We consider a non-uniquely ergodic dynamical system given by a $\mathbb{Z}^{l}$-action (or $(\N\cup\{0\})^l$-action) $\tau$ on a non-empty compact metrisable space $\Omega$, for some $l\in\N$. Let (D) denote the following property: The…

We prove that systems satisfying the specification property are saturated in the sense that the topological entropy of the set of generic points of any invariant measure is equal to the measure-theoretic entropy of the measure. We study…

Let $f$ be a $C^r$ surface diffeomorphism with large entropy (more precisely, $h_{\rm top}(f)>\lambda_{\min}(f)/{r}$). Then the number of ergodic measures of maximal entropy is upper semicontinuous at $f$. This generalizes the $C^\infty$…

In this paper we study the ergodic theory of a robust non-uniformly expanding maps where no Markov assumption is required. We prove that the topological pressure is differentiable as a function of the dynamics and analytic with respect to…

We describe dimensional entropies introduced in a previous work list some of their properties and give some new proofs. These entropies allowed the definition of entropy-expanding maps. We introduce a new notion of entropy-hyperbolicity for…

It is known that hyperbolic dynamical systems admit a unique invariant probability measure with maximal entropy. We prove an effective version of this statement and use it to estimate an upper bound for Hausdorff dimension of exceptional…

We prove the entropic continuity of Lyapunov exponent for C^r maps of the interval or of the circle with large entropy for r>1, without making any assumptions on the set of critical points. A consequence is the upper semi-continuity of…

It is known that piecewise affine surface homeomorphisms always have measures of maximal entropy. This is easily seen to fail in the discontinuous case. Here we describe a piecewise affine, globally continuous surface map with no measure of…

Extending our results in "Entropy conjecture for continuous maps of nilmanifolds", to appear in Israel Jour. of Math., we confirm that Entropy Conjecture holds for every continuous self-map of a compact $K(\pi,1)$ manifold with the…

It has been known for some time that the topological entropy is a nondecreasing function of the parameter in the real quadratic family, which corresponds to the intuitive idea that more nonlinearity induces more complex dynamical behavior.…

We study the geodesic flow of a class of 3-manifolds introduced by Benoist which have some hyperbolicity but are non-Riemannian, not CAT(0), and with non-C^1 geodesic flow. The geometries are nonstrictly convex Hilbert geometries in…

We extend D. Burguet's construction of SRB measures for the non invertible scenario obtaining hyperbolic invariant measures with absolutely continuous disintegrations on stable manifolds for a certain class of endomorphisms on the two…

We propose an extension of ergodic theory which focuses on the identification of ergodicity in terms of the uniqueness of the invariant measure. We first explain the concept for the doubling maps, which can be analyzed using Fourier…

We study the inverse problem of inferring the state of a finite-level quantum system from expected values of a fixed set of observables, by maximizing a continuous ranking function. We have proved earlier that the maximum-entropy inference…

We study the dynamical properties of ball expanding maps, a class of continuous self-maps defined on compact metric spaces. For a ball expanding map, we show that: (1) the set of periodic points is dense in the chain recurrent set; (2) if…

Given a closed, orientable surface of constant negative curvature and genus $g \ge 2$, we study a family of generalized Bowen-Series boundary maps and prove the following rigidity result: in this family the topological entropy is constant…

We study maximum-entropy inference for finite-dimensional quantum states under linear moment constraints. Given expectation values of finitely many observables, the feasible set of states is convex but typically non-unique. The…

We construct ergodic probability measures with infinite metric entropy for typical continuous maps and homeomorphisms on compact manifolds. We also construct sequences of such measures that converge to a zero-entropy measure.

We describe a method for investigating the integrable character of a given three-point mapping, provided that the mapping has confined singularities. Our method, dubbed "express", is inspired by a novel approach recently proposed by R.G.…

In this article we study geodesic flows on closed Riemannian manifolds without conjugate points and divergence property of geodesic rays. If the fundamental group is Gromov hyperbolic and residually finite we prove, under appropriate…
