The analysis of samples of random objects that do not lie in a vector space is gaining increasing attention in statistics. An important class of such object data is univariate probability measures defined on the real line. Adopting the…

We establish a transversality theorem for multiple-point crossings under generic linear perturbations with explicit Hausdorff measure estimates for the exceptional parameter set, and hence explicit upper bounds on its Hausdorff dimension.…

Combining the tools of geometric analysis with properties of Jordan angles and angle space distributions, we derive a spherical and a Euclidean Bernstein theorem for minimal submanifolds of arbitrary dimension and codimension, under the…

Motivated by the existence problem of Fourier frames on fractal measures, we introduce Bessel and frame measures for a given finite measure on $\br^d$, as extensions of the notions of Bessel and frame spectra that correspond to bases of…

Let $M$ be a $d$-dimensional complete Riemannian manifold and let $\pi: SM \to M$ denote the canonical projection from the unit tangent bundle. We prove that if $E \subset SM$ is a set that invariant under the geodesic flow with Hausdorff…

Let $U$ be a unitary operator acting on the Hilbert space $H$, $\a:\{1,..., 2k\}\mapsto\{1,..., k\}$ a pair--partition, and finally $A_{1},...,A_{2k-1}\in B(H)$. We show that the ergodic average $$…

This paper is concerned mainly with the macroscopic fractal behavior of various random sets that arise in modern and classical probability theory. Among other things, it is shown here that the macroscopic behavior of Boolean coverage…

We construct a recurrent diffusion process with values in the space of probability measures over an arbitrary closed Riemannian manifold of dimension $d\ge 2$. The process is associated with the Dirichlet form defined by integration of the…

We study fractal measures on Euclidean space through the dynamics of "zooming in" on typical points. The resulting family of measures (the "scenery"), can be interpreted as an orbit in an appropriate dynamical system which often…

We interpret the combinatorial Mandelbrot set in terms of \it{quadratic laminations} (equivalence relations $\sim$ on the unit circle invariant under $\sigma_2$). To each lamination we associate a particular {\em geolamination} (the…

We present a self-contained proof of a formula for the $L^q$ dimensions of self-similar measures on the real line under exponential separation (up to the proof of an inverse theorem for the $L^q$ norm of convolutions). This is a special…

Assuming that a threshold Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process is observed at discrete time instants, we propose generalized moment estimators to estimate the parameters. Our theoretical basis is the celebrated ergodic theorem. To use this theorem we…

We develop the theory of multiresolutions in the context of Hausdorff measure of fractional dimension between 0 and 1. While our fractal wavelet theory has points of similarity that it shares with the standard case of Lebesgue measure on…

Building on the first two authors' previous results, we prove a general criterion for convergence of (possibly singular) Bergman measures towards equilibrium measures on complex manifolds. The criterion may be formulated in terms of growth…

The Furstenberg recurrence theorem (or equivalently, Szemer\'edi's theorem) can be formulated in the language of von Neumann algebras as follows: given an integer $k \geq 2$, an abelian finite von Neumann algebra $(\M,\tau)$ with an…

Shortly after Szemer\'edi's proof that a set of positive upper density contains arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions, Furstenberg gave a new proof of this theorem using ergodic theory. This gave rise to the field of ergodic Ramsey…

We study natural measures on sets of beta-expansions and on slices through self similar sets. In the setting of beta-expansions, these allow us to better understand the measure of maximal entropy for the random beta-transformation and to…

This paper studies the Hausdorff dimension of the intersection of isotropic projections of subsets of $\mathbb{R}^{2n}$, as well as dimension of intersections of sets with isotropic planes. It is shown that if $A$ and $B$ are Borel subsets…

We introduce the notion of Bartlett spectral measure for isometrically invariant random measures on proper metric commutative spaces. When the underlying Gelfand pair corresponds to a higher-rank, connected, simple matrix Lie group with…

We construct first a class of Moran fractals in R^d with countably many generators and non-stationary contraction rates; at each step n, the contractions depend on n-truncated sequences, and are related to asymptotic letter frequencies. In…
