Colloquium: Infinite Bernoulli convolutions
by Boris Solomyak (University of Washington) in HB 227
Infinite Bernoulli convolution measures have been studied since the 1930's by Wintner, Erdos, Salem, Kahane, Garsia, and many other mathematicians. They first appeared in harmonic analysis and number theory, but more recently in other fields, in particular, dynamical systems and fractal geometry, as well as in applications. The talk will be a survey of the highlights of this topic, including some recent results and open problems. Host Department: Rice University-Mathematics Submitted by dani@rice.edu |
