A spectral gap property for subgroups of finite covolume in Lie groups

Bachir Bekka, Yves Cornulier (2010)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Let G be a real Lie group and H a lattice or, more generally, a closed subgroup of finite covolume in G. We show that the unitary representation λ G / H of G on L²(G/H) has a spectral gap, that is, the restriction of λ G / H to the orthogonal complement of the constants in L²(G/H) does not have almost invariant vectors. This answers a question of G. Margulis. We give an application to the spectral geometry of locally symmetric Riemannian spaces of infinite volume.

Abelian groups of zero adjoint entropy

L. Salce, P. Zanardo (2010)

Colloquium Mathematicae

The notion of adjoint entropy for endomorphisms of an Abelian group is somehow dual to that of algebraic entropy. The Abelian groups of zero adjoint entropy, i.e. ones whose endomorphisms all have zero adjoint entropy, are investigated. Torsion groups and cotorsion groups satisfying this condition are characterized. It is shown that many classes of torsionfree groups contain groups of either zero or infinite adjoint entropy. In particular, no characterization of torsionfree groups of zero adjoint...

Absolute continuity, Lyapunov exponents and rigidity I: geodesic flows

Artur Avila, Marcelo Viana, Amie Wilkinson (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We consider volume-preserving perturbations of the time-one map of the geodesic flow of a compact surface with negative curvature. We show that if the Liouville measure has Lebesgue disintegration along the center foliation then the perturbation is itself the time-one map of a smooth volume-preserving flow, and that otherwise the disintegration is necessarily atomic.

Absolutely continuous dynamics and real coboundary cocycles in L p -spaces, 0 < p < ∞

Ana Alonso, Jialin Hong, Rafael Obaya (2000)

Studia Mathematica

Conditions for the existence of measurable and integrable solutions of the cohomology equation on a measure space are deduced. They follow from the study of the ergodic structure corresponding to some families of bidimensional linear difference equations. Results valid for the non-measure-preserving case are also obtained
