Fibration of the phase space for the Korteweg-de Vries equation

Thomas Kappeler (1991)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

In this article we prove that the fibration of L 2 ( S 1 ) by potentials which are isospectral for the 1-dimensional periodic Schrödinger equation, is trivial. This result can be applied, in particular, to N -gap solutions of the Korteweg-de Vries equation (KdV) on the circle: one shows that KdV, a completely integrable Hamiltonian system, has global action-angle variables.

Fixed points of discrete nilpotent group actions on S 2

Suely Druck, Fuquan Fang, Sebastião Firmo (2002)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We prove that for each integer k 2 there is an open neighborhood 𝒱 k of the identity map of the 2-sphere S 2 , in C 1 topology such that: if G is a nilpotent subgroup of Diff 1 ( S 2 ) with length k of nilpotency, generated by elements in 𝒱 k , then the natural G -action on S 2 has nonempty fixed point set. Moreover, the G -action has at least two fixed points if the action has a finite nontrivial orbit.

Geometry and dynamics of admissible metrics in measure spaces

Anatoly Vershik, Pavel Zatitskiy, Fedor Petrov (2013)

Open Mathematics

We study a wide class of metrics in a Lebesgue space, namely the class of so-called admissible metrics. We consider the cone of admissible metrics, introduce a special norm in it, prove compactness criteria, define the ɛ-entropy of a measure space with an admissible metric, etc. These notions and related results are applied to the theory of transformations with invariant measure; namely, we study the asymptotic properties of orbits in the cone of admissible metrics with respect to a given transformation...

Lemme de l'ombre et non divergence des horosphères d'une variété géométriquement finie

Barbara Schapira (2004)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Dans cet article, nous établissons dans un premier temps un lemme de l'ombre dans le cas des variétés géométriquement finies à courbure négative variable. Ce théorème donne des estimées très précises de la décroissance de la mesure de Patterson des ombres, sur le bord à l'infini de telles variétés. Nous en déduisons un résultat de non divergence des horosphères. Plus précisément, nous considérons certaines moyennes naturelles sur de grandes boules horosphériques, dont nous...

Linear actions of free groups

Mark Pollicott, Richard Sharp (2001)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

In this paper we study dynamical properties of linear actions by free groups via the induced action on projective space. This point of view allows us to introduce techniques from Thermodynamic Formalism. In particular, we obtain estimates on the growth of orbits and their limiting distribution on projective space.

Local density of diffeomorphisms with large centralizers

Christian Bonatti, Sylvain Crovisier, Gioia M. Vago, Amie Wilkinson (2008)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Given any compact manifold M , we construct a non-empty open subset 𝒪 of the space Diff 1 ( M ) of C 1 -diffeomorphisms and a dense subset 𝒟 𝒪 such that the centralizer of every diffeomorphism in 𝒟 is uncountable, hence non-trivial.
