by George Cantor in 1883, is the best known example of a perfect nowhere-dense set in the real line. The present article we study the basic properties $\mathcal{C}$ and also study in detail…

We extend the classical van der Corput inequality to the real line. As a consequence, we obtain a simple proof of the Wiener-Wintner theorem for the $\mathbb{R}$-action which assert that for any family of maps $(T_t)_{t \in \mathbb{R}}$…

We study some variants of the Erd\H{o}s similarity problem. We pose the question if every measurable subset of the real line with positive measure contains a similar copy of an infinite geometric progression. We construct a compact subset…

We prove a refined version of the celebrated Lusin type theorem for gradients by Alberti, stating that any Borel vector field $f$ coincides with the gradient of a $C^1$ function $g$, outside a set $E$ of arbitrarily small Lebesgue measure.…

The concept of a uniform set is introduced for an ergodic, measure-preserving transformation on a non-atomic, infinite Lebesgue space. The uniform sets exist as much as they generate the underlying $\sigma$-algebra. This leads to the result…

In this article, we conduct a detailed study of \emph{finitely additive measures} (fams) in the context of Boolean algebras, focusing on three specific topics: freeness and approximation, existence and extension criteria, and integration…

Measurement in quantum mechanics is generally described as an irreversible process that perturbs the wavefunction describing a quantum system. In this work we establish a formal connection between the measurement description within the…

We show that for the generic continuous maps of the interval and circle which preserve the Lebesgue measure it holds for each k $\ge$ 1 that the set of periodic points of period k is a Cantor set of Hausdorff dimension zero and of upper box…

A now classical result in the theory of variable Lebesgue spaces due to Lerner [A. K. Lerner, On modular inequalities in variable $L^p$ spaces, Archiv der Math. 85 (2005), no. 6, 538-543] is that a modular inequality for the…

We explore the interaction between Lebesgue measure and dominating functions. We show, via both a priority construction and a forcing construction, that there is a function of incomplete degree that dominates almost all degrees. This…

Let $\mathcal{M}(X,\mathcal{A},\mu)$ be the ring of all real-valued measurable functions constructed over a measure space $(X,\mathcal{A},\mu)$. A topology on $\mathcal{M}(X,\mathcal{A},\mu)$, called the {$F_\mu$-topology} weaker than the {…

For a transcendental entire function $f$ of finite order in the Eremenko-Lyubich class $\mathcal{B}$, we give conditions under which the Lebesgue measure of the escaping set $\mathcal{I}(f)$ of $f$ is zero. This is inspired by the recent…

A classical theorem of Menshov states that every measurable function can redefined on a set of arbitrarily small Lebesgue measure, so that the resulting function has uniformly convergent Fourier series. We prove that the same is true if we…

The classic middle-thirds Cantor set leads to a singular continuous measure via a distribution function that is know as the Devil's staircase. The support of the Cantor measure is a set of zero Lebesgue measure. Here, we discuss a class of…

The Jordan decomposition theorem states that every function $f \colon [0,1] \to \mathbb{R}$ of bounded variation can be written as the difference of two non-decreasing functions. Combining this fact with a result of Lebesgue, every function…

We utilize Gaussian measure preserving systems to prove the existence and genericity of Lebesgue measure preserving transformations $T:[0,1]\rightarrow [0,1]$ which exhibit both mixing and rigidity behavior along families of asymptotically…

Let $(\mathcal{X}, \rho, \mu)$ be a metric measure space of homogeneous type which supports a certain Poincar\'e inequality. Denote by the symbol $\mathcal{C}_{\mathrm{c}}^\ast(\mathcal{X})$ the space of all continuous functions $f$ with…

We construct and study the one-parameter semigroup of $\sigma$-finite measures ${\cal L}^{\theta}$, $\theta>0$, on the space of Schwartz distributions that have an infinite-dimensional abelian group of linear symmetries; this group is a…

The Riesz-Markov theorem identifies any positive, finite, and regular Borel measure on the complex unit circle with a positive linear functional on the continuous functions. By the Weierstrass approximation theorem, the continuous functions…

A well known theorem due to Koksma states that for Lebesgue almost every $x>1$ the sequence $(x^n)_{n=1}^{\infty}$ is uniformly distributed modulo one. In this paper we give sufficient conditions for an analogue of this theorem to hold for…
