For any 1-1 measure preserving map T of a probability space we can form the [T, Id] and [T, T−1] automorphisms as well as the corresponding endomorphisms and decreasing sequence of σ-algebras. In this paper we show that if T has zero entropy and the [T, Id] automorphism is isomorphic to a Bernoulli shift then the decreasing sequence of σ-algebras generated by the [T, Id] endomorphism is standar...

We present a family of topology preserving mappings similar to the Self-Organizing Map (SOM) and the Generative Topographic Map (GTM) . These techniques can be considered as a non-linear projection from input or data space to the output or latent space (usually 2D or 3D), plus a clustering technique, that updates the centres. A common frame based on the GTM structure can be used with different ...

The White-Point Preserving Least Squares (WPPLS) algorithm is a method for colour correction that constrains the white point to be exactly mapped into its correct XYZ equivalent. For printers, however, the mapping is from device coordinates to colorimetric densities: the device white is thus mapped into a zero vector and the WPPLS method cannot go forward. Here we use a polynomial regression mo...

Dan Rudolph showed that for an amenable group, Γ, the generic measure-preserving action of Γ on a Lebesgue space has zero entropy. Here, this is extended to nonamenable groups. In fact, the proof shows that every action is a factor of a zero entropy action! This uses the strange phenomena that in the presence of nonamenability, entropy can increase under a factor map. The proof uses Seward’s re...

Let $\Re$ and $\Re'$ unital $2$,$3$-torsion free alternative rings $\varphi: \Re \rightarrow \Re'$ be a surjective Lie multiplicative map that preserves idempotents. Assume has nontrivial Under certain assumptions on $\Re$, we prove $\varphi$ is of the form $\psi + \tau$, where $\psi$ either an isomorphism or negative anti-isomorphism onto $\tau$ additive mapping into centre which maps commutat...
