Let $G$ be a countably infinite group, and let $\mu$ be a generating probability measure on $G$. We study the space of $\mu$-stationary Borel probability measures on a topological $G$ space, and in particular on $Z^G$, where $Z$ is any…

In this work we analyze the concept of swap-invariance, which is a weaker variant of exchangeability. A random vector $\xi$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ is called swap-invariant if $\,{\mathbf E}\,\big| \!\sum_j u_j \xi_j \big|\,$ is invariant under…

Given a compact space $K$, we denote by $P(K)$ the space of all Radon probability measures on $K$, equipped with the $weak^\ast$ topology inherited from $C(K)^\ast$. For nonmetrizable compacta $K$ even basic properties of $P(K)$ spaces…

We say that $f:[0,1]\to [0,1]$ is a {\it piecewise continuous interval map} if there exists a partition $0=x_0<x_1<\cdots<x_{d}<x_{d+1}=1$ of $[0,1]$ such that $f\vert_{(x_{i-1},x_i)}$ is continuous and the lateral limits $w_0^+=\lim_{x\to…

A countable discrete group $\Gamma$ is said to have the relative ISR-property if for every non-trivial normal subgroup $N\trianglelefteq\Gamma$ and every von Neumann subalgebra $\mathcal{M}\subseteq L(\Gamma)$ invariant under conjugation by…

We study existence and uniqueness of invariant probability measures for continuous-time Markov processes on general state spaces. Existence is obtained from tightness of time averages under a weak regularity assumption inspired by…

We study invariant probability measures on the homogeneous space $\mathrm{SL}_n(\mathbb R)/\mathrm{SL}_n(\mathbb Z)$ for the action of subgroups of $\mathrm{SL}_n(\mathbb R)$ of the form $SF$ where $F$ is generated by one parameter…

We investigate the properties of absolutely continuous invariant probability measures (ACIPs), especially those measures with bounded variation densities, for piecewise area preserving maps (PAPs) on $\mathbb{R}^d$. This class of maps…

Let $G$ be a subgroup of $\text{Homeo}_+(\mathbb{R})$ without crossed elements. We show the equivalence among three items: (1) existence of $G$-invariant Radon measures on $\mathbb R$; (2) existence of minimal closed subsets of $\mathbb R$;…

Given a simple Lie group $G$, we show that the lattices in $G$ are weakly uniformly discrete. This is a strengthening of the Kazhdan-Margulis theorem. Our proof however is straightforward --- considering general IRS rather than lattices…

We study the set of invariant idempotent probabilities for place dependent idempotent iterated function systems defined in compact metric spaces. Using well-known ideas from dynamical systems, such as the Ma\~{n}\'{e} potential and the…

A simple construction of Euclidean invariant and reflection positive measures on the cylindrical compactification is performed under a weaker hypothesis than has recently been obtained. Moreover, the results are extended to the case when…

Invariant random subgroups (IRS) are conjugacy invariant probability measures on the space of subgroups in a given group G. They can be regarded both as a generalization of normal subgroups as well as a generalization of lattices. As such,…

We consider a class of non-locally compact groups on which one may define a left-invariant, finitely additive measure taking values in some finitely generated extension of the field $\mathbb{R}$ of real numbers. In particular, we recover…

A Borel probability measure $\mu$ on a locally compact group is called a spectral measure if there exists a subset of continuous group characters which forms an orthogonal basis of the Hilbert space $L^2(\mu)$. In this paper, we…

A simple construction is given of a class of Euclidean invariant, reflection positive measures on a compactification of the space of distributions. An unusual feature is that the regularizations used are not reflection positive.

Let X denote a simply connected compact Riemannian symmetric space, U the universal covering of the identity component of the group of automorphisms of X, and LU the loop group of U. In this paper we prove the existence (and conjecture the…

A subset $X$ of a Polish group $G$ is \emph{Haar null} if there exists a Borel probability measure $\mu$ and a Borel set $B$ containing $X$ such that $\mu(gBh)=0$ for every $g,h \in G$. A set $X$ is \emph{Haar meager} if there exists a…

We consider the family of harmonic measures on a lamination $\mathcal{L}$ of a compact space $X$ by locally symmetric spaces $L$ of noncompact type, i.e. $L\simeq \Gamma_L\backslash G/K$. We establish a natural bijection between these…

Let $(X,T)$ be a topological dynamical system and $\mu$ be a invariant measure, we show that $(X,\mathcal{B},\mu,T)$ is rigid if and only if there exists some subsequence $A$ of $\mathbb N$ such that $(X,T)$ is $\mu$-$A$-equicontinuous if…
