This paper presents novel characterization results for classes of law-invariant star-shaped functionals. We begin by establishing characterizations for positively homogeneous and star-shaped functionals that exhibit second- or convex-order…
We discuss when law-invariant convex functionals "collapse to the mean". More precisely, we show that, in a large class of spaces of random variables and under mild semicontinuity assumptions, the expectation functional is, up to an affine…
We establish general "collapse to the mean" principles that provide conditions under which a law-invariant functional reduces to an expectation. In the convex setting, we retrieve and sharpen known results from the literature. However, our…
We provide a variety of results for (quasi)convex, law-invariant functionals defined on a general Orlicz space, which extend well-known results in the setting of bounded random variables. First, we show that Delbaen's representation of…
Law-invariant functionals are central to risk management and assign identical values to random prospects sharing the same distribution under an atomless reference probability measure. This measure is typically assumed fixed. Here, we adopt…
This paper presents relations between several types of closedness of a law-invariant convex set in a rearrangement invariant space $\mathcal{X}$. In particular, we show that order closedness,…
In this note, we show that, on a wide range of rearrangement-invariant spaces, a law-invariant bounded linear functional is a scalar multiple of the expectation. We also construct a rearrangement-invariant space on which this property…
We address a deep study of the convexity notions that arise in the study of weak* lower semicontinuity of supremal functionals as well as those raised by the power-law approximation of such functionals. Our quest is motivated by the…
This paper is devoted to a systematic study and characterizations of the fundamental notions of variational and strong variational convexity for lower semicontinuous functions. While these notions have been quite recently introduced by…
Given a strictly positive measure, we characterize inner semicontinuous solid convex-valued mappings for which continuous functions which are selections almost everywhere are selections. This class contains continuous mappings as well as…
We consider functional linear regression models where functional outcomes are associated with scalar predictors by coefficient functions with shape constraints, such as monotonicity and convexity, that apply to sub-domains of interest. To…
We investigate functionals defined on manifolds through parameterizations. If they are to be meaningful, from a geometrical viewpoint, they ought to be invariant under reparameterizations. Standard, local, integral functionals with this…
We provide counterexamples showing that uniform laws of large numbers do not hold for subdifferentials under natural assumptions. Our constructions are univariate random Lipschitz functions and bivariate random convex functions with two…
We study the long-time behavior of almost periodic solutions to stochastic scalar conservation laws in any space dimension, under the assumption of Lipschitz continuity of the flux functions and a non-degeneracy condition. We show the…
We study invariant solutions of a certain class of time-fractional diffusion-wave equations with variable coefficients via Lie symmetry analysis. In physics, the fractional diffusion equation describes transport dynamics that are governed…
Let $\mu$ be a probability measure on $\mathbb{R}$. We give conditions on the Fourier transform of its density for functionals of the form $H(a)=\int_{\mathbb{R}^n}h(\langle a,x\rangle)\mu^n(dx)$ to be Schur monotone. As applications, we…
The full Kostant--Toda hierarchy on a semisimple Lie algebra is a system of Lax equations, in which the flows are determined by the gradients of the Chevalley invariants.This paper is concerned with the full Kostant--Toda hierarchy on the…
We analize the algebraic structure of consistent and covariant anomalies in gauge and gravitational theories: using a complex extension of the Lie algebra it is possible to describe them in a unified way. Then we study their representations…

Determination of quasi-invariant generalized functions is important for a variety of problems in representation theory, notably character theory and restriction problems. In this note, we review some new and easy-to-use techniques to show…
