The absolute continuity of the invariant measure of random iterated function systems with overlaps

Balázs Bárány, Tomas Persson (2010)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We consider iterated function systems on the interval with random perturbation. Let Y ε be uniformly distributed in [1-ε,1+ ε] and let f i C 1 + α be contractions with fixpoints a i . We consider the iterated function system Y ε f i + a i ( 1 - Y ε ) i = 1 , where each of the maps is chosen with probability p i . It is shown that the invariant density is in L² and its L² norm does not grow faster than 1/√ε as ε vanishes. The proof relies on defining a piecewise hyperbolic dynamical system on the cube with an SRB-measure whose projection is the...

The action spectrum near positive definite invariant tori

Patrick Bernard (2003)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

We show that the Birkhoff normal form near a positive definite KAM torus is given by the function α of Mather. This observation is due to Siburg [Si2], [Si1] in dimension 2. It clarifies the link between the Birkhoff invariants and the action spectrum near the torus. Our extension to high dimension is made possible by a simplification of the proof given in [Si2].

The arithmetic of curves defined by iteration

Wade Hindes (2015)

Acta Arithmetica

We show how the size of the Galois groups of iterates of a quadratic polynomial f can be parametrized by certain rational points on the curves Cₙ: y² = fⁿ(x) and their quadratic twists (here fⁿ denotes the nth iterate of f). To that end, we study the arithmetic of such curves over global and finite fields, translating key problems in the arithmetic of polynomial iteration into a geometric framework. This point of view has several dynamical applications. For instance, we establish a maximality theorem...
