The Teichmüller geodesic flow and the geometry of the Hodge bundle

Carlos Matheus (2010/2011)

Séminaire de théorie spectrale et géométrie

The Teichmüller geodesic flow is the flow obtained by quasiconformal deformation of Riemann surface structures. The goal of this lecture is to show the strong connection between the geometry of the Hodge bundle (a vector bundle over the moduli space of Riemann surfaces) and the dynamics of the Teichmüller geodesic flow. In particular, we shall provide geometric criterions (based on the variational formulas derived by G. Forni) to detect some special orbits (“totally degenerate”) of the Teichmüller...

Thermodynamic formalism, topological pressure, and escape rates for critically non-recurrent conformal dynamics

Mariusz Urbański (2003)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We show that for critically non-recurrent rational functions all the definitions of topological pressure proposed in [12] coincide for all t ≥ 0. Then we study in detail the Gibbs states corresponding to the potentials -tlog|f'| and their σ-finite invariant versions. In particular we provide a sufficient condition for their finiteness. We determine the escape rates of critically non-recurrent rational functions. In the presence of parabolic points we also establish a polynomial rate of appropriately...

Topological conjugacy of cascades generated by gradient flows on the two-dimensional sphere

Andrzej Bielecki (2000)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

This article presents a theorem about the topological conjugacy of a gradient dynamical system with a constant time step and the cascade generated by its Euler method. It is shown that on the two-dimensional sphere S² the gradient dynamical flow is, under some natural assumptions, correctly reproduced by the Euler method for a sufficiently small time step. This means that the time-map of the induced dynamical system is globally topologically conjugate to the discrete dynamical system obtained via...

Topological Pressure for One-Dimensional Holomorphic Dynamical Systems

Katrin Gelfert, Christian Wolf (2007)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

For a class of one-dimensional holomorphic maps f of the Riemann sphere we prove that for a wide class of potentials φ the topological pressure is entirely determined by the values of φ on the repelling periodic points of f. This is a version of a classical result of Bowen for hyperbolic diffeomorphisms in the holomorphic non-uniformly hyperbolic setting.

Topological sequence entropy for maps of the circle

Roman Hric (2000)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

A continuous map f of the interval is chaotic iff there is an increasing sequence of nonnegative integers T such that the topological sequence entropy of f relative to T , h T ( f ) , is positive ([FS]). On the other hand, for any increasing sequence of nonnegative integers T there is a chaotic map f of the interval such that h T ( f ) = 0 ([H]). We prove that the same results hold for maps of the circle. We also prove some preliminary results concerning topological sequence entropy for maps of general compact metric...

Transitive sensitive subsystems for interval maps

Sylvie Ruette (2005)

Studia Mathematica

We prove that for continuous interval maps the existence of a non-empty closed invariant subset which is transitive and sensitive to initial conditions is implied by positive topological entropy and implies chaos in the sense of Li-Yorke, and we exhibit examples showing that these three notions are distinct.

Transversely affine foliations of some surface bundles over S 1 of pseudo-Anosov type

Hiromichi Nakayama (1991)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

We consider transversely affine foliations without compact leaves of higher genus surface bundles over the circle of pseudo-Anosov type such that the Euler classes of the tangent bundles of the foliations coincide with that of the bundle foliation. We classify such foliations of those surface bundles whose monodromies satisfy a certain condition.
