Ergodic retractions for families of asymptotically nonexpansive mappings.
Recently, T. Tao gave a finitary proof of a convergence theorem for multiple averages with several commuting transformations, and soon thereafter T. Austin gave an ergodic proof of the same result. Although we give here another proof of the same theorem, this is not the main goal of this paper. Our main concern is to provide tools for the case of several commuting transformations, similar to the tools successfully used in the case of a single transformation, with the idea that they may be used in...
The aim of this short note is to present in terse style the meaning and consequences of the "filling scheme" approach for a probability measure preserving transformation. A cohomological equation encapsulates the argument. We complete and simplify Woś' study (1986) of the reversibility of the ergodic limits when integrability is not assumed. We give short and unified proofs of well known results about the behaviour of ergodic averages, like Kesten's lemma (1975). The strikingly simple proof of the...
We determine the number and properties of the invariant measures under the projective flow defined by a family of one-dimensional Jacobi operators. We calculate the derivative of the Floquet coefficient on the absolutely continuous spectrum and deduce the existence of the non-tangential limit of Weyl m-functions in the -topology.
A unified introduction to the dynamics of interval exchange maps and related topics, such as the geometry of translation surfaces, renormalization operators, and Teichmüller flows, starting from the basic definitions and culminating with the proof that almost every interval exchange map is uniquely ergodic. Great emphasis is put on examples and geometric interpretations of the main ideas.
Jones and Rosenblatt started the study of an ergodic transform which is analogous to the martingale transform. In this paper we present a unified treatment of the ergodic transforms associated to positive groups induced by nonsingular flows and to general means which include the usual averages, Cesàro-α averages and Abel means. We prove the boundedness in , 1 < p < ∞, of the maximal ergodic transforms assuming that the semigroup is Cesàro bounded in . For p = 1 we find that the maximal ergodic...
We prove a new type of universality theorem for the Riemann zeta-function and other -functions (which are universal in the sense of Voronin’s theorem). In contrast to previous universality theorems for the zeta-function or its various generalizations, here the approximating shifts are taken from the orbit of an ergodic transformation on the real line.
We construct a class of rank-one infinite measure-preserving transformations such that for each transformation T in the class, the cartesian product T × T is ergodic, but the product is not. We also prove that the product of any rank-one transformation with its inverse is conservative, while there are infinite measure-preserving conservative ergodic Markov shifts whose product with their inverse is not conservative.
We study ergodic properties of stochastic geometric wave equations on a particular model with the target being the 2D sphere while considering only solutions which are independent of the space variable. This simplification leads to a degenerate stochastic equation in the tangent bundle of the 2D sphere. Studying this equation, we prove existence and non-uniqueness of invariant probability measures for the original problem and obtain also results on attractivity towards an invariant measure. We also...
Let = [0,1) be the additive group of real numbers modulo 1, α ∈ be an irrational number and t ∈ . We study ergodicity of skew product extensions T : × ℤ² → × ℤ², .
