We describe a new relation between the topology of hypersurface complements, Milnor fibers and degree of gradient mappings. In particular we show that any projective hypersurface has affine parts which are bouquets of spheres. The main…

We prove that for any $1 \le k<n$ and $s\le 1$, the union of any nonempty $s$-Hausdorff dimensional family of $k$-dimensional affine subspaces of ${\mathbb R}^n$ has Hausdorff dimension $k+s$. More generally, we show that for any $0 <…

We characterize when bivariate real analytic functions are "dimension expanding" when applied to a Cartesian product. If $P$ is a bivariate real analytic function that is not locally of the form $P(x,y) = h(a(x) + b(y))$, then whenever $A$…

Motivated by two norm equations used to characterize the Friedrichs angle, this paper studies $C^*$-isomorphisms associated with two projections by introducing the matched triple and the semi-harmonious pair of projections. A triple…

In a previous work we proved that if a finite Borel measure $\mu$ in a Euclidean space has Hausdorff dimension smaller than a positive integer $k$, then the orthogonal projection onto almost every $k$-dimensional linear subspace is…

Let $\mathscr{A}$ be an abelian category having enough projective and injective objects, and let $\mathscr{T}$ be an additive subcategory of $\mathscr{A}$ closed under direct summands. A known assertion is that in a short exact sequence in…

We establish convergence in norm and pointwise almost everywhere for the non-conventional (in the sense of Furstenberg) bilinear polynomial ergodic averages \[ A_N(f,g)(x) := \frac{1}{N} \sum_{n =1}^N f(T^nx) g(T^{P(n)}x)\] as $N \to…

We solve a class of lifting problems involving approximate polynomial relations (soft polynomial relations). Various associated C*-algebras are therefore projective. The technical lemma we need is a new manifestation of Akemann and…

Let $B$ be a $d$-dimensional Gaussian process on $\mathbb{R}$, where the component are independents copies of a scalar Gaussian process $B_0$ on $\mathbb{R}_+$ with a given general variance function…

We study the arithmetic structure of the exceptional set of projections. For any bounded subset $E\subset \mathbb{R}^d$, let $$ \Omega=\{\xi\in \mathbb{R}: \dim_B(E+\xi E)=\dim_B E\}. $$ We prove that either $\Omega=\{0\}$ or $\Omega$ is a…

In 1954 Marstrand proved that if K is a subset of R^2 with Hausdorff dimension greater than 1, then its one-dimensional projection has positive Lebesgue measure for almost-all directions. In this article, we give a combinatorial proof of…

The classical fiber product in algebraic geometry provides a powerful tool for studying loci where two morphisms to a base scheme, $\phi: X \to S$ and $\psi: Y \to S$, coincide exactly. This condition of strict equality, however, is…

Given $\ut\in\Rm$ and any norm $\Vert.\Vert$ on $\Rm$, we consider "inhomogeneously singular" vectors in $\Rm$ that admit an integer vector solution $(q,\underline{p})=(q,p_1,\ldots,p_m)$ to the system \[ 1\leq q\leq Q, \qquad \Vert…

We study the geometric properties of random multiplicative cascade measures defined on self-similar sets. We show that such measures and their projections and sections are almost surely exact-dimensional, generalizing Feng and Hu's result…

We give a new proof of the discretized ring theorem for sets of real numbers. As a special case, we show that if $A\subset\mathbb{R}$ is a $(\delta,1/2)_1$-set in the sense of Katz and Tao, then either $A+A$ or $A.A$ must have measure at…

We study various measure theories using the classical approach and then compute the Hausdorff dimension of some simple objects and self-similar fractals. We then develop a nonstandard approach to these measure theories and examine the…

Let $k$ be a commutative ring, let $\mathcal{C}$ be a small, $k$-linear, Hom-finite, locally bounded category, and let $\mathcal{B}$ be a $k$-linear abelian category. We construct a Frobenius exact subcategory…

According to the von Neumann-Halperin and Lapidus theorems, in a Hilbert space the iterates of products or, respectively, of convex combinations of orthoprojections are strongly convergent. We extend these results to the iterates of convex…

Let E be a plane self-affine set defined by affine transformations with linear parts given by matrices with positive entries. We show that if mu is a Bernoulli measure on E with dim_H mu = dim_L mu, where dim_H and dim_L denote Hausdorff…

Let $E, F\subset \R^d$ be two self-similar sets. Under mild conditions, we show that $F$ can be $C^1$-embedded into $E$ if and only if it can be affinely embedded into $E$; furthermore if $F$ can not be affinely embedded into $E$, then the…
