Invariant measures exist under a summability condition for unimodal maps.
We investigate the existence and ergodic properties of absolutely continuous invariant measures for a class of piecewise monotone and convex self-maps of the unit interval. Our assumption entails a type of average convexity which strictly generalizes the case of individual branches being convex, as investigated by Lasota and Yorke (1982). Along with existence, we identify tractable conditions for the invariant measure to be unique and such that the system has exponential decay of correlations on...
We consider a family of transformations with a random parameter and study a random dynamical system in which one transformation is randomly selected from the family and applied on each iteration. The parameter space may be of cardinality continuum. Further, the selection of the transformation need not be independent of the position in the state space. We show the existence of absolutely continuous invariant measures for random maps on an interval under some conditions.
We classify reversible measures for the stable foliation on manifolds which are infinite covers of compact negatively curved manifolds. We extend the known results from hyperbolic surfaces to varying curvature and to all dimensions.
If is a strictly increasing sequence of integers, a continuous probability measure σ on the unit circle is said to be IP-Dirichlet with respect to if as F runs over all non-empty finite subsets F of ℕ and the minimum of F tends to infinity. IP-Dirichlet measures and their connections with IP-rigid dynamical systems have recently been investigated by Aaronson, Hosseini and Lemańczyk. We simplify and generalize some of their results, using an approach involving generalized Riesz products.
We establish existence and uniqueness of a canonical form for isometric extensions of an ergodic non-singular transformation T. This is applied to describe the structure of commutors of the isometric extensions. Moreover, for a compact group G, we construct a G-valued T-cocycle α which generates the ergodic skew product extension and admits a prescribed subgroup in the centralizer of .
We develop a relative isomorphism theory for random Bernoulli shifts by showing that any random Bernoulli shifts are relatively isomorphic if and only if they have the same fibre entropy. This allows the identification of random Bernoulli shifts with standard Bernoulli shifts.
We describe totally dissipative parabolic extensions of the one-sided Bernoulli shift. For the fractional linear case we obtain conservative and totally dissipative families of extensions. Here, the property of conservativity seems to be extremely unstable.
For a class of quadratic polynomial endomorphisms close to the standard torus map , we show that the Julia set J(f) is homeomorphic to the torus. We identify J(f) as the closure ℛ of the set of repelling periodic points and as the Shilov boundary of the set K(f) of points with bounded forward orbit. Moreover, it turns out that (J(f),f) is a mixing repeller and supports a measure of maximal entropy for f which is uniquely determined as the harmonic measure for K(f).
We study the jumps of topological entropy for interval or circle maps. We prove in particular that the topological entropy is continuous at any with . To this end we study the continuity of the entropy of the Buzzi-Hofbauer diagrams associated to interval maps.
