The prevalence of permutations with infinite cycles

Randall Dougherty, Jan Mycielski (1994)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

A number of recent papers have been devoted to the study of prevalence, a generalization of the property of being of full Haar measure to topological groups which need not have a Haar measure, and the dual concept of shyness. These concepts give a notion of "largeness" which often differs from the category analogue, comeagerness, and may be closer to the intuitive notion of "almost everywhere." In this paper, we consider the group of permutations of natural numbers. Here, in the sense of category,...

The quasi topology associated with a countably subadditive set function

Bent Fuglede (1971)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

This is a general study of an increasing, countably subadditive set function, called a capacity, and defined on the subsets of a topological space X . The principal aim is the study of the “quasi-topological” properties of subsets of X , or of numerical functions on X , with respect to such a capacity C . Analogues are obtained to various important properties of the fine topology in potential theory, notably the quasi Lindelöf principle (Doob), the existence of a fine support (Getoor), and the theorem...

The recurrence dimension for piecewise monotonic maps of the interval

Franz Hofbauer (2005)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

We investigate a weighted version of Hausdorff dimension introduced by V. Afraimovich, where the weights are determined by recurrence times. We do this for an ergodic invariant measure with positive entropy of a piecewise monotonic transformation on the interval [ 0 , 1 ] , giving first a local result and proving then a formula for the dimension of the measure in terms of entropy and characteristic exponent. This is later used to give a relation between the dimension of a closed invariant subset and a pressure...
