Sur la transience du groupe des déplacements de l'espace
We study the relations between simetrization by a limiting process of probabilities and functions defined on a metric compacy product space and their ergodic properties.
Bowen’s notion of sofic entropy is a powerful invariant for classifying probability-preserving actions of sofic groups. It can be defined in terms of the covering numbers of certain metric spaces associated to such an action, the ‘model spaces’. The metric geometry of these model spaces can exhibit various interesting features, some of which provide other invariants of the action. This paper explores an approximate connectedness property of the model spaces, and uses it give a new proof that certain...
Let G be an abelian topological group. The Lévy continuity theorem says that if G is an LCA group, then it has the following property (PL) a sequence of Radon probability measures on G is weakly convergent to a Radon probability measure μ if and only if the corresponding sequence of Fourier transforms is pointwise convergent to the Fourier transform of μ. Boulicaut [Bo] proved that every nuclear locally convex space G has the property (PL). In this paper we prove that the property (PL) is inherited...
It is easy to notice that no sequence of estimators of the probability of success θ in a Bernoulli scheme can converge (when standardized) to N(0,1) uniformly in θ ∈ ]0,1[. We show that the uniform asymptotic normality can be achieved if we allow the sample size, that is, the number of Bernoulli trials, to be chosen sequentially.
