Entropy and complexity of a path in sub-riemannian geometry

Frédéric Jean (2003)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We characterize the geometry of a path in a sub-riemannian manifold using two metric invariants, the entropy and the complexity. The entropy of a subset A of a metric space is the minimum number of balls of a given radius ε needed to cover A . It allows one to compute the Hausdorff dimension in some cases and to bound it from above in general. We define the complexity of a path in a sub-riemannian manifold as the infimum of the lengths of all trajectories contained in an ε -neighborhood of the path,...

Entropy of eigenfunctions of the Laplacian in dimension 2

Gabriel Rivière (2010)

Journées Équations aux dérivées partielles

We study asymptotic properties of eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on compact Riemannian surfaces of Anosov type (for instance negatively curved surfaces). More precisely, we give an answer to a question of Anantharaman and Nonnenmacher [4] by proving that the Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy of a semiclassical measure μ for the geodesic flow g t is bounded from below by half of the Ruelle upper bound.

Enveloppe galoisienne d'une application rationnelle de P1.

Guy Casale (2006)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

In 2001, B. Malgrange defines the D-envelope or galoisian envelope of an analytical dynamical system. Roughly speaking, this is the algebraic hull of the dynamical system. In this short article, the D-envelope of a rational map R: P1 --> P1 is computed. The rational maps characterised by a finitness property of their D-envelope appear to be the integrable ones.
