Using the description of the Frobenius limit of modules over the ring of invariants under an action of a finite group on a polynomial ring over a field of characteristic $p>0$ developed by Symonds and the author, we give a characterization…
We develop a method for determining the density of squarefree values taken by certain multivariate integer polynomials that are invariants for the action of an algebraic group on a vector space. The method is shown to apply to the…
We study Laurent polynomials in any number of variables that are sums of at most $k$ monomials. We first show that the Mahler measure of such a polynomial is at least $h/2^{k-2}$, where $h$ is the height of the polynomial. Next, restricting…
Let $G$ be a real Lie group, $\Lambda<G$ a lattice and $H<G$ a connected semisimple subgroup without compact factors and with finite center. We define the notion of $H$-expanding measures $\mu$ on $H$ and, applying recent work of…
We consider orthogonally invariant probability measures on $\mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbb{R})$ and compare the mean of the logs of the moduli of eigenvalues of the matrices to the Lyapunov exponents of random matrix products independently drawn…
We give criteria for the escaping set and the Julia set of an entire function to have positive measure. The results are applied to Poincar\'e functions of semihyperbolic polynomials and to the Weierstra{\ss} $\sigma$-function.
We study qualitative properties of the set of recurrent points of finitely generated free semigroups of measurable maps. In the case of a single generator the classical Poincare recurrence theorem shows that these properties are closely…
The problem of defining a gauge invariant effective potential with a strict energetic interpretation is examined in the context of spontaneously broken gauge theories. It is shown that such a potential can be defined in terms of a composite…
Let $\LL_{\bf v}\subset \Z^D$ be a suitable cone semigroup and $\A_{\bf v}$ its reduced semigroup $C^*$-algebra. In this paper, we compute the $\LL_{\bf v}$-invariant measures in the transversal hull of the semigroup $\LL_{\bf v}$ that…
A notion of admissible probability measures $\mu$ on a locally compact Abelian group (LCA-group) $G$ with connected dual group $\hat G=\R^d\times \T^n$ is defined. To such a measure $\mu$, a closed semigroup $\Lambda(\mu)\subseteq…
We study systems of {\sigma}-algebras ordered by refinement and introduce the notion of an endogenous probability measure, invariant under admissible refinement transformations. We prove existence and structural properties of such measures…
We construct a family of probability measures on the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of a closed symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$. We show that these measures are Borel measures with respect to the topology induced by the Hofer metric.…
In this paper, we calculate estimates for invariant metrics on a finite type convex domain in $\mathbb C^n$ using the Sibony metric. We also discuss a possible modification of the Sibony metric.
Sufficient conditions are developed, under which the compound Poisson distribution has maximal entropy within a natural class of probability measures on the nonnegative integers. Recently, one of the authors [O. Johnson, {\em Stoch. Proc.…
The notion of a measure on the space of connections modulo gauge transformations that is invariant under diffeomorphisms of the base manifold is important in a variety of contexts in mathematical physics and topology. At the formal level,…
In this paper, we are interested in the more general concept of a polynomial (in)stability in mean in which the polynomial behaviour in the classical sense is replaced by a weaker requirement with respect to some probability measure. This…
Consider the polynomial ring in countably infinitely many variables over a field of characteristic zero, together with its natural action of the infinite general linear group G. We study the algebraic and homological properties of finitely…
The main aim of the paper is to introduce a new class of (semigroup-valued) measures that are ultrahomogeneous on the Boolean algebra of all clopen subsets of the Cantor space and to study their automorphism groups. A characterisation, in…
We investigate 4-dim gauge theories and gravitational theories with nonpolynomial actions containing an infinite series in covariant derivatives of the fields representing the expansion of a transcendental entire function. A class of entire…
We prove that there exists a diffusion process whose invariant measure is the three dimensional polymer measure $\nu_\lambda$ for all $\lambda>0$. We follow in part a previous incomplete unpublished work of the first named author with M.…
