We define the space of trajectories of a doubly stochastic operator on L¹(X,μ) as a shift space , where ν is a probability measure defined as in the Ionescu-Tulcea theorem and σ is the shift transformation. We study connections between the entropy of a doubly stochastic operator and the entropy of the shift on the space of trajectories of this operator.
It is not known if every finitary factor of a Bernoulli scheme is finitarily isomorphic to a Bernoulli scheme (is finitarily Bernoulli). In this paper, for any Bernoulli scheme X, we define a metric on the finitary factor maps from X. We show that for any finitary map f: X → Y, there exists a sequence of finitary maps fₙ: X → Y(n) that converges to f, where each Y(n) is finitarily Bernoulli. Thus, the maps to finitarily Bernoulli factors are dense. Let (X(n)) be a sequence of Bernoulli schemes such...
Let be the tent map with slope a. Let c be its turning point, and the absolutely continuous invariant probability measure. For an arbitrary, bounded, almost everywhere continuous function g, it is shown that for almost every a, . As a corollary, we deduce that the critical point of a quadratic map is generically not typical for its absolutely continuous invariant probability measure, if it exists.
We study the high-energy eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on a compact Riemannian manifold with Anosov geodesic flow. The localization of a semiclassical measure associated with a sequence of eigenfunctions is characterized by the Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy of this measure. We show that this entropy is necessarily bounded from below by a constant which, in the case of constant negative curvature, equals half the maximal entropy. In this sense, high-energy eigenfunctions are at least half-delocalized....
