According to Haar's Theorem, every compact group $G$ admits a unique (regular, right and) left-invariant Borel probability measure $\mu_G$. Let the Haar integral (of $G$) denote the functional $\int_G:\mathcal{C}(G)\ni f\mapsto \int…

We show that Haar measures of connected semisimple groups, embedded via a representation into a matrix space, have a homogeneous asymptotic limit when viewed from far away and appropriately rescaled. This is still true if the Haar measure…

We prove that a homomorphism $h:X\to Y$ from a (locally compact) Cech-complete topological group $X$ to a topological group $Y$ is continuous if and only if $h$ is Borel-measurable if and only if $h$ is universally measurable (if and only…

Many symmetric orthogonal polynomials $(P_n(x))_{n\in\mathbb{N}_0}$ induce a hypergroup structure on $\mathbb{N}_0$. The Haar measure is the counting measure weighted with $h(n):=1/\int_\mathbb{R}\!P_n^2(x)\,\mathrm{d}\mu(x)\geq1$, where…

Given a locally compact group bundle, we show that the system of the Plancherel weights of their C*-algebras is lower semi-continuous. As a corollary, we obtain that the dual Haar sytem of a continuous Haar system of a locally compact…

We study the structure of invariant measures for continuous automorphisms of compact metrizable abelian groups satisfying the descending chain condition. We show that the finitely supported invariant measures are weak-* dense in the space…

If ${\mathcal C}\simeq 2^{\mathbb N}$ denotes the Cantor set realized as the infinite product of two-point groups, then a folklore result says the Cantor map from ${\mathcal C}$ into $[0,1]$ sends Haar measure to Lebesgue measure on the…

Let X be compact abelian group and G its dual (a discrete group). If B is an infinite subset of G, let C_B be the set of all x in X such that <phi(x) : phi \in B> converges to 1. If F is a free filter on G, let D_F be the union of all the…

This note presents some equalities in law for $Z_N:=\det(\Id-G)$, where $G$ is an element of a subgroup of the set of unitary matrices of size $N$, endowed with its unique probability Haar measure. Indeed, under some general conditions,…

Suppose $G$ is a compact semisimple Lie group, $\mu$ is the normalized Haar measure on $G$, and $A, A^2 \subseteq G$ are measurable. We show that $$\mu(A^2)\geq \min\{1, 2\mu(A)+\eta\mu(A)(1-2\mu(A))\}$$ with the absolute constant $\eta>0$…

We introduce the coherent algebra of a compact metric measure space by analogy with the corresponding concept for a finite graph. As an application we show that upon topologizing the collection of isomorphism classes of compact metric…

L\'evai and Pyber proposed the following as a conjecture: Let $G$ be a profinite group such that the set of solutions of the equation $x^n=1$ has positive Haar measure. Then $G$ has an open subgroup $H$ and an element $t$ such that all…

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…

In this note we extend to metrizable profinite groups the classical theorems of Titchmarsh on the Fourier transform of H\"older-Lipschitz functions. This generalizes the results of Younis on compact zero-dimensional abelian groups to the…

We prove that if $G$ is a totally bounded abelian group \st\ its dual group $\widehat{G}_p$ equipped with the finite-open topology is a Baire group, then every compact subset of $G$ must be finite. This solves an open question by Chasco,…

Let G be a locally compact group, and let U be its unitary representation on a Hilbert space H. Endow the space L(H) of linear bounded operators on H with weak operator topology. We prove that if U is a measurable map from G to L(H) then it…

Working over infinite dimensional separable Hilbert spaces, residual results have been achieved for the space of contractive $C_{0}$-semigroups under the topology of uniform weak operator convergence on compact subsets of $\mathbb{R}_{+}$.…

This paper studies the measure-preserving homeomorphisms on compact groups and proposes new methods for constructing measure-preserving homeomorphisms on direct products of compact groups and non-commutative compact groups. On the direct…

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…

The fiducial coincides with the posterior in a group model equipped with the right Haar prior. This result is here generalized. For this the underlying probability space of Kolmogorov is replaced by a $\sigma$-finite measure space and…
