Saddle-focus singular cycles and prevalence of hyperbolicity
We consider a nonlinear area preserving Anosov map on the torus phase space, which is the simplest example of a fully chaotic dynamics. We are interested in the quantum dynamics for long time, generated by the unitary quantum propagator . The usual semi-classical Trace formula expresses for finite time , in the limit , in terms of periodic orbits of of period . Recent work reach time where is the Ehrenfest time, and is the Lyapounov coefficient. Using a semi-classical normal form...
It is well known that any continuous piecewise monotone interval map f with positive topological entropy is semiconjugate to some piecewise affine map with constant slope . We prove this result for a class of Markov countably piecewise monotone continuous interval maps.
