We study a two-parameter family of one-dimensional maps and related (a,b)-continued fractions suggested for consideration by Don Zagier. We prove that the associated natural extension maps have attractors with finite rectangular structure…
We adjust Arnoux's coding, in terms of regular continued fractions, of the geodesic flow on the modular surface to give a cross section on which the return map is a double cover of the natural extension for the \alpha-continued fractions,…
We study the topological entropy of a two-parameter family of maps related to (a,b)-continued fraction algorithms and prove that it is constant on a square within the parameter space (two vertices of this square correspond to well-studied…
We introduce a family of maps generating continued fractions where the digit $1$ in the numerator is replaced cyclically by some given non-negative integers $(N_1,\ldots,N_m)$. We prove the convergence of the given algorithm, and study the…
We establish arithmetical properties and provide essential bounds for bi-sequences of approximation coefficients associated with the natural extension of maps, leading to continued fraction-like expansions. These maps are realized as the…
We extend the Series' connection between the modular surface $\mathcal{M}=\operatorname{PSL}(2,\mathbb{Z})\backslash\mathbb{H}$, cutting sequences, and regular continued fractions to the slow converging Lehner and Farey continued fractions…
For the family of Double Standard Maps $f_{a,b}=2x+a+\frac{b}{\pi} \sin2\pi x \quad\pmod{1}$ we investigate the structure of the space of parameters $a$ when $b=1$ and when $b\in[0,1)$. In the first case the maps have a critical point, but…
As a natural counterpart to Nakada's $\alpha$-continued fraction maps, we study a one-parameter family of continued fraction transformations with an indifferent fixed point. We prove that matching holds for Lebesgue almost every parameter…
Caroline Series' [{\em The modular surface and continued fractions}, J. Lond. Math. Soc. (2), {\bf 31}, no.~1, (1985), 69--80] gives a clear framework linking, in a deceptively simple way, the dynamics of the geodesic flow on the modular…
We give a heuristic method to solve explicitly for an absolutely continuous invariant measure for a piecewise differentiable, expanding map of a compact subset $I$ of Euclidean space $R^d$. The method consists of constructing a skew product…
In this paper we consider continued fraction (CF) expansions on intervals different from $[0,1]$. For every $x$ in such interval we find a CF expansion with a finite number of possible digits. Using the natural extension, the density of the…
Bernoulli convolutions form a one-parameter family of self-similar measures on the unit interval. We suggest to study their two-dimensional density which has an intricate combinatorial structure. Visualizing this structure we discuss…
The aim of this paper is to transfer the Gauss map, which is a Bernoulli shift for continued fractions, to the noncommutative setting. We feel that a natural place for such a map to act is on the AF algebra $\mathfrak{A}$ considered…
We show how to turn the question of the absolute continuity of Bernoulli convolutions into one of counting the growth of the number of overlaps in the system. When the contraction parameter is a hyperbolic algebraic integer, we turn this…
In this paper we calculate the metric and folding entropies for a family of non-invertible symbolic dynamical systems $(\Sigma_{m_-,m_+}, \sigma_\phi)$ which generalizes the standard bilateral Bernoulli shifts. The space $\Sigma_{m_-,m_+}$…
Let S be a nonexceptional oriented surface of finite type. We construct an uncountable family of probability measures on the space of area on holomorphic quadratic differentials over the moduli space for S containing the usual Lebesgue…
We study the dynamics of a family of continued fraction maps parametrized by the unit interval. This family contains as special instances the Gauss continued fraction map and the Fibonacci map. We determine the transfer operators of these…
We describe arithmetic cross-sections for geodesic flow on compact surfaces of constant negative curvature using generalized Bowen-Series boundary maps and their natural extensions associated to cocompact torsion-free Fuchsian groups. If…
We extend the Besicovitch-Federer projection theorem to transversal families of mappings. As an application we show that on a certain class of Riemann surfaces with constant negative curvature and with boundary, there exist natural…
