In this note we answer the question raised by Han et al. in J. Korean Math. Soc (2014) whether an idempotent isomorphic to a semicentral idempotent is itself semicentral. We show that rings with this property are precisely the…

Given a group $G$, we write $g^G$ for the conjugacy class of $G$ containing the element $g$. A theorem of B. H. Neumann states that if $G$ is a group in which all conjugacy classes are finite with bounded size, then the commutator subgroup…

We prove limit theorems for row sums of a rowwise independent infinitesimal array of random variables with values in a locally compact Abelian group. First we give a proof of Gaiser's theorem, since it does not have an easy access and it is…

A general form of contractive idempotent functionals on coamenable locally compact quantum groups is obtained, generalising the result of Greenleaf on contractive measures on locally compact groups. The image of a convolution operator…

Inspired by an extension of Wiener's lemma on the relation of measures $\mu$ on the unit circle and their Fourier coefficients $\widehat{\mu}(k_n)$ along subsequences $(k_n)$ of the natural numbers by Cuny, Eisner and Farkas [CEF19,…

We obtain criteria for when a ring with enough idempotents is left/right artinian or noetherian in terms of local criteria defined by the associated complete set of idempotents for the ring. We apply these criteria to object unital category…

Let $K$ be a non-polar compact subset of $\mathbb{R}$ and $\mu_K$ denote the equilibrium measure of $K$. Furthermore, let $P_n\left(\cdot, \mu_K\right)$ be the $n$-th monic orthogonal polynomial for $\mu_K$. It is shown that…

Let $\mathcal{S}$ be a nonempty commutative semigroup written additively. An element $e$ of $\mathcal{S}$ is said to be idempotent if $e+e=e$. The Erd\H{o}s-Burgess constant of the semigroup $\mathcal{S}$ is defined as the smallest positive…

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…

Let $f$ be a complex H\'enon map and $\mu$ its unique measure of maximal entropy. We prove that $\mu$ is exponentially mixing of all orders for all (not necessarily bounded) plurisubharmonic observables, and that all plurisubharmonic…

Let $R$ be a commutative unitary ring. An idempotent in $R$ is an element $e\in R$ with $e^2=e$. The Erd\H{o}s-Burgess constant associated with the ring $R$ is the smallest positive integer $\ell$ (if exists) such that for any given $\ell$…

If $\mu$ is a finite complex measure in the complex plane $\C$ we denote by $C^\mu$ its Cauchy integral defined in the sense of principal value. The measure $\mu$ is called reflectionless if it is continuous (has no atoms) and $C^\mu=0$ at…

Let $\Gamma$ be a locally compact group. We answer two questions left open in [7] and [9]: i) For abelian $\Gamma$, we prove that if $\chi_S \in B(\Gamma)$ is an idempotent with norm $\left\|\chi_S \right\| < \frac{4}{3}$, then $S$ is the…

Let R be a (unital) commutative ring, and G be a finite group with order invertible in R. We introduce new idempotents in the double Burnside algebra RB(G,G), indexed by conjugacy classes of minimal sections of G, i.e. pairs (T,S) of…

We initiate a systematic study of the convolution operation on Keisler measures, generalizing the work of Newelski in the case of types. Adapting results of Glicksberg, we show that the supports of generically stable (or just definable,…

It is shown that a locally compact second countable group $G$ has the Haagerup property if and only if there exists a sharply weak mixing 0-type measure preserving free $G$-action $T=(T_g)_{g\in G}$ on an infinite $\sigma$-finite standard…

Bochner's theorem says that if $M$ is a compact Riemannian manifold with negative Ricci curvature, then the isometry group $\operatorname{Iso}(M)$ is finite. In this article, we show that if $(X,d,m)$ is a compact metric measure space with…

Let ${\rm \mathbf{H}}(\nu^{u}_{\rm CL})$ be the entropy of the Cohen-Lenstra measure on finite abelian $p$-groups associated to an integral unit-rank $0 \le u \in \mathbb{N}$. In this note, we show that $0 < {\rm \mathbf{H}}(\nu^{u}_{\rm…

Let $G$ be a connected unimodular group equipped with a (left and hence right) Haar measure $\mu_G$, and suppose $A, B \subseteq G$ are nonempty and compact. An inequality by Kemperman gives us…

In the framework of Berthelot's theory of arithmetic $\mathcal{D}$-modules, we introduce the notion of arithmetic $\mathcal{D}$-modules having potentially-unipotent monodromy. For example, from Kedlaya's semistable reduction theorem,…
