The class of $\alpha$-stable distributions received much interest for modelling impulsive phenomena occur in engineering, economics, insurance, and physics. The lack of non-analytical form for probability density function is considered as…
Invariant tori play a fundamental role in the dynamics of symplectic and volume-preserving maps. Codimension-one tori are particularly important as they form barriers to transport. Such tori foliate the phase space of integrable,…
Consider a uniform variate on the unit upper-half sphere of dimension $d$. It is known that the straight-line projection through the center of the unit sphere onto the plane above it distributes this variate according to a $d$-dimensional…
The Cauchy distribution is usually presented as a mathematical curiosity, an exception to the Law of Large Numbers, or even as an "Evil" distribution in some introductory courses. It therefore surprised us when Drton and Xiao (2016) proved…
We investigate global solvability, in the framework of smooth functions and Schwartz distributions, of certain sums of squares of vector fields defined on a product of compact Riemannian manifolds $T \times G$, where $G$ is further assumed…
We study the ergodic properties of quantized ergodic maps of the torus. It is known that these satisfy quantum ergodicity: For almost all eigenstates, the expectation values of quantum observables converge to the classical phase-space…
It is known that each symmetric stable distribution in $R^d$ is related to a norm on $R^d$ that makes $R^d$ embeddable in $L_p([0,1])$. In case of a multivariate Cauchy distribution the unit ball in this norm corresponds is the polar set to…
We prove results towards the equidistribution of certain families of periodic torus orbits on homogeneous spaces, with particular focus on the case of the diagonal torus acting on quotients of $\PGL_n(\R)$. After attaching to each periodic…
We study the limiting distributions of Birkhoff sums of a large class of cost functions (observables) evaluated along orbits, under the Gauss map, of rational numbers in $(0,1]$ ordered by denominators. We show convergence to a stable law…
We review the main ideas and results in the stationary problems of quantum chaos in generic (mixed) systems, whose classical dynamics has regular (invariant tori) and chaotic regions coexisting in the phase space. First we discuss the…
It has recently been speculated that statistical properties of chaos may be captured by weighted sums over unstable invariant tori embedded in the chaotic attractor of hyperchaotic dissipative systems; analogous to sums over periodic orbits…
We prove a general theorem on the persistence of Whitney infinitely smooth families of invariant tori in the reversible context 2 of KAM theory. This context refers to the situation where dim Fix G < (codim T)/2 where Fix G is the fixed…
We begin a program of work aimed at examining the interior of a rotating black hole with a non--zero cosmological constant. The generalisation of Teukolsky's equation for the radial mode functions is presented. It is shown that the energy…
In this paper, we study the Cauchy and Goursat problems of the spin-$n/2$ zero rest-mass equations on Minkowski spacetime by using the conformal geometric method. In our strategy, we prove the wellposedness of the Cauchy problem in…
We consider the distribution of the values at real points of random functions which belong to the Herglotz-Pick (HP) class of analytic mappings of the upper half plane into itself. It is shown that under mild stationarity assumptions the…
In this paper, we discuss the representability almost everywhere (a.e.) in the plane of an irreducible algebraic function as the Cauchy transform of a signed measure supported on a finite number of compact semi-analytic curves and a finite…
We prove almost global existence for supercritical nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations on the $d$-torus ($d$ arbitrary) on the good geometry selected in part I. This is seen as the Cauchy consequence of I, since the known invariant measure of…
In the present work, we show how the generalized Cram\'er-Rao inequality for the estimation of a parameter, presented in a recent paper, can be extended to the mutidimensional case with general norms on $\mathbb{R}^{n}$, and to a wider…
We prove the existence of real analytic Hamiltonians with topologically unstable quasi-periodic invariant tori. Using various versions of our examples, we solve the following problems in the stability theory of analytic quasi-periodic…
