The aim of this paper is to introduce a group containing the mapping class groups of all genus zero surfaces. Roughly speaking, such a group is intended to be a discrete analogue of the diffeomorphism group of the circle. One defines indeed…

The Robbins-Siegmund theorem is one of the most important results in stochastic optimization, where it is widely used to prove the convergence of stochastic algorithms. We provide a quantitative version of the theorem, establishing a bound…

A proof of the continuous martingale convergence theorem is provided. It relies on a classical martingale inequality and the almost sure convergence of a uniformly bounded non-negative super-martingale, after a truncation argument.

Using the notion of proper Cantor colorings we prove the following theorem. For any countably infinite group $\Gamma$, there exists a free continuous action $\zeta: \Gamma \curvearrowright C$ on the Cantor set, which is universal in the…

In this paper, we investigate the Hausdorff measure of shrinking target sets in $\beta$-dynamical systems. These sets are dynamically defined in analogy to the classical theory of weighted and multiplicative approximation. While the…

We prove that every bounded, positive, irreducible, stochastically continuous semigroup on the space of bounded, measurable functions which is strong Feller, consists of kernel operators and possesses an invariant measure converges…

It is well known that the Riemann zeta function, as well as several other $L$-functions, is universal in the strip $1/2<\sigma<1$; this is certainly not true for $\sigma>1$. Answering a question of Bombieri and Ghosh, we give a simple…

Consider a sequence of polynomials of bounded degree evaluated in independent Gaussian, Gamma or Beta random variables. We show that, if this sequence converges in law to a nonconstant distribution, then (i) the limit distribution is…

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…

An expansion of a definably complete field either defines a discrete subring, or the image of a definable discrete set under a definable map is nowhere dense. As an application we show a definable version of Lebesgue's differentiation…

A pattern is called universal in another collection of sets, when every set in the collection contains some linear and translated copy of the original pattern. Paul Erd\H{o}s proposed a conjecture that no infinite set is universal in the…

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…

Positive $T$-martingales were developed as a general framework that extends the positive measure-valued martingales and are meant to model intermittent turbulence. We extend their scope by allowing the martingale to take complex values. We…

Given a compact metric space (X,d) equipped with a non-atomic, probability measure m and a real, positive decreasing function p we consider a `natural' class of limsup subsets La(p) of X. The classical limsup sets of `well approximable'…

We construct a class of homogeneous Cantor-Moran measures with all contraction ratios being reciprocal of integers, and prove that they are pointwise absolutely normal. Our approach relies on methods developed by Davenport, Erd{\H{o}}s, and…

We describe a simple machinery which translates results on algebraic sums of sets of reals into the corresponding results on their cartesian product. Some consequences are: 1. The product of a meager/null-additive set and a strong measure…

We show that the set of entries generated by any finite set of doubly stochastic matrices is nowhere dense, in contrast to the cases of stochastic matrices or unitary matrices. In other words, there is no finite universal set of doubly…

A convergence theorem for martingales with c\`adl\`ag trajectories (right continuous with left limits everywhere) is obtained in the sense of the weak dual topology on Hilbert space, under conditions that are much weaker than those required…

We prove joint universality theorems on the half plane of absolute convergence for general classes of Dirichlet series with an Euler-product, where in addition to vertical shifts we also allow scaling. This generalizes our recent joint…

We analyze the pointwise convergence of a sequence of computable elements of L^1(2^omega) in terms of algorithmic randomness. We consider two ways of expressing the dominated convergence theorem and show that, over the base theory RCA_0,…
