A measure on a locally compact group is called spread out if one of its convolution powers is not singular with respect to Haar measure. Using Markov chain theory, we conduct a detailed analysis of random walks on homogeneous spaces with…
Consider a measurable space with a finite vector measure. This measure defines a mapping of the $\sigma$-field into a Euclidean space. According to Lyapunov's convexity theorem, the range of this mapping is compact and, if the measure is…
In many robotics applications, it is necessary to compute not only the distance between the robot and the environment, but also its derivative - for example, when using control barrier functions. However, since the traditional Euclidean…
We survey a new area of parameter-free similarity distance measures useful in data-mining, pattern recognition, learning and automatic semantics extraction. Given a family of distances on a set of objects, a distance is universal up to a…
In this paper we investigate the Erd\"os/Falconer distance conjecture for a natural class of sets statistically, though not necessarily arithmetically, similar to a lattice. We prove a good upper bound for spherical means that have been…
Author developed a uniform model for different spaces where distance and angle measure kinds are parameters. This model is calculus centric, but can also be used in theoretical research. It is useful in the following domains: deduction of…
Recall that the Rado graph is the unique countable graph that realizes all one-point extensions of its finite subgraphs. The Rado graph is well-known to be universal and homogeneous in the sense that every isomorphism between finite…
The Urysohn space is the unique separable metric space that is universal and homogeneous for finite metric spaces, i.e., it embeds any finite metric space any isometry between finite subspaces extends to an isometry of the whole space. We…
A pivotal problem in Bayesian nonparametrics is the construction of prior distributions on the space M(V) of probability measures on a given domain V. In principle, such distributions on the infinite-dimensional space M(V) can be…
A Polish group is surjectively universal if it can be continuously homomorphically mapped onto every Polish group. Making use of a type of new metrics on free groups \cite{DG}, we prove the existence of surjectively universal Polish groups,…
By using a similar pattern of arguments, we show that in three categories the collection of isomorphisms forms a residual subset of the space of morphisms. We first consider surjective continuous mappings on Cantor spaces. Next, we look at…
For a family $\mathcal{C}$ of properly embedded curves in the 2-dimensional disk $\mathbb{D}^{2}$ satisfying certain uniqueness properties, we consider convex polygons $P\subset \mathbb{D}^{2}$ and define a metric $d$ on $P$ such that…
A periodic lattice in Euclidean 3-space is the infinite set of all integer linear combinations of basis vectors. Any lattice can be generated by infinitely many different bases. This ambiguity was only partially resolved, but standard…
We derive the isoperimetric profile of Gaussian type for an absolutely continuous probability measure on Euclidean spaces with respect to the Lebesgue measure, whose density is a radial function.The key is a generalization of the Poincar\'e…
We study isometric $G$-spaces and the question of when their maximal equivariant compactification is the Gromov compactification (meaning that it coincides with the compactification generated by the distance functions to points). Answering…
We study analysis on the cone of discrete Radon measures over a locally compact Polish space $X$. We discuss probability measures on the cone and the corresponding correlation measures and correlation functions on the sub-cone of finite…
It is proved that any countable index, universally measurable subgroup of a Polish group is open. By consequence, any universally measurable homomorphism from a Polish group into the infinite symmetric group $S_\infty$ is continuous. It is…
According to Dyson's three fold way, from the viewpoint of global time reversal symmetry there are three circular ensembles of unitary random matrices relevant to the study of chaotic spectra in quantum mechanics. These are the circular…
Let $(M,g)$ be a Riemannian manifold with Riemannian distance $\mathsf{d}_g$, and $\mathcal{M}(M)$ be the space of all non-negative Borel measures on $M$, endowed with the Hellinger-Kantorovich distance $\mathsf{H\! K}_{\mathsf{d}_g}$…
