Equilibrium measures for uniformly quasiregular dynamics
2012
We establish the existence and fundamental properties of the equilibrium measure in uniformly quasiregular dynamics. We show that a uniformly quasiregular endomorphism $f$ of degree at least 2 on a closed Riemannian manifold admits an equilibrium measure $\mu_f$, which is balanced and invariant under $f$ and non-atomic, and whose support agrees with the Julia set of $f$. Furthermore we show that $f$ is strongly mixing with respect to the measure $\mu_f$. We also characterize the measure $\mu_f$ using an approximation property by iterated pullbacks of points under $f$ up to a set of exceptional initial points of Hausdorff dimension at most $n-1$. These dynamical mixing and approximation resu…
Contextuality in canonical systems of random variables
2017
Random variables representing measurements, broadly understood to include any responses to any inputs, form a system in which each of them is uniquely identified by its content (that which it measures) and its context (the conditions under which it is recorded). Two random variables are jointly distributed if and only if they share a context. In a canonical representation of a system, all random variables are binary, and every content-sharing pair of random variables has a unique maximal coupling (the joint distribution imposed on them so that they coincide with maximal possible probability). The system is contextual if these maximal couplings are incompatible with the joint distributions o…
Smoothing properties of the discrete fractional maximal operator on Besov and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces
2013
Motivated by the results of Korry, and Kinnunen and Saksman, we study the behaviour of the discrete fractional maximal operator on fractional Hajlasz spaces, Hajlasz-Besov, and Hajlasz-Triebel-Lizorkin spaces on metric measure spaces. We show that the discrete fractional maximal operator maps these spaces to the spaces of the same type with higher smoothness. Our results extend and unify aforementioned results. We present our results in a general setting, but they are new already in the Euclidean case.
Heisenberg quasiregular ellipticity
2016
Following the Euclidean results of Varopoulos and Pankka--Rajala, we provide a necessary topological condition for a sub-Riemannian 3-manifold $M$ to admit a nonconstant quasiregular mapping from the sub-Riemannian Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}$. As an application, we show that a link complement $S^3\backslash L$ has a sub-Riemannian metric admitting such a mapping only if $L$ is empty, the unknot or Hopf link. In the converse direction, if $L$ is empty, a specific unknot or Hopf link, we construct a quasiregular mapping from $\mathbb{H}$ to $S^3\backslash L$. The main result is obtained by translating a growth condition on $\pi_1(M)$ into the existence of a supersolution to the $4$-harmonic…
Self-affine sets in analytic curves and algebraic surfaces

We characterize analytic curves that contain non-trivial self-affine sets. We also prove that compact algebraic surfaces do not contain non-trivial self-affine sets. peerReviewed
Generalized Harnack inequality for semilinear elliptic equations
2015
Abstract This paper is concerned with semilinear equations in divergence form div ( A ( x ) D u ) = f ( u ) , where f : R → [ 0 , ∞ ) is nondecreasing. We introduce a sharp Harnack type inequality for nonnegative solutions which is a quantified version of the condition for strong maximum principle found by Vazquez and Pucci–Serrin in [30] , [24] and is closely related to the classical Keller–Osserman condition [15] , [22] for the existence of entire solutions.
Korn inequality on irregular domains
2013
Abstract In this paper, we study the weighted Korn inequality on some irregular domains, e.g., s-John domains and domains satisfying quasihyperbolic boundary conditions. Examples regarding sharpness of the Korn inequality on these domains are presented. Moreover, we show that Korn inequalities imply certain Poincare inequality.
In between the inequalities of Sobolev and Hardy
2015
We establish both sufficient and necessary conditions for the validity of the so-called Hardy-Sobolev inequalities on open sets of the Euclidean space. These inequalities form a natural interpolating scale between the (weighted) Sobolev inequalities and the (weighted) Hardy inequalities. The Assouad dimension of the complement of the open set turns out to play an important role in both sufficient and necessary conditions.
Sharpness of uniform continuity of quasiconformal mappings onto s-John domains
2017
We construct examples to show the sharpness of uniform continuity of quasiconformal mappings onto $s$-John domains. Our examples also give a negative answer to a prediction in [7].
Local structure of self-affine sets
2011
The structure of a self-similar set with open set condition does not change under magnification. For self-affine sets the situation is completely different. We consider planar self-affine Cantor sets E of the type studied by Bedford, McMullen, Gatzouras and Lalley, for which the projection onto the horizontal axis is an interval. We show that within small square neighborhoods of almost each point x in E, with respect to many product measures on address space, E is well approximated by product sets of an interval and a Cantor set. Even though E is totally disconnected, the limit sets have the product structure with interval fibres, reminiscent to the view of attractors of chaotic differentia…
