In this paper, we study the analogous Erd\H{o}s similarity conjecture in higher dimensions and generalize the Eigen-Falconer theorem. We show that if $A=\{\boldsymbol{x}_n\}_{n=1}^\infty \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$ is a sequence of non-zero…
We study the parabolic variant of the Erd\H os--Falconer distance problem in finite fields. That is, if $q$ is odd, we seek size thresholds beyond which any subset $E\subset \mathbb F_q^2$ will determine many distinct parabolic distances.…
Let $E\subset\mathbb{F}_q^d$ and $\lVert \cdot \rVert:\mathbb{F}_q^d\to \mathbb{F}_q$ defined as $\lVert \alpha\rVert:= \alpha_1^2+\dots+\alpha_d^2$ if $\alpha=(\alpha_1,\dots,\alpha_d)\in \mathbb{F}_q^d$, where $\mathbb{F}_q^d$ is the…
We present the minimal realization of the $\ell$-conformal Galilei group in 2+1 dimensions on a single complex field. The simplest Lagrangians yield the complex Pais-Uhlenbeck oscillator equations. We introduce a minimal deformation of the…
Let $B$ be a $d$-dimensional Gaussian process on $\mathbb{R}$, where the component are independents copies of a scalar Gaussian process $B_0$ on $\mathbb{R}_+$ with a given general variance function…
Let $\mu$ be a measure on $SL_{2}(\mathbb{R})$ generating a non-compact and totally irreducible subgroup, let $\chi>0$ denote its Lyapunov exponent, and let $\nu$ be the associated stationary (Furstenberg) measure for the action on the…
Consider an operator that takes the Fourier transform of a discrete measure supported in $\mathcal{X}\subset[-\frac 12,\frac 12)^d$ and restricts it to a compact $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^d$. We provide lower bounds for its smallest singular…
This is an expostion of various aspects of amenability and paradoxical decompositions for groups, group actions and metric spaces. First, we review the formalism of pseudogroups, which is well adapted to stating the alternative of Tarski,…
We prove that if the Hausdorff dimension of a compact subset of ${\mathbb R}^d$ is greater than $\frac{d+1}{2}$, then the set of angles determined by triples of points from this set has positive Lebesgue measure. Sobolev bounds for…
We study the Erd\H os-Falconer distance problem for a set $A\subset \mathbb{F}^2$, where $\mathbb{F}$ is a field of positive characteristic $p$. If $\mathbb{F}=\mathbb{F}_p$ and the cardinality $|A|$ exceeds $p^{5/4}$, we prove that $A$…
Let $X$ be a compact Hausdorff space. In this work we translate partial actions of $X$ to partial actions on some hyperspaces determined by $X,$ this gives an endofunctor $2^{-}$ in the category of partial actions on compact Hausdorff…
This paper is devoted to the study of noncommutative maximal inequalities and ergodic theorems for group actions on von Neumann algebras. Consider a locally compact group $G$ of polynomial growth with a symmetric compact subset $V$. Let…
Given a Lipschitz function $f:\{1,...,d\}^\mathbb{N} \to \mathbb{R}$, for each $\beta>0$ we denote by $\mu_\beta$ the equilibrium measure of $\beta f$ and by $h_\beta$ the main eigenfunction of the Ruelle Operator $L_{\beta f}$. Assuming…
The main theorem of this paper establishes a uniform syndeticity result concerning the multiple recurrence of measure-preserving actions on probability spaces. More precisely, for any integers $d,l\geq 1$ and any $\varepsilon > 0$, we prove…
That is, given a compact set $B \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ (the boundary) and a subgroup $L$ of the \v{C}ech homology group $\check{H}_{d-1}(B;G)$ of dimension $d$ over some commutative group $G$, we find a compact set $E \supset B$ such that…
We establish the dimension version of Falconer's distance set conjecture for sets of equal Hausdorff and packing dimension (in particular, for Ahlfors-regular sets) in all ambient dimensions. In dimensions $d=2$ or $3$, we obtain the first…
In this paper we investigate the Erd\"os/Falconer distance conjecture for a natural class of sets statistically, though not necessarily arithmetically, similar to a lattice. We prove a good upper bound for spherical means that have been…
The famous Erd\H{o}s distinct distances problem asks the following: how many distinct distances must exist between a set of $n$ points in the plane? There are many generalisations of this question that ask one to consider different spaces…
We study decimation procedures and effective (improved) actions in the framework of Monte Carlo Renormalization Group (MCRG). Particular attention is paid to matching the form of the effective action to the decimation procedure parameters.…
In this paper we consider the problem of how large the Hausdorff dimension of $E\subset\R^d$ needs to be in order to ensure that the radii set of $(d-1)$-dimensional spheres determined by $E$ has positive Lebesgue measure. We also study the…
