For a large class of transitive non-hyperbolic systems, we construct nonhyperbolic ergodic measures with entropy arbitrarily close to its maximal possible value. The systems we consider are partially hyperbolic with one-dimension central…

We continue our study of the dynamics of mappings with small topological degree on (projective) complex surfaces. Previously, under mild hypotheses, we have constructed an ergodic ``equilibrium'' measure for each such mapping. Here we study…

We prove the positivity of the top Lyapunov exponent of the twisted (spectral) cocycle, associated with IETs, with respect to a family of natural invariant measures. The proof relies on relating the top exponent to limits of exponents along…

We consider the reducibility problem of cocycles by isometries of Gromov hyperbolic metric spaces in the Livsic setting. We show that provided that the boundary cocycle (that acts on a compact space) is reducible in a suitable H\"older…

We show that the automorphism group of every zero entropy infinite shift admits a "drift" homomorphism to $(\mathbb{R},+)$ that maps the shift map to 1. This homomorphism arises as the expectation, under an invariant measure, of a cocycle…

We classify the GL(2,R)-invariant subvarieties M in strata of Abelian differentials for which any two M-parallel cylinders have homologous core curves. This answers a question of Mirzakhani and Wright. As a corollary we show that outside of…

We exhibit examples of almost periodic Verblunsky coefficients for which Herman's subharmonicity argument applies and yields that the associated Lyapunov exponents are uniformly bounded away from zero.

We prove existence of (at most denumerable many) absolutely continuous invariant probability measures for random one-dimensional dynamical systems with asymptotic expansion. If the rate of expansion (Lyapunov exponents) is bounded away from…

We consider one-step cocycles of $2 \times 2$ matrices, and we are interested in their Lyapunov-optimizing measures, i.e., invariant probability measures that maximize or minimize a Lyapunov exponent. If the cocycle is dominated, that is,…

The article states that for every compact manifold M of dimension 4 or higher there is an area U in a set of smooth diffeomorphisms over M such that every map f from U has local maximal partially hyperbolic attractor and nonatomic ergodic…

We prove that a generic linear cocycle over a minimal base dynamics of finite dimension has the property that the Oseledets splitting with respect to any invariant probability coincides almost everywhere with the finest dominated splitting.…

We establish the existence of intermittent two-point dynamics and infinite stationary measures for a class of random circle endomorphisms with zero Lyapunov exponent, as a dynamical characterisation of the transition from synchronisation…

We study cocycles taking values in the mapping class group of closed surfaces and investigate their leading topological Lyapunov exponent. Under a natural closing property, we show that the top topological Lyapunov exponent can be…

We study the relationship between the Lyapunov exponents of the geodesic flow of a closed negatively curved manifold and the geometry of the manifold. We show that if each periodic orbit of the geodesic flow has exactly one Lyapunov…

We consider symplectic cocycles over two classes of partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms: having compact center leaves and time one maps of Anosov flows. We prove that the Lyapunov exponents are non-zero in an open and dense set in the…

We present an analysis of one-dimensional models of dynamical systems that possess 'coherent structures'; global structures that disperse more slowly than local trajectory separation. We study cocycles generated by expanding interval maps…

We consider ergodic families of Verblunsky coefficients generated by minimal aperiodic subshifts. Simon conjectured that the associated probability measures on the unit circle have essential support of zero Lebesgue measure. We prove this…

We present recent results about the asymptotic behavior of ergodic products of isometries of a metric space X. If we assume that the displacement is integrable, then either there is a sublinear diffusion or there is, for almost every…

We develop an isotopy principle for holomorphic motions. Our main result concerns the extendability of a holomorphic motion of a finite subset $E$ of a Riemann surface $Y$ parameterized by a point $t$ in a pointed hyperbolic surface $(X,…

We study the infinitesimal rigidity of equivariant minimal maps from the universal cover of a smooth oriented surface (possibly non-compact) into a Riemannian symmetric space, focusing on representations arising from cyclic harmonic…
