We introduce block maps for subfactors and study their dynamic systems. We prove that the limit points of the dynamic system are positive multiples of biprojections and zero. For the \mathbb{Z}_2 case, the asymptotic phenomenon of the block map coincides with that of the 2D Ising model.The study of block maps requires a further development of our recent work on the Fourier analysis of subfactors.We generalize the notion of sum set estimates in additive combinatorics for subfactors and prove the exact inverse sum set theorem. Using this new method, we characterize the extremal pairs of Young's inequality for subfactors, as well as the extremal operators of the Hausdorff-Young inequality.

A Riemannian or Finsler metric on a compact manifoldM gives rise to a length function on the free loop space M, whose critical points are the closed geodesics in the given metric. If X is a homology class on M, the “minimax” critical level cr(X) is a critical value. Let M be a sphere of dimension > 2, and fix a metric g and a coefficient field G. We prove that the limit as deg(X) goes to infinity of cr(X)/ deg(X) exists. We call this limit = (M, g,G) the global mean frequency of M. As a consequence we derive resonance statements for closed geodesics on spheres; in particular either all homology on  of sufficiently high degreee lies hanging on closed geodesics of mean frequency (length/average index) , or there is a sequence of infinitely many closed geodesics whose mean frequencies converge to . The proof uses the ChasSullivan product and results of Goresky-Hingston [7].

We give a new characterization of the Orlicz–Sobolev space$W$^{1,Ψ}(R^{$n$}) in terms of a pointwise inequality connected to the Young function Ψ. We also study different Poincaré inequalities in the metric measure space.
