We consider suspension flows over uniquely ergodic skew-translations on a $d$-dimensional torus $\mathbb{T}^d$, for $d \geq 2$. We prove that there exists a set $\mathscr{R}$ of smooth functions, which is dense in the space…

We consider completely irrational nilflows on any nilmanifold of step at least $2$. We show that there exists a dense set of smooth time-changes such that any time-change in this class which is not measurably trivial gives rise to a mixing…

We consider the three dimensional Heisenberg nilflows. Under a full measure set Diophantine condition on the generator of the flow we construct Bufetov functionals which are asymptotic to ergodic integrals for sufficiently smooth functions,…

We study time changes of bounded type Heisenberg nilflows $(\phi_t)$ acting on the Heisenberg nilmanifold $M$. We show that for every positive $\tau\in W^s(M)$, $s~>~7/2$, every non-trivial time change $(\phi_t^{\tau})$ enjoys the Ratner…

We develop operator renewal theory for flows and apply this to infinite ergodic theory. In particular we obtain results on mixing for a large class of infinite measure semiflows. Examples of systems covered by our results include…

We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for suspension flows over certain families of shift spaces to be topologically mixing. We also show the similarities and differences between this case and the smooth measure theoretic setting…

We study ergodic theoretical properties of flows on circle bundles over translation surfaces that arise via prequantization, generalizing the theory of Heisenberg nilflows to base surfaces more general than tori; these flows are among the…

We consider suspension flows built over interval exchange transformations with the help of roof functions having an asymmetric logarithmic singularity. We prove that such flows are strongly mixing for a full measure set of interval exchange…

We obtain Krickeberg mixing for a class of Z extensions of Gibbs Markov semiflows with roof function and displacement function not in L2, where previous methods have not been employed. This is done via a 'smooth tail' estimate for the…

Mixing-via-shearing is a powerful and versatile method for establishing mixing properties of smooth parabolic flows. In its quantitative form, it provides upper bounds on the decay of correlations for sufficiently smooth observables.…

Arnol'd and Kochergin mixing conservative flows on surfaces stand as the main and almost only natural class of mixing transformations for which higher order mixing has not been established, nor disproved. Under suitable arithmetic…

We obtain results on mixing for a large class of (not necessarily Markov) infinite measure semiflows and flows. Erickson proved, amongst other things, a strong renewal theorem in the corresponding i.i.d. setting. Using operator renewal…

We prove that the continuous-time, single-flip Glauber dynamics for lozenge tilings of the size-$N$ hexagon mix in time $N^{2+o(1)}$. This was predicted to hold on fairly general domains of diameter $N$ (on the basis of the ``Lifshitz law''…

Eagleson's Theorem asserts that, given a probability-preserving map, ifrenormalized Birkhoff sums of a function converge in distribution, thenthey also converge with respect to any probability measure which isabsolutely continuous with…

In this article, we give explicit conditions for compact group extensions of hyperbolic flows (including geodesic flows on negatively curved manifolds) to exhibit quantifiable rates of mixing (or decay of correlations) with respect to the…

Often topological classes of one-dimensional dynamical systems are finite codimension smooth manifolds. We describe a method to prove this sort of statement that we believe can be applied in many settings. In this work we will implement it…

We construct multiperiodic processes -- a simple example of stationary ergodic (but not mixing) processes over natural numbers that enjoy the vanishing entropy rate under a mild condition. Multiperiodic processes are supported on randomly…

For a surface semiflow that is a suspension of a \( C^{1+\alpha} \) expanding Markov interval map, we prove that, under the assumptions that the roof function is Lipschitz continuous and not cohomologous to a locally constant function, the…

The Birkhoff Ergodic Theorem asserts under mild conditions that Birkhoff averages (i.e. time averages computed along a trajectory) converge to the space average. For sufficiently smooth systems, our small modification of numerical Birkhoff…

We give a condition on a piecewise constant roof function and an irrational rotation by $\alpha$ on the circle to give rise to a special flow having the mild mixing property. Such flows will also satisfy Ratner's property. As a consequence…
