About Stefan's definition of a foliation with singularities : a reduction of the axioms
The Algebraic Yuzvinski Formula expresses the algebraic entropy of an endomorphism of a finitedimensional rational vector space as the Mahler measure of its characteristic polynomial. In a recent paper, we have proved this formula, independently fromits counterpart – the Yuzvinski Formula – for the topological entropy proved by Yuzvinski in 1968. In this paper we first compare the proof of the Algebraic Yuzvinski Formula with a proof of the Yuzvinski Formula given by Lind and Ward in 1988, underlying...
We consider volume-preserving perturbations of the time-one map of the geodesic flow of a compact surface with negative curvature. We show that if the Liouville measure has Lebesgue disintegration along the center foliation then the perturbation is itself the time-one map of a smooth volume-preserving flow, and that otherwise the disintegration is necessarily atomic.
Conditions for the existence of measurable and integrable solutions of the cohomology equation on a measure space are deduced. They follow from the study of the ergodic structure corresponding to some families of bidimensional linear difference equations. Results valid for the non-measure-preserving case are also obtained
We show that a dissipative, ergodic measure preserving transformation of a σ-finite, non-atomic measure space always has many non-proportional, absolutely continuous, invariant measures and is ergodic with respect to each one of these.
A two dimensional stochastic differential equation is suggested as a stochastic model for the Kermack–McKendrick epidemics. Its strong (weak) existence and uniqueness and absorption properties are investigated. The examples presented in Section 5 are meant to illustrate possible different asymptotics of a solution to the equation.
We prove that if A is the basin of immediate attraction to a periodic attracting or parabolic point for a rational map f on the Riemann sphere, if A is completely invariant (i.e. ), and if μ is an arbitrary f-invariant measure with positive Lyapunov exponents on ∂A, then μ-almost every point q ∈ ∂A is accessible along a curve from A. In fact, we prove the accessibility of every “good” q, i.e. one for which “small neigh bourhoods arrive at large scale” under iteration of f. This generalizes the...
