We investigate the set of $x \in S^1$ such that for every positive integer $N$, the first $N$ points in the orbit of $x$ under rotation by irrational $\theta$ contain at least as many values in the interval $[0,1/2]$ as in the complement.…

We investigate the dimension of the set of points in the d-torus which have the property that their orbit under rotation by some alpha hits a fixed closed target A more often than expected for all finite initial portions. An upper bound for…

We show that for a transcendental entire function the set of points whose orbit under iteration is bounded can have arbitrarily small positive Hausdorff dimension.

Given a point and an expanding map on the unit interval, we consider the set of points for which the forward orbit under this map is bounded away from the given point. For maps like multiplication by an integer modulo 1, such sets have full…

The Hilbert manifold $\Sigma$ consisting of positive invertible (unitized) Hilbert-Schmidt operators has a rich structure and geometry. The geometry of unitary orbits $\Omega\subset \Sigma$ is studied from the topological and metric…

In this paper, we study multi-rotation orbits on the unit circle. We obtain a natural generalization of a classical result which says that orbits of irrational rotations on the unit circle are dense. It is possible to show that this result…

Let $\theta$ be an irrational number and $\varphi: {\mathbb N} \to {\mathbb R}^{+}$ be a monotone decreasing function tending to zero. Let $$E_\varphi(\theta) =\Big\{y \in \mathbb R: \|n\theta- y\|<\varphi(n), \ {\text{for infinitely…

We construct, for each irrational number $\alpha$, a minimal $C^1$-diffeomorphism of the circle with rotation number $\alpha$ which admits a measur

We deal with Besicovitch's problem of existence of discrete orbits for transitive cylindrical transformations $T_\varphi:(x,t)\mapsto(x+\alpha,t+\varphi(x))$ where $Tx=x+\alpha$ is an irrational rotation on the circle $\T$ and…

In this paper we consider the times-q map on the unit interval as a subshift of finite type by identifying each number with its base q expansion, and we study certain non-dense orbits of this system where no element of the orbit is smaller…

We estimate harmonic scalings in the parameter space of a one-parameter family of critical circle maps. These estimates lead to the conclusion that the Hausdorff dimension of the complement of the frequency-locking set is less than $1$ but…

The first result of the paper (Theorem 1.1) is an explicit construction of unimodal maps that are semiconjugate, on the post-critical set, to the circle rotation by an arbitrary irrational angle $\theta\in(3/5,2/3)$. Our construction is a…

It is known that the infimum of the sectional curvatures (on the regular part) of orbit spaces of isometric actions on unit spheres in bounded above by $4$. We show that the infimum is $1$ for "most" actions, and determine the cases in…

We study the set of irregular points for topologically mixing subshifts of finite type. It is well known that despite the irregular set having zero measure for every invariant measure, it has full topological entropy and full Hausdorff…

We completely describe in terms of Hausdorff measures the size of the set of points of the circle that are covered infinitely often by a sequence of random arcs with given lengths. We also show that this set is a set with large…

We consider the distribution of the orbits of the number 1 under the $\beta$-transformations $T_\beta$ as $\beta$ varies. Mainly, the size of the set of $\beta>1$ for which a given point can be well approximated by the orbit of 1 is…

Let $0<\lambda<1$. We consider the one-parameter family of circle $\lambda$-affine contractions $f_\delta:x \in [0,1) \mapsto \lambda x + \delta \; {\rm mod}\,1 $, where $0 \le \delta <1$. Let $\rho$ be the rotation number of the map…

Let $X = G/\Gamma$, where $G$ is a Lie group and $\Gamma$ is a lattice in $G$, and let $U$ be a subset of $X$ whose complement is compact. We use the exponential mixing results for diagonalizable flows on $X$ to give upper estimates for the…

Let $f$ be a homeomorphism of the closed annulus $A$ isotopic to the identity, and let $X\subset {\rm Int}A$ be an $f$-invariant continuum which separates $A$ into two domains, the upper domain $U_+$ and the lower domain $U_-$. Fixing a…
