Similar Issue

In [11] it is shown that the deficiency of a translation experiment with respect to another on a σ-finite, amenable, locally compact group can be calculated in terms of probability measures on the group. This interesting result, brought to the writer's notice by [1], does not seem to be as wellknown in the theory of amenable groups as it should be. The present note presents a simple proof of the result, removing the σ-finiteness condition and repairing a gap in Torgersen's argument. The main novelty is the use of Wendel's multiplier theorem to replace Torgersen's approach which is based on disintegration of a bounded linear operator from L1(G) into C(G)* for G σ-finite (cf. [5], VI.8.6). The writer claims no particular competence in mathematical statistics, but hopes that the discussion of the above result from the “harmonic analysis” perspective may prove illuminating.We then investigate a similar issue for discrete semigroups. A set of transition operators, which reduce to multipliers in the group case, is introduced, and a semigroup version of Torgersen's theorem is established.

Abstract Let $(X,T)$ be a topological dynamical system. Given a continuous vector-valued function $F \in C(X, \mathbb {R}^{d})$ called a potential, we define its rotation set $R(F)$ as the set of integrals of F with respect to all T-invariant probability measures, which is a convex body of $\mathbb {R}^{d}$ . In this paper we study the geometry of rotation sets. We prove that if T is a non-uniquely ergodic topological dynamical system with a dense set of periodic measures, then the map $R(\cdot )$ is open with respect to the uniform topologies. As a consequence, we obtain that the rotation set of a generic potential is strictly convex and has $C^{1}$ boundary. Furthermore, we prove that the map $R(\cdot )$ is surjective, extending a result of Kucherenko and Wolf.

Jensen Shannon Divergence

We generalize the Jensen-Shannon divergence and the Jensen-Shannon diversity index by considering a variational definition with respect to a generic mean, thereby extending the notion of Sibson’s information radius. The variational definition applies to any arbitrary distance and yields a new way to define a Jensen-Shannon symmetrization of distances. When the variational optimization is further constrained to belong to prescribed families of probability measures, we get relative Jensen-Shannon divergences and their equivalent Jensen-Shannon symmetrizations of distances that generalize the concept of information projections. Finally, we touch upon applications of these variational Jensen-Shannon divergences and diversity indices to clustering and quantization tasks of probability measures, including statistical mixtures.

Abstract Let $(G_1,\omega _1)$ and $(G_2,\omega _2)$ be weighted discrete groups and $0\lt p\leq 1$ . We characterise biseparating bicontinuous algebra isomorphisms on the p-Banach algebra $\ell ^p(G_1,\omega _1)$ . We also characterise bipositive and isometric algebra isomorphisms between the p-Banach algebras $\ell ^p(G_1,\omega _1)$ and $\ell ^p(G_2,\omega _2)$ and isometric algebra isomorphisms between $\ell ^p(S_1,\omega _1)$ and $\ell ^p(S_2,\omega _2)$ , where $(S_1,\omega _1)$ and $(S_2,\omega _2)$ are weighted discrete semigroups.
