We study the absolute continuity of the convolution $\delta_{e^X}^\natural \star \delta_{e^Y}^\natural$ of two orbital measures on the symmetric space $SO_0(p,q)/SO(p)\timesSO(q)$, $q>p$. We prove sharp conditions on $X$, $Y\in\a$ for the…

We characterize the absolute continuity of convolution products of orbital measures on the classical, irreducible Riemannian symmetric spaces $G/K$ of Cartan type $III$, where $G$ is a non-compact, connected Lie group and $K$ is a compact,…

Let $G/K$ be an irreducible symmetric space where $G$ is a non-compact, connected Lie group and $K$ is a compact, connected subgroup. We use decay properties of the spherical functions to show that the convolution product of any $r=r(G/K)$…

We prove that all convolution products of pairs of continuous orbital measures in rank one, compact symmetric spaces are absolutely continuous and determine which convolution products are in $L^{2}$ (meaning, their density function is in…

It is well known that if $G/K$ is any irreducible symmetric space and $\mu _{a}$ is a continuous orbital measure supported on the double coset $KaK,$ then the convolution product, $\mu _{a}^{k},$ is absolutely continuous for some suitably…

Let $G$ be a compact Lie group of Lie type $B_{n},$ such as $SO(2n+1)$. We characterize the tuples\ $(x_{1},...,x_{L})$ of the elements $x_{j}\in G$ which have the property that the product of their conjugacy classes has non-empty interior.…

Let $G$ be a non-compact group, $K$ the compact subgroup fixed by a Cartan involution and assume $G/K$ is an exceptional, symmetric space, one of Cartan type $E,F $ or $G$. We find the minimal integer, $L(G),$ such that any convolution…

Multiplicative convolution $\mu \ast \nu$ of two finite signed measures $\mu$ and $\nu$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$ and a related product $\mu \circledast \nu$ on the sphere $S^{n-1}$ are studied. For fixed $\mu$ the injectivity in $\nu$ of both…

We prove for the square Fibonacci Hamiltonian that the density of states measure is absolutely continuous for almost all pairs of small coupling constants. This is obtained from a new result we establish about the absolute continuity of…

We let U=SU(2) and K=SO(2) and denote N_{U}(K) the normalizer of K in U. For a an element of U\ N_{U} (K), we let \mu_{a} be the normalized singular measure supported in KaK. For p a positive integer, it was proved that \mu_{a}^{( p)}, the…

We give a condition for absolute continuity of self-similar measures in arbitrary dimensions. This allows us to construct the first explicit absolutely continuous examples of inhomogeneous self-similar measures in dimension one and two. In…

We prove that a self similar measure is absolutely continuous providing that it satisfies a condition depending on its Garsia entropy, contraction ratio, and the separation between different points in approximations of the self similar…

We show that in many parametrized families of self-similar measures, their projections, and their convolutions, the set of parameters for which the measure fails to be absolutely continuous is very small - of co-dimension at least one in…

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 consider the tidal interaction of a fully convective primary star and a point mass. Using a normal mode decomposition we calculate the evolution of the primary angular velocity and orbit for arbitrary eccentricity e. The dissipation…

Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ be an open set whose boundary may be composed of pieces of different dimensions. Assume that $\Omega$ satisfies the quantitative openness and connectedness, and there exist doubling measures $m$ on…

Let $\mathbb{S} \subset \mathbb{C}$ be the circle in the plane, and let $\Omega: \mathbb{S} \to \mathbb{S}$ be an odd bi-Lipschitz map with constant $1+\delta_\Omega$, where $\delta_\Omega>0$ is small. Assume also that $\Omega$ is twice…

For rank 1 flat symmetric spaces, continuous orbital measures admit absolutely continuous convolution squares, except for Cartan type AI. Hence $L^1$-$L^2$ dichotomy for these spaces holds true in parallel to the compact and non-compact…
