We consider piecewise monotone maps, we show that an ergodic measure for which the map is invertible almost everywhere can not be mixing. It follows that every ergodic measure for an interval translation mapping is not mixing. We also show…
In these lecture notes, we provide an introduction to the theory of mixing for incompressible flows from a PDE perspective. We discuss both the Lagrangian (ODE) and Eulerian (PDE, continuity equation) viewpoints, and introduce suitable…
We study two properties of nonsingular and infinite measure-preserving ergodic systems: weak double ergodicity, and ergodicity with isometric coefficients. We show that there exist infinite measure-preserving transformations that are…
A major topic of (classical) ergodic theory is to examine qualitatively how the phase space of dynamical systems is penetrated by the orbits of their dynamics. We consider interacting qubit systems with dynamics according to 4-local…
In this paper we study ergodic theory of countable Markov shifts. These are dynamical systems defined over non-compact spaces. Our main result relates the escape of mass, the measure theoretic entropy, and the entropy at infinity of the…
Mixture models are one of the most widely used statistical tools when dealing with data from heterogeneous populations. This paper considers the long-standing debate over finite mixture and infinite mixtures and brings the two modelling…
It is well known that ergodic theory can be used to formally prove a weak form of relaxation to equilibrium for finite, mixing, Hamiltonian systems. In this Letter we extend this proof to any dynamics that preserves a mixing equilibrium…
We construct an ensemble distribution to describe steady immiscible two-phase flow of two incompressible fluids in a porous medium. The system is found to be ergodic. The distribution is used to compute macroscopic flow parameters. In…
Random metastability occurs when an externally forced or noisy system possesses more than one state of apparent equilibrium. This work investigates a class of random dynamical systems, arising from perturbing a one-dimensional piecewise…
The mechanism of irreversible dynamics in the systems with mixing is analyzed. The procedure of splitting of system on equilibrium subsystems and studying of dynamics of one of them under condition of its interaction with other subsystems…
The stability against perturbations of a dynamical system conserving a generalized phase-space volume is studied by exploiting the similarity between statistical physics formalism and that of ergodic theory. A general continuity theorem is…
In the context of 'infinite-volume mixing' we prove global-local mixing for the Boole map, a.k.a. Boole transformation, which is the prototype of a non-uniformly expanding map with two neutral fixed points. Global-local mixing amounts to…
We present abstract conditions under which a special flow over a probability preserving map with a non-integrable roof function is Krickeberg mixing. Our main condition is some version of the local central limit theorem for the underlying…
This paper studies homothetic and more general weighted averages for flows. Absolutely continuous convolutions of singular weights are considered, thereby strengthening Kozlov-Treshchev's result on nonuniform averages for ergodic flows. The…
A partial differential equation governing the global evolution of the joint probability distribution of an arbitrary number of local flow observations, drawn randomly from a control volume, is derived and applied to examples involving…
The vorticity of a two-dimensional perfect (incompressible and inviscid) fluid is transported by its area preserving flow. Given an initial vorticity distribution $\omega_0$, predicting the long time behavior which can persist is an issue…
Mixing by incompressible flows is a ubiquitous yet incompletely understood phenomenon in fluid dynamics. While previous studies have focused on optimal mixing rates, the question of its genericity, i.e., whether mixing occurs for typical…
The title refers to the area of research which studies infinite groups using measure-theoretic tools, and studies the restrictions that group structure imposes on ergodic theory of their actions. The paper is a survey of recent developments…
The notion of $\Delta$-weakly mixing set is introduced, which shares similar properties of weakly mixing sets. It is shown that if a dynamical system has positive topological entropy, then the collection of $\Delta$-weakly mixing sets is…
We investigate quantitative recurrence in systems having an infinite measure. We extend the Ornstein-Weiss theorem for a general class of infinite systems estimating return time in decreasing sequences of cylinders. Then we restrict to a…
