A distributional symmetry is invariance of a distribution under a group of transformations. Exchangeability and stationarity are examples. We explain that a result of ergodic theory provides a law of large numbers: If the group satisfies…

We give a sharp lower bound on the area of the domain enclosed by an embedded curve lying on a two-dimensional sphere, provided that geodesic curvature of this curve is bounded from below. Furthermore, we prove some dual inequalities for…

The aim of the present work is to show that recent results of the authors on the approximation of distributions of sums of independent summands by the infinitely divisible laws on convex polyhedra can be shown via an alternative class of…

We extend the range of linear systems of plane curves for which it is known that the dimension is equal to the expected dimension. We use a degeneration technique due to C. Ciliberto and R. Miranda. From our result we deduce, as a…

We prove that the divisor function $d(n)$ counting the number of divisors of the integer $n$, is a good weighting function for the pointwise ergodic theorem. For any measurable dynamical system $(X, {\mathcal A},\nu,\tau)$ and any $f\in…

Let P(x,y) be a rational polynomial and k in Q be a generic value. If the curve (P(x,y)=k) is irreducible and admits an infinite number of points whose coordinates are integers then there exist algebraic automorphisms that send P(x,y) to…

We establish a pointwise convergence result for ergodic averages modeled along orbits of the form $(n\lfloor n\sqrt{k}\rfloor)_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$, where $k$ is an arbitrary positive rational number with $\sqrt{k}\not\in\mathbb{Q}$. Namely,…

In this paper, we contribute toward a classification of two-variable polynomials by classifying (up to an automorphism of $C^2$) polynomials whose Newton polygon is either a triangle or a line segment. Our classification has several…

Let $\mathcal X_g$ be a genus $g\geq 2$ superelliptic curve, $F$ its field of moduli, and $K$ the minimal field of definition. In this short note we construct an equation of the curve $\mathcal X_g$ over its minimal field of definition $K$…

We initiate the study of a class of real plane algebraic curves which we call expressive. These are the curves whose defining polynomial has the smallest number of critical points allowed by the topology of the set of real points of a…

We prove several results related to the theorem of Logvinenko and Sereda on determining sets for functions with Fourier transforms supported in an interval. We obtain a polynomial instead of exponential bound in this theorem, and we extend…

We show that transcendental curves in $\mathbb R^n$ (not necessarily compact) have few rational points of bounded height provided that the curves are well behaved with respect to algebraic sets in a certain sense and can be parametrized by…

We consider a curve with boundary points free to move on a line in $\mathbb R^2$, which evolves by the $L^2$--gradient flow of the elastic energy, that is a linear combination of the Willmore and the length functional. For such planar…

We systematically explore a class of constrained optimization problems with linear objective function and constraints that are linear combinations of logarithms of the optimization variables. Such problems can be viewed as a generalization…

We prove that a general condition introduced by Colombo and Gobbino to study limits of curves of maximal slope allows also to characterize minimizing movements along a sequence of functionals as curves of maximal slope of a limit…

Suppose E_1, E_2 are elliptic curves (over the complex numbers) together with standard double coverings of the projective line identifying a point and its inverse on E_i. Bogomolov, Fu and Tschinkel have asked if the number of common images…

Many natural real-valued functions of closed curves are known to extend continuously to the larger space of geodesic currents. For instance, the extension of length with respect to a fixed hyperbolic metric was a motivating example for the…

We introduce a new theory of generalised solutions which applies to fully nonlinear PDE systems of any order and allows for merely measurable maps as solutions. This approach bypasses the standard problems arising by the application of…

For a post-critically finite branched covering of the sphere that is a subdivision map of a finite subdivision rule, we define non-expanding spines which determine the existence of a Levy cycle in a non-exhaustive semi-decidable algorithm.…

We show that the existence of disintegration for cylindrical measures follows from a general disintegration theorem for countably additive measures.
