We consider discrete random dynamical systems induced by a non-elementary group action on a non-proper hyperbolic space. We prove that if the system is ergodic and satisfies the ``asymptotic past and future independence condition'' as…

These are lecture notes on the subject defined in the title. As such, they do not pretend to be really new, probably except for the only section about Poisson equations with potentials. Yet, the hope of the author is that they may serve as…

We show that a relatively hyperbolic group either is virtually cyclic or has uniform exponential growth.

The aim of this paper is to prove ergodic decomposition theorems for probability measures quasi-invariant under Borel actions of inductively compact groups (Theorem 1) as well as for sigma-finite invariant measures (Corollary 1). For…

A concept of emergence was recently introduced in the paper [Berger] in order to quantify the richness of possible statistical behaviors of orbits of a given dynamical system. In this paper, we develop this concept and provide several new…

These notes provide an overview of various notions of hyperbolicity for varieties of log general type from the viewpoint of both arithmetic and birational geometry. The main results are based on our paper entitled "Hyperbolicity and…

Bourbaki seminar 1062, October 2012.

These notes are based on a course for a general audience given at the Centro de Modeliamento Matem\'atico of the University of Chile, in December 2004. We study the mean convergence of multiple ergodic averages, that is, averages of a…

We introduce the concepts of Baire Ergodicity and Ergodic Formalism, employing them to study topological and statistical attractors. Specifically, we establish the existence and finiteness of such attractors and provide applications for…

We prove that for volume preserving, partially hyperbolic, center bunched endomorphisms with constant Jacobian, essential accessibility implies ergodicity.

In this paper we present a conditional proof of Wojtkowski's Ergodicity Conjecture for the system of 1D perfectly elastic balls falling down in a half line under constant gravitational acceleration. Namely, we prove that almost every such…

We study the ergodic theory of non-conservative C^1-generic diffeomorphisms. First, we show that homoclinic classes of arbitrary diffeomorphisms exhibit ergodic measures whose supports coincide with the homoclinic class. Second, we show…

The main aim of the present set of notes is to give new, short and essentially self-contained proofs of some classical, as well as more recent, results about random walks on groups. For instance, we shall see that the drift characterization…

We describe a procedure which verifies that a group given by generators and relators is word-hyperbolic. This procedure always works with a group which is word-hyperbolic, provided there is sufficient memory and time devoted to the problem.…

An introduction to Hyperbolic Analysis is presented.

This text is a slightly edited version of lecture notes for a course I gave at ETH, during the Winter term 2000-2001, to undergraduate Mathematics and Physics students. Contents: Chapter 1 - Examples of Dynamical Systems Chapter 2 -…

We provide an exposition of the proofs of Bourgain's polynomial ergodic theorems. The focus is on the motivation and intuition behind his arguments.

We look at group actions on metric spaces, particularly at group actions on geodesic hyperbolic spaces. We classify the types of automorphisms on these spaces and prove several results about the density of the hyperbolic limit set of the…

For every non-elementary hyperbolic group, we introduce the Manhattan curve associated to any pair of left-invariant hyperbolic metrics which are quasi-isometric to a word metric. It is convex; we show that it is continuously differentiable…

Content of the lectures is the following. Properties of transformations equivalent to ergodicity. Birkhoff's Theorem. Properties equivalent to weak mixing. On typical properties of transformations. Lego to construct transformations. Typical…
