Groups of Measure Preserving Transformations. II.
In it was shown that a (real) signed measure on a cyclic coarse-grained quantum logic can be extended, as a signed measure, over the entire power algebra. Later () this result was re-proved (and further improved on) and, moreover, the non-negative measures were shown to allow for extensions as non-negative measures. In both cases the proof technique used was the technique of linear algebra. In this paper we further generalize the results cited by extending group-valued measures on cyclic coarse-grained...
We study the σ-ideal of Haar null sets on Polish groups. It is shown that on a non-locally compact Polish group with an invariant metric this σ-ideal is closely related, in a precise sense, to the σ-ideal of non-dominating subsets of . Among other consequences, this result implies that the family of closed Haar null sets on a Polish group with an invariant metric is Borel in the Effros Borel structure if, and only if, the group is locally compact. This answers a question of Kechris. We also obtain...
We study the high-energy eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on a compact Riemannian manifold with Anosov geodesic flow. The localization of a semiclassical measure associated with a sequence of eigenfunctions is characterized by the Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy of this measure. We show that this entropy is necessarily bounded from below by a constant which, in the case of constant negative curvature, equals half the maximal entropy. In this sense, high-energy eigenfunctions are at least half-delocalized....
Let be the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of a closed symplectic manifold . A loop is called strictly ergodic if for some irrational number the associated skew product map defined by is strictly ergodic. In the present paper we address the following question. Which elements of the fundamental group of can be represented by strictly ergodic loops? We prove existence of contractible strictly ergodic loops for a wide class of symplectic manifolds (for instance for simply connected...
There has been a lot of interest and activity along the general lines of analysis on metric spaces recently, as in [2], [3], [26], [40], [41], [46], [48], [49], [51], [82], [83], [89], for instance. Of course this is closely related to and involves ideas concerning spaces of homogeneous type, as in [18], [19], [66], [67], [92], as well as sub-Riemannian spaces, e.g., [8], [9], [34], [47], [52], [53], [54], [55], [68], [70], [72], [73], [84], [86], [88]. In the present survey we try to give an introduction...
This subject has several natural points of view, but we shall start with the one that corresponds to the following question: Is there something like Littlewood-Paley theory which is useful for analyzing the geometry of subsets of Rn, in much the same way that traditional Littlewood-Paley theory is good for analyzing functions and operators?
We establish a dimension formula for the harmonic measure of a finitely supported and symmetric random walk on a hyperbolic group. We also characterize random walks for which this dimension is maximal. Our approach is based on the Green metric, a metric which provides a geometric point of view on random walks and, in particular, which allows us to interpret harmonic measures as quasiconformal measures on the boundary of the group.
We construct examples of expanding piecewise monotonic maps on the interval which have a closed topologically transitive invariant subset A with Darboux property, Hausdorff dimension d ∈ (0,1) and zero d-dimensional Hausdorff measure. This shows that the results about Hausdorff and conformal measures proved in the first part of this paper are in some sense best possible.
