Let $(M,d)$ be a separable and complete geodesic space with curvature lower bounded, by $\kappa\in \mathbb R$, in the sense of Alexandrov. Let $\mu$ be a Borel probability measure on $M$, such that $\mu\in\mathcal P_2(M)$, and that has at…

We introduce the antipodal pairs property for probability measures on finite Boolean algebras and prove that conditional versions imply strong forms of log-concavity. We give several applications of this fact, including improvements of some…

Positive configurations of points in the affine building were introduced in \cite{Le} as the basic object needed to define higher laminations. We start by giving a self-contained, elementary definition of positive configurations of points…

In 2004, de Mathan and Teuli\'e stated the $p$-adic Littlewood Conjecture ($p$-$LC$) in analogy with the classical Littlewood Conjecture. Given a field $\mathbb{K}$ and an irreducible polynomial $p(t)$ with coefficients in $\mathbb{K}$,…

We prove an analog of Rudolph's theorem for actions of countable amenable groups, which asserts that among invariant measures with entropy at least c on the $G$-shift $(\Lambda^G,\sigma)$, a typical measure has entropy $c$ and is Bernoulli.…

Topological measures and quasi-linear functionals generalize measures and linear functionals. We define and study deficient topological measures on locally compact spaces. A deficient topological measure on a locally compact space is a set…

We prove a strong analogue of Liouville's Theorem in Diophantine approximation for points on arbitrary algebraic varieties. We use this theorem to prove a conjecture of the first author for cubic surfaces in $\P^3$.

Positive definite functions are very important in both theory and applications of approximation theory, probability and statistics. In particular, identifying strictly positive definite kernels is of great interest as interpolation problems…

This article gives a new proof of the fundamental lemma of the "weakly admissible implies admissible" theorem of Colmez-Fontaine that describes the semi-stable p-adic representations. To this end, we introduce the category of spectral…

A probability-measure-preserving transformation has the Weak Pinsker Property (WPP) if for every $\epsilon>0$ it is measurably conjugate to the direct product of a transformation with entropy $<\epsilon$ and a Bernoulli shift. In a recent…

We develop the theory of invariant structure preserving and free functions on a general structured topological space. We show that an invariant structure preserving function is pointwise approximiable by the appropriate analog of…

The Three Gap Theorem, also known as the Steinhaus Conjecture, is a classical result on the combinatorics of the fractional part function, and has since been generalized in many ways. In this paper, we pose a new problem related to these…

In this paper we prove the conjecture posed by Kl\'en et al. in \cite{kvz}, and give optimal inequalities for generalized trigonometric and hyperbolic functions.

We prove a p-adic, local version of the Monotonicity Theorem for P-minimal structures. The existence of such a theorem was originally conjectured by Haskell and Macpherson. We approach the problem by considering the first order strict…

We prove a version of the Gindikin-Karpelevich formula for untwisted affine Kac-Moody groups over a local field of positive characteristic. The proof is geometric and it is based on the results of [1] about intersection cohomology of…

In the work it is shown that the space of idempotent probability measures with compact supports is kappa-metrizable if the given Tychonoff space is kappa-metrizable. It is constructed a series of max-plus-convex subfunctors of the functor…

A number alpha in R is diophantine if it is not well approximable by rationals, i.e. for some C, nu>0 and any relatively prime p, q in Z we have |alpha q -p|>C q^{-1-\vu}. It is well-known and easy to prove that almost every alpha in R is…

A basilar property and a useful tool in the theory of Sobolev spaces is the density of smooth compactly supported functions in the space $W^{k,p}(\R^n)$ (i.e. the functions with weak derivatives of orders $0$ to $k$ in $L^p$). On Riemannian…

At the end of 1960's, Lawrence Zalcman posed a conjecture that the coefficients of univalent functions $f(z) = z + \sum\limits_2^\infty a_n z^n$ on the unit disk satisfy the sharp inequality $|a_n^2 - a_{2n-1}| \le (n-1)^2$, with equality…

We give a new definition of a $p$-adic $L$-function for a mixed signature character of a real quadratic field and for a nontrivial ray class character of an imaginary quadratic field. We then state a $p$-adic Stark conjecture for this…
