This paper reviews a paper from 1906 by J. Henri Poincar\'e on statistical mechanics with a background in his earlier work and notable connections to J. Willard Gibbs. Poincar\'e's paper presents important ideas that are still relevant for…
Recently O. Sarig has introduced and explored the concept of positively recurrent functions. In this paper we construct a natural wide class of such functions and we showthat they have stronger ergodic properties than the general functions…
This paper focuses on rotational phenomena of rigid body kinematics. It discusses them in a group-theoretic approach as completely as possible, using methods and notations as intuitive as possible. With a review of current literature, this…
A method for obtaining simple criteria for instabilities in kinetic theory is described and outlined, specifically for the relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell system. An important ingredient of the method is an analysis of a parametrized set of…
The almost sure convergence of ergodic averages in Birkhoff's pointwise ergodic theorem is known to fail in the finitely additive setting. We introduce a natural reformulation of almost sure convergence suitable for finitely additive…
We prove a new characterization of the Ramsey property of categories in terms of a generalized form of K\H{o}nig's tree lemma. Afterwards, we discuss its applications to structural Ramsey theory. In particular, we provide a new proof of the…
Hundred twenty years after the fundamental work of Poincar\'e, the statistics of Poincar\'e recurrences in Hamiltonian systems with a few degrees of freedom is studied by numerical simulations. The obtained results show that in a regime,…
We review some aspects of recurrence in topological dynamics and focus on two open problems. The first is an old one concerning the relation between Poincare and Birkhoff recurrence; the second, due to Boshernitzan, is about moving…
This article reviews a generous sampling of both classical and more recent results on the interplay between measurable and topological dynamics. In the first part we have surveyed the strong analogies between ergodic theory and topological…
We give an introductory overview of the classical Poincar\'e gauge theory of gravity formulated on the spacetime manifold that carries the Riemann-Cartan geometry with nontrivial curvature and torsion. After discussing the basic…
The transference theory for Lp spaces of Calderon, Coifman, and Weiss is a powerful tool with many applications to singular integrals, ergodic theory, and spectral theory of operators. Transference methods afford a unified approach to many…
We study an area preserving parabolic map which emerges from the Poincar\' e map of a billiard particle inside an elongated triangle. We provide numerical evidence that the motion is ergodic and mixing. Moreover, when considered on the…
We define a Gaussian invariant measure for the two-dimensional averaged-Euler equation and show the existence of its solution with initial conditions on the support of the measure. An invariant surface measure on the level sets of the…
For a differential equation with interaction, we investigate its ergodic properties. We apply the obtained results to study the limiting behavior of braid invariants associated with the flow of solutions.
A classical fact in ergodic theory is that ergodicity is equivalent to almost everywhere divergence of ergodic sums of all nonnegative integrable functions which are not identically zero. We show two methods, one in the measure preserving…
We describe a way of interpreting the chaotic principle of (ref. [GC1]) more extensively than it was meant in the original works. Mathematically the analysis is based on the dynamical notions of Axiom A and Axiom B and on the notion of…
The theory of ``Markov-up'' processes is being developed. This is a new class of stochastic processes with ``partial'' markovian features; it could also be called ``one-sided Markov''. Such a behavior may be found in the real world and in…
The theory of scarring of eigenfunctions of classically chaotic systems by short periodic orbits is extended in several ways. The influence of short-time linear recurrences on correlations and fluctuations at long times is emphasized. We…

We present a novel numerical method aimed to characterize global behaviour, in particular chaotic diffusion, in dynamical systems. It is based on an analysis of the Poincar\'e recurrence statistics on massive grids of initial data or values…
