Let $G$ be a locally compact group with the left Haar measure $m_{G}$. A probability measure ${\mu}$ on $G$ is said to be strictly aperiodic if the support of ${\mu}$ is not contained in a proper closed left coset of $G$. In this paper, we…
We study a generalized notion of a homogeneous skew-product extension of a probability-preserving system in which the homogeneous space fibres are allowed to vary over the ergodic decomposition of the base. The construction of such…
The aim of this Thesis is twofold. On the one hand, we find the necessary and sufficient conditions for a maximally supersymmetric supergravity theory in 3D to be a solution of 11D supergravity (but the result is general and also holds for…
This paper gives a self-contained introduction to the Hilbert projective metric $\mathcal{H}$ and its fundamental properties, with a particular focus on the space of probability measures. We start by defining the Hilbert pseudo-metric on…
Furstenberg, Katznelson and Weiss proved in the early 1980s that every measurable subset of the plane with positive density at infinity has the property that all sufficiently large real numbers are realised as the Euclidean distance between…
The Furstenberg recurrence theorem (or equivalently, Szemer\'edi's theorem) can be formulated in the language of von Neumann algebras as follows: given an integer $k \geq 2$, an abelian finite von Neumann algebra $(\M,\tau)$ with an…
We prove that Poisson measures are invariant under (random) intensity preserving transformations whose finite difference gradient satisfies a cyclic vanishing condition. The proof relies on moment identities of independent interest for…
We introduce the notion of pullback along a measurable cocycle and we use it to extend the Borel invariant studied by Bucher, Burger and Iozzi to the world of measurable cocycles. The Borel invariant is constant along cohomology classes and…
Given a measurable dynamical system $(X,\mathcal{X},\mu,T)$, where $X$ is a compact metric space, $\mathcal{X}$ is the Borel $\sigma$-algebra on $X$, $\mu$ is a $T$-invariant Borel probability measure and $T$ is a homeomorphism acting on…
A recent conjecture by C. Carlet on the sum-freedom of the binary multiplicative inverse function can be stated as follows: For each pair of positive integers $(n,k)$ with $3\le k\le n-3$, there is a $k$-dimensional $\Bbb F_2$-subspace $E$…
Let K/Q be Galois, and let eta in K* whose conjugates are multiplicatively independent. For a prime p, unramified, prime to eta, let np be the residue degree of p and gp the number of P I p, then let o\_P(eta) and o\_p(eta) be the orders of…
In this work we analyze the concept of swap-invariance, which is a weaker variant of exchangeability. A random vector $\xi$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ is called swap-invariant if $\,{\mathbf E}\,\big| \!\sum_j u_j \xi_j \big|\,$ is invariant under…
Let $\lambda$ be a probability measure on $\mathbb T^{n-1}$ where $n=2$ or 3. Suppose $\lambda$ is invariant, ergodic and has positive entropy with respect to the linear transformation defined by a hyperbolic matrix. We get a measure $\mu $…
We prove a structural result for measure preserving systems naturally associated with any finite collection of multiplicative functions that take values on the complex unit disc. We show that these systems have no irrational spectrum and…
Given two nondegenerate Borel probability measures $\mu$ and $\nu$ on $\mathbb{R}_{+}=[0,\infty)$, we prove that their free multiplicative convolution $\mu\boxtimes\nu$ has zero singular continuous part and its absolutely continuous part…
We study dynamical systems acting on the path space of a stationary (non-simple) Bratteli diagram. For such systems we explicitly describe all ergodic probability measures invariant with respect to the tail equivalence relation (or the…
In this paper, we study Borel probability measures of maximal entropy for analytic subsets in a dynamical system. It is well known that higher smoothness of the map over smooth space plays important role in the study of invariant measures…
In this paper, we show how geometry plays in the study of the Furstenberg conjecture (refer to~\cite{F}). Let $p>1$ and $q>1$ be two relative prime positive integers. We prove that a non-atomic $p$- and $q$-invariant measure having balanced…
Let $\mu$ be a translation invariant measure on $(\mathbb{R}^d,\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R}^d))$ and let $\lambda$ denote the Lebesgue measure on $\mathbb{R}^d$. If there exists an open set $U$ such that $0<\mu(U)=\lambda(U)<\infty$, it is a…
Let $\mu$ be a Borel probability measure on a compact path-connected metric space $(X, \rho)$ for which there exist constants $c,\beta>1$ such that $\mu(B) \geq c r^{\beta}$ for every open ball $B\subset X$ of radius $r>0$. For a class of…
