This thesis develops a new divergence that generalizes relative entropy and can be used to compare probability measures without a requirement of absolute continuity. We establish properties of the divergence, and in particular derive and…

We look at a measure, $\lambda^\infty$, on the infinite-dimensional space, ${\mathbb R}^\infty$, for which we attempt to put forth an analogue of the Lebesgue density theorem. Although this measure allows us to find partial results, for…

We provide a vast class of counterexamples to the chain rule for the divergence of bounded vector fields in three space dimensions. Our convex integration approach allows us to produce renormalization defects of various kinds, which in a…

We study some variants of the Erd\H{o}s similarity problem. We pose the question if every measurable subset of the real line with positive measure contains a similar copy of an infinite geometric progression. We construct a compact subset…

In this paper we investigate the metrical theory of Diophantine approximation associated with linear forms that are simultaneously small for infinitely many integer vectors; i.e. forms which are close to the origin. A complete…

We show that for entire maps of the form $z \mapsto \lambda \exp(z)$ such that the orbit of zero is bounded and such that Lebesgue almost every point is transitive, no absolutely continuous invariant probability measure can exist. This…

We give an example of non-translation invariant product measure obtained from two translation invariant measures, one of which is non-sigma finite. This particular example also suggests that there can be infinitely many product measures if…

On the space $\mathcal{L}_{n+1}$ of unimodular lattices in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, we consider the standard action of $a(t)=\mathrm{diag}(t^n,t^{-1},\ldots,t^{-1})\in \mathrm{SL}(n+1,\mathbb{R})$ for $t>1$. Let $M$ be a nondegenerate…

This brief survey deals with multi-dimensional Diophantine approximations in sense of linear form and with simultaneous Diophantine approximations. We discuss the phenomenon of degenerate dimension of linear subspaces generated by the best…

While there exists a well-developed asymptotic theory of Fr\'echet means of random variables taking values in a general "finite-dimensional" metric space, there are only a few known results in which the random variables can take values in…

Let $M$ be a complete Riemannian manifold, $N\in \NN$ and $p\ge 1$. We prove that almost everywhere on $x=(x_1,...,x_N)\in M^N$ for Lebesgue measure in $M^N$, the measure $\di \mu(x)=\f1N\sum_{k=1}^N\d_{x_k}$ has a unique $p$-mean $e_p(x)$.…

Given $n\in N$ and $x,\gamma\in R$, let \begin{equation*} ||\gamma-nx||^\prime=\min\{|\gamma-nx+m|:m\in Z, \gcd (n,m)=1\}, \end{equation*} %where $(n,m)$ is the largest common divisor of $n$ and $m$. Two conjectures in the coprime…

We prove that if E a subset of an n-dimensional manifold, then every continuous R^n-valued map on E that is zero-free on the interior of E can be approximated in the fine topology, and hence, in particular, in the uniform topology, by a…

We study a new bi-Lipschitz invariant \lambda(M) of a metric space M; its finiteness means that Lipschitz functions on an arbitrary subset of M can be linearly extended to functions on M whose Lipschitz constants are enlarged by a factor…

A novel inhomogeneous gauge transformation law is proposed for a non-Abelian adjoint two-form in four dimensions. Rules for constructing actions invariant under this are given. The auxiliary vector field which appears in some of these…

This book deals with functions allowing to express the dissimilarity (discrepancy) between two data fields or ''divergence functions'' with the aim of applications to linear inverse problems. Most of the divergences found in the litterature…

In 1926 Khintchine introduced a topological argument proving the existence of uncountably many nontrivial singular linear forms of $n \geq 2$ variables. Throughout the years, this argument has been extensively modified and generalized. Most…

For two properly intersecting effective cycles in projective space X,Y, and their intersection product Z, the metric Bezout Theorem relates the degrees, heights of X,Y, and Z, as well as their distances and algebraic distances to a given…

Recently, mass transference principles in metric number theory extend towards two direction. On one hand, the shape of the approximating sets can be taken of various shape, balls, rectangles or even general open sets (one refers to some…

We argue that the most conservative geometric extension of Einstein gravity describing both positive and negative mass sources and observers is bimetric gravity and contains two copies of standard model matter which interact only…
