Let $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$ be unital finite-dimensional complex algebras, each equipped with the unique Hausdorff vector topology. Denote by $\mathrm{Max}(\mathcal{A})=\{\mathcal{M}_1, \ldots, \mathcal{M}_p\}$ and…
We consider pairs of a non-empty compact connected and locally connected Hausdorff space and a real-valued continuous function. Our aim is to measure the difference between this kind of the pairs. In this notes we introduce new…
We provide a number of conditions on the rational numbers $u$ and $v$ which ensure that the Laurent series $g_{u,v}(x):=\prod_{t=0}^\infty (1+ux^{-3^t} + vx^{-2\cdot 3^t})$ is badly approximable.
We introduce almost supplementary difference sets (ASDS). For odd $m$, certain ASDS in ${\mathbb Z}_m$ that have amicable incidence matrices are equivalent to quaternary sequences of odd length $m$ with optimal autocorrelation. As one…
Federer's characterization of sets of finite perimeter states (in Euclidean spaces) that a set is of finite perimeter if and only if the measure-theoretic boundary of the set has finite Hausdorff measure of codimension one. In complete…
For an infinite iterated function system $\mathbf{f}$ on $[0,1]$ with an attractor $\Lambda(\mathbf{f})$ and for an infinite subset $D\subseteq \mathbb{N}$, consider the set \[ \mathbb E(\mathbf{f},D)= \{ x \in \Lambda(\mathbf{f}):…
In 1988 K. Falconer introduced a formula which predicts the value of the Hausdorff dimension of the attractor of an affine iterated function system. The value given by this formula -- sometimes referred to as the affinity dimension -- is…
Let $\mathbb{F}$ be a field, and $n \geq p \geq r>0$ be integers. In a recent article, Rubei has determined, when $\mathbb{F}$ is the field of real numbers, the greatest possible dimension for an affine subspace of $n$--by--$p$ matrices…
For a given irrational number $\alpha$ and a real number $\gamma$ in $(0,1)$ one defines the two-sided inhomogeneous approximation constant \begin{equation*} M(\alpha,\gamma):=\liminf_{|n|\rightarrow\infty}|n| ||n\alpha-\gamma||,…
Inspired by the bad scientist who keeps repeating an experiment 20 times to get a single outcome with $p < 0.05$, we consider matrices $A \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$ whose rows are normalized in $\ell^2$ and for which $2^{-n}\sum_{x \in…
For all $n \geq 2$, we construct a metric space $(X,d)$ and a quasisymmetric mapping $f\colon [0,1]^n \rightarrow X$ with the property that $f^{-1}$ is not absolutely continuous with respect to the Hausdorff $n$-measure on $X$. That is,…
Let $\mathbf{P}=\{ p_1, p_2, \ldots p_n \}$ and $\mathbf{Q} = \{ q_1, q_2 \ldots q_m \}$ be two point sets in an arbitrary metric space. Let $\mathbf{A}$ represent the $m\times n$ pairwise distance matrix with $\mathbf{A}_{i,j} = d(p_i,…
To every Gorenstein algebra $A$ of finite vector space dimension greater than 1 over a field $\FF$ of characteristic zero, and a linear projection $\pi$ on its maximal ideal ${\mathfrak m}$ with range equal to the annihilator…
We consider point sets in the $m$-dimensional affine space $\mathbb{F}_q^m$ where each squared Euclidean distance of two points is a square in $\mathbb{F}_q$. It turns out that the situation in $\mathbb{F}_q^m$ is rather similar to the one…
We highlight a connection between Diophantine approximation and the lower Assouad dimension by using information about the latter to show that the Hausdorff dimension of the set of badly approximable points that lie in certain non-conformal…
The form factor of the unitary group U(N) endowed with the Haar measure characterizes the correlations within the spectrum of a typical unitary matrix. It can be decomposed into a sum over pairs of ``periodic orbits'', where by periodic…
Amenability of any of the algebras described in the title is known to force them to be finite-dimensional. The analogous problems for \emph{approximate} amenability have been open for some years now. In this article we give a complete…
Let $X=\bigcup\varphi_{i}X$ be a strongly separated self-affine set in $\mathbb{R}^2$ (or one satisfying the strong open set condition). Under mild non-compactness and irreducibility assumptions on the matrix parts of the $\varphi_{i}$, we…
Consider a matrix polynomial $P \left( \lambda \right)= A_0 + \lambda A_1 + \ldots + \lambda^d A_d$, with $A_0,\ldots, A_d$ complex (or real) matrices with a certain structure. In this paper we discuss an iterative method to numerically…
Previous work has shown that the Hausdorff dimension of sofic affine-invariant sets is expressed as a limit involving intricate matrix products. This limit has typically been regarded as incalculable. However, in several highly non-trivial…
