A measure on the group of homeomorphisms of $\mathbb T^2$

Let us consider the group of measure-preserving homeomorphisms of $\mathbb T^2$ (with transformations identified if they agree almost everywhere) called $G[\mathbb T^2, \mathcal L^2]$. We shall ...

Malliavin-Shavgulidze (type) measures on the group of measure-preserving invertible maps on $\mathbb T$?

The Malliavin-Shavgulidze measures on $\operatorname{Diff}^{1}(I)$ (with $I$ an interval of $\mathbb R$) are defined as the image $W_{\sigma} \circ f^{-1}$ of the Wiener measure $W_{\sigma}$ with ...

Is there a "crash-course" book on Abelian varieties (e.g., an introduction for physicists)?

Hello, In our (rather applied) theoretical physics research, we have encountered an important class of problems, which seem to require an understanding of Abelian functions (unfortunately, this ...

A Fractional Linear Transformation Class Property

Let $\mathcal{S}$ be the class of Fractional Linear Transformations (or FLT's) consisting of $f: [-1,0] \rightarrow [-1,0]$ such that $f(x) = \frac{ax+b}{cx+d}$ where $a,b,c,d \in R$, and $f'(x)>0$...
