Abstract Hardin and Taylor proved that any function on the reals—even a nowhere continuous one—can be correctly predicted, based solely on its past behavior, at almost every point in time. They showed that one could even arrange for the predictors to be robust with respect to simple time shifts, and asked whether they could be robust with respect to other, more complicated time distortions. This question was partially answered by Bajpai and Velleman, who provided upper and lower frontiers (in the subgroup lattice of $mathrm{Homeo}^+(mathbb {R})$ ) on how robust a predictor can possibly be. We improve both frontiers, some of which reduce ultimately to consequences of Hölder’s Theorem (that every Archimedean group is abelian).

We present a unified theory for the almost periodicity of functions with values in an arbitrary Banach space, measures and distributions via almost periodic elements for the action of a locally compact abelian group on a uniform topological space. We discuss the relation between Bohr and Bochner type almost periodicity, and similar conditions, and how the equivalence among such conditions relates to properties of the group action and the uniformity. We complete the paper by demonstrating how various examples considered earlier all fit in our framework.

This paper provides a convenient and practical method to compute the homology and intersection pairing of a branched double cover of the 4-ball. To projections of links in the 3-ball, and to projections of surfaces in the 4-ball into the boundary sphere, we associate a sequence of homology groups, called the disoriented homology. We show that the disoriented homology is isomorphic to the homology of the double branched cover of the link or surface. We define a pairing on the first disoriented homology group of a surface and show that this is equal to the intersection pairing of the branched cover. These results generalize work of Gordon and Litherland, for embedded surfaces in the 3-sphere, to arbitrary surfaces in the 4-ball. We also give a generalization of the signature formula of Gordon-Litherland to the general setting. Our results are underpinned by a theorem describing a handle decomposition of the branched double cover of a codimension-2 submanifold in the $n$-ball, which generalizes previous results of Akbulut-Kirby and others.

Abstract Let $f(z)=sum _{n=0}^infty a_n z^n$ be an entire function on the complex plane, and let ${mathcal R} f(z) = sum _{n=0}^infty a_n X_n z^n$ be its randomization induced by a standard sequence $(X_n)_n$ of independent Bernoulli, Steinhaus, or Gaussian random variables. In this paper, we characterize those functions $f(z)$ such that ${mathcal R} f(z)$ is almost surely in the Fock space ${mathcal F}_{alpha }^p$ for any $p, alpha in (0,infty )$ . Then such a characterization, together with embedding theorems which are of independent interests, is used to obtain a Littlewood-type theorem, also known as regularity improvement under randomization within the scale of Fock spaces. Other results obtained in this paper include: (a) a characterization of random analytic functions in the mixed-norm space ${mathcal F}(infty , q, alpha )$ , an endpoint version of Fock spaces, via entropy integrals; (b) a complete description of random lacunary elements in Fock spaces; and (c) a complete description of random multipliers between different Fock spaces.
设$f(z)=sum _{n=0}^infty a_n z^n$为复平面上的一个完整函数,设${mathcal R} f(z) = sum _{n=0}^infty a_n X_n z^n$为由独立伯努利、斯坦豪斯或高斯随机变量的标准序列$(X_n)_n$引起的随机化。在本文中,我们描述了这些函数$f(z)$,使得${mathcal R} f(z)$对于任何$p, alpha in (0,infty )$几乎肯定在Fock空间${mathcal F}_{alpha }^p$中。然后,利用这样的表征和独立的嵌入定理,得到了一个littlewood型定理,也称为Fock空间尺度下随机化下的正则性改进。本文得到的其他结果包括:(a)混合范数空间${mathcal F}(infty , q, alpha )$ (Fock空间的端点版本)中随机解析函数的熵积分表征;(b)对Fock空间中随机空缺元素的完整描述;(c)不同Fock空间间随机乘法器的完整描述。

Abstract Adjacent dyadic systems are pivotal in analysis and related fields to study continuous objects via collections of dyadic ones. In our prior work (joint with Jiang, Olson, and Wei), we describe precise necessary and sufficient conditions for two dyadic systems on the real line to be adjacent. Here, we extend this work to all dimensions, which turns out to have many surprising difficulties due to the fact that $d+1$ , not $2^d$ , grids is the optimal number in an adjacent dyadic system in $mathbb {R}^d$ . As a byproduct, we show that a collection of $d+1$ dyadic systems in $mathbb {R}^d$ is adjacent if and only if the projection of any two of them onto any coordinate axis are adjacent on $mathbb {R}$ . The underlying geometric structures that arise in this higher-dimensional generalization are interesting objects themselves, ripe for future study; these lead us to a compact, geometric description of our main result. We describe these structures, along with what adjacent dyadic (and n-adic, for any n) systems look like, from a variety of contexts, relating them to previous work, as well as illustrating a specific exa.
