An endomorphism is called ergodic if it is true that T^(-1)A=A implies m(A)=0 or 1, where T^(-1)A={x in X:T(x) in A}. Examples of ergodic endomorphisms include the map X->2x ...

The terms "measure," "measurable," etc. have very precise technical definitions (usually involving sigma-algebras) that can make them appear difficult to understand. However, ...

A Borel set is an element of a Borel sigma-algebra. Roughly speaking, Borel sets are the sets that can be constructed from open or closed sets by repeatedly taking countable ...

Let S be a collection of subsets of a set X, mu:S->[0,infty] a set function, and mu^* the outer measure induced by mu. The measure mu^_ that is the restriction of mu^* to the ...

gamma_r=(kappa_r)/(sigma^(r+2)), where kappa_r are cumulants and sigma is the standard deviation.

sigma=1/tau, where tau is the torsion. The symbol phi is also sometimes used instead of sigma.

A number n is called a k e-perfect number if sigma_e(n)=kn, where sigma_e(n) is the sum of the e-divisors of n.

L=sigma/(sigma_B), where sigma is the variance in a set of s Lexis trials and sigma_B is the variance assuming Bernoulli trials. If L<1, the trials are said to be subnormal, ...

Trials for which the Lexis ratio L=sigma/(sigma_B), satisfies L>1, where sigma is the variance in a set of s Lexis trials and sigma_B is the variance assuming Bernoulli ...

A pair of numbers m and n such that sigma(m)=sigma(n)=m+n-1, where sigma(m) is the divisor function. Beck and Najar (1977) found 11 augmented amicable pairs.
