Half-delocalization of eigenfunctions for the Laplacian on an Anosov manifold

Nalini Anantharaman, Stéphane Nonnenmacher (2007)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

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....

Hamiltonian loops from the ergodic point of view

Leonid Polterovich (1999)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Let G be the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of a closed symplectic manifold Y . A loop h : S 1 G is called strictly ergodic if for some irrational number the associated skew product map T : S 1 × Y S 1 × Y defined by T ( t , y ) = ( t + α ; h ( t ) y ) is strictly ergodic. In the present paper we address the following question. Which elements of the fundamental group of G can be represented by strictly ergodic loops? We prove existence of contractible strictly ergodic loops for a wide class of symplectic manifolds (for instance for simply connected...

Hausdorff and conformal measures for expanding piecewise monotonic maps of the interval II

Franz Hofbauer (1993)

Studia Mathematica

We construct examples of expanding piecewise monotonic maps on the interval which have a closed topologically transitive invariant subset A with Darboux property, Hausdorff dimension d ∈ (0,1) and zero d-dimensional Hausdorff measure. This shows that the results about Hausdorff and conformal measures proved in the first part of this paper are in some sense best possible.

Herman’s last geometric theorem

Bassam Fayad, Raphaël Krikorian (2009)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

We present a proof of Herman’s Last Geometric Theorem asserting that if F is a smooth diffeomorphism of the annulus having the intersection property, then any given F -invariant smooth curve on which the rotation number of F is Diophantine is accumulated by a positive measure set of smooth invariant curves on which F is smoothly conjugated to rotation maps. This implies in particular that a Diophantine elliptic fixed point of an area preserving diffeomorphism of the plane is stable. The remarkable...

Homotopy and dynamics for homeomorphisms of solenoids and Knaster continua

Jarosław Kwapisz (2001)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We describe the homotopy classes of self-homeomorphisms of solenoids and Knaster continua. In particular, we demonstrate that homeomorphisms within one homotopy class have the same (explicitly given) topological entropy and that they are actually semi-conjugate to an algebraic homeomorphism in the case when the entropy is positive.

Hopf's ratio ergodic theorem by inducing

Roland Zweimüller (2004)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We present a very quick and easy proof of the classical Stepanov-Hopf ratio ergodic theorem, deriving it from Birkhoff's ergodic theorem by a simple inducing argument.
