Persistence of fixed points under rigid perturbations of maps

Salvador Addas-Zanata, Pedro A. S. Salomão (2014)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Let f: S¹ × [0,1] → S¹ × [0,1] be a real-analytic diffeomorphism which is homotopic to the identity map and preserves an area form. Assume that for some lift f̃: ℝ × [0,1] → ℝ × [0,1] we have Fix(f̃) = ℝ × 0 and that f̃ positively translates points in ℝ × 1. Let f ̃ ϵ be the perturbation of f̃ by the rigid horizontal translation (x,y) ↦ (x+ϵ,y). We show that F i x ( f ̃ ϵ ) = for all ϵ > 0 sufficiently small. The proof follows from Kerékjártó’s construction of Brouwer lines for orientation preserving homeomorphisms...

Polynomial decay of correlations for a class of smooth flows on the two torus

Bassam Fayad (2001)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

Kočergin introduced in 1975 a class of smooth flows on the two torus that are mixing. When these flows have one fixed point, they can be viewed as special flows over an irrational rotation of the circle, with a ceiling function having a power-like singularity. Under a Diophantine condition on the rotation’s angle, we prove that the special flows actually have a t - η -speed of mixing, for some η > 0 .

Position dependent random maps in one and higher dimensions

Wael Bahsoun, Paweł Góra (2005)

Studia Mathematica

A random map is a discrete-time dynamical system in which one of a number of transformations is randomly selected and applied on each iteration of the process. We study random maps with position dependent probabilities on the interval and on a bounded domain of ℝⁿ. Sufficient conditions for the existence of an absolutely continuous invariant measure for a random map with position dependent probabilities on the interval and on a bounded domain of ℝⁿ are the main results.

Pourquoi les points périodiques des homéomorphismes du plan tournent-ils autour de certains points fixes ?

Patrice Le Calvez (2008)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Soit f un homéomorphisme du plan qui préserve l’orientation et qui a un point périodique z * de période q 2 . Nous montrons qu’il existe un point fixe z tel que le nombre d’enlacement de z * et z ne soit pas nul. En d’autres termes, le nombre de rotation de l’orbite de z * dans l’anneau 2 { z } est un élément non nul de / . Ceci donne une réponse positive à une question posée par John Franks.

Powers and alternative laws

Nicholas Ormes, Petr Vojtěchovský (2007)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

A groupoid is alternative if it satisfies the alternative laws x ( x y ) = ( x x ) y and x ( y y ) = ( x y ) y . These laws induce four partial maps on + × + ( r , s ) ...

Pruning theory and Thurston's classification of surface homeomorphisms

André de Carvalho, Toby Hall (2001)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Two dynamical deformation theories are presented – one for surface homeomorphisms, called pruning, and another for graph endomorphisms, called kneading – both giving conditions under which all of the dynamics in an open set can be destroyed, while leaving the dynamics unchanged elsewhere. The theories are related to each other and to Thurston’s classification of surface homeomorphisms up to isotopy.
