The Poincaré-Bendixson theorem and arational foliations on the sphere

Igor Nikolaev (1996)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Foliations on the 2-sphere with a finite number of non-orientable singularities are considered. For this class a Poincaré-Bendixson theorem is established. In particular, the work gives an answer to a problem of H. Rosenberg concerning labyrinths.

The rate of convergence for iterated function systems

Maciej Ślęczka (2011)

Studia Mathematica

Iterated function systems with place-dependent probabilities are considered. It is shown that the rate of convergence of transition probabilities to a unique invariant measure is geometric.

The recurrence dimension for piecewise monotonic maps of the interval

Franz Hofbauer (2005)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

We investigate a weighted version of Hausdorff dimension introduced by V. Afraimovich, where the weights are determined by recurrence times. We do this for an ergodic invariant measure with positive entropy of a piecewise monotonic transformation on the interval [ 0 , 1 ] , giving first a local result and proving then a formula for the dimension of the measure in terms of entropy and characteristic exponent. This is later used to give a relation between the dimension of a closed invariant subset and a pressure...

The return sequence of the Bowen-Series map for punctured surfaces

Manuel Stadlbauer (2004)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

For a non-compact hyperbolic surface M of finite area, we study a certain Poincaré section for the geodesic flow. The canonical, non-invertible factor of the first return map to this section is shown to be pointwise dual ergodic with return sequence (aₙ) given by aₙ = π/(4(Area(M) + 2π)) · n/(log n). We use this result to deduce that the section map itself is rationally ergodic, and that the geodesic flow associated to M is ergodic with respect to the Liouville measure. ...
