This paper continues work begun in \cite{M1}, in which we introduced a theory of Gowers uniformity norms for singular measures on $\mathbb{R}^d$. There, given a $d$-dimensional measure $\mu$, we introduced a $(k+1)d$-dimensional measure…

Let $G = (V,E)$ be a connected graph. A probability measure $\mu$ on $V$ is called "balanced" if it has the following property: if $T_\mu(v)$ denotes the "earth mover's" cost of transporting all the mass of $\mu$ from all over the graph to…
