We present a Lyapunov centre theorem for an antisymplectically reversible Hamiltonian system exhibiting a nondegenerate $1:1$ or $1:-1$ semisimple resonance as a detuning parameter is varied. The system can be finite- or infinite…
For any maximal surface group representation into $\mathrm{SO}_0(2,n+1)$, we introduce a non-degenerate scalar product on the the first cohomology group of the surface with values in the associated flat bundle. In particular, it gives rise…
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…
Let S be a closed orientable surface of genus at least 2 and let G be a semisimple real algebraic group of non-compact type. We consider a class of representations from the fundamental group of S to G called positively ratioed…
The space of Hitchin representations of the fundamental group of a closed surface $S$ into $\text{SL}_n\mathbb{R}$ embeds naturally in the space of projective oriented geodesic currents on $S$. We find that currents in the boundary have…
A pseudo-Anosov homeomorphism of a surface is a canonical representative of its mapping class. In this paper, we explain that a transitive pseudo-Anosov flow is similarly a canonical representative of its stable Hamiltonian class. It…
We consider bifurcation of critical points from a trivial branch for families of functionals that are invariant under the orthogonal action of a compact Lie group. Based on a recent construction of an equivariant spectral flow by the…
We prove that any nonabelian, non-Fuchsian representation of a surface group into PSL(2,R) is the holonomy of a folded hyperbolic structure on the surface. Using similar ideas, we establish that any non-Fuchsian representation rho of a…
Given a second order partial differential operator $L$ satisfying the strong H\"ormander condition with corresponding heat semigroup $P_t$, we give two different stochastic representations of $dP_t f$ for a bounded smooth function $f$. We…
In this article we derive rigorously a nonlinear, steady, bifurcation through spectral bifurcation (i.e., eigenvalues of the linearized equation crossing the imaginary axis) for a class of hyperbolic-parabolic model in a strip. This is…
We describe a family of representations of $\pi_1(\Sigma)$ in PU(2,1), where $\Sigma$ is a hyperbolic Riemann surface with at least one deleted point. This family is obtained by a bending process associated to an ideal triangulation of…
Given a finite set of quasi-periodic cocycles the random product of them is defined as the random composition according to some probability measure. We prove that the set of $C^r$, $0\leq r \leq \infty$ (or analytic) $k+1$-tuples of quasi…
We propose new chaos indicators for systems with extremely small positive Lyapunov exponents. These chaos indicators can firstly detect a sharp transition between the Arnold diffusion regime and the Chirikov diffusion regime of the…
We review and study a one-parameter family of functional transformations, denoted by $(S^{(\beta)})_{\beta\in \R}$, which, in the case $\beta<0$, provides a path realization of bridges associated to the family of diffusion processes…
In this paper we introduce a notion of Poincar\'e exponent for isometric representations of discrete groups on Hilbert spaces. Similarly as growth exponents control the geometry this exponent is shown to control the size of spectral gaps.…
We develop a powerful and general method to provide rigorous and accurate upper and lower bounds for Lyapunov exponents of stochastic flows. Our approach is based on computer-assisted tools, the adjoint method and established results on the…
Each signature $\underline{\lambda}(n)=(\lambda_1(n),\dots,\lambda_n(n))$, where $\lambda_1(n)\geq\dots\geq\lambda_n(n)$ are integers, gives an irreducible representation…
We study the regularity of Lyapunov exponents as functions on the space of compactly supported probability measures on $\mathrm{GL}(d,\mathbb{R})$. We prove that the Lyapunov exponents are pointwise log-H\"older continuous with respect to…
The diffusive motion of overdamped Brownian particles in tilted piecewise linear pontentials is considered. It is shown that the enhancement of diffusion coefficient by an external static force is quite sensitive to the symmetry of periodic…
We estimate the finite-time Lyapunov exponents for a stochastic partial differential equation driven by a fractional Brownian motion (fbm) with Hurst index $H\in(0,1)$ close to a bifurcation of pitchfork type. We characterize regions…
