In $\mathbb{R}^d$, a closed, convex set has zero Lebesgue measure if and only its interior is empty. More generally, in separable, reflexive Banach spaces, closed and convex sets are Haar null if and only if their interior is empty. We…

Let $G$, $H$ be finite groups and let $X$ be a finite $G$-set. $G$-perfect nonlinear functions from $X$ to $H$ have been studied in several papers. They have more interesting properties than perfect nonlinear functions from $G$ itself to…

Following Davies, Elekes and Keleti, we study measured sets, i.e. Borel sets $B$ in $\mathbb{R}$ (or in a Polish group) for which there is a translation invariant Borel measure assigning positive and \sigma-finite measure to $B$. We…

Let $H$ be an infinite dimensional separable Hilbert space, $B(H)$ the $C^*$-algebra of all bounded linear operators on $H,$ $U(B(H))$ the unitary group of $B(H)$ and ${\cal K}\subset B(H)$ the ideal of compact operators. Let $G$ be a…

We introduce a new class of Abelian groups which lies strictly between the classes of co-Hopfian groups and Dedekind-finite groups, calling these groups {\it Bassian-finite}. We prove the surprising fact that in the torsion case the…

We prove that for a continuum $K\subset \mathbb R^n$ the sum $K^{+n}$ of $n$ copies of $K$ has non-empty interior in $\mathbb R^n$ if and only if $K$ is not flat in the sense that the affine hull of $K$ coincides with $\mathbb R^n$.…

For every natural number k we prove a decomposition theorem for bounded measurable functions on compact abelian groups into a structured part, a quasi random part and a small error term. In this theorem quasi randomness is measured with the…

A subset $X$ of a Polish group $G$ is \emph{Haar null} if there exists a Borel probability measure $\mu$ and a Borel set $B$ containing $X$ such that $\mu(gBh)=0$ for every $g,h \in G$. A set $X$ is \emph{Haar meager} if there exists a…

Suppose $G$ is a finite group and $A\subseteq G$ is such that $\{gA:g\in G\}$ has VC-dimension strictly less than $k$. We find algebraically well-structured sets in $G$ which, up to a chosen $\epsilon>0$, describe the structure of $A$ and…

Given a family $F$ of subsets of a group $G$ we describe the structure of its thin-completion $\tau^*(F)$, which is the smallest thin-complete family that contains $I$. A family $F$ of subsets of $G$ is called thin-complete if each $F$-thin…

We prove that every function $f:\mathbb{R}^n\to \mathbb{R}$ satisfies that the image of the set of critical points at which the function $f$ has Taylor expansions of order $n-1$ and non-empty subdifferentials of order $n$ is a Lebesgue-null…

For a set $X\sbst\R$, let $B(X)\sbst\R^X$ denote the space of Borel real-valued functions on $X$, with the topology inherited from the Tychonoff product $\R^X$. Assume that for each countable $A\sbst B(X)$, each $f$ in the closure of $A$ is…

We show that any filtering family of closed convex subsets of a finite-dimensional CAT(0) space $X$ has a non-empty intersection in the visual bordification $ \bar{X} = X \cup \partial X$. Using this fact, several results known for proper…

In this paper, we investigate the fixed-point set of an element of a CAT(0) group in its boundary. Suppose that a group $G$ acts geometrically on a CAT(0) space $X$. Let $g\in G$ and let $\mathcal{F}_g$ be the fixed-point set of $g$ in the…

Given a "Green function" $G$ on a locally compact space $X$ with countable base, a Borel set $A$ in $X$ is called $G$-semipolar, if there is no measure $\nu\ne 0$ supported by $A$ such that $G\nu:=\int G(\cdot,y)\,d\nu(y)$ is a continuous…

Let $X$ be the countable product of Abelian locally compact Polish groups and $A,B\subset X$ be two Borel sets, which are not Haar-null in $X$. We prove that the sum-set $A+B:=\{a+b:a\in A,\;\;b\in B\}$ is Haar-open in the sense that for…

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 prove that if $X$ is a Polish space and $F$ is a face of $P(X)$ with the Baire property, then $F$ is either a meager or a co-meager subset of $P(X)$. As a consequence we show that for every abelian Polish group $X$ and every analytic…

F. Wehrung has asked: Given a family $\mathcal{C}$ of subsets of a set $\Omega$, under what conditions will there exist a total ordering on $\Omega$ under which every member of $\mathcal{C}$ is convex? <p> Note that if $A$ and $B$ are…

We give a complete characterization of the size of Borel sets that are mid-point convex but not (essentially) convex, in terms of their Hausdorff dimensions and Hausdorff measures.
