We consider the problem of lower bounding a generalized Minkowski measure of subsets of a convex body with a log-concave probability measure, conditioned on the set size. A bound is given in terms of diameter and set size, which is sharp…

The (classical) truncated moment problem, extensively studied by Curto and Fialkow, asks to characterize when a finite sequence of real numbers indexes by words in commuting variables can be represented with moments of a positive Borel…

For smooth vector fields the classical method of characteristics provides a link between the ordinary differential equation and the corresponding continuity equation (or transport equation). We study an analog of this connection for merely…

Let $K$ be a non-polar compact subset of $\mathbb{C}$ and $\mu_K$ be its equilibrium measure. Let $\mu$ be a unit Borel measure supported on a compact set which contains the support of $\mu_K$. We prove that a Szeg\H{o} condition in terms…

We derive necessary conditions for localization of continuous frames in terms of generalized Beurling densities. As an important application we provide necessary density conditions for sampling and interpolation in a very large class of…

For "Riesz-like" kernels $K(x,y)=f(|x-y|)$ on $A\times A$, where $A$ is a compact $d$-regular set $A\subset \mathbb{R}^p$, we prove a minimum principle for potentials $U_K^\mu=\int K(x,y)d\mu(x)$, where $\mu$ is a Borel measure supported on…

Let $X=(X_1,X_2,\ldots)$ be a sequence of random variables with values in a standard space $(S,\mathcal{B})$. Suppose \begin{gather*} X_1\sim\nu\quad\text{and}\quad P\bigl(X_{n+1}\in\cdot\mid…

Random dynamical systems with countably many maps which admit countable Markov partitions on complete metric spaces such that the resulting Markov systems are uniformly continuous and contractive are considered. A non-degeneracy and a…

A classical result of Arne Beurling states that the Fourier transform of a nonzero complex Borel measure $\mu$ on the real line cannot vanish on a set of positive Lebesgue measure if $\mu$ has certain decay. We prove a several variable…

Let $U\subset K$ be an open and dense subset of a compact metric space and let $\{\Phi_t\}_{t\ge0}$ be a Markov semigroup on the space of bounded Borel measurable functions on $U$ with the strong Feller property. Suppose that for each…

The multivariate moment problem is investigated in the general context of the polynomial algebra $\mathbb{R}[x_i \mid i \in \Omega]$ in an arbitrary number of variables $x_i$, $i\in \Omega$. The results obtained are sharpest when the index…

Work on generalizations of the Cohen-Lenstra and Cohen-Martinet heuristics has drawn attention to probability measures on the space of isomorphism classes of profinite groups. As is common in probability theory, it would be desirable to…

In this paper, we study the Dvoretzky covering problem with non-uniformly distributed centers. When the probability law of the centers admits an absolutely continuous density which satisfies a regular condition on the set of essential…

Let $\nu$ be a Borel probability measure on a $d$-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$, $d\geq 1$, with a compact support, and let $(p_0, p_1, p_2, \ldots, p_N)$ be a probability vector with $p_j>0$ for $0\leq j\leq N$. Let $\{S_j:…

For a given element $f\in L^1$ and a convex cone $C\subset L^\infty$, $C\cap L^\infty_+=\{0\}$ we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of an element $g\ge f$ lying in the polar of $C$. This polar is taken in…

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…

We study existence of random elements with partially specified distributions. The technique relies on the existence of a positive extension for linear functionals accompanied by additional conditions that ensure the regularity of the…

We find sufficient conditions for bounded density shifts to have a unique measure of maximal entropy. We also prove that every measure of maximal entropy of a bounded density shift is fully supported. As a consequence of this, we obtain…

Constrained quantization for a Borel probability measure refers to the idea of estimating a given probability by a discrete probability with a finite number of supporting points lying on a specific set. The specific set is known as the…
