We discuss how the diffraction theory of a single translation bounded measure or a family of such measures can be understood within the framework of unitary group representations. This allows us to prove an orthogonality feature of measures…
We develop operator renewal theory for flows and apply this to obtain results on mixing and rates of mixing for a large class of finite and infinite measure semiflows. Examples of systems covered by our results include suspensions over…
Consider a semimartingale reflecting Brownian motion (SRBM) $Z$ whose state space is the $d$-dimensional nonnegative orthant. The data for such a process are a drift vector $\theta$, a nonsingular $d\times d$ covariance matrix $\Sigma$, and…
Using Caratheodory measures, we associate to each positive orbit ${\mathcal O}_{f}^{+}(x)$ of a measurable map $f$, a Borel measure $\eta_{x}$. We show that $\eta_{x}$ is $f$-invariant whenever $f$ is continuous or $\eta_{x}$ is a…
We study the time it takes for all states of a finite quantum system to return simultaneously to their original configuration. In particular, we define the recurrence time for a quantum system to be the time at which all time-evolved states…
We describe a quantum mechanical measurement as a variational principle including interaction between the system under measurement and the measurement apparatus. Augmenting the action with a nonlocal term (a double integration over the…

We prove a Donsker and a Glivenko--Cantelli theorem for sequences of random discrete measures generalizing empirical measures. Those two results hold under standard conditions upon bracketing numbers of the indexing class of functions. As a…
Motivated by Sarnak's conjecture on M\"obius orthogonality, we investigate the general problem of orthogonality for a bounded sequence to topological models of characteristic classes of measure-preserving automorphisms. Our main observation…
The constitutive quantities in Mori's theory, the residual forces, are expanded in terms of time dependent correlation functions and products of operators at $t=0$, where it is assumed that the time derivatives of the observables are given…
This paper investigates continuity properties of value functions and solutions for parametric optimization problems. These problems are important in operations research, control, and economics because optimality equations are their…
The so-called Fundamental Theorem of Dynamical Systems -- which(1) relates attractors and repellers to the chain recurrent set and (2) gives the existence of a complete Lyapunov function -- can be seen as a means of separating out…
We investigate Keisler measures in arbitrary theories. Our initial focus is on Borel definability. We show that when working over countable parameter sets in countable theories, Borel definable measures are closed under Morley products and…
For any countable group $\Gamma$ satisfying the ``weak Rohlin property'', and for any dynamical property, the set of $\Gamma$-actions with that property is either residual or meager. The class of groups with the weak Rohlin property…
A classical theorem of Fatou asserts that the Radon-Nikodym derivative of any finite positive Borel measure, $\mu$, with respect to Lebesgue measure on the complex unit circle, is recovered as the non-tangential limits of its Poisson…
We consider uniformly (DC) or periodically (AC) driven generalized infinite elastic chains (a generalized Frenkel-Kontorova model) with gradient dynamics. We first show that the union of supports of all the invariant measures, denoted by A,…
We study the quantization for a class of in-homogeneous self-similar measures $\mu$ supported on self-similar sets. Assuming the open set condition for the corresponding iterated function system, we prove the existence of the quantization…

The current series of papers is concerned with stochastic stability of monotone dynamical systems by identifying the basic dynamical units that can survive in the presence of noise interference. In the first of the series, for the…
Let $(X,T)$ be a topological dynamical system. We define the measure-theoretical lower and upper entropies $\underline{h}_\mu(T)$, $\bar{h}_\mu(T)$ for any $\mu\in M(X)$, where $M(X)$ denotes the collection of all Borel probability measures…
