Work in the measure algebra of the Lebesgue measure on the Cantor space: for comeager many $[A]$ the set of points $x$ such that the density of $x $ at $A$ is not defined is $\Sigma^{0}_{3}$-complete; for some compact $K$ the set of points…

Let $Y$ be a compact metric space, $G$ be a group acting by transformations on $Y$. For any infinite subset $A\subset Y$, we study the density of $gA$ for $g\in G$ and quantitative density of the set $\displaystyle{\bigcup_{g\in G_n}gA}$ by…

We prove theorems of the following form: if $A\subseteq {\mathbb R}^2$ is a big set, then there exists a big set $P\subseteq {\mathbb R}$ and a perfect set $Q\subseteq {\mathbb R}$ such that $P\times Q\subseteq A$. We discuss cases where…

Beiglboeck, Bergelson and Fish proved that if subsets A,B of a countable discrete amenable group G have positive Banach densities a and b respectively, then the product set AB is piecewise syndetic, i.e. there exists k such that the union…

Let $\nu$ be a vector measure defined on a $\sigma$-algebra $\Sigma$ and taking values in a Banach space. We prove that if $\nu$ is homogeneous and $L_1(\nu)$ is non-separable, then there is a vector measure $\tilde{\nu}:\Sigma \to…

In this paper we look for the existence of large linear and algebraic structures of sequences of measurable functions with different modes of convergence. Concretely, the algebraic size of the family of sequences that are convergent in…

In a series of papers, M.Talagrand, the second author and others investigated at length the properties and structure of pointwise compact sets of measurable functions. A number of problems, interesting in themselves and important for the…

If G is a locally essential subgroup of a compact abelian group K, then: (i) t(G)=w(G)=w(K), where t(G) is the tightness of G; (ii) if G is radial, then K must be metrizable; (iii) G contains a super-sequence S converging to 0 such that…

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 find necessary and sufficient conditions on a family $\mathcal{R} = (r_i)_{i \in I}$ in a Boolean algebra $\mathcal{B}$ under which there exists a unique positive probability measure $\mu$ on $\mathcal{B}$ such that $\mu (…

We show that if a separable space X has a meager open subset containing a copy of the Cantor set 2^\omega, then X has $\frak{c}$ types of countable dense subsets. We suggest a generalization of the \lambda-set for non-separable spaces. Let…

In relation to the Erd\H os similarity problem (show that for any infinite set $A$ of real numbers there exists a set of positive Lebesgue measure which contains no affine copy of $A$) we give some new examples of infinite sets which are…

Let G be a finite abelian group. For g in G and i an integer we define N(i,g) to be the number of subsets of G of size i which sum up to g. We will give a short proof, using character theory, of a formula for these N(i,g) due to Li and Wan.…

We prove that if $\mu$ is a Radon measure on the Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}^n$ such that the density $\Theta^s(\mu,\cdot)$, computed with respect to the Kor\'anyi metric $d_H$, exists and is positive and finite on a set of positive $\mu$…

Let $A$ be an infinite set of nonnegative integers. For $h \geq 2$, let $hA$ be the set of all sums of $h$ not necessarily distinct elements of $A$. If every sufficiently large integer in the sumset $hA$ has at least two representations,…

Let $Y$ be a nonnegative random variable with mean $\mu$ and finite positive variance $\sigma^2$, and let $Y^s$, defined on the same space as $Y$, have the $Y$ size biased distribution, that is, the distribution characterized by…

The $H$-space, denoted as $(\mathbb{R}, \tau_{A})$, has $\mathbb{R}$ as its point set and a basis consisting of usual open interval neighborhood at points of $A$ while taking Sorgenfrey neighborhoods at points of $\mathbb{R}$-$A$. In this…

Given two measurable spaces $H$ and $D$ with countably generated $\sigma$-algebras, a perfect prior probability measure $P_H$ on $H$ and a sampling distribution $S: H \rightarrow D$, there is a corresponding inference map $I: D \rightarrow…

Following the works of Furstenberg and Glasner on stationary means, we strengthen and extend in this paper some recent results by Di Nasso, Goldbring, Jin, Leth, Lupini and Mahlburg on piecewise syndeticity of product sets in countable…

For a finite set $A\subseteq \mathbb{Z}$, the $h$-fold sumset is $hA :=\{x_1+\dots+x_h:x_i\in A\}$. We interpret the beginning of the sequence of sumset sizes $(|hA|)_{h=1}^\infty$ in terms of the successive $L^1$-minima of a lattice…
