What is a Gaussian measure?
Let $X$ be a topological affine space. A Gaussian measure on $X$ is characterized by the property that its finite-dimensional projections are multivariate Gaussian distributions.
Is there a direct ...

Building random homeomorphisms of the torus $\mathbb T^2$
In https://arxiv.org/abs/0912.3423, a family of random homeomorphisms of the circle is constructed. Main Question: Can the construction be generalized to higher space dimensions, e.g. to $\mathbb T^2$?...

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 uniform solution of the Ruziewicz problem?
For any integer $n\geq 2$ there is one and only one (up to rescaling) rotation-invariant, finitely-additive measure on the Lebesgue $\sigma$-algebra of $S^n$.
The proof of this statement I'm aware of ...

Ergodic decomposition - how does restricting measure effect it? (Choquet Theory)
Suppose that $G$ is a discrete countable group and $\mu$ is an IRS (invariant random subgroup) of $G$: $\mu$ is conjugation invariant as a probability measure on the subgroups of $G$.
Since all the $...

Finitely Additive Homogeneous Translation Invariant Measure on $\mathcal{P}(\mathbb{R})$
It is known that there exists a finitely additive translation invariant measure on $\mathbb{R}$ that extends the Lebesgue measure. I.e. a function $m:\mathcal{P}(\mathbb{R}) \rightarrow [0,\infty]$ ...

Weil's Haar measure construction from below
Weil's construction of a Haar measure on a locally compact group rests on approximating a function from above by sums of translates of another function.
I would need to know something similar for an ...

Averaging measurable functions over amenable group actions
Let $G$ be an amenable group acting on a space $X$.
Amenability means there is a $G$-invariant mean on $L^\infty(G,{\mathbf R})$.
Given a bounded function $f\colon X\to {\mathbf R}$ one can use the ...

measure with given push-forwards
Let $X,Y$ be locally compact spaces (in my specific case, they are locally compact groups). Suppose that we are given a measure $\mu$ on $X$ and a finite number of quotient maps $p_1,\ldots,p_n:Y\...
