General spectral flow formula for fixed maximal domain

Bernhelm Booss-Bavnbek, Chaofeng Zhu (2005)

Open Mathematics

Similarity:

We consider a continuous curve of linear elliptic formally self-adjoint differential operators of first order with smooth coefficients over a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary together with a continuous curve of global elliptic boundary value problems. We express the spectral flow of the resulting continuous family of (unbounded) self-adjoint Fredholm operators in terms of the Maslov index of two related curves of Lagrangian spaces. One curve is given by the varying domains,...

Exponential mixing for the Teichmüller flow

Artur Avila, Sébastien Gouëzel, Jean-Christophe Yoccoz (2006)

Publications Mathématiques de l'IHÉS

Similarity:

We study the dynamics of the Teichmüller flow in the moduli space of abelian differentials (and more generally, its restriction to any connected component of a stratum). We show that the (Masur-Veech) absolutely continuous invariant probability measure is exponentially mixing for the class of Hölder observables. A geometric consequence is that the S L ( 2 , ℝ ) action in the moduli space has a spectral gap.
