We develop a machinery which translates results on algebraic sums of sets of reals into the corresponding results on their cartesian product. Some consequences are: (1) The product of meager/null-additive sets in the Cantor space is meager/nulladditive, respectively. (2) The product of a meager/null-additive set and a strong measure zero/strongly meager set in the Cantor space has strong measur...

This paper is a brief summary of “M.Takahashi, T.Murofushi, S.Asahina, A new necessary and sufficient condition for the Egoroff theorem in non-additive measure theory, Fuzzy Sets and Systems, to appear.” This paper states that a newly defined condition, called condition (M), is a necessary and sufficient condition for the Egoroff theorem in non-additive measure theory. The existing necessary an...

We prove that the free additive convolution of two Borel probability measures supported on the real line can have a component that is singular continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure on R only if one of the two measures is a point mass. The density of the absolutely continuous part with respect to the Lebesgue measure is shown to be analytic wherever positive and finite. The atoms of th...

We define combinatorial principles which unify and extend the classical results of Steinhaus and Piccard on the existence of interior points in the distance set. Thus the measure and category versions are derived from one topological theorem on interior points applied to the usual topology and the density topology on the line. Likewise we unify the subgroup theorem by reference to a Ramsey prop...

On arbitrary topological groups a natural finitely additive measure can be defined via compactifications. It is closely related to Hartman’s concept of uniform distribution on non-compact groups (cf. [Ha]). Applications to several situations are possible. Some results of M. Paštéka and other authors on uniform distribution with respect to translation invariant finitely additive probability meas...

Let λ̄ be any atomless and countably additive probability measure on the product space {0,1}N with the usual σ -algebra. Then there is a purely finitely additive probability measure λ on the power set of a countable subset T ⊂ T̄ such that Lp(λ̄) can be isometrically isomorphically embedded as a closed subspace of Lp(λ). The embedding is strict. It is also ‘canonical,’ in the sense that it maps si...

Uniform measures are defined as the functionals on the space of bounded uniformly continuous functions that are continuous on bounded uniformly equicontinuous sets. If every cardinal has measure zero then every countably additive measure is a uniform measure. The functionals sequentially continuous on bounded uniformly equicontinuous sets are exactly uniform measures on the separable modificati...

The concept of finitely additive supermartingales, originally due to Bochner, is revived and developed. We exploit it to study measure decompositions over filtered probability spaces and the properties of the associated Doléans-Dade measure. We obtain versions of the Doob Meyer decomposition and, as an application, we establish a version of the Bichteler and Dellacherie theorem with no exogenou...
