We study pairs of subsets $A, B$ of a compact abelian group $G$ where the sumset $A+B:=\{a+b: a\in A, b\in B\}$ is small. Let $m$ and $m_{*}$ be Haar measure and inner Haar measure on $G$, respectively. Given $\varepsilon>0$, we classify…
We study Borel systems and continuous systems of measures, with a focus on mapping properties: compositions, liftings, fibred products and disintegration. Parts of the theory we develop can be derived from known work in the literature, and…
In this paper we present a new criterion to determine when the normalized Haar measure on a compact topological group is a Pietsch measure for nonlinear summing mappings. As a consequence, we provide a partial answer to a problem raised by…
By the Galvin-Mycielski-Solovay theorem, a subset $X$ of the line has Borel's strong measure zero if and only if $M+X\neq\mathbb{R}$ for each meager set $M$. A set $X\subseteq\mathbb{R}$ is meager-additive if $M+X$ is meager for each meager…
This paper surveys some recent developments in measures of association related to a new coefficient of correlation introduced by the author. A straightforward extension of this coefficient to standard Borel spaces (which includes all Polish…
We give a probabilistic proof of the Weyl integration formula on U(n), the unitary group with dimension $n$. This relies on a suitable definition of Haar measures conditioned to the existence of a stable subspace with any given dimension…
This is a survey of results on random group presentations, and on random subgroups of certain fixed groups. Being a survey, this paper does not contain new results, but it offers a synthetic view of a part of this very active field of…
In the paper we introduce a new family of "small" sets which is tightly connected with two well known $\sigma$-ideals: of Haar-null sets and of Haar-meager sets. We define a subset $A$ of a topological group $X$ to be…
In this paper, we prove a result on nonmeasurable subgroups in commutative Polish groups with respect to more generalized structures than sigma-finite measures.
In order to understand the structure of the `typical' element of an automorphism group, one has to study how large the conjugacy classes of the group are. When typical is meant in the sense of Baire category, a complete description of the…
A new definition of random sets is proposed. It is based on the distance in measurable space and uses negative definite kernels for continuation from initial space to that of random sets. This approach has no connection to Hausdorff…
The paper contains two results pointing to the lack of symmetry between measure and category. Assume CH. There exists a strongly meager subset of the Cantor set that can be mapped onto the Cantor set by a uniformly continuous function. (It…
We want to give a construction as simple as possible of a Borel subset of a product of two Polish spaces. This introduces the notion of potential Wadge class. Among other things, we study the non-potentially closed sets, by proving…
A general overview of the phenomenon of automatic continuity of homomorphisms between Polish groups is given. In particular, we study variants and improvements of the closed graph theorem, applying these to the problem of continuity of…
We give, for some Borel sets of a product of two Polish spaces, including the Borel sets with countable sections, a Hurewicz-like characterization of those which cannot become a transfinite difference of open sets by changing the two Polish…
In this paper we discuss the problem of existence of so called weak Sierpi\'nski sets in groups. It is known that group $G$ has a Sierpi\'nski subset if and only if it contains a free subgroup. In their paper, Tomkowicz and Wagon…
The aim of this survey article is to cover most of the recent research on preopen sets. I try to present majority of the results on preopen sets that I am aware of.
Descriptive set theory was originally developed on Polish spaces. It was later extended to $\omega$-continuous domains [Selivanov 2004] and recently to quasi-Polish spaces [de Brecht 2013]. All these spaces are countably-based. Extending…
We analyse certain Haar systems associated to groupoids obtained by certain natural equivalence relations of dynamical nature on sets like $\{1,2,...,d\}^\mathbb{Z}$, $\{1,2,...,d\}^\mathbb{N}$, $S^1\times S^1$, or $(S^1)^\mathbb{N}$, where…
The notion of a k-automatic set of integers is well-studied. We develop a new notion - the k-automatic set of rational numbers - and prove basic properties of these sets, including closure properties and decidability.
