We introduce the notion of an R-group of which the clas- sical groups R, Z and R_+ are typical examples, and we study flows (X;H), where X is a locally compact space and H is a continuous R- group action on X with the further property that…
Concentration of measure is a phenomenon in which a random variable that depends in a smooth way on a large number of independent random variables is essentially constant. The random variable will "concentrate" around its median or…
In this article we examine the concentration and oscillation effects developed by high-frequency eigenfunctions of the Laplace operator in a compact Riemannian manifold. More precisely, we are interested in the structure of the possible…
This is an expository article on properties of actions on Lie groups by subgroups of their automorphism groups. After recalling various results on the structure of the automorphism groups, we discuss actions with dense orbits, invariant and…
Let $K$ denote a simply connected compact Lie group and let $G=K^{\mathbb C}$, the complexification. It is known that there exists an $LK$ bi-invariant probability measure on a natural hyperfunction completion of the complex loop group…
Based mainly on examples of interest in mechanics, we define the notion of a polite group action. One may view this as not only trying to give a more general notion than properness of a group action, but also to more fully understand the…
In a previous paper the author constructed biinvariant measures (possibly having values in a line bundle) for a loop group LK (with compact simply connected K) acting on the formal completion of its complexification LG. One motivation for…
The concentration of empirical measures is studied for dependent data, whose joint distribution satisfies Poincar\'{e}-type or logarithmic Sobolev inequalities. The general concentration results are then applied to spectral empirical…
We consider Lorentzian manifolds as examples of partially ordered measure spaces, sets endowed with compatible partial order relations and measures, in this case given by the causal structure and the volume element defined by each…
The title refers to the area of research which studies infinite groups using measure-theoretic tools, and studies the restrictions that group structure imposes on ergodic theory of their actions. The paper is a survey of recent developments…
Exhibiting a new type of measure concentration, we prove uniform concentration bounds for measurable Lipschitz functions on product spaces, where Lipschitz is taken with respect to the metric induced by a weighted covering of the index set…
We investigate the relation between the concentration and the product of metric measure spaces. We have the natural question whether, for two concentrating sequences of metric measure spaces, the sequence of their product spaces also…
This paper is, essentially, a survey related to the problem of understanding the combinatorics of the action of the monoidal category of finite dimensional modules over a simple finite dimensional Lie algebra on various categories of Lie…
We consider smooth actions of lattices in higher-rank semisimple Lie groups on manifolds. We define two numbers $r(G)$ and $m(G)$ associated with the roots system of the Lie algebra of a Lie group $G$. If the dimension of the manifold is…
We study the sine-Gordon measure defined on each homotopy class. The energy space decomposes into infinitely many such classes indexed by the topological degree $Q \in \mathbf{Z}$. Even though the sine-Gordon action admits no minimizer in…
We prove that for certain actions of a discrete countable residually finite amenable group acting on a compact metric space with specification property, periodic measures are dense in the set of invariant measures.
We study expressive power of continuous logic in classes of metric groups defined by properties of their actions. For example we consider properties non-OB, non-FH and non-FR. The paper substantially extends Section 2 of the paper A.Ivanov,…
I discuss group averaging as a method for quantising constrained systems whose gauge group is a noncompact Lie group. Focussing on three case studies, I address the convergence of the averaging, possible indefiniteness of the prospective…
We establish some quantitative concentration estimates for the empirical measure of many independent variables, in transportation distances. As an application, we provide some error bounds for particle simulations in a model mean field…
Sharpened forms of the concentration of measure phenomenon for classes of functions on the sphere are developed in terms of Hessians of these functions.
