Let T be an eventually expansive transformation on the unit interval satisfying the Markov condition. The T is an ergodic transformation on (X, ß, μ) where X = [0, 1), ß is the Borel σ-algebra on the unit interval and μ is the T invariant absolutely continuous measure. Let G be a finite subgroup of the circle group or the whole circle group and φ: X → G be a measurable function with finite discontinuity points. We investigate ergodicity of skew product transformations Tφ on X × G by showing the solvability of the coboundary equation φ(x) g (Tx) = λg (x), |λ| = 1. Its relation with the uniform distribution mod M is also shown.

Abstract Let $G/K$ be an irreducible symmetric space, where G is a noncompact, connected Lie group and K is a compact, connected subgroup. We use decay properties of the spherical functions to show that the convolution product of any $r=r(G/K)$ continuous orbital measures has its density function in $L^{2}(G)$ and hence is an absolutely continuous measure with respect to the Haar measure. The number r is approximately the rank of $G/K$ . For the special case of the orbital measures, $\nu _{a_{i}}$ , supported on the double cosets $Ka_{i}K$ , where $a_{i}$ belongs to the dense set of regular elements, we prove the sharp result that $\nu _{a_{1}}\ast \nu _{a_{2}}\in L^{2},$ except for the symmetric space of Cartan class $AI$ when the convolution of three orbital measures is needed (even though $\nu _{a_{1}}\ast \nu _{a_{2}}$ is absolutely continuous).

We observe a sequence X1, X2,…, Xn of independent and identically distributed coordinatewise nonnegative d-dimensional random vectors. When a vector is observed it can either be selected or rejected but once made this decision is final. In each coordinate the sum of the selected vectors must not exceed a given constant. The problem is to find a selection policy that maximizes the expected number of selected vectors. For a general absolutely continuous distribution of the Xi we determine the maximal expected number of selected vectors asymptotically and give a selection policy which asymptotically achieves optimality. This problem raises a question closely related to the following problem. Given an absolutely continuous measure μ on Q = [0,1]d and a τ ∈ Q, find a set A of maximal measure μ(A) among all A ⊂ Q whose center of gravity lies below τ in all coordinates. We will show that a simplicial section {x ∈ Q | 〈x, θ〉 ≤ 1}, where θ ∈ ℝd, θ ≥ 0, satisfies a certain additional property, is a solution to this problem.

AbstractIn this paper we study commutative topological semigroups S admitting an absolutely continuous measure. When S is cancellative we show that S admits a weaker topology J with respect to which (S, J) is embeddable as a subsemigroup with non-empty interior in some locally compact topological group. As a consequence, we deduce certain results related to the existence of invariant measures on S and for a large class of locally compact topological semigroups S, we associate S with some useful topological subsemigroup of a locally compact group.

We observe a sequence X 1, X 2,…, X n of independent and identically distributed coordinatewise nonnegative d-dimensional random vectors. When a vector is observed it can either be selected or rejected but once made this decision is final. In each coordinate the sum of the selected vectors must not exceed a given constant. The problem is to find a selection policy that maximizes the expected number of selected vectors. For a general absolutely continuous distribution of the X i we determine the maximal expected number of selected vectors asymptotically and give a selection policy which asymptotically achieves optimality. This problem raises a question closely related to the following problem. Given an absolutely continuous measure μ on Q = [0,1] d and a τ ∈ Q, find a set A of maximal measure μ(A) among all A ⊂ Q whose center of gravity lies below τ in all coordinates. We will show that a simplicial section { x ∈ Q | 〈 x , θ 〉 ≤ 1}, where θ ∈ ℝ d , θ ≥ 0, satisfies a certain additional property, is a solution to this problem.

AbstractWe construct a transformation on the interval [0, 1] into itself, piecewiseC1 and expansive, which doesn't admit any absolutely continuous invariant probability measure (a.c.i.p.).So in this case we give a negative answer to a question by Anosov: is C1 character sufficient for the existence of absolutely continuous measure?Moreover, in our example,ƒ' has a modulus of type K/(|1+|log|x‖); it is known that a modulus of continuity of type K/(1+|log|x‖)1+γ, γ>0 implies the existence of a.c.i.p..

Physicists have long been using Racah's [7] 6-j symbols as a representation for the addition coefficients of three angular momenta. Racah himself discovered a series representation of the 6-j symbol which can be expressed as a balanced 4F3 series of argument 1, that is, a generalized hypergeometric function such that the sum of the 3 denominator parameters exceeds that of the 4 numerator parameters by 1. What Racah does not seem to have realized or, perhaps, cared to investigate, is that his 4F3 functions, with variables and parameters suitably identified, form a system of orthogonal polynomials in a discrete variable. The orthogonality of 6-j symbols as an orthogonality of 4F3 polynomials was recognized much later by Biedenharn et al. [3] in some special cases. Recently J. Wilson [13, 14] introduced a very general system of orthogonal polynomials expressible as balanced 4F3 functions of argument 1 orthogonal with respect to an absolutely continuous measure and/or a discrete weight function. Wilson's polynomials contain Racah's 6-j symbols as a special case. These polynomials might rightfully be credited to Wilson alone, but justice might be better served if we call them Racah-Wilson polynomials.

Abstract We study monochromatic random waves on ${\mathbb{R}}^n$ defined by Gaussian variables whose variances tend to zero sufficiently fast. This has the effect that the Fourier transform of the monochromatic wave is an absolutely continuous measure on the sphere with a suitably smooth density, which connects the problem with the scattering regime of monochromatic waves. In this setting, we compute the asymptotic distribution of the nodal components of random monochromatic waves, showing that the number of nodal components contained in a large ball $B_R$ grows asymptotically like $R/\pi $ with probability $p_n>0$ and is bounded uniformly in $R$ with probability $1-p_n$ (which is positive if and only if $n\geqslant 3$). In the latter case, we show the existence of a unique noncompact nodal component. We also provide an explicit sufficient stability criterion to ascertain when a more general Gaussian probability distribution has the same asymptotic nodal distribution law.

Let Tλ(x)=cos(λarccosx), −1≤x≤1, where λ>1 is not an integer. For a certain set of λ's which are irrational, the density of the unique absolutely continuous measure invariant under Tλ is determined exactly. This is accomplished by showing that Tλ is differentially conjugate to a piecewise linear Markov map whose unique invariant density can be computed as the unique left eigenvector of a matrix.
