New concepts of Lebesgue measure on ${ℝ}^{\infty }$ are proposed and some of their realizations in the ZFC theory are given. Also, it is shown that Baker’s both measures [1], [2], Mankiewicz and Preiss-Tišer generators [6] and the measure of [4] are not α-standard Lebesgue measures on ${ℝ}^{\infty }$ for α = (1,1,...).

An example of a non-zero non-atomic translation-invariant Borel measure ${\nu }_p$ on the Banach space ${\ell }_p\left(1\le p\le \infty \right)$ is constructed in Solovay’s model. It is established that, for 1 ≤ p < ∞, the condition "${\nu }_p$-almost every element of ${\ell }_p$ has a property P" implies that “almost every” element of ${\ell }_p$ (in the sense of [4]) has the property P. It is also shown that the converse is not valid.

Let S be a sequence of points in the unit ball of ℂⁿ which is separated for the hyperbolic distance and contained in the zero set of a Nevanlinna function. We prove that the associated measure ${\mu }_S:={\sum }_{a\in S}(1-|a\left|²\right)ⁿ{\delta }_a$ is bounded, by use of the Wirtinger inequality. Conversely, if X is an analytic subset of such that any δ -separated sequence S has its associated measure ${\mu }_S$ bounded by C/δⁿ, then X is the zero set of a function in the Nevanlinna class of . As an easy consequence, we prove that if S is a dual...

We prove that for the spectral radius of a weighted composition operator $a{T}_{\alpha }$, acting in the space $L^p(X,,\mu )$, the following variational principle holds: $lnr\left(a{T}_{\alpha }\right)=ma{x}_{\nu \in M{¹}_{\alpha ,e}}{\int }_{X}ln\left|a\right|d\nu$, where X is a Hausdorff compact space, α: X → X is a continuous mapping preserving a Borel measure μ with suppμ = X, $M{¹}_{\alpha ,e}$ is the set of all α-invariant ergodic probability measures on X, and a: X → ℝ is a continuous and ${}_{\infty }$-measurable function, where ${}_{\infty }={\bigcap }_{n=0}^{\infty }{\alpha }^{-n}\left(\right)$. This considerably extends the range of validity of the above formula, which was previously known...

We improve and subsume the conditions of Johansson and Öberg and Berbee for uniqueness of a $g$-measure, i.e., a stationary distribution for chains with complete connections. In addition, we prove that these unique $g$-measures have Bernoulli natural extensions. We also conclude that we have convergence in the Wasserstein metric of the iterates of the adjoint transfer operator to the $g$-measure.

We establish an explicit connection between the perimeter measure of an open set $E$ with $C^1$ boundary and the spherical Hausdorff measure $S^{Q-1}$ restricted to $\partial E$, when the ambient space is a stratified group endowed with a left invariant sub-Riemannian metric and $Q$ denotes the Hausdorff dimension of the group. Our formula implies that the perimeter measure of $E$ is less than or equal to $S^{Q-1}\left(\partial E\right)$ up to a dimensional factor. The validity of this estimate positively answers a conjecture raised by Danielli,...

We present a new theorem on the differential inequality $u^{\left(m\right)}\le w\left(u\right)$. Next, we apply this result to obtain existence theorems for the equation $x^{\left(m\right)}=f(t,x)$.

Let ℳ be a von Neumann factor of type II1 with a normalized trace τ. In 1983 L. G. Brown showed that to every operator T∈ℳ one can in a natural way associate a spectral distribution measure μ T (now called the Brown measure of T), which is a probability measure in ℂ with support in the spectrum σ(T) of T. In this paper it is shown that for every T∈ℳ and every Borel set B in ℂ, there is a unique closed T-invariant subspace $𝒦={𝒦}_{\mathrm{T}}\left(B\right)$ affiliated with ℳ, such that the Brown measure of ${\mathrm{T}|}_{𝒦}$ is concentrated...

In many recent articles, medians have been used as a replacement of integral averages when the function fails to be locally integrable. A point $x$ in a metric measure space $(X,d,\mu )$ is called a generalized Lebesgue point of a measurable function $f$ if the medians of $f$ over the balls $B(x,r)$ converge to $f\left(x\right)$ when $r$ converges to $0$. We know that almost every point of a measurable, almost everywhere finite function is a generalized Lebesgue point and the same is true for every point of a continuous function....

Let ν be a positive measure on a σ-algebra Σ of subsets of some set and let X be a Banach space. Denote by ca(Σ,X) the Banach space of X-valued measures on Σ, equipped with the uniform norm, and by ca(Σ,ν,X) its closed subspace consisting of those measures which vanish at every ν-null set. We are concerned with the subsets ${}_{\nu }\left(X\right)$ and ${}_{\nu }\left(X\right)$ of ca(Σ,X) defined by the conditions |φ| = ν and |φ| ≥ ν, respectively, where |φ| stands for the variation of φ ∈ ca(Σ,X). We establish necessary and sufficient...

We study WDC sets, which form a substantial generalization of sets with positive reach and still admit the definition of curvature measures. Main results concern WDC sets $A\subset {ℝ}^2$. We prove that, for such $A$, the distance function $d_A=\mathrm{dist}(·,A)$ is a “DC aura” for $A$, which implies that each closed locally WDC set in ${ℝ}^2$ is a WDC set. Another consequence is that compact WDC subsets of ${ℝ}^2$ form a Borel subset of the space of all compact sets.

We study the generalized Cantor space ${}^{\kappa }2$ and the generalized Baire space ${}^{\kappa }\kappa$ as analogues of the classical Cantor and Baire spaces. We equip ${}^{\kappa }\kappa$ with the topology where a basic neighborhood of a point η is the set ν: (∀j < i)(ν(j) = η(j)), where i < κ. We define the concept of a strong measure zero set of ${}^{\kappa }2$. We prove for successor $\kappa ={\kappa }^{<\kappa }$ that the ideal of strong measure zero sets of ${}^{\kappa }2$ is ${}_{\kappa }$-additive, where ${}_{\kappa }$ is the size of the smallest unbounded family in ${}^{\kappa }\kappa$, and that the generalized Borel...

Let $S_i:{ℝ}^d\to {ℝ}^d$ for i = 1,..., N be contracting similarities, let $(p₁,...,p_N,p)$ be a probability vector and let ν be a probability measure on ${ℝ}^d$ with compact support. It is well known that there exists a unique inhomogeneous self-similar probability measure μ on ${ℝ}^d$ such that $\mu ={\sum }_{i=1}^N{p}_i\mu \circ S_i^{-1}+p\nu$. We give satisfactory estimates for the lower and upper bounds of the $L^q$ spectra of inhomogeneous self-similar measures. The case in which there are a countable number of contracting similarities and probabilities is considered. In particular,...

We give several refinements of known theorems on Borel uniformizations of sets with “large sections”. In particular, we show that a set B ⊂ [0,1] × [0,1] which belongs to $\Sigma {⁰}_{\alpha }$, α ≥ 2, and which has all “vertical” sections of positive Lebesgue measure, has a $\Pi {⁰}_{\alpha }$ uniformization which is the graph of a $\Sigma {⁰}_{\alpha }$-measurable mapping. We get a similar result for sets with nonmeager sections. As a corollary we derive an improvement of Srivastava’s theorem on uniformizations for Borel sets with $G_{\delta }$ sections. ...

Motivated by the fundamental theorem of calculus, and based on the works of W. Feller as well as M. Kac and M. G. Kreĭn, given an atomless Borel probability measure $\eta$ supported on a compact subset of $ℝ$ U. Freiberg and M. Zähle introduced a measure-geometric approach to define a first order differential operator ${\nabla }_{\eta }$ and a second order differential operator ${\Delta }_{\eta }$, with respect to $\eta$. We generalize this approach to measures of the form $\eta :=\nu +\delta$, where $\nu$ is non-atomic and $\delta$ is finitely supported. We determine...

We consider Akatsuka’s zeta Mahler measure as a generating function of the higher Mahler measure $m_k\left(P\right)$ of a polynomial $P,$ where $m_k\left(P\right)$ is the integral of $lo{g}^k\left|P\right|$ over the complex unit circle. Restricting ourselves to P(x) = x - r with |r| = 1 we show some new asymptotic results regarding $m_k\left(P\right)$, in particular $|m_k\left(P\right)|/k!\to 1/\pi$ as k → ∞.

We show that, whenever $\Gamma$ is a countable abelian group and $\Delta$ is a finitely-generated subgroup of $\Gamma$, a generic measure-preserving action of $\Delta$ on a standard atomless probability space $(X,\mu )$ extends to a free measure-preserving action of $\Gamma$ on $(X,\mu )$. This extends a result of Ageev, corresponding to the case when $\Delta$ is infinite cyclic.

Let ${\alpha }_i,{\beta }_i>0$, 1 ≤ i ≤ n, and for t > 0 and x = (x₁,...,xₙ) ∈ ℝⁿ, let $t•x=(t^{\alpha ₁}x₁,...,t^{\alpha ₙ}xₙ)$, $t\circ x=(t^{\beta ₁}x₁,...,t^{\beta ₙ}xₙ)$ and $\left|\right|x\left|\right|={\sum }_{i=1}^n{\left|x_i\right|}^{1/{\alpha }_i}$. Let φ₁,...,φₙ be real functions in $C^{\infty }(ℝⁿ-0)$ such that φ = (φ₁,..., φₙ) satisfies φ(t • x) = t ∘ φ(x). Let γ > 0 and let μ be the Borel measure on ${ℝ}^{2n}$ given by $\mu \left(E\right)={\int }_{ℝⁿ}{\chi }_E{(x,\phi \left(x\right))\left|\right|x\left|\right|}^{\gamma -\alpha }dx$, where $\alpha ={\sum }_{i=1}^n{\alpha }_i$ and dx denotes the Lebesgue measure on ℝⁿ. Let $T_{\mu }f=\mu \ast f$ and let $\left|\right|T_{\mu }{\left|\right|}_{p,q}$ be the operator norm of $T_{\mu }$ from $L^p\left({ℝ}^{2n}\right)$ into $L^q\left({ℝ}^{2n}\right)$, where the $L^p$ spaces are taken with respect to the Lebesgue measure. The type set $E_{\mu }$ is defined by $E_{\mu }=(1/p,1/q):\left|\right|T_{\mu }{\left|\right|}_{p,q}<\infty ,1\le p,q\le \infty$. In the case ${\alpha }_i\ne {\beta }_k$ for 1 ≤ i,k ≤ n we characterize the...

Let β ∈ (1,2) and x ∈ [0,1/(β-1)]. We call a sequence ${\left({ϵ}_i\right)}_{i=1}^{\infty }\in {0,1}^{\mathbb{N}}$ a β-expansion for x if $x={\sum }_{i=1}^{\infty }{ϵ}_i{\beta }^{-i}$. We call a finite sequence ${\left({ϵ}_i\right)}_{i=1}^n\in {0,1}^n$ an n-prefix for x if it can be extended to form a β-expansion of x. In this paper we study how good an approximation is provided by the set of n-prefixes. Given $\Psi :\mathbb{N}\to {ℝ}_{\ge 0}$, we introduce the following subset of ℝ: $W_{\beta }\left(\Psi \right):={\bigcap }_{m=1}^{\infty }{\bigcup }_{n=m}^{\infty }{\bigcup }_{{\left({ϵ}_i\right)}_{i=1}^n\in {0,1}^n}[{\sum }_{i=1}^n\left({ϵ}_i\right)/\left({\beta }^i\right),{\sum }_{i=1}^n\left({ϵ}_i\right)/\left({\beta }^i\right)+\Psi \left(n\right)]$In other words, $W_{\beta }\left(\Psi \right)$ is the set of x ∈ ℝ for which there exist infinitely many solutions to the inequalities $0\le x-{\sum }_{i=1}^n\left({ϵ}_i\right)/\left({\beta }^i\right)\le \Psi \left(n\right)$. When ${\sum }_{n=1}^{\infty }{2}^n\Psi \left(n\right)<\infty$, the Borel-Cantelli lemma tells us that the Lebesgue measure...

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...
