Abstract:

The study of the dynamical and topological properties of interval exchange transformations and their natural generalizations is an important problem, which lies at the intersection of several branches of mathematics, including dynamical systems, low-dimensional topology, algebraic geometry, number theory, and geometric group theory. The purpose of the survey is to make a systematic presentation of the existing results on the ergodic and geometric characteristics of the one-dimensional maps under consideration, as well as on the measured foliations on surfaces and two-dimensional complexes that one can associate with these maps. These results are based on the research of the ergodic properties of the renormalization process - an algorithm that takes an original dynamical system and builds a sequence of equivalent dynamical systems with a smaller support set. For all dynamical systems considered in the paper these renormalization algorithms can be viewed as multidimensional fraction algorithms. Bibiliography: 74 titles.

Abstract:

We study the Furstenberg-entropy realization problem for stationary actions. It is shown that for finitely supported probability measures on free groups, any a priori possible entropy value can be realized as the entropy of an ergodic stationary action. This generalizes results of Bowen. The stationary actions we construct arise via invariant random subgroups (IRSs), based on ideas of Bowen and Kaimanovich. We provide a general framework for constructing a continuum of ergodic IRSs for a discrete group under some algebraic conditions, which gives a continuum of entropy values. Our tools apply, for example, for certain extensions of the group of finitely supported permutations and lamplighter groups, hence establishing full realization results for these groups. For the free group, we construct the IRSs via a geometric construction of subgroups, by describing their Schreier graphs. The analysis of the entropy of these spaces is obtained by studying the random walk on the appropriate Schreier graphs.

AbstractWe prove the following dichotomy for vector fields in a $C^1$-residual subset of volume-preserving flows: for Lebesgue-almost every point, either all of its Lyapunov exponents are equal to zero or its orbit has a dominated splitting.

Abstract:

We establish pointwise ergodic theorems for a large class of natural averages on simple Lie groups of real rank one, going well beyond the radial case considered previously. The proof is based on a new approach to pointwise ergodic theorems, which is independent of spectral theory. Instead, the main new ingredient is the use of direct geometric arguments in hyperbolic space.

Abstract:

AbstractGiven a connected Lie group G acting ergodically on a space S with finite invariant measure, one can ask when G will contain single elements (or one-parameter subgroups) that still act ergodically. For a compact simple group or the isometry group of the plane, or any group projecting onto such groups, an ergodic action may have no ergodic elements, but for any other connected Lie group ergodic elements will exist. The proof uses the unitary representation theory of Lie groups and Lie group structure theory.

AbstractA distortion theory is developed for S-unimodal maps. It will be used to get some geometric understanding of invariant Cantor sets. In particular attracting Cantor sets turn out to have Lebesgue measure zero.

AbstractConsider M, a bounded domain in ℝd, which is a Riemanian manifold with piecewise smooth boundary and suppose that the billiard associated to the geodesic flow reflecting on the boundary according to the laws of geometric optics is ergodic.

Abstract:

We consider interval exchange transformations of$n$intervals with$k$flips, or$(n,k)$-IETs for short, for positive integers$k,n$with$k\leq n$. Our main result establishes the existence of minimal uniquely ergodic$(n,k)$-IETs when$n\geq 4$; moreover, these IETs are self-induced for$2\leq k\leq n-1$. This result extends the work on transitivity in Gutierrezet al[Transitive circle exchange transformations with flips.Discrete Contin. Dyn. Syst. 26(1) (2010), 251–263]. In order to achieve our objective we make a direct construction; in particular, we use the Rauzy induction to build a periodic Rauzy graph whose associated matrix has a positive power. Then we use a result in the Perron–Frobenius theory [Pullman, A geometric approach to the theory of non-negative matrices.Linear Algebra Appl. 4(1971) 297–312] which allows us to ensure the existence of these minimal self-induced and uniquely ergodic$(n,k)$-IETs,$2\leq k\leq n-1$. We then find other permutations in the same Rauzy class generating minimal uniquely ergodic$(n,1)$- and$(n,n)$-IETs.

Abstract:

A method of parabola error evaluation using Geometry Ergodic Searching Algorithm (GESA) was proposed according to geometric features and fitting characteristics of parabola error. First , the feature points of least-squared parabola are set as reference feature points to layout a group of auxiliary feature grid points. After that, a series of auxiliary parabolas as assumed ideal parabolas are reversed with the auxiliary feature points.The range distance from given points to these assumptions ideal parabolas are calculated successively.The minimum one is parabola profile error.The process of GESA was detailed discribed including the algorithm formula and contrastive results in this paper.Simulation experiment results show that the geometry ergodic searching algorithm is more accurate than the least-square method. The parabola profile error can be evaluated steadily and precisely with this algorithm based on the minimum zone.

Abstract:

In this survey, we present some methods in the dynamics and dimension theory for invariant measures of hyperbolic endomorphisms (smooth non-invertible maps), and for conformal iterated function systems with overlaps. For endomorphisms, we recall the notion of asymptotic degree of an equilibrium measure, which is shown to be related to the folding entropy; this degree is then applied to dimension estimates. For finite iterated function systems, we present the notion of overlap number of a measure, which is related to the folding entropy of a lift transformation, and also give some examples when it can be computed or estimated. We apply overlap numbers to prove the exact dimensionality of invariant measures, and to obtain a geometric formula for their dimension. Then, for countable conformal iterated function systems with overlaps, the projections of ergodic measures are shown to be exact dimensional, and we give a dimension formula. Relations with ergodic number theory, continued fractions, and random dynamical systems are also presented.

AbstractWe prove pointwise and maximal ergodic theorems for probability-measure-preserving (PMP) actions of any countable group, provided it admits an essentially free, weakly mixing amenable action of stable typeIII$_1$. We show that this class contains all irreducible lattices in connected semi-simple Lie groups without compact factors. We also establish similar results when the stable type isIII$_\lambda $,$0 \lt \lambda \lt 1$, under a suitable hypothesis. Our approach is based on the following two principles. First, we show that it is possible to generalize the ergodic theory of PMP actions of amenable groups to include PMP amenable equivalence relations. Secondly, we show that it is possible to reduce the proof of ergodic theorems for PMP actions of a general group to the proof of ergodic theorems in an associated PMP amenable equivalence relation, provided the group admits an amenable action with the properties stated above.

Recently Houdayer and Isono have proved, among other things, that every biexact group $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4}$ has the property that for any non-singular strongly ergodic essentially free action $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4}\curvearrowright (X,\unicode[STIX]{x1D707})$ on a standard measure space, the group measure space von Neumann algebra $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4}\ltimes L^{\infty }(X)$ is full. In this paper, we prove the same property for a wider class of groups, notably including $\text{SL}(3,\mathbb{Z})$. We also prove that for any connected simple Lie group $G$ with finite center, any lattice $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4}\leqslant G$, and any closed non-amenable subgroup $H\leqslant G$, the non-singular action $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4}\curvearrowright G/H$ is strongly ergodic and the von Neumann factor $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4}\ltimes L^{\infty }(G/H)$ is full.

Abstract:

This article generalizes our previous results [Le Maître. The number of topological generators for full groups of ergodic equivalence relations. Invent. Math. 198 (2014), 261–268] to the non-ergodic case by giving a formula relating the topological rank of the full group of an aperiodic probability-measure-preserving (pmp) equivalence relation to the cost of its ergodic components. Furthermore, we obtain examples of full groups that have a dense free subgroup whose rank is equal to the topological rank of the full group, using a Baire category argument. We then study the automatic continuity property for full groups of aperiodic equivalence relations, and find a connected metric for which they have the automatic continuity property. This allows us to provide an algebraic characterization of aperiodicity for pmp equivalence relations, namely the non-existence of homomorphisms from their full groups into totally disconnected separable groups. A simple proof of the extreme amenability of full groups of hyperfinite pmp equivalence relations is also given, generalizing a result of Giordano and Pestov to the non-ergodic case [Giordano and Pestov. Some extremely amenable groups related to operator algebras and ergodic theory. J. Inst. Math. Jussieu6(2) (2007), 279–315, Theorem 5.7].

Abstract:

String theory has emerged as the leading candidate for a unified field theory of all known forces. However, it is impossible to trust the various phenomenological predictions of superstring theory based on classical solutions alone. It appears that the crucial problem of the theory, breaking ten dimensional space-time down to four dimensions, must be solved nonperturbatively before we can extract reliable predictions. String field theory may be the only formalism in which we can resolve this decisive question. Only a rigorous calculation of the true vacuum of the theory will determine which of the many classical solutions the theory actually predicts. In this review article, we summarize the rapid progress in constructing string field theory actions, such as the development of the covariant BRST theory. We also present the newer geometric formulation of string field theory, from which the BRST theory and the older light cone theory can be derived from first principles. This geometric formulation allows us to derive the complete field theory of strings from two geometric principles, in the same way that general relativity and Yang-Mills theory can be derived from two principles based on global and local symmetry. The geometric formalism therefore reduces string field theory to a problem of finding an invariant under a new local gauge group we call the universal string group (USG). Thus, string field theory is the gauge theory of the universal string group in much the same way that Yang-Mills theory is the gauge theory of SU (N). Thus, the geometric formulation places superstring theory on the same rigorous group theoretical level as general relativity and gauge theory.

Full text

Abstract:

Entropy is re-examined as a quantification of ignorance in the predictability of a one dimensional continuous phenomenon. Although traditional estimators for entropy have been widely utilized in this context, we show that both the thermodynamic and Shannon’s theory of entropy are fundamentally discrete, and that the limiting process used to define differential entropy suffers from similar problems to those encountered in thermodynamics. In contrast, we consider a sampled data set to be observations of microstates (unmeasurable in thermodynamics and nonexistent in Shannon’s discrete theory), meaning, in this context, it is the macrostates of the underlying phenomenon that are unknown. To obtain a particular coarse-grained model we define macrostates using quantiles of the sample and define an ignorance density distribution based on the distances between quantiles. The geometric partition entropy is then just the Shannon entropy of this finite distribution. Our measure is more consistent and informative than histogram-binning, especially when applied to complex distributions and those with extreme outliers or under limited sampling. Its computational efficiency and avoidance of negative values can also make it preferable to geometric estimators such as k-nearest neighbors. We suggest applications that are unique to this estimator and illustrate its general utility through an application to time series in the approximation of an ergodic symbolic dynamics from limited observations.

Abstract:

We define the concepts of homotopy and fundamental group for geometric spaces as a generalization of metric spaces, digital spaces, and graphs; then, we compare them with corresponding concepts in these spaces. Also, we state some properties of the fundamental group of geometric spaces and some theorems to calculate them.

Abstract:

AbstractWe investigate the spectral theory of integrable actions of a locally compact abelian group on a locally convex vector space. We start with an analysis of various spectral subspaces induced by the action of the group. This is applied to analyse the spectral theory of operators on the space, generated by measures on the group. We apply these results to derive general Tauberian theorems that apply to arbitrary locally compact abelian groups acting on a large class of locally convex vector spaces, which includes Fréchet spaces. We show how these theorems simplify the derivation of Mean Ergodic theorems.

Abstract:

Davenport's theorem was established nearly a lifetime ago, but there have been some very interesting recent developments. The various proofs over the years bring in different ideas from number theory, probability theory, analysis and group theory. In this short survey, we shall not present complete proofs, but will describe instead some of these underlying ideas.

Abstract:

We provide a generalization of the approach to geometric probability advanced by the great mathematician Gian Carlo Rota, in order to apply it to generalized probabilistic physical theories. In particular, we use this generalization to provide an improvement of the Jaynes’ MaxEnt method. The improvement consists in providing a framework for the introduction of symmetry constraints. This allows us to include group theory within MaxEnt. Some examples are provided.

Abstract:

AbstractThis paper contains results on the geometric and ergodic properties of a class of strange attractors introduced by Wang and Young [Towards a theory of rank one attractors. Ann. of Math. (2) 167 (2008), 349–480]. These attractors can live in phase spaces of any dimension, and have been shown to arise naturally in differential equations that model several commonly occurring phenomena. Dynamically, such systems are chaotic; they have controlled non-uniform hyperbolicity with exactly one unstable direction, hence the name rank-one. In this paper we prove theorems on their Lyapunov exponents, Sinai–Ruelle–Bowen (SRB) measures, basins of attraction, and statistics of time series, including central limit theorems, exponential correlation decay and large deviations. We also present results on their global geometric and combinatorial structures, symbolic coding and periodic points. In short, we build a dynamical profile for this class of dynamical systems, proving that these systems exhibit many of the characteristics normally associated with ‘strange attractors’.

Abstract:

A new model for elastic constraint wheelset system of rail vehicle is proposed. Assuming the stochastic excitation as Gauss white noise, a stochastic model is built for elastic constraint wheelset system. Here two kinds of stochastic excitations are considered: one is the internal multiplicative excitation inherited in the internal system such as the spring and wheelset/rail contact geometric relationship, the other is the external excitation induced by track random irregularities. The model defined here is considered as a weak damping, weak excitation quasi non-integrable Hamiltonian system. The maximal Lyapunov exponent is calculated by quasi non-integrable Hamiltonian theory and oseledec multiplicative ergodic theory, and the stochastic local stability conditions are obtained. Meanwhile, the stochastic global stability conditions are derived by considering the modality of the singular boundary condition.

Recalling that randomly perforated domains are typically not John and hence extension is possible only from $ W^{1, p} $ to $ W^{1, r} $, $ r &lt; p $, we will show that the existence of such extension operators can be guaranteed if the weighted expectations of four geometric characterizing parameters are bounded: The local Lipschitz constant $ M $, the local inverse Lipschitz radius $ \delta^{-1} $ resp. $ \rho^{-1} $, the mesoscopic Voronoi diameter $ {\mathfrak{d}} $ and the local connectivity radius $ {\mathscr{R}} $.</p></abstract>

Abstract:

This Review concerns recent results on the quantitative study of convergence toward the stationary state for spatially inhomogeneous kinetic equations. We focus on analytical results obtained by means of certain probabilistic techniques from the ergodic theory of Markov processes. These techniques are sometimes referred to as Harris-type theorems. They provide constructive proofs for convergence results in the L1 (or total variation) setting for a large class of initial data. The convergence rates can be made explicit (for both geometric and sub-geometric rates) by tracking the constants appearing in the hypotheses. Harris-type theorems are particularly well-adapted for equations exhibiting non-explicit and non-equilibrium steady states since they do not require prior information on the existence of stationary states. This allows for significant improvements of some already-existing results by relaxing assumptions and providing explicit convergence rates. We aim to present Harris-type theorems, providing a guideline on how to apply these techniques to kinetic equations at hand. We discuss recent quantitative results obtained for kinetic equations in gas theory and mathematical biology, giving some perspectives on potential extensions to nonlinear equations.

Abstract:

We give several new positive finite presentations for the pure braid group that are easy to remember and simple in form. All of our presentations involve a metric on the punctured disc so that the punctures are arranged "convexly", which is why we describe them as geometric presentations. Motivated by a presentation for the full braid group that we call the "rotation presentation", we introduce presentations for the pure braid group that we call the "twist presentation" and the "swing presentation". From the point of view of mapping class groups, the swing presentation can be interpreted as stating that the pure braid group is generated by a finite number of Dehn twists and that the only relations needed are the disjointness relation and the lantern relation.

Abstract:

By studying the previously known holographic [Formula: see text] supersymmetric renormalization group flow (Gowdigere–Warner) in four dimensions, we find the mass deformed Chern–Simons matter theory which has [Formula: see text] supersymmetry by adding the four mass terms among eight adjoint fields. The geometric superpotential from the 11 dimensions is found and provides the M2-brane probe analysis. As second example, we consider known holographic [Formula: see text] supersymmetric renormalization group flow (Pope–Warner) in four dimensions. The eight mass terms are added and similar geometric superpotential is obtained.
