Fibre expanding systems have been introduced by Denker and Gordin. Here we show the existence of a finite partition for such systems which is fibrewise a Markov partition. Such partitions have direct applications to the Abramov-Rokhlin formula for relative entropy and certain polynomial endomorphisms of ℂ².

In the theory of rational maps an important role is played by matings. These are probably the best understood of all rational functions, but they are bizarre, and involve gluing dendrites together to get spheres carrying Peano curves. In the theory of Kleinian groups, there is a parallel construction, the construction of double limits, that is central to Thurston’s hyperbolization theorem for 3-manifolds that fiber over the circle with pseudo-Anosov monodromy. It also involves gluing dendrites and...

Let $G:=\mathrm{SO}{(n,1)}^{\circ }$ and $\Gamma (n-1)/2$ for $n=2,3$ and when $\delta >n-2$ for $n\ge 4$, we obtain an effective archimedean counting result for a discrete orbit of $\Gamma$ in a homogeneous space $H\setminus G$ where $H$ is the trivial group, a symmetric subgroup or a horospherical subgroup. More precisely, we show that for any effectively well-rounded family $\{{ℬ}_T\subset H\setminus G\}$ of compact subsets, there exists $\eta >0$ such that $\#\left[e\right]\Gamma \cap {ℬ}_T=ℳ\left({ℬ}_T\right)+O\left(ℳ{\left({ℬ}_T\right)}^{1-\eta }\right)$ for an explicit measure $ℳ$ on $H\setminus G$ which depends on $\Gamma$. We also apply the affine sieve and describe the distribution of almost primes on orbits of $\Gamma$ in arithmetic settings....

Let T be a geometrically finite rational map, p(T) its petal number and δ the Hausdorff dimension of its Julia set. We give a construction of the σ-finite and T-invariant measure equivalent to the δ-conformal measure. We prove that this measure is finite if and only if $\frac{p\left(T\right)+1}{p\left(T\right)}\delta >2$. Under this assumption and if T is parabolic, we prove that the only equilibrium states are convex combinations of the T-invariant probability and δ-masses at parabolic cycles.

Nous mettons en perspective différentes méthodes de changement d’échelles et illustrons leur pertinence en mettant sur pieds des preuves simples et élémentaires de plusieurs théorèmes biens connus en analyse ou géométrie complexe. Les situations abordées sont variées et la plupart des théorèmes démontrés sont des classiques initialement obtenus entre la fin du xixe  et la seconde moitié du xxe  siècle.

We prove the existence of minimal and rigid singular holomorphic foliations by curves on the projective space $ℂ{\mathbb{P}}^n$ for every dimension $n\ge 2$ and every degree $d\ge 2$. Precisely, we construct a foliation $ℱ$ which is induced by a homogeneous vector field of degree $d$, has a finite singular set and all the regular leaves are dense in the whole of $ℂ{\mathbb{P}}^n$. Moreover, $ℱ$ satisfies many additional properties expected from chaotic dynamics and is rigid in the following sense: if $ℱ$ is conjugate to another holomorphic foliation...

We show that in normalized families of polynomial or rational maps, Misiurewicz maps (critically finite or infinite) unfold generically. For example, if $f_{{\lambda }_0}$ is critically finite with non-degenerate critical point $c_1\left({\lambda }_0\right),...,c_n\left({\lambda }_0\right)$ such that $f_{{\lambda }_0}^{k_i}\left(c_i\left({\lambda }_0\right)\right)=p_i\left({\lambda }_0\right)$ are hyperbolic periodic points for i = 1,...,n, then  IV-1.

We consider germs of one-parameter generic families of resonant analytic diffeomorphims and we give a complete modulus of analytic classification by means of the unfolding of the Écalle modulus. We describe the parametric resurgence phenomenon. We apply this to give a complete modulus of orbital analytic classification for the unfolding of a generic resonant saddle of a 2-dimensional vector field by means of the unfolding of its holonomy map. Here again the modulus is an unfolding of the Martinet-Ramis...

We give a complete topological classification of germs of holomorphic foliations in the plane under rather generic conditions. The key point is the introduction of a new topological invariant called monodromy representation. This monodromy contains all the relevant dynamical information, in particular the projective holonomy representations whose topological invariance was conjectured in the eighties by Cerveau and Sad and is proved here under mild hypotheses.

We consider the topological category of various subsets of the set of expanding maps from a manifold to itself, and show in particular that a generic $C^1$ expanding map of the circle has no absolutely continuous invariant probability measure. This is in contrast with the situation for $C^2$ or $C^{1+\epsilon }$ expanding maps, for which it is known that there is always a unique absolutely continuous invariant probability measure.

Let M be a d × d real contracting matrix. We consider the self-affine iterated function system Mv-u, Mv+u, where u is a cyclic vector. Our main result is as follows: if $\left|detM\right|\ge 2^{-1/d}$, then the attractor $A_M$ has non-empty interior. We also consider the set ${}_M$ of points in $A_M$ which have a unique address. We show that unless M belongs to a very special (non-generic) class, the Hausdorff dimension of ${}_M$ is positive. For this special class the full description of ${}_M$ is given as well. This paper continues our work begun...
