Effros' theorem on transitive group actions with a glimpse into descriptive set theory

Abstract

The main aim of this note is to prove a version of a celebrated theorem of Effros about transitive group actions in a non-metrizable setting, these parts have been formalized and verified with Lean by Lara Toledano. We do not claim any originality since the given proof is in fact very close to one of van Mill. Our presentation is however completely self-contained and may serve as an appetizer to descriptive set theory. It also contains a few results about Suslin spaces (continuous images of separable completely metrizable spaces, which are often called analytic) which are extremely useful in measure theory.

Conditional expectation operators on $C(X)$

At the COSAEF conference in 2021, several participants asked the question whether a conditional expectation operator in the sense of Kuo, Labaushagne and Watson could be constructed in vector lattices other than $\mathcal{L}_p$ spaces and in particular in $C(X)$. This work answers positively to this question and participates in an old discussion on integrals in $C(X)$ space.

Hypercontractivity for a family of quantum Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroups

We show that a family of quantum Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroups is hypercontractive. We also obtain the optimal order of the optimal time up to a constant. The main ingredient of our proof is Meixner polynomials. The goal of this paper is twofold: to provide more examples of hypercontractive quantum Markov semigourps on non-tracial von Neumann algebras, and to determine the optimal order of the optimal time for quantum Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroups.

Fixed Point Rigidity of the Operator $Γ_pΠ_p^\ast$ and the LYZ Conjecture

We characterize the fixed points of the operator $Γ_pΠ_p^\ast$ for $n\geq 3$ and $1 0$ if and only if $K$ is an origin-centered ellipsoid, thereby settling the Lutwak--Yang--Zhang fixed-point conjecture in this range. Our proof is based on a variational analysis along linear reflection shadow systems. To address the nonlinear structure of the $L_p$ setting, we introduce the $L_p$-Projection Rolodex, which provides a dimensional reduction of the volume of the polar $L_p$-projection body to weighted lower-dimensional sectional functionals. A suitable change of variables, together with Ball's harmonic Prékopa--Leindler inequality, yields the convexity needed along the shadow system. Under the fixed-point condition, a first-variation identity then forces $\operatorname{vol}_n(Π_p^\ast K_t)$ to remain constant throughout the deformation. The rigidity statement follows from the equality characterization under Steiner symmetrization.
