A sequence of random variables is exchangeable if its joint distribution is invariant under variable permutations. We introduce exchangeable variable models (EVMs) as a novel class of probabilistic models whose basic building blocks are…
We state that for continuous interval maps the existence of a non empty closed invariant subset which is transitive and sensitive to initial conditions is implied by positive topological entropy and implies chaos in the sense of Li-Yorke,…
We relate finite generation of cones, monoids, and ideals in increasing chains (the local situation) to equivariant finite generation of the corresponding limit objects (the global situation). For cones and monoids there is no analog of…
Let $T$ be an $m$-interval exchange transformation. By the rank of $T$ we mean the dimension of the $\mathbb{Q}$-vector space spanned by the lengths of the exchanged intervals. We prove that if $T$ is minimal and the rank of $T$ is greater…
We consider random arrays indexed by the leaves of an infinitary rooted tree of finite depth, with the distribution invariant under the rearrangements that preserve the tree structure. We call such arrays hierarchically exchangeable and…
Sets of desirable gambles constitute a quite general type of uncertainty model with an interesting geometrical interpretation. We give a general discussion of such models and their rationality criteria. We study exchangeability assessments…
We provide a naturally isomorphic description of the persistence map from merge trees to barcodes in terms of a monotone map from the partition lattice to the subset lattice. Our description is local, which offers the potential to speed up…
In this paper, we discuss expanding maps on a class of invariant sets called flowers. We show that any set contained in a flower has at most linear complexity, and we present a relationship between flowers and a special class of interval…
We study the dynamics of continuous maps on compact metric spaces containing a free interval (an open subset homeomorphic to the interval $(0,1)$). We provide a new proof of a result of M. Dirb\'ak, \v{L}. Snoha, V. \v{S}pitalsk\'y [Ergodic…
The main result of this paper is a proof using real analysis of the monotonicity of the topological entropy for the family of quadratic maps, sometimes called Milnor's Monotonicity Conjecture. In contrast, the existing proofs rely in one…
We characterize subgroups of the mapping class group that stabilize a Teichmueller disk in terms of ellipses and strips that are immersed in the associated translation surface. In particular, we show that the space of immersed…
We study the dynamics of iterated cosine maps $E\colon z \mapsto ae^z+be^{-z},$ with $a,b \in \C\setminus \{0\}$. We show that the points which converge to infinity under iteration are organized in the form of rays and, as in the…
Networks embedded in space can display all sorts of transitions when their structure is modified. The nature of these transitions (and in some cases crossovers) can differ from the usual appearance of a giant component as observed for the…
In this note, we study non-transitive graphs and prove a number of results when they satisfy a coarse version of transitivity. Also, for each finitely generated group $G$, we produce continuum many pairwise non-quasi-isometric regular…
The authors study in detail new types of varieties with degenerate Gauss maps: varieties with multiple foci and their particular case, the so-called twisted cones. They prove an existence theorem for twisted cones and describe their…
We consider a model of random permutations of the sites of the cubic lattice. Permutations are weighted so that sites are preferably sent onto neighbors. We present numerical evidence for the occurrence of a transition to a phase with…
We explore conditions on the covariance matrices of a consistent chain of mean zero finite mode Gaussian states in order that the chain may be exchangeable or stationary. For an exchangeable chain our conditions are necessary and…
This paper revisits the notion of classical orthogonal polynomials from a broader functional-analytic point of view. It is intended neither as a survey of known results nor as a review of the literature, but rather as a conceptual…
In this note we consider the question how the set of inversions of a permutation $\pi \in S_n$ can be partitioned into two subset, such that those are itself inversion sets of permutations. This is archived by exploiting a connection to a…
We study the group of all interval exchange transformations (IETs). We show that for every IET $S$, there exists a dense open set of admissible IETs that share a relation with $S$. This is an extension of a result published by Dahmani,…
