Let be the tent map with slope a. Let c be its turning point, and the absolutely continuous invariant probability measure. For an arbitrary, bounded, almost everywhere continuous function g, it is shown that for almost every a, . As a corollary, we deduce that the critical point of a quadratic map is generically not typical for its absolutely continuous invariant probability measure, if it exists.
Nous proposons de formaliser une méthode d’approximation diophantienne dans en considérant l’action de sur le demi-plan complexe. On retrouvera le thème classique de la connexion entre développement en fractions continues et flots géodésiques modélisé ici par un billard hyperbolique.
We overview a unified approach to the André-Oort and Manin-Mumford conjectures based on a combination of Galois-theoretic and ergodic techniques. This paper is based on recent work of Klingler, Ullmo and Yafaev on the André-Oort conjecture, and of Ratazzi and Ullmo on the Manin-Mumford conjecture.
We study ergodic properties of the class of Gaussian automorphisms whose ergodic self-joinings remain Gaussian. For such automorphisms we describe the structure of their factors and of their centralizer. We show that Gaussian automorphisms with simple spectrum belong to this class. We prove a new sufficient condition for non-disjointness of automorphisms giving rise to a better understanding of Furstenberg's problem relating disjointness to the lack of common factors. This...
We address the problem of the multifractal analysis of local entropies for arbitrary invariant measures. We obtain an upper estimate on the multifractal spectrum of local entropies, which is similar to the estimate for local dimensions. We show that in the case of Gibbs measures the above estimate becomes an exact equality. In this case the multifractal spectrum of local entropies is a smooth concave function. We discuss possible singularities in the multifractal spectrum and their relation to phase...
We introduce the notion of a generalized interval exchange induced by a measurable k-partition of [0,1). can be viewed as the corresponding restriction of a nondecreasing function on ℝ with . A is called λ-dense if λ(A i∩(a, b))>0 for each i and any 0≤ a< b≤1. We show that the 2–3 Furstenberg conjecture is invalid if and only if there are 2 and 3 λ-dense partitions A and B of [0,1), such that . We give necessary and sufficient conditions for this equality to hold. We show that...
The symbolic dynamical system associated with the Morse sequence is strictly ergodic. We describe some topological and metrical properties of the Cartesian powers of this system, and some of its other self-joinings. Among other things, we show that non generic points appear in the fourth power of the system, but not in lower powers. We exhibit various examples and counterexamples related to the property of weak disjointness of measure preserving dynamical systems.
It is shown that for a typical continuous learning system defined on a compact convex subset of ℝⁿ the Hausdorff dimension of its invariant measure is equal to zero.
It is shown that in the group of invertible measurable nonsingular transformations on a Lebesgue probability space, endowed with the coarse topology, the transformations with infinite ergodic index are generic; they actually form a dense set. (A transformation has infinite ergodic index if all its finite Cartesian powers are ergodic.) This answers a question asked by C. Silva. A similar result was proved by U. Sachdeva in 1971, for the group of transformations preserving an infinite measure. Exploring...
This article is devoted to the study of the translation flow on self-similar tilings associated with a substitution of Pisot type. We construct a geometric representation and give necessary and sufficient conditions for the flow to have pure discrete spectrum. As an application we demonstrate that, for certain beta-shifts, the natural extension is naturally isomorphic to a toral automorphism.
