Markov structures for non-uniformly expanding maps on compact manifolds in arbitrary dimension.
We introduce the notion of metric entropy for a nonautonomous dynamical system given by a sequence (Xn, μn) of probability spaces and a sequence of measurable maps fn : Xn → Xn+1 with fnμn = μn+1. This notion generalizes the classical concept of metric entropy established by Kolmogorov and Sinai, and is related via a variational inequality to the topological entropy of nonautonomous systems as defined by Kolyada, Misiurewicz, and Snoha. Moreover, it shares several properties with the classical notion...
Let f be a continuous self-map of a smooth compact connected and simply-connected manifold of dimension m ≥ 3 and r a fixed natural number. A topological invariant , introduced by the authors [Forum Math. 21 (2009)], is equal to the minimal number of r-periodic points for all smooth maps homotopic to f. In this paper we calculate for all self-maps of S³.
The problem of description of the set Per(f) of all minimal periods of a self-map f:X → X is studied. If X is a rational exterior space (e.g. a compact Lie group) then there exists a description of the set of minimal periods analogous to that for a torus map given by Jiang and Llibre. Our approach is based on the Haibao formula for the Lefschetz number of a self-map of a rational exterior space.
Let f be a smooth self-map of m-dimensional, m ≥ 4, smooth closed connected and simply-connected manifold, r a fixed natural number. For the class of maps with periodic sequence of Lefschetz numbers of iterations the authors introduced in [Graff G., Kaczkowska A., Reducing the number of periodic points in smooth homotopy class of self-maps of simply-connected manifolds with periodic sequence of Lefschetz numbers, Ann. Polon. Math. (in press)] the topological invariant J[f] which is equal to the...
We show that in normalized families of polynomial or rational maps, Misiurewicz maps (critically finite or infinite) unfold generically. For example, if is critically finite with non-degenerate critical point such that are hyperbolic periodic points for i = 1,...,n, then IV-1.
