We prove that a set of finite perimeter is indecomposable if and only if it is, up to a choice of suitable representative, connected in the 1-fine topology. This gives a topological characterization of indecomposability which is new even in…

A number of researchers have independently introduced topologies on the set of laws of stochastic processes that extend the usual weak topology. Depending on the respective scientific background this was motivated by applications and…

We prove a weak version of the $\varepsilon$-Dvoretzky conjecture for normed spaces, showing the existence of a subspace of $\mathbb{R}^n$ of dimension at least $c \log n / |\log \varepsilon|$ in which the given norm is $\varepsilon$-close…

We prove that the Lyapunov exponents, cosidered as functions of measures with non compact support, are semicontinuous with respect to the Wasserstein topology but not with respect to the weak* topology. Moreover, we prove that they are not…

The standard approach to characterizing topological matter, computing topological invariants, fails when the symmetry protecting the topological phase is preserved only on average in a disordered system. Because topological invariants rely…

We present an alternative proof of Sanov's theorem for Polish spaces in the weak topology that follows via discretization arguments. We combine the simpler version of Sanov's Theorem for discrete finite spaces and well chosen finite…

We characterize the (sequentially) weak and strong closure of planar diffeomorphisms in the Sobolev topology and we show that they always coincide. We also provide some sufficient condition for a planar map to be approximable by…

In this paper, we mainly revisit a nice theory for topological entropy of weakly equivalent flows, which was originally investigated by Ohno in 1980. We will develop a new approach, being more straightforward and elementary than the…

The space of metric measure spaces (complete separable metric spaces with a probability measure) is becoming more and more important as state space for stochastic processes. Of particular interest is the subspace of (continuum) metric…

Gromov introduced two distance functions, the box distance and the observable distance, on the space of isomorphism classes of metric measure spaces and developed the convergence theory of metric measure spaces. We investigate several…

If $(X,d)$ is a metric space then the map $f\colon X\to X$ is defined to be a weak contraction if $d(f(x),f(y))<d(x,y)$ for all $x,y\in X$, $x\neq y$. We determine the simplest non-closed sets $X\subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ in the sense of…

In this note we prove the Borel Conjecture for closed, irreducible and sufficiently collapsed three-dimensional Alexandrov spaces. We also pose several questions related to characterization of fundamental groups of three-dimensional…

We prove that a function $f:X\to Y$ from a first-countable (more generally, Preiss-Simon) space $X$ to a regular space $Y$ is weakly discontinuous (which means that every subspace $A\subset X$ contains an open dense subset $U\subset A$ such…

A weak measurement consists in coupling a system to a probe in such a way that constructive interference generates a large output. So far, only the average output of the probe and its variance were studied. Here, the characteristic function…

We obtain the first results on convergence rates in the Prokhorov metric for the weak invariance principle (functional central limit theorem) for deterministic dynamical systems. Our results hold for uniformly expanding/hyperbolic (Axiom A)…

Finite metric spaces are the object of study in many data analysis problems. We examine the concept of weak isometry between finite metric spaces, in order to analyse properties of the spaces that are invariant under strictly increasing…

Rational weak mixing is a measure theoretic version of Krickeberg's strong ratio mixing property for infinite measure preserving transformations. It requires "{\tt density}" ratio convergence for every pair of measurable sets in a dense…

We study local asymptotic normality of M-estimates of convex minimization in an infinite dimensional parameter space. The objective function of M-estimates is not necessary differentiable and is possibly subject to convex constraints. In…

We prove a superposition principle for nonlinear Fokker-Planck-Kolmogorov equations on Euclidean spaces and their corresponding linearized first-order continuity equation over the space of Borel (sub-)probability measures. As a consequence,…

In this work, we study pmp actions of countable groups on arbitrary diffuse probability spaces under the point of view of weak equivalence. We will show that any such an action is weakly equivalent to an action on a standard probability…
