On the Existence of Pathological Submeasures and the Construction of Exotic Topological Groups.
We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a totally ordered by extension family (Ω, Σx, μx)x ∈ X of spaces of probability to have a measure μ which is an extension of all the measures μx. As an application we study when a probability measure on Ω has an extension defined on all the subsets of Ω.
Let be an algebra and a lattice of subsets of a set . We show that every content on that can be approximated by in the sense of Marczewski has an extremal extension to a -regular content on the algebra generated by and . Under an additional assumption, we can also prove the existence of extremal regular measure extensions.
We investigate the properties of the Hausdorff dimension of the attractor of the iterated function system (IFS) {γx,λx,λx+1}. Since two maps have the same fixed point, there are very complicated overlaps, and it is not possible to directly apply known techniques. We give a formula for the Hausdorff dimension of the attractor for Lebesgue almost all parameters (γ,λ), γ < λ. This result only holds for almost all parameters: we find a dense set of parameters (γ,λ) for which the Hausdorff dimension...
We prove that a closed surface with a CAT(κ) metric has Hausdorff dimension = 2, and that there are uniform upper and lower bounds on the two-dimensional Hausdorff measure of small metric balls. We also discuss a connection between this uniformity condition and some results on the dynamics of the geodesic flow for such surfaces. Finally,we give a short proof of topological entropy rigidity for geodesic flow on certain CAT(−1) manifolds.
A subset E of ℝⁿ is called self-affine with respect to a collection ϕ₁,...,ϕₜ of affinities if E is the union of the sets ϕ₁(E),...,ϕₜ(E). For S ⊂ ℝⁿ let . If Φ(S) ⊂ S let denote . For given Φ consisting of contracting “pseudo-dilations” (affinities which preserve the directions of the coordinate axes) and subject to further mild technical restrictions we show that there exist self-affine sets of each Hausdorff dimension between zero and a positive number depending on Φ. We also investigate...
The σ-ideal (v 0) is associated with the Silver forcing, see [5]. Also, it constitutes the family of all completely doughnut null sets, see [9]. We introduce segment topologies to state some resemblances of (v 0) to the family of Ramsey null sets. To describe add(v 0) we adopt a proof of Base Matrix Lemma. Consistent results are stated, too. Halbeisen’s conjecture cov(v 0) = add(v 0) is confirmed under the hypothesis t = min{cf(c), r}. The hypothesis cov(v 0) = ω 1 implies that (v 0) has the ideal...
We study the infimum convolution inequalities. Such an inequality was first introduced by B. Maurey to give the optimal concentration of measure behaviour for the product exponential measure. We show how IC inequalities are tied to concentration and study the optimal cost functions for an arbitrary probability measure μ. In particular, we prove an optimal IC inequality for product log-concave measures and for uniform measures on the balls. Such an optimal inequality implies, for a given measure,...
