We study skew-product dynamics for a large class of finitely-generated semi--hyperbolic semigroups of rational maps acting on the Riemann sphere, which generalizes both the theory of iteration of a single rational map of a single complex…

Given a countably infinite group $G$ acting on some space $X$, an increasing family of finite subsets $G_n$ and $x\in X$, a natural question to ask is what asymptotical distribution the sets $G_nx$ form. More formally, we define for a…

We prove an inequality, valid on any finitely generated group with a fixed finite symmetric generating set, involving the growth of successive balls, and the average length of an element in a ball. It generalizes recent improvements of the…

Geometric quantiles are popular location functionals to build rank-based statistical procedures in multivariate settings. They are obtained through the minimization of a non-smooth convex objective function. As a result, the singularity of…

We examine the total mixed scalar curvature of a fixed distribution as a functional of a pseudo-Riemannian metric. We develop variational formulas for quantities of extrinsic geometry of the distribution to find the critical points of this…

The GKSL master equation for N-level systems provides a necessary and sufficient form for the generator of a quantum dynamical semigroup in the Schrodinger picture where the underlying Hilbert space is $\mathbb{C}^N$. In this paper we…

In every dimension $n\ge 3$ we introduce a class of orthogonal graph-manifolds and prove that the fundamental group of any orthogonal graph-manifold quasi-isometrically embeds into a product of $n$ trees. As a consequence, we obtain that…

We study conditions under which subdirect products of various types of algebraic structures are finitely generated or finitely presented. In the case of two factors, we prove general results for arbitrary congruence permutable varieties,…

Let $L$ be a fixed branch -- that is, an irreducible germ of curve -- on a normal surface singularity $X$. If $A,B$ are two other branches, define $u_L(A,B) := \dfrac{(L \cdot A) \: (L \cdot B)}{A \cdot B}$, where $A \cdot B$ denotes the…

The Koopman linearization of measure-preserving systems or topological dynamical systems on compact spaces has proven to be extremely useful. In this article we look at dynamics given by continuous semiflows on completely regular spaces…

In 1968, Dashen and Sharp obtained a certain singular Lie algebra of local densities and currents from canonical commutation relations in nonrelativistic quantum field theory. The corresponding Lie group is infinite dimensional: the natural…

We investigate the random dynamics of rational maps on the Riemann sphere and the dynamics of semigroups of rational maps on the Riemann sphere. We show that regarding random complex dynamics of polynomials, in most cases, the chaos of the…

This paper develops a unified framework for observables in n-plectic geometry, extending the L_infty-algebra of Hamiltonian (n-1)-forms to Hamiltonian forms of all degrees via a degree-shifting Grassmann variable u that encodes submanifold…

We prove that the category of abstract Cuntz semigroups is bicomplete. As a consequence, the category admits products and ultraproducts. We further show that the scaled Cuntz semigroup of the (ultra)product of a family of C*-algebras agrees…

We characterize the infinitesimal generator of a semigroup of linear fractional self-maps of the unit ball in $\mathbb C^n$, $n\geq 1$. For the case $n=1$ we also completely describe the associated Koenigs function and we solve the…

Our goal is to find classes of convolution semigroups on Lie groups $G$ that give rise to interesting processes in symmetric spaces $G/K$. The $K$-bi-invariant convolution semigroups are a well-studied example. An appealing direction for…

Let (X,d) be a locally compact separable ultra-metric space. Given a reference measure \mu\ on X and a step length distribution on the non-negative reals, we construct a symmetric Markov semigroup P^t acting in L^2(X,\mu). We study the…

For $R_1,R_2,R_3,\dots$ a family of non isomorphic rings (or algebras) having each only 2 idempotents ($1$ and $0$), we classify up to isomorphism the rings (or algebras) obtained by taking products of powers of the different $R_i$. We show…
