Sublinear functionals of random variables are known as sublinear expectations; they are convex homogeneous functionals on infinite-dimensional linear spaces. We extend this concept for set-valued functionals defined on measurable set-valued…

In this note, we prove that a semigroup $S$ is left amenable if and only if every two nonzero elements of $\ell^1_+(S)$ have a common nonzero right multiple, where $\ell^1_+(S)$ is the positive part of the Banach algebra $\ell^1(S)$, or…

We establish a Fenchel-Moreau type theorem for proper convex functions $f\colon X\to \bar{L}^0$, where $(X, Y, \langle \cdot,\cdot \rangle)$ is a dual pair of Banach spaces and $\bar L^0$ is the space of all extended real-valued functions…

A functional distance ${\mathbb H}$, based on the Hausdorff metric between the function hypographs, is proposed for the space ${\mathcal E}$ of non-negative real upper semicontinuous functions on a compact interval. The main goal of the…

The space of $G$-invariant metrics on a homogeneous space $G/H$ is in one-to-one correspondence with the set of inner products on the tangent space $\fr{m}\cong T_{{\it o}}(G/H)$, which are invariant under the isotropy representation. When…

We study the homogeneous ind-spaces $\mathrm{GL}(\mathbf{s})/\mathbf{P}$ where $\mathrm{GL}(\mathbf{s})$ is a strict diagonal ind-group defined by a supernatural number $\mathbf{s}$ and $\mathbf{P}$ is a parabolic ind-subgroup of…

We study functional clones, which are sets of non-negative pseudo-Boolean functions (functions $\{0,1\}^k\to\mathbb{R}_{\geq 0}$) closed under (essentially) multiplication, summation and limits. Functional clones naturally form a lattice…

The mean value inequality is characteristic for upper semicontinuous functions to be subharmonic. Quasinearly subharmonic functions generalize subharmonic functions. We find the necessary and sufficient conditions under which subsets of…

We develop and describe continuous and discrete transforms of class functions on a compact semisimple, but not simple, Lie group $G$ as their expansions into series of special functions that are invariant under the action of the even…

This paper studies first the differential inequalities that make it possible to build a global theory of pseudo-holomorphic functions in the case of one or several complex variables. In the case of one complex dimension, we prove that the…

Inspired by recent work of A. Mardani which elaborates on the elementary fact that for any continuous function $f:\omega_1\times\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$, there is an $\alpha\in\omega_1$ such that $f(\langle\beta,x\rangle) =…

Any Lie group G acting on a Euclidean nonvoid open subset M can be seen as a subgroup of the smooth diffeomorphisms Diff^\infty(M,M) of M into itself. Thus actions by such Lie groups G correspond to smooth coordinate transforms on M which,…

In a Banach space $X$ endowed with a nondegenerate Gaussian measure, we consider Sobolev spaces of real functions defined in a sublevel set $O= \{x\in X:\;G(x) <0\}$ of a Sobolev nondegenerate function $G:X\mapsto \R$. We define the traces…

We consider differential equations of the form y'(t)=f(t,y(t)) on a (possibly infinite-dimensional) Lie group G, for f : [0,1] x G -> TG a time-dependent left invariant vector field with measurable (but not necessarily continuous)…

We study homomorphisms on the algebra of analytic functions of bounded type on a Banach space. When the domain space lacks symmetric regularity, we show that in every fiber of the spectrum there are evaluations (in higher duals) which do…

\.{Z}uk proved that if a finitely generated group admits a Cayley graph such that the Laplacian on the links of this Cayley graph has a spectral gap $> \frac{1}{2}$, then the group has property (T), or equivalently, every affine isometric…

Let $g$ be an element of a finite group $G$. For a positive integer $n$, let $E_n(g)$ be the subgroup generated by all commutators $[...[[x,g],g],\dots,g]$ over $x\in G$, where $g$ is repeated $n$ times. By Baer's theorem, if $E_n(g)=1$,…

The notion of a proper Ellis semigroup compactification is introduced. Ellis's functional approach shows how to obtain them from totally bounded equiuniformities on a phase space $X$ when the acting group $G$ is with the topology of…

We investigate translation length functions for two-generated groups acting by isometries on $\Lambda$-trees, where $\Lambda$ is a totally ordered abelian group. In this context, we provide an explicit formula for the translation length of…

We show that every group $H$ of at most exponential growth with respect to some left invariant metric admits a bi-Lipschitz embedding into a finitely generated group $G$ such that $G$ is amenable (respectively, solvable, satisfies a…
