Random orderings and unique ergodicity of automorphism groups

Omer Angel, Alexander S. Kechris, Russell Lyons (2014)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We show that the only random orderings of finite graphs that are invariant under isomorphism and induced subgraph are the uniform random orderings. We show how this implies the unique ergodicity of the automorphism group of the random graph. We give similar theorems for other structures, including, for example, metric spaces. These give the first examples of uniquely ergodic groups, other than compact groups and extremely amenable groups, after Glasner andWeiss’s example of the group of all permutations...

Random permutations and unique fully supported ergodicity for the Euler adic transformation

Sarah Bailey Frick, Karl Petersen (2008)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

There is only one fully supported ergodic invariant probability measure for the adic transformation on the space of infinite paths in the graph that underlies the eulerian numbers. This result may partially justify a frequent assumption about the equidistribution of random permutations.

Randomly connected dynamical systems - asymptotic stability

Katarzyna Horbacz (1998)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

We give sufficient conditions for asymptotic stability of a Markov operator governing the evolution of measures due to the action of randomly chosen dynamical systems. We show that the existence of an invariant measure for the transition operator implies the existence of an invariant measure for the semigroup generated by the system.

Rank gradient, cost of groups and the rank versus Heegaard genus problem

Miklós Abért, Nikolay Nikolov (2012)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We study the growth of the rank of subgroups of finite index in residually finite groups, by relating it to the notion of cost. As a by-product, we show that the ‘rank vs. Heegaard genus’ conjecture on hyperbolic 3-manifolds is incompatible with the ‘fixed price problem’ in topological dynamics.

Rapid Emergence of Co-colonization with Community-acquired and Hospital-Acquired Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Strains in the Hospital Setting

E. M. C. D’Agata, G. F. Webb, J. Pressley (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Background: Community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA), a novel strain of MRSA, has recently emerged and rapidly spread in the community. Invasion into the hospital setting with replacement of the hospital-acquired MRSA (HA-MRSA) has also been documented. Co-colonization with both CA-MRSA and HA-MRSA would have important clinical implications given differences in antimicrobial susceptibility profiles and the potential...

Rational invariant tori, phase space tunneling, and spectra for non-selfadjoint operators in dimension 2

Michael Hitrik, Johannes Sjöstrand (2008)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

We study spectral asymptotics and resolvent bounds for non-selfadjoint perturbations of selfadjoint h -pseudodifferential operators in dimension 2, assuming that the classical flow of the unperturbed part is completely integrable. Spectral contributions coming from rational invariant Lagrangian tori are analyzed. Estimating the tunnel effect between strongly irrational (Diophantine) and rational tori, we obtain an accurate description of the spectrum in a suitable complex window, provided that the...

Rational periodic points for quadratic maps

Jung Kyu Canci (2010)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Let K be a number field. Let S be a finite set of places of K containing all the archimedean ones. Let R S be the ring of S -integers of K . In the present paper we consider endomorphisms of 1 of degree 2 , defined over K , with good reduction outside S . We prove that there exist only finitely many such endomorphisms, up to conjugation by PGL 2 ( R S ) , admitting a periodic point in 1 ( K ) of order > 3 . Also, all but finitely many classes with a periodic point in 1 ( K ) of order 3 are parametrized by an irreducible curve.

Ratner's property for special flows over irrational rotations under functions of bounded variation. II

Adam Kanigowski (2014)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We consider special flows over the rotation on the circle by an irrational α under roof functions of bounded variation. The roof functions, in the Lebesgue decomposition, are assumed to have a continuous singular part coming from a quasi-similar Cantor set (including the devil's staircase case). Moreover, a finite number of discontinuities is allowed. Assuming that α has bounded partial quotients, we prove that all such flows are weakly mixing and enjoy the weak Ratner property. Moreover, we provide...
