If $G$ is a group, we say a subset $S$ of $G$ is product-free if the equation $xy=z$ has no solutions with $x,y,z \in S$. For $D \in \mathbb{N}$, a group $G$ is said to be $D$-quasirandom if the minimal dimension of a nontrivial complex…
We investigate convolution semigroups of probability measures with continuous densities on locally compact abelian groups, which have a discrete subgroup such that the factor group is compact. Two interesting examples of the quotient…
Say that a finite group $G$ is mixable if a product of random elements, each chosen independently from two options, can distribute uniformly on $G$. We present conditions and obstructions to mixability. We show that $2$-groups, the…
The superconvergence phenomenon is shown for products of free, identically distributed random variables. We also show that a certain Holder regularity, first demonstrated by Biane for the density of a free additive convolution with a…
We introduce the notion of proper proximality for finite von Neumann algebras, which naturally extends the notion of proper proximality for groups. Apart from the group von Neumann algebras of properly proximal groups, we provide a number…
We study the probability that the product of two randomly chosen elements in a finite ring $R$ is equal to some fixed element $x \in R$. We calculate this probability for semisimple rings and some special classes of local rings, and find…
Let $P$ be a probability on a finite group $G$, ${P^{(n)}}$ $n$-fold convolution of $P$ on $G$. Under mild condition, ${P^{(n)}}$ at $n \to \infty $ converges to the uniform probability on the group $G$. If $A = \left\{ {g \in G,\;P\left( g…
Gowers introduced, for d\geq 1, the notion of dimension-d uniformity U^d(f) of a function f: G -> \C, where G is a finite abelian group and \C are the complex numbers. Roughly speaking, if U^d(f) is small, then f has certain…
Loop groups G as families of mappings of the complex manifold M into another complex manifold N preserving marked points $s_0\in M$ and $y_0\in N$ are investigated. Quasi-invariant measures $\mu $ on G relative to dense subgroups $G'$ are…
Lecture notes as per the title. In the first part, the concepts of a measurable space, measurable maps between measurable spaces and that of a measure on a measurable space are introduced, after which the fundamentals of the theory of…
We introduce the notion of uniform exactness, or uniform amenability at infinity, for discrete groups and prove it for a wide class of groups containing free groups and their limit groups. This shows a novel strong convergence phenomenon…
Mixture models are commonly used in applications with heterogeneity and overdispersion in the population, as they allow the identification of subpopulations. In the Bayesian framework, this entails the specification of suitable prior…
When the distribution of the inter-arrival times of a renewal process is a mixture of geometric laws, we prove that the renewal function of the process is given by the moments of a probability measure which is explicitly related to the…
It is known to experts that certain regular inclusions of von Neumann algebras arise as crossed products with cocycle actions of the canonical quotient groupoids associated with the inclusions. Similarly, `strongly normal' inclusions of…
We study the distribution of products of conjugacy classes in finite simple groups, obtaining various effective uniformity results, which give rise to an approximation to a conjecture of Thompson. Our results, combined with work of Gowers…
In this paper (propositional) probability logic ($PL$) is investigated from model theoretic point of view. First of all, the ultraproduct construction is adapted for $\sigma$-additive probability models, and subsequently when this class of…
We provide sufficient conditions for two subgroups of a hierarchically hyperbolic group to generate an amalgamated free product over their intersection. The result applies in particular to certain geometric subgroups of mapping class groups…
A metric measure space is a complete separable metric space equipped with probability measure that has full support. Two such spaces are equivalent if they are isometric as metric spaces via an isometry that maps the probability measure on…
We generalize the notion of weakly mixing unitary representations to locally compact quantum groups, introducing suitable extensions of all standard characterizations of weak mixing to this setting. These results are used to complement the…
Suppose G is a connected, simple, real Lie group with real rank at least two, M is an ergodic G-space with invariant probability measure, and f is a Homeo(T)-valued Borel cocycle, where Homeo(T) denotes the group of homeomorphisms of the…
