In the absence of the axiom of choice, the set-theoretic status of many natural statements about metrizable compact spaces is investigated. Some of the statements are provable in $\mathbf{ZF}$, some are shown to be independent of…
Let $(X,d)$ be a compact metric space, $f:X \mapsto X$ be a continuous map with the specification property, and $\varphi: X \mapsto \IR$ be a continuous function. We prove a variational principle for topological pressure (in the sense of…
Let $\psi:\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{R}_{\ge0}$ be an arbitrary function from the positive integers to the non-negative reals. Consider the set $\mathcal{A}$ of real numbers $\alpha$ for which there are infinitely many reduced fractions $a/q$…
We study the set of irregular points for topologically mixing subshifts of finite type. It is well known that despite the irregular set having zero measure for every invariant measure, it has full topological entropy and full Hausdorff…
We argue that any general mathematical measure of density error, no matter how reasonable, is too arbitrary to be of universal use. However the energy functional itself provides a universal relevant measure of density errors. For the…
In this paper we prove disintegration results for self-conformal measures and affinely irreducible self-similar measures. The measures appearing in the disintegration resemble self-conformal/self-similar measures for iterated function…
Extending the celebrated results of Alexandrov (1958) and Korevaar-Ros (1988) for smooth sets, as well as the results of Schneider (1979) and the first author (1999) for arbitrary convex bodies, we obtain for the first time the…
We study a class of homeomorphisms of surfaces collectively known as linked-twist maps. We introduce an abstract definition which enables us to give a precise characterisation of a property observed by other authors, namely that such maps…
We propose a theory of quantum (statistical) measurement which is close, in spirit, to Hepp's theory, which is centered on the concepts of decoherence and macroscopic (classical) observables, and apply it to a model of the Stern-Gerlach…
We establish several nonuniqueness results for the problem of finding complete conformal metrics with constant (fourth-order) $Q$-curvature on compact and noncompact manifolds of dimension $\geq5$. Infinitely many branches of metrics with…
A quantum measurement is logically reversible if the premeasurement density operator of the measured system can be calculated from the postmeasurement density operator and from the outcome of the measurement. This paper analyzes why many…
It is shown that there exist a probability space $(X,{\mathcal X},\mu)$, two ergodic measure preserving transformations $T,S$ acting on $(X,{\mathcal X},\mu)$ with $h_\mu(X,T)=h_\mu(X,S)=0$, and $f, g \in L^\infty(X,\mu)$ such that the…
Building on recent results regarding symmetric probabilistic constructions of countable structures, we provide a method for constructing probability measures, concentrated on certain classes of countably infinite structures, that are…
For a continuous map $T: X\rightarrow X$ on a compact metric space $(X,d)$, we say that a function $f: X \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ has the property $\mathscr{P}_T$ if its time averages along forward orbits of $T$ are maximized at a periodic…
We isolate conditions on the relative size of sets of natural numbers $A,B$ that guarantee a nonempty intersection $\Delta(A)\cap\Delta(B)\ne\emptyset$ of the corresponding sets of distances. Such conditions apply to a large class of zero…
In [6], a constraint on invariant measures of bi-permutative cellular automata has been observed: fixed values at the positive indices determine almost-surely a uniform conditional probability on the subset of values of positive conditional…
In this paper, we study an extension of the CPE conjecture to manifolds $M$ which support a structure relating curvature to the geometry of a smooth map $\varphi : M \to N$. The resulting system, denoted by $(\varphi-\mathrm{CPE})$, is…
We give a condition for absolute continuity of self-similar measures in arbitrary dimensions. This allows us to construct the first explicit absolutely continuous examples of inhomogeneous self-similar measures in dimension one and two. In…
We prove that for each positive integer $N$ the set of smooth, zero degree maps $\psi\colon\mathbb{S}^2\to \mathbb{S}^2$ which have the following three properties: (1) there is a unique minimizing harmonic map $u\colon \mathbb{B}^3\to…
In this paper, we study the Kadec-Klee property for convergence in measure of noncommutative Orlicz spaces $L_{\varphi}(\widetilde{\mathcal{M}},\tau)$, where $\widetilde{\mathcal{M}}$ is a von Neumann algebra, and $\varphi$ is an Orlicz…
