On uniqueness of invariant means

The following results on uniqueness of invariant means are shown:

(ii) Let be a semisimple Lie group with finite centre and without compact factors, and let be a lattice in . Then integration against the -invariant probability measure on the homogeneous space is the unique -invariant mean on .

     

Every complete doubling metric space carries a doubling measure

We prove that a complete metric space carries a doubling measure if and only if is doubling and that more precisely the infima of the homogeneity exponents of the doubling measures on and of the homogeneity exponents of are equal. We also show that a closed subset of carries a measure of homogeneity exponent . These results are based on the case of compact due to Volberg and Konyagin.

Let be the measure of maximal spectral type. We study the condition that is essentially a singleton, is not a singleton. We show that if is the density topology and if satisfies the density theorem, in particular if it is absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure, then this condition is equivalent to the fact that is a Borel function of . If is the usual topology then the condition is equivalent to the fact that is approched in norm by step functions , where the set of intervals covers the set where is a singleton.

     

Inradius and integral means for green's functions and conformal mappings

Let be a convex planar domain of finite inradius . Fix the point and suppose the disk centered at and radius is contained in . Under these assumptions we prove that the symmetric decreasing rearrangement in of the Green's function , for fixed , is dominated by the corresponding quantity for the strip of width . From this, sharp integral mean inequalities for the Green's function and the conformal map from the disk to the domain follow. The proof is geometric, relying on comparison estimates for the hyperbolic metric of with that of the strip and a careful analysis of geodesics.

For the subalgebra results we develop and then use subduced SAGBI (bases), the analog to reduced Gröbner bases.

     

Average curvature of convex curves in

A well-known result states that, if a curve in has geodesic curvature less than or equal to one at every point, then is embedded. The converse is obviously not true, but the embeddedness of a curve does give information about the curvature. We prove that, if is a convex embedded curve in , then the average curvature (curvature per unit length) of , denoted , satisfies . This bound on the average curvature is tight as for a horocycle.
