This paper contributes to the study of the free additive convolution of probability measures. It shows that under some conditions, if measures $\mu_i$ and $\nu_i, i=1,2$, are close to each other in terms of the L\'{e}vy metric and if the…

For $0<\rho<1$ and $N>1$ an integer, let $\mu$ be the self-similar measure defined by $\mu(\cdot)=\sum_{i=0}^{N-1}\frac 1N\mu(\rho^{-1}(\cdot)-i)$. We prove that $L^2(\mu)$ has an exponential orthonormal basis if and only if $\rho=\frac 1q$…

A measure $\mu$ on the unit circle $\mathbb{T}$ belongs to Steklov class $\mathcal{S}$ if its density $w$ with respect to the Lebesgue measure on $\mathbb{T}$ is strictly positive: $\inf_{\mathbb{T}} w > 0$. Let $\mu$, $\mu_{-1}$ be…

In his 1985 survey of notions of exchangeability, Aldous introduced a form of exchangeability corresponding to the symmetries of the infinite discrete cube, and asked whether these exchangeable probability measures enjoy a representation…

Suppose R is a finite commutative ring of prime characteristic, A is a finite R-module, M:=Z^D x N^E, and F is an R-linear cellular automaton on A^M. If mu is an F-invariant measure which is multiply shift-mixing in a certain way, then we…

Let $\mu$ be a probability measure on $\mathbb{Z}$ that is not a Dirac mass and that has finite support. We prove that if the coefficients of a monic polynomial $f(x)\in\mathbb{Z}[x]$ of degree $n$ are chosen independently at random…

Let $Q_n$ denote a random symmetric $n$ by $n$ matrix, whose upper diagonal entries are i.i.d. Bernoulli random variables (which take values 0 and 1 with probability 1/2). We prove that $Q_n$ is non-singular with probability…

Let $\beta\in(1,2)$ be a Pisot number and let $H_\beta$ denote Garsia's entropy for the Bernoulli convolution associated with $\beta$. Garsia, in 1963 showed that $H_\beta<1$ for any Pisot $\beta$. For the Pisot numbers which satisfy…

In this note, we mainly show the analogue of one of Alladi's formulas over $\mathbb{Q}$ with respect to the Dirichlet convolutions involving the M\"{o}bius function $\mu(n)$, which is related to the natural densities of sets of primes by…

Two results concerning the number of threshold functions $P(2, n)$ and the probability ${\mathbb P}_n$ that a random $n\times n$ Bernoulli matrix is singular are established. We introduce a supermodular function $\eta^{\bigstar}_n : 2^{{\bf…

We consider infinitely convolved Bernoulli measures (or simply Bernoulli convolutions) related to the $\beta$-numeration. A matrix decomposition of these measures is obtained in the case when $\beta$ is a PV number. We also determine their…

The main purpose of this paper is to study the arithmetical properties of values \(\sum_{m=0}^{\infty} \beta^{-w(m)}\), where \(\beta\) is a fixed Pisot or Salem number and \(w(m)\) (\(m=0,1,\ldots\)) are distinct sequences of nonnegative…

Let $f(z)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty a(n)q^n\in S^{\text{new}}_ k (\Gamma_0(N))$ be a newform with squarefree level $N$ that does not have complex multiplication. For a prime $p$, define $\theta_p\in[0,\pi]$ to be the angle for which $a(p)=2p^{( k…

Let $m$, $r$ and $n$ be positive integers. We denote by ${\bf k}\vdash n$ any tuple of odd positive integers ${\bf k}=(k_1,\dots,k_t)$ such that $k_1+\dots+k_t=n$ and $k_j\ge 3$ for all $j$. In this paper we prove that for every…

An infinite sequence $\alpha$ over an alphabet $\Sigma$ is $\mu$-distributed w.r.t. a probability map $\mu$ if, for every finite string $w$, the limiting frequency of $w$ in $\alpha$ exists and equals $\mu(w)$. %We raise the question of how…

We construct the entropic measure $\mathbb{P}^\beta$ on compact manifolds of any dimension. It is defined as the push forward of the Dirichlet process (another random probability measure, well-known to exist on spaces of any dimension)…

We introduce and carefully study a natural probability measure over the numerical range of a complex matrix $A \in M_n(\C)$. This numerical measure $\mu_A$ can be defined as the law of the random variable $<AX,X> \in \C$ when the vector $X…

We show that for any set $A\subseteq [0,1]^n$ with $\text{Vol}(A)\ge 1/2$ there exists a line $\ell $ such that the one-dimensional Lebesgue measure of $\ell \cap A$ is at least $\Omega ( n^{1/4} )$. The exponent $1/4$ is tight. More…
