Labeled Rauzy classes and framed translation surfaces

Corentin Boissy (2013)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

In this paper, we compare two definitions of Rauzy classes. The first one was introduced by Rauzy and was in particular used by Veech to prove the ergodicity of the Teichmüller flow. The second one is more recent and uses a “labeling” of the underlying intervals, and was used in the proof of some recent major results about the Teichmüller flow.The Rauzy diagrams obtained from the second definition are coverings of the initial ones. In this paper, we give a formula that gives the degree of this covering.This...

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.

Linear response for smooth deformations of generic nonuniformly hyperbolic unimodal maps

Viviane Baladi, Daniel Smania (2012)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

We consider C 2 families t f t of  C 4 unimodal maps f t whose critical point is slowly recurrent, and we show that the unique absolutely continuous invariant measure μ t of  f t depends differentiably on  t , as a distribution of order 1 . The proof uses transfer operators on towers whose level boundaries are mollified via smooth cutoff functions, in order to avoid artificial discontinuities. We give a new representation of  μ t for a Benedicks-Carleson map f t , in terms of a single smooth function and the inverse branches...

Lissajous knots and billiard knots

Vaughan Jones, Józef Przytycki (1998)

Banach Center Publications

We show that Lissajous knots are equivalent to billiard knots in a cube. We consider also knots in general 3-dimensional billiard tables. We analyse symmetry of knots in billiard tables and show in particular that the Alexander polynomial of a Lissajous knot is a square modulo 2.

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.
