We study the semi-discrete approximation of Aubry and Mather sets for Tonelli Lagrangians on the flat torus. Starting from the discrete Lax--Oleinik equation, we introduce natural discrete analogues of these sets and analyze their…
We prove that for a generic Tonelli Lagrangian on a configuration space of dimension two, there exists an open dense subset of cohomology classes, whose Aubry set consists of exactly one hyperbolic periodic orbit.
We review the author's results on Mather's $\beta$ function : non-strict convexity of $\beta$ when the configuration space has dimension two, link between the size of the Aubry set and the differentiability of $\beta$, correlation between…
By exploiting the contact Hamiltonian dynamics $(T^*M\times\mathbb R,\Phi_t)$ around the Aubry set of contact Hamiltonian systems, we provide a relation among the Mather set, the $\Phi_t$-recurrent set, the strongly static set, the Aubry…
We check that several properties of the Aubry set, first proven for finite-dimensional Lagrangians by Mather and Fathi, continue to hold in the case of the infinitely many interacting particles of the Vlasov equation on the circle.
In this paper we show that the quotient Aubry set associated to certain Lagrangians is totally disconnected (i.e., every connected component consists of a single point). Moreover, we discuss the relation between this problem and a…
We show that the Aubry sets, the Ma\~{n}\'{e} sets, Mather's barrier functions are the same for two commuting autonomous Tonelli Hamiltonians. We also show the quasi-linearity of $\alpha$-functions from the dynamical point of view and the…
We consider Lagrangian submanifolds lying on a fiberwise strictly convex hypersurface in some cotangent bundle or, respectively, in the domain bounded by such a hypersurface. We establish a new boundary rigidity phenomenon, saying that…
We study Lagrangian systems on a closed manifold. We link the differentiability of Mather's beta-function with the topological complexity of the complement of the Aubry set. As a consequence, when the dimension of the manifold is less than…
We establish a connection between the Aubry-Mather theory of invariant sets of a 1D dynamical system described by a Lagrangian with potential periodic in space and time, on the one hand, and idempotent spectral theory of the Bellman…
If we perturb a completely integrable Hamiltonian system with two degrees of freedom, the perturbed flow might display, on every energy level, invariant sets that are laminations over Aubry-Mather sets of a Poincar\'e section of the flow.…
We show that the Aubry sets, the Ma\~{n}\'{e} sets and Mather's barrier functions are the same for two commuting time-periodic Tonelli Hamiltonians.
Let $(M,g)$ be a closed Riemannian manifold and $L:TM\rightarrow \mathbb R$ be a Tonelli Lagrangian. In this thesis we study the existence of orbits of the Euler-Lagrange flow associated with $L$ satisfying suitable boundary conditions. We…
We prove exponential convergence to time-periodic states of the solutions of time-periodic Hamilton-Jacobi equations on the torus, assuming that the Aubry set is the union of a finite number of hyperbolic periodic orbits of the the Euler…
In the context of Mather's theory of Lagrangian systems, we study the decomposition in chain-transitive classes of the Mather invariant sets. As an application, we prove, under appropriate hypotheses, the semi-continuity of the so-called…
We take the first steps towards a better understanding of continuous orbit equivalence, i.e., topological orbit equivalence with continuous cocycles. First, we characterise continuous orbit equivalence in terms of isomorphisms of C*-crossed…
A Lagrangian system with two degrees of freedom is considered. The configuration space of the system is a cylinder. A large class of periodic solutions has been found. The solutions are not homotopy equivalent to each other.
We prove that the so-called Aubry and Mane sets introduced by John Mather in Lagrangian dynamics are symplectic invariants. In order to do so, we introduce a barrier in phase space, and propose definitions of Aubry and Mane sets for…
We consider the model of a point-vortex under a periodic perturbation and give sufficient conditions for the existence of generalized quasi-periodic solutions with rotation number. The proof uses Aubry-Mather theory to obtain the existence…
We completely solve ergodic optimization of a full shift with an uncountable alphabet $[0,1]$, which is one of the most well-known examples of infinite dimensional dynamical systems with positive mean dimension (and thus with infinite…
