Consider a group word w in n letters. For a compact group G, w induces a map G^n \rightarrow G$ and thus a pushforward measure {\mu}_w on G from the Haar measure on G^n. We associate to each word w a 2-dimensional cell complex X(w) and…

We construct a probability measure $\mu$ supported on a set of zero $2d/p$-Hausdorff measure such that $\hat{\mu}\in L_{p}(\mathbb{R}^d)$.

We consider a non-elementary group action $G \curvearrowright X$ of a locally compact second countable group $G$ on a possibly exotic non-discrete affine building $X$ of type $\tilde{A}_2$. We prove that if $\mu$ is an admissible symmetric…

Let $K$ be a subgroup of a finite group $G$. The probability that an element of $G$ commutes with an element of $K$ is denoted by $Pr(K,G)$. Assume that $Pr(K,G)\geq\epsilon$ for some fixed $\epsilon>0$. We show that there is a normal…

We show that in any complete metric space the probability measures $\mu$ with compact and connected support are the ones having the property that the optimal tranportation distance to any other probability measure $\nu$ living on the…

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…

Let $X$ be the constrained random walk on $\mathbb{Z}_+^d$ $d >2$, having increments $e_1$, $-e_i+e_{i+1}$ $i=1,2,3,...,d-1$ and $-e_d$ with probabilities $\lambda$, $\mu_1$, $\mu_2$,...,$\mu_d$, where $\{e_1,e_2,..,e_d\}$ are the standard…

We prove a deterministic analogue of Rudelson's sampling theorem for sums of positive semidefinite matrices. Let $A_1,\dots,A_m$ be positive semidefinite \(d\times d\) matrices, and let $\lambda_1,\dots,\lambda_m \ge 0$ satisfy \[…

Let $X$ be the constrained random walk on ${\mathbb Z}_+^2$ taking the steps $(1,0)$, $(-1,1)$ and $(0,-1)$ with probabilities $\lambda < (\mu_1\neq \mu_2)$; in particular, $X$ is assumed stable. Let $\tau_n$ be the first time $X$ hits…

Let G be a group, and let M=(m_n) be a sequence of finitely supported probability measures on G. Consider the probability that two elements chosen independently according to m_n commute. Antolin, Martino and Ventura define the 'degree of…

A commutator of unipotent matrices of index 2 is a matrix of the form $XYX^{-1}Y^{-1}$, where $X$ and $Y$ are unipotent matrices of index 2, that is, $X\ne I_n$, $Y\ne I_n$, and $(X-I_n)^2=(Y-I_n)^2=0_n$. If $n>2$ and $\mathbb F$ is a field…

Let $T$ be the map defined on $\N=\{1,2,3, ...\}$ by $T(n) = \frac{n}{2} $ if $n$ is even and by $T(n) = \frac{3n+1}{2}$ if $n$ is odd. Consider the dynamical system $(\N, 2^{\N}, T,\mu)$ where $\mu$ is the counting measure. This dynamical…

Let $K$ be a perfect field, $L$ be an extension field of $K$ and $A,B\in\mathcal{M}_n(K)$. If $A$ has $n$ distinct eigenvalues in $L$ that are explicitly known, then we can check if $A,B$ are simultaneously triangularizable over $L$. Now we…

In this work we provide a geometric characterization of the measures $\mu$ in $\mathbb R^{n+1}$ with polynomial upper growth of degree $n$ such that the $n$-dimensional Riesz transform $R\mu (x) = \int \frac{x-y}{|x-y|^{n+1}}\,d\mu(y)$…

Let $s\_2(x)$ denote the number of digits "$1$" in a binary expansion of any $x \in \mathbb{N}$. We study the mean distribution $\mu\_a$ of the quantity $s\_2(x+a)-s\_2(x)$ for a fixed positive integer $a$.It is shown that solutions of the…

We study a random matching problem on closed compact $2$-dimensional Riemannian manifolds (with respect to the squared Riemannian distance), with samples of random points whose common law is absolutely continuous with respect to the volume…

We prove bounds for the number of solutions to $$a_1 + \dots + a_k = a_1' + \dots + a_k'$$ over $N$-element sets of reals, which are sufficiently convex or near-convex. A near-convex set will be the image of a set with small additive…

An example due to Pisier shows that two commuting, completely polynomially bounded Hilbert space operators may not be simultaneously similar to contractions. Thus, while each operator is individually similar to a contraction, the pair is…

Let $X$ and $Y$ be topological spaces, let $Z$ be a metric space, and let $f: X\times Y\to Z$ be a mapping. It is shown that when $Y$ has a countable base $\mathcal B$, then under a rather general condition on the set-valued mappings $X\ni…

We show that almost commuting real orthogonal matrices are uniformly close to exactly commuting real orthogonal matrices. We prove the same for symplectic unitary matrices. This is in contrast to the general complex case, where not all…
