Ergodic properties of rational maps are studied, generalising the work of F.\ Ledrappier. A new construction allows for simpler proofs of stronger results. Very general conformal measures are considered. Equivalent conditions are given for…
We consider two-sided Jacobi matrices whose coefficients are obtained by continuous sampling along the orbits of a homeomorphim of a compact metric space. Given an ergodic probability measure, we study the topological structure of the…
We obtain bounds for the spectrum and for the total width of the spectral gaps for Jacobi matrices on $\ell^2(\Z)$ of the form $(H\psi)_n= a_{n-1}\psi_{n-1}+b_n\psi_n+a_n\psi_{n+1}$, where $a_n=a_{n+q}$ and $b_n=b_{n+q}$ are periodic…
Consider a $1$-dimensional centered Gaussian process $W$ with $\alpha$-H\"older continuous paths on the compact intervals of $\mathbb R_+$ ($\alpha\in ]0,1[$) and $W_0 = 0$, and $X$ the local solution in rough paths sense of Jacobi's…
Persymmetric Jacobi matrices are invariant under reflection with respect to the anti-diagonal. The associated orthogonal polynomials have distinctive properties that are discussed. They are found in particular to be also orthogonal on the…
Geometrization of dynamics using (non)-affine parametization of arc length with time is investigated. The two archetypes of such parametrizations, the Eisenhart and the Jacobi metrics, are applied to a system of linear harmonic oscillators.…
We introduce a function of the density of states for periodic Jacobi matrices on trees and prove a useful formula for it. This allows new, streamlined proofs of the gap labeling and Aomoto index theorems. We prove a version of this new…
An explicit expression for the Jacobi metric for a general Lagrangian system is obtained as a series expansion in the square root of the kinetic energy of the system and the corresponding geodesics are described in terms of an appropriate…
We continue studying the connection between Jacobi matrices defined on a tree and multiple orthogonal polynomials (MOPs) that was discovered previously by the authors. In this paper, we consider Angelesco systems formed by two analytic…
We prove that almost every non-regular real quadratic map is Collet-Eckmann and has polynomial recurrence of the critical orbit (proving a conjecture by Sinai). It follows that typical quadratic maps have excellent ergodic properties, as…
Ergodic parameters like the Lyapunov and the conditional exponents are global functions of the invariant measure, but the invariant measure itself contains more information. A more complete characterization of the dynamics by new families…
In this paper, we study complex Jacobi matrices obtained by the Christoffel and Geronimus transformations at a nonreal complex number, including the properties of the corresponding sequences of orthogonal polynomials. We also present some…
We study several related aspects of reflectionless Jacobi matrices. Our first set of results deals with the singular part of reflectionless measures. We then introduce and discuss Lyapunov exponents, density of states measures, and other…
A weak-coupling scaling diagram for the Lyapunov exponent and the integrated density of states near a band edge of a random Jacobi matrix is obtained. The analysis is based on the use of a Fokker-Planck operator describing the…
It is shown that there exists a commuting diagram of mappings between dynamics of classical systems on one side and variational principles for geodesic lines in stationary spacetimes of general relativity on the other. The construction of…
We consider the 1D periodic Jacobi matrices. The spectrum of this operator is purely absolutely continuous and consists of intervals separated by gaps. We solve the inverse problem (including characterization) in terms of vertical slits on…
We look at periodic Jacobi matrices on trees. We provide upper and lower bounds on the gap of such operators analogous to the well known gap in the spectrum of the Laplacian on the upper half-plane with hyperbolic metric. We make some…
We prove that dynamically defined Jacobi and CMV matrices associated with generic continuous sampling functions have all gaps predicted by the Gap Labelling Theorem open. We also give a mechanism for generic gap opening for quasi-periodic…
We study the orthogonal polynomials associated with the equilibrium measure, in logarithmic potential theory, living on the attractor of an Iterated Function System. We construct sequences of discrete measures, that converge weakly to the…
We adapt the notion of Jacobi diagrams on surfaces (considered by Andersen-Mattes-Reshetikhin), and construct a LMO-like map that we use to compare some functoriality properties of WRT and LMO invariants.
