Let $(\S^1,d_{\S^1})$ be the unit circle in $\R^2$ endowed with the arclength distance. We give a sufficient and necessary condition for a general probability measure $\mu$ to admit a well defined Fr\'echet mean on $(\S^1,d_{\S^1})$. %This…

For any pair of bounded observables $A$ and $B$ with pure point spectra, we construct an associated "joint observable" which gives rise to a notion of a joint (projective) measurement of $A$ and $B$, and which conforms to the intuition that…

Weighted Poincar\'e-type and related inequalities provide upper bounds of the variance of functions. Their application in sensitivity analysis allows for quickly identifying the active inputs. Although the efficiency in prioritizing inputs…

It is a well-known fact that Riemann Hypothesis will follows if the function identically equal to -1 can be arbitrarily approximated in the norm $\norma{.}$ of $L^{2}([0,1],dx)$ by functions of the form $f(x)=\sum_{k=1}^{n}a_{k}…

There are two definitions of the measurable functional on the topological vector space: as a linear and measurable real-valued function and as a pointwise limit of the sequence of the continious linear functionals. In general case they are…

It is shown that on every closed oriented Riemannian 4-manifold $(M,g)$ with positive scalar curvature, $$\int_M|W^+_g|^2d\mu_{g}\geq 2\pi^2(2\chi(M)+3\tau(M))-\frac{8\pi^2}{|\pi_1(M)|},$$ where $W^+_g$, $\chi(M)$ and $\tau(M)$ respectively…

Let $X = \{1,-1\}^\mathbb{N}$ be the symbolic space endowed with the product order. A Borel probability measure $\mu$ over $X$ is said to satisfy the FKG inequality if for any pair of continuous increasing functions $f$ and $g$ we have…

For probability measures $\mu$ on compact subsets of $\CC^n$ we define two functionals $J(\mu)$ and $W(\mu)$ modeled on discrete approximations to $\mu$ and multivariate Vandermonde determinants. We show that these functionals coincide, up…

In the 1960s Cargo and Shisha proved some majorizations for the distance among quasi-arithmetic means (defined as f^{-1}(\sum_{i=1}^{n} w_i f(a_i) for any continuous, strictly monotone function f:I->R, where I is an interval, and…

This is an elementary introduction to infinite-dimensional probability. In the lectures, we compute the exact mean values of some functionals on C[0,1] and L[0,1] by considering these functionals as infinite-dimensional random variables.…

Let a sequence of iid. random variables $\xi_1,...,\xi_n$ be given on a measurable space $(X,\cal X)$ with distribution $\mu$ together with a function $f(x_1,...,x_k)$ on the product space $(X^k,{\cal X}^k)$. Let $\mu_n$ denote the…

For sets $\mathcal Q$ and $\mathcal Y$, the generalized Fr\'echet mean $m \in \mathcal Q$ of a random variable $Y$, which has values in $\mathcal Y$, is any minimizer of $q\mapsto \mathbb E[\mathfrak c(q,Y)]$, where $\mathfrak c \colon…

Let $\mu$ and $\nu$ be two non-degenerate finite signed Borel measures defined on a proper convex cone of $\mathbb{R}^n$. We prove that if all convolution powers of $\mu$ and $\nu$ are appropriately equal (and non-zero) on a proper concave…

Let $\mu$ be a probability measure on $\mathbb{R}$. We give conditions on the Fourier transform of its density for functionals of the form $H(a)=\int_{\mathbb{R}^n}h(\langle a,x\rangle)\mu^n(dx)$ to be Schur monotone. As applications, we…

We construct an invariant measure $\mu$ for the Surface Quasi-Geostrophic (SQG) equation and show that almost all functions in the support of $\mu$ are initial conditions of global, unique solutions of SQG, that depend continuously on the…

We study large time behaviour of solutions of the Cauchy problem for equations of the form $\partial_tu-L u+\lambda u=f(x,u)+g(x,u)\cdot\mu$, where $L$ is the operator associated with a regular lower bounded semi-Dirichlet form…

The covariance function of a Gauss-Markov process evaluated at points $(s,t)$ admits a representation as a product of a function of $\min(s,t)$ and a function of $\max(s,t)$. We call these functions the covariance factors of a Gauss-Markov…

The halfspace depth of a $d$-dimensional point $x$ with respect to a finite (or probability) Borel measure $\mu$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ is defined as the infimum of the $\mu$-masses of all closed halfspaces containing $x$. A natural question is…

Given two weights $\sigma, w$ on $\mathbb R ^{n}$, the classical $g$-function satisfies the norm inequality $\lVert g (f\sigma)\rVert_{L ^2 (w)} \lesssim \lVert f\rVert_{L ^2 (\sigma)}$ if and only if the two weight Muckenhoupt $A_2$…

For a Radon measure $\mu$ on $\mathbb{R}^d$, define $C^n_\mu(x, t)= \ (\frac{1}{t^n} \ |\int_{B(x,t)} \frac{x-y}{t} \, d\mu(y)\ | \ )$. This coefficient quantifies how symmetric the measure $\mu$ is by comparing the center of mass at a…
