Let $A$ be a von Neumann algebra with no direct summand of Type $\roman I_2$, and let $\scr P(A)$ be its lattice of projections. Let $X$ be a Banach space. Let $m\:\scr P(A)\to X$ be a bounded function such that $m(p+q)=m(p)+m(q)$ whenever…

This paper concerns the dilations of Banach space operator-valued quantum measures. While the recently developed general dilation theory can lead to a projection (idempotent) valued dilation for any quantum measure over the projection…

We study some aspects of countably additive vector measures with values in $\ell_\infty$ and the Banach lattices of real-valued functions that are integrable with respect to such a vector measure. On the one hand, we prove that if $W…

We prove that any map between projection lattices of $AW^\ast$-algebras $A$ and $B$, where $A$ has no Type $I_2$ direct summand, that preserves orthocomplementation and suprema of arbitrary elements, is a restriction of a normal Jordan…

We will give an outline of the main results in our recent AMS Memoir, and include some new results, exposition and open problems. In that memoir we developed a general dilation theory for operator valued measures acting on Banach spaces…

We show that the variance of a probability measure $\mu$ on a compact subset $X$ of a complete metric space $M$ is bounded by the square of the circumradius $R$ of the canonical embedding of $X$ into the space $P(M)$ of probability measures…

With any convex function F on a finite-dimensional linear space X such that F goes to infinity at infinity, we associate a Borel measure on the dual space X*. This measure is obtained by pushing forward the measure exp(-F(x))dx under the…

Within Bishop-style constructive mathematics we study the classical McShane-Whitney theorem on the extendability of real-valued Lipschitz functions defined on a subset of a metric space. Using a formulation similar to the formulation of…

In this paper we establish a Besicovitch-Federer type projection theorem for general measures. Specifically, let $\mu$ be a finite Borel measure on $\mathbb{R}^n$ and let $0 < m < n$ be an integer. We show that, under the sole assumption…

We establish two fixed point theorems for certain mappings of contractive type. The first result is concerned with the case where such mappings take a nonempty, closed subset of a complete metric space $X$ into $X$, and the second with an…

In this paper, we establish some new variants of fixed point theorems for a large class of countably nonexpansive multi-valued mappings. Some fixed point theorems for the sum and the product of three multi-valued mappings defined on…

The Brunn-Minkowski Theory has seen several generalizations over the past century. Many of the core ideas have been generalized to measures. With the goal of framing these generalizations as a weighted Brunn-Minkowski theory, we prove the…

The Minkowski Question Mark function relates the continued-fraction representation of the real numbers, to their binary expansion. This function is peculiar in many ways; one is that its derivative is 'singular'. One can show by classical…

The main result of this paper states that if a Banach space X has the property that every bounded operator from an arbitrary subspace of X into an arbitrary Banach space of cotype 2 extends to a bounded operator on X, then…

Let $Z$ and $X$ be Banach spaces. Suppose that $X$ is Asplund. Let $\mathcal{M}$ be a bounded set of operators from $Z$ to $X$ with the following property: a bounded sequence $(z_n)_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ in $Z$ is weakly null if, for each $M…

Suppose -A admits a bounded H-infinity calculus of angle less than pi/2 on a Banach space E with Pisier's property (alpha), let B be a bounded linear operator from a Hilbert space H into the extrapolation space E_{-1} of E with respect to…

Gleason's theorem [A. Gleason, J. Math. Mech., \textbf{6}, 885 (1957)] is an important result in the foundations of quantum mechanics, where it justifies the Born rule as a mathematical consequence of the quantum formalism. Formally, it…

A metric projective structure is a manifold equipped with the unparametrised geodesics of some pseudo-Riemannian metric. We make acomprehensive treatment of such structures in the case that there is a projective Weyl curvature nullity…

We introduce two measures of weak non-compactness $Ja_E$ and $Ja$ that quantify, via distances, the idea of boundary behind James' compactness theorem. These measures tell us, for a bounded subset $C$ of a Banach space $E$ and for given…

This paper investigates the problem of extending measure theory to non-separable structures, from generalized descriptive set theory to a broader class of spaces beyond this framework. While various notions, such as the ideal of measure…
