Let $X_1,...,X_N$ denote $N$ independent $d$-dimensional L\'evy processes, and consider the $N$-parameter random field \[\X(\bm{t}):= X_1(t_1)+...+X_N(t_N).\] First we demonstrate that for all nonrandom Borel sets $F\subseteq\R^d$, the…

For a continuous action of a countable discrete group $G$ on a Polish space $X$, a countable Borel partition $P$ of $X$ is called a generator if $G \cdot P := \{ gC : g \in G, C \in P \}$ generates the Borel $\sigma$-algebra of $X$. For $G…

A topological group G is profinite if it is compact and totally disconnected. Equivalently, G is the inverse limit of a surjective system of finite groups carrying the discrete topology. We discuss how to represent a countably based…

The Kestelman-Borwein-Ditor Theorem asserts that a non-negligible subset of $\mathbb{R}$ which is Baire (=has the Baire property, BP) or measurable is shift-compact: it contains some subsequence of any null sequence to within translation by…

A subset of a Polish space $X$ is called universally small if it belongs to each ccc $\sigma$-ideal with Borel base on $X$. Under CH in each uncountable Abelian Polish group $G$ we construct a universally small subset $A_0\subset G$ such…

We will show that, consistently, every uncountable set can be continuously mapped onto a non measure zero set, while there exists an uncountable set whose all continuous images into a Polish space are meager.

We show that a set of non-negative reals is the distance set of a separable complete metric space if and only if it is either countable or is an analytic set which has 0 as a limit point. We also consider spaces with simpler distance sets.

We study the descriptive complexity of sets of points defined by placing restrictions on statistical behaviour of their orbits in dynamical systems on Polish spaces. A particular examples of such sets are the set of generic points of a…

This paper answers three questions posed by the first author. In Theorem 2.6 we show that the family of strong measure zero subsets of {}^{omega_1}2 is 2^{aleph_1}-additive under GMA and CH. In Theorem 3.1 we prove that the generalized…

Given a subset $W$ of an abelian group $G$, a subset $C$ is called an additive complement for $W$ if $W+C=G$; if, moreover, no proper subset of $C$ has this property, then we say that $C$ is a minimal complement for $W$. It is natural to…

We extend some results of Carderi and Le Ma\^itre on full groups in the probability context to the infinite measure one: there exists at most one Polish group topology (refining the weak topology and coarser than the uniform topology) on an…

A matching in a group G is a bijection f from a subset A to a subset B in G such that af(a) does not belong to A for all a in A. The group G is said to have the matching property if, for any finite subsets A,B in G of same cardinality with…

A subset of a topological space is said to be \emph{universally measurable} if it is measured by the completion of each countably additive $\sigma$-finite Borel measure on the space, and \emph{universally null} if it has measure zero for…

The Shapley-Folkman theorem is a statement about the Minkowski sum of (non-convex) sets, expressing the closeness of the Minkowski sum to convexity in a quantitative manner. This paper establishes similar theorems for integrally convex…

Let L be the zero set of a nonconstant monic polynomial with complex coefficients. In the context of constructive mathematics without countable choice, it may not be possible to construct an element of L. In this paper we introduce a notion…

There are certain countably generated sigma-algebras of sets in the real line which do not admit any non-zero, sigma-finite, diffused (or, continuous) measure. Such countably generated sigma-algebras can be obtained by the use of some…

Given a Borel measure $\mu$ on ${\mathbb R}^{n}$, we define a convex set by \[ M({\mu})=\bigcup_{\substack{0\le f\le1,\\ \int_{{\mathbb R}^{n}}f\,{\rm d}{\mu}=1 } }\left\{ \int_{{\mathbb R}^{n}}yf\left(y\right)\,{\rm…

Let $\mathbf{\eta}$ be a positive Radon measure on the space of continuous paths from R into a locally compact Polish space $Y$, and assume that $\mathbf{\eta}$ admits an invariant measure. We explicit conditions on $\mathbf{\eta}$ such…

Let G be an additive abelian group whose finite subgroups are all cyclic. Let A_1,...,A_n (n>1) be finite subsets of G with cardinality k>0, and let b_1,...,b_n be pairwise distinct elements of G with odd order. We show that for every…

The Shapley-Folkman theorem shows that Minkowski averages of uniformly bounded sets tend to be convex when the number of terms in the sum becomes much larger than the ambient dimension. In optimization, Aubin and Ekeland [1976] show that…
