In this note I prove the following property of Herglotz functions, which to my knowledge is new: For a Herglotz function $h(z)$ and a real number $r \in \mathbb R$ define a Herglotz function $g_r(z) = (r - h(z))^{-1}.$ Let $\mu_r^{(s)}$ be…

Given two nondegenerate Borel probability measures $\mu$ and $\nu$ on $\mathbb{R}_{+}=[0,\infty)$, we prove that their free multiplicative convolution $\mu\boxtimes\nu$ has zero singular continuous part and its absolutely continuous part…

We consider the space $C_{\lambda}$ of all continuous interval maps preserving the Lebesgue measure $\lambda$. A continuous function $f\colon~[0,1]\to \mathbb R$ is called Besicovitch if it does not have any finite or infinite unilateral…

We consider a family S=S(a) of 2-valued transformations of special form on the segment [0,1] with measure $\mu=\int p(x) d\lambda$, which is absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure $\lambda$. We endow S with a set of…

We prove that certain quotients of entire functions are characteristic functions. Under some conditions, the probability measure corresponding to a characteristic function of that type has a density which can be expressed as a generalized…

We prove that complex Bernoulli convolutions are absolutely continuous in the supercritical parameter region, outside of an exceptional set of parameters of zero Hausdorff dimension. Similar results are also obtained in the biased case, and…

A permutation sequence $(\sigma_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ is said to be convergent if, for every fixed permutation $\tau$, the density of occurrences of $\tau$ in the elements of the sequence converges. We prove that such a convergent sequence…

Let $\beta\in(1,2)$ and let $H_\beta$ denote Garsia's entropy for the Bernoulli convolution $\mu_\beta$ associated with $\beta$. In the present paper we show that $H_\beta>0.82$ for all $\beta \in (1, 2)$ and improve this bound for certain…

We consider an independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) random dynamical system of simple linear transformations on the unit interval $T_{\beta}(x)=\beta x$ (mod $1$), $x\in[0,1]$, $\beta>0$, which are the so-called…

The exponential growth rate of non polynomially growing subgroups of $GL_d$ is conjectured to admit a uniform lower bound. This is known for non-amenable subgroups, while for amenable subgroups it is known to imply the Lehmer conjecture…

Let $\nu_\lambda^p$ be the distribution of the random series $\sum_{n=1}^\infty i_n \lambda^n$, where $i_n$ is a sequence of i.i.d. random variables taking the values 0,1 with probabilities $p,1-p$. These measures are the well-known…

We prove that all convolution products of pairs of continuous orbital measures in rank one, compact symmetric spaces are absolutely continuous and determine which convolution products are in $L^{2}$ (meaning, their density function is in…

We show how to turn the question of the absolute continuity of Bernoulli convolutions into one of counting the growth of the number of overlaps in the system. When the contraction parameter is a hyperbolic algebraic integer, we turn this…

We consider the "Mandelbrot set" $M$ for pairs of complex linear maps, introduced by Barnsley and Harrington in 1985 and studied by Bousch, Bandt and others. It is defined as the set of parameters $\lambda$ in the unit disk such that the…

Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ be an open set whose boundary may be composed of pieces of different dimensions. Assume that $\Omega$ satisfies the quantitative openness and connectedness, and there exist doubling measures $m$ on…

In this note we present an algorithm to obtain a uniform lower bound on Hausdorff dimension of the stationary measure of an affine iterated function scheme with similarities, the best known example of which is Bernoulli convolution. The…

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…

As a natural counterpart to Nakada's $\alpha$-continued fraction maps, we study a one-parameter family of continued fraction transformations with an indifferent fixed point. We prove that matching holds for Lebesgue almost every parameter…

We construct a Lebesgue measure preserving natural extension of the random beta-transformation. This allows us to give a formula for the density of the absolutely continuous invariant probability measure, answering a question of Dajani and…
