For a metrizable space $X$ and a finite measure space $(\Omega,\mathfrak{M},\mu)$ let $M_{\mu}(X)$ and $M^f_{\mu}(X)$ be the spaces of all equivalence classes (under the relation of equality almost everywhere mod $\mu$) of…

We prove that for any Borel probability measure $\mu$ on $\mathbb R^n$ there exists a set $X\subset \mathbb R^n$ of $n+1$ points such that any $n$-variate quadratic polynomial $P$ that is nonnegative on $X$ (i.e. $P(x)\geq 0$, for every $x…

It is well known that in dimension one the set of Dirichlet improvable real numbers consists precisely of badly approximable and singular numbers. We show that in higher dimensions this is not the case by proving that there exist continuum…

The asymptotic structure of the gravitational field of isolated systems has been analyzed in great detail in the case when the cosmological constant $\Lambda$ is zero. The resulting framework lies at the foundation of research in diverse…

We investigate the traceability of positive integral operators on $L^2(X,\mu)$ when $X$ is a Hausdorff locally compact second countable space and $\mu$ is a non-degenerate, $\sigma$-finite and locally finite Borel measure. This setting…

Let $(X, d)$ be a compact metric space and let $\mathcal{M}(X)$ denote the space of all finite signed Borel measures on $X$. Define $I \colon \mathcal{M}(X) \to \R$ by \[ I(\mu) = \int_X \int_X d(x,y) d\mu(x) d\mu(y), \] and set $M(X) =…

The main goals of this paper are: i) To develop an abstract differential calculus on metric measure spaces by investigating the duality relations between differentials and gradients of Sobolev functions. This will be achieved without…

We prove that if $X$ is a real rearrangement-invariant function space on $[0,1]$, which is not isometrically isomorphic to $L_2,$ then every surjective isometry $T:X\to X$ is of the form $Tf(s)=a(s)f(\sigma(s))$ for a Borel function $a$ and…

In this paper, we extend the work of Pollington and Velani in \cite{PV} to an $S$-arithmetic set-up, where $S$ is a finite set of valuations of $\mathbb{Q}$. In particular, for an `absolutely friendly' measure supported on a compact set in…

We initiate the rigorous study of classification in semimetric spaces, which are point sets with a distance function that is non-negative and symmetric, but need not satisfy the triangle inequality. For metric spaces, the doubling dimension…

Let $\{x\_n\}\_{n\geq 0}$ be a sequence of $[0,1]^d$, $\{\lambda\_n\} \_{n\geq 0}$ a sequence of positive real numbers converging to 0, and $\delta>1$. Let $\mu$ be a positive Borel measure on $[0,1]^d$, $\rho\in (0,1]$ and $\alpha>0$.…

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…

Given a finite Borel measure $\mu$ on R n and basic semi-algebraic sets $\Omega$\_i $\subset$ R n , i = 1,. .. , p, we provide a systematic numerical scheme to approximate as closely as desired $\mu$(\cup\_i $\Omega$\_i), when all moments…

We introduce a continuous analog of the Fourier ratio for compactly supported Borel measures. For a measure \(\mu\) on \(\mathbb{R}^d\) and \(f\in L^2(\mu)\), the Fourier ratio compares \(L^1\) and \(L^2\) norms of a regularized Fourier…

We exploit dynamical properties of diagonal actions to derive results in Diophantine approximations. In particular, we prove that the continued fraction expansion of almost any point on the middle third Cantor set (with respect to the…

In this paper, we extend the theory of simultaneous Diophantine approximation to infinite dimensions. Moreover, we discuss Dirichlet-type theorems in a very general framework and define what it means for such a theorem to be optimal. We…

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…

In this article we introduce the notion of badly approximable matrices of higher order using higher sucessive minima in $\mathbb R^d$. We prove that for order less than $d$, they have Lebesgue measure zero and the gaps between them still…

Finite metric spaces are the object of study in many data analysis problems. We examine the concept of weak isometry between finite metric spaces, in order to analyse properties of the spaces that are invariant under strictly increasing…

We prove the hyperplane absolute winning property of weighted inhomogeneous badly approximable vectors in $\mathbb{R}^d$. This answers a question by Beresnevich--Nesharim--Yang and extends the main result of [Geometric and Functional…
