Multi-valued, singular stochastic evolution inclusions
We provide an abstract variational existence and uniqueness result for
multi-valued, monotone, non-coercive stochastic evolution inclusions in Hilbert
spaces with general additive and Wiener multiplicative noise. As examples we
discuss certain singular diffusion equations such as the stochastic 1-Laplacian
evolution (total variation flow) in all space dimensions and the stochastic
singular fast diffusion equation. In case of additive Wiener noise we prove the
existence of a unique weak-* mean ergodic invariant measure.Comment: 39 pages, in press: J. Math. Pures Appl. (2013
Unimodular measures on the space of all Riemannian manifolds
We study unimodular measures on the space of all pointed
Riemannian -manifolds. Examples can be constructed from finite volume
manifolds, from measured foliations with Riemannian leaves, and from invariant
random subgroups of Lie groups. Unimodularity is preserved under weak* limits,
and under certain geometric constraints (e.g. bounded geometry) unimodular
measures can be used to compactify sets of finite volume manifolds. One can
then understand the geometry of manifolds with large, finite volume by
passing to unimodular limits.
We develop a structure theory for unimodular measures on ,
characterizing them via invariance under a certain geodesic flow, and showing
that they correspond to transverse measures on a foliated `desingularization'
of . We also give a geometric proof of a compactness theorem for
unimodular measures on the space of pointed manifolds with pinched negative
curvature, and characterize unimodular measures supported on hyperbolic
-manifolds with finitely generated fundamental group.Comment: 81 page
