We determine the asymptotic behaviour of the iterates of the Perron-Frobenius operator for specific interval maps with an indifferent fixed point which gives rise to an infinite invariant measure.
If φ is a Pisot substitution of degree d, then the inflation and substitution homeomorphism Φ on the tiling space factors via geometric realization onto a d-dimensional solenoid. Under this realization, the collection of Φ-periodic asymptotic tilings corresponds to a finite set that projects onto the branch locus in a d-torus. We prove that if two such tiling spaces are homeomorphic, then the resulting branch loci are the same up to the action of certain affine maps on the torus.
Iterated function systems with place-dependent probabilities are considered. It is shown that the rate of convergence of transition probabilities to a unique invariant measure is geometric.
It is shown that Markov operators with equicontinuous dual operators which overlap supports have at most one invariant measure. In this way we extend the well known result proved for Markov operators with the strong Feller property by R. Z. Khas'minski.
A technique is presented for multiplexing two ergodic measure preserving transformations together to derive a third limiting transformation. This technique is used to settle a question regarding rigidity sequences of weak mixing transformations. Namely, given any rigidity sequence for an ergodic measure preserving transformation, there exists a weak mixing transformation which is rigid along the same sequence. This establishes a wide range of rigidity sequences for weakly mixing dynamical systems....
