We show that the spectral measure of any non-commutative polynomial of a non-commutative $n$-tuple cannot have atoms if the free entropy dimension of that $n$-tuple is $n$ (see also work of Mai, Speicher, and Weber). Under stronger…

We consider a class of non-locally compact groups on which one may define a left-invariant, finitely additive measure taking values in some finitely generated extension of the field $\mathbb{R}$ of real numbers. In particular, we recover…

This article is concerned with measure equivalence and uniform measure equivalence of locally compact, second countable groups. We show that two unimodular, locally compact, second countable groups are measure equivalent if and only if they…

We discuss convergence in the Fourier algebra A(G) of a locally compact group G and provide a new characterisation of the local spectral sets of G.

In this paper, we explore the spectral measures of the Laplacian on Schreier graphs for several self-similar groups (the Grigorchuk, Lamplighter, and Hanoi groups) from the dynamical and algebro-geometric viewpoints. For these graphs,…

A probability measure in R^d is called a spectral measure if it has an orthonormal basis consisting of exponentials. In this paper we study spectral Cantor measures. We establish a large class of such measures and give a necessary and…

Sufficient conditions for a semigroup measure algebra to have contractible Gelfand spectrum are given and it is shown that for a wide class of semigroups these conditions are also necessary.

The spectrum of a group is the set of orders of its elements. Finite groups with the same spectra as the direct squares of the finite simple groups with abelian Sylow 2-subgroups are considered. It is proved that the direct square…

For a Borel probability measure $\mu$ on $\mathbb{R}^{n}$, it is called a spectral measure if the Hilbert space $L^{2}(\mu)$ admits an orthogonal basis of exponential functions. In this paper, we study the spectrality of fractal measures…

The local statistical fluctuations in Brownian ensembles, the intermediate state of perturbation of one classical ensemble by another one, are system-size invariant if the perturbation parameter has the same size-dependence as that of the…

Toric metrics on a line bundle of an abelian variety $A$ are the invariant metrics under the natural torus action coming from Raynaud's uniformization theory. We compute here the associated Monge-Amp\`ere measures for the restriction to any…

We prove the spectral gap property for random walks on the product of two non-locally isomorphic analytic real or p-adic compact groups with simple Lie algebras, under the necessary condition that the marginals posses a spectral gap.…

Let G be a locally compact second countable Abelian group. Given a measure preserving action T of G on a standard probability space, let M(T) denote the set of essential values of the spectral multiplicity function of the Koopman unitary…

In this paper, we study the spectrality of infinite convolutions generated by infinitely many admissible pairs which may not be compactly supported, where the spectrality means the corresponding square integrable function space admits a…

In this paper, we prove that given a cut-and-project scheme $(G, H, \mathcal{L})$ and a compact window $W \subseteq H$, the natural projection gives a bijection between the Fourier transformable measures on $G \times H$ supported inside the…

In this paper, we add to the characterization of the Fourier spectra for Bernoulli convolution measures. These measures are supported on Cantor subsets of the line. We prove that performing an odd additive translation to half the canonical…

Work on generalizations of the Cohen-Lenstra and Cohen-Martinet heuristics has drawn attention to probability measures on the space of isomorphism classes of profinite groups. As is common in probability theory, it would be desirable to…

In this note, we generalise a Bourgain's construction of finitely-supported symmetric measures whose Furstenberg measure has a smooth density from the case of $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{R})$ to that of a general simple Lie group. The proof is…

A bounded measurable set $\Omega$, of Lebesgue measure 1, in the real line is called spectral if there is a set $\Lambda$ of real numbers ("frequencies") such that the exponential functions $e_\lambda(x) = \exp(2\pi i \lambda x)$,…

We study random walks on the semi-direct product of F_p^d and SL_d(F_p). We estimate the spectral gap in terms of the spectral gap of the projection to the linear part SL_d(F_p). This problem is motivated by an analogue in the isometry…
