We relate the Mather invariant of diffeomorphisms of the (closed) interval to their asymptotic distortion. For maps with only parabolic fixed points, we show that the former is trivial if and only if the latter vanishes. As a consequence,…
Given two graphs, a mapping between their edge-sets is cycle-continuous, if the preimage of every cycle is a cycle. The motivation for this notion is Jaeger's conjecture that for every bridgeless graph there is a cycle-continuous mapping to…
We study an interval exchange transformation of [0,1] formed by cutting the interval at the points 1/n and reversing the order of the intervals. We find that the transformation is periodic away from a Cantor set of Hausdorff dimension zero.…
An extension of an induced path $P$ in a graph $G$ is an induced path $P'$ such that deleting the endpoints of $P'$ results in $P$. An induced path in a graph is said to be avoidable if each of its extensions is contained in an induced…
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…
We study some special classes of piecewise continuous maps on a finite smooth partition of a compact manifold and look for invariant measures for such maps. We show that in the simplest one-dimensional case (so-called interval translation…
The two-dimensional homogeneous Euclidean algorithm is the central motivation for the definition of the classical multidimensional continued fraction algorithms, as Jacobi-Perron, Poincar\'e, Brun and Selmer algorithms. The Rauzy induction,…
In this paper we give a criterion for a special flow to be not isomorphic to its inverse which is a refine of a result in \cite{Fr-Ku-Le}. We apply this criterion to special flows $T^f$ built over ergodic interval exchange transformations…
We study discontinuous interval maps generated by the action of erasing block substitutions on the binary expansion. After establishing some general properties of these maps, we categorize erasing block substitutions in a hierarchy of…
In this paper we investigate commuting involution graphs in classical affine Weyl groups. Let $W$ be a classical Weyl group of rank $n$, with $\tilde W$ its corresponding affine Weyl group. Our main result is that if $X$ is a conjugacy…
In this article we prove that given a self-similar interval exchange transformation T, whose associated matrix verifies a quite general algebraic condition, there exists an affine interval exchange transformation with wandering intervals…
We prove that any over-twist pattern is conjugate to an interval exchange transformation with bounded number of segments of isometry, restricted on one of its cycles. The bound is independent of the period and over-rotation number of the…
In the present work, a new time-dependent exchange theory is presented wherein the symmetry constraints, on a multi-electron wavefunction, are properly accounted for. In so doing, the equations of motion, incorporating the required…
Most transport theorems---that is, a formula for the rate of change of an integral in which both the integrand and domain of integration depend on time---involve domains that evolve according to a flow map. Such domains are said to be…
We show that minimal shifts with zero topological entropy are topologically conjugate to interval exchange transformations, generally infinite. When these shifts have linear factor complexity (linear block growth), the conjugate interval…
We prove linear upper and lower bounds for the Hausdorff dimension set of minimal interval exchange transformations with flips (in particular without periodic points), and a linear lower bound for the Hausdorff dimension of the set of…
The correspondence between weighted undirected graphs and reversible Markov chains via vertex random walks is simple and well known. Leveraging this correspondence and ideas from the theory of dynamical systems, we study the structural…
For piecewise $C^1$ interval maps possibly containing critical points and discontinuities with negative Schwarzian derivative, under two summability conditions on the growth of the derivative and recurrence along critical orbits, we prove…
We study the ergodic properties of compositions of interval exchange transformations and rotations. We show that for any interval exchange transformation T, there is a full measure set of \alpha in [0, 1) so that T composed with R_{\alpha}…
We study a class of quantum dynamical maps for d-level systems that interpolate between positive, Schwarz, and completely positive evolutions. Our approach is based on a geometric analysis of the parameter space, which reveals the structure…
