Harmonic measures for distributions with finite support on the mapping class group are singular
Kaimanovich and Masur showed that a random walk on the mapping class group
for an initial distribution with finite first moment and whose support
generates a non-elementary subgroup, converges almost surely to a point in the
space PMF of projective measured foliations on the surface. This defines a
harmonic measure on PMF. Here, we show that when the initial distribution has
finite support, the corresponding harmonic measure is singular with respect to
the natural Lebesgue measure on PMF.Comment: 43 pages, 16 figures. Minor improvements overall, specifically

A stability result for nonlinear Neumann problems under boundary variations
In this paper we study, in dimension two, the stability of the solutions of
some nonlinear elliptic equations with Neumann boundary conditions, under
perturbations of the domains in the Hausdorff complementary topology.Comment: 26 page
Generalized binary arrays from quasi-orthogonal cocycles
Generalized perfect binary arrays (GPBAs) were used by Jedwab to
construct perfect binary arrays. A non-trivial GPBA can exist only if its energy
is 2 or a multiple of 4. This paper introduces generalized optimal binary arrays
(GOBAs) with even energy not divisible by 4, as analogs of GPBAs. We give a
procedure to construct GOBAs based on a characterization of the arrays in terms
of 2-cocycles. As a further application, we determine negaperiodic Golay pairs
arising from generalized optimal binary sequences of small length.Junta de Andalucía FQM-01
Quasi-selective ultrafilters and asymptotic numerosities
We isolate a new class of ultrafilters on N, called "quasi-selective" because
they are intermediate between selective ultrafilters and P-points. (Under the
Continuum Hypothesis these three classes are distinct.) The existence of
quasi-selective ultrafilters is equivalent to the existence of "asymptotic
numerosities" for all sets of tuples of natural numbers. Such numerosities are
hypernatural numbers that generalize finite cardinalities to countable point
sets. Most notably, they maintain the structure of ordered semiring, and, in a
precise sense, they allow for a natural extension of asymptotic density to all
sequences of tuples of natural numbers.Comment: 27 page
