If C is a capacity on a measurable space, we prove that the restriction of the K-functional $K(t,f;L^p\left(C\right),L^{\infty }\left(C\right))$ to quasicontinuous functions f ∈ QC is equivalent to $K(t,f;L^p\left(C\right)\cap QC,L^{\infty }\left(C\right)\cap QC)$. We apply this result to identify the interpolation space ${(L^{p₀,q₀}\left(C\right)\cap QC,L^{p₁,q₁}\left(C\right)\cap QC)}_{\theta ,q}$.

We prove that Poisson measures are invariant under (random) intensity preserving transformations whose finite difference gradient satisfies a cyclic vanishing condition. The proof relies on moment identities of independent interest for adapted and anticipating Poisson stochastic integrals, and is inspired by the method of Üstünel and Zakai (Probab. Theory Related Fields103 (1995) 409–429) on the Wiener space, although the corresponding algebra is more complex than in the Wiener case. The examples...

We consider the set of $C^1$ expanding maps of the circle which have a unique absolutely continuous invariant probability measure whose density is unbounded, and show that this set is dense in the space of $C^1$ expanding maps with the $C^1$ topology. This is in contrast with results for $C^2$ or $C^{1+\epsilon }$ maps, where the invariant densities can be shown to be continuous.

Let $\beta >1$ be a non-integer. We consider expansions of the form ${\sum }_{i=1}^{\infty }{d}_i/{\beta }^i$, where the digits ${\left(d_i\right)}_{i\ge 1}$ are generated by means of a Borel map $K_{\beta }$ defined on ${\{0,1\}}^{\mathbb{N}}\times [0,\lfloor \beta \rfloor \left(\beta -1\right)]$. We show existence and uniqueness of a $K_{\beta }$-invariant probability measure, absolutely continuous with respect to $m_p\otimes \lambda$, where $m_p$ is the Bernoulli measure on ${\{0,1\}}^{\mathbb{N}}$ with parameter $p$ ($0<p<1$) and $\lambda$ is the normalized Lebesgue measure on $[0,\lfloor \beta \rfloor (\beta -1\left)\right]$. Furthermore, this measure is of the form $m_p\otimes {\mu }_{\beta ,p}$, where ${\mu }_{\beta ,p}$ is equivalent to $\lambda$. We prove that the measure of maximal entropy and $m_p\otimes \lambda$ are mutually singular. In...

We summarize the main ideas in a series of papers ([20], [21], [22], [5]) devoted to the construction of invariant measures and to the long-time behavior of solutions of the periodic Benjamin-Ono equation.
