Let $f : [0, 1] \to [0, 1]$ be a piecewise expanding unimodal map of class $C^{k+1}$, with $k \geq 1$, and $\mu = \rho dx$ the (unique) SRB measure associated to it. We study the regularity of $\rho$. In particular, points $\mathcal{N}$…
We introduce the {\em $\mu$-topological stability}. This is a type of stability depending on the measure $\mu$ different from the set-valued approach \cite{lm}. We prove that the map $f$ is $m_p$-topologically stable if and only if $p$ is a…
In this paper, the development of a mathematical method is presented to explore spatially non-uniform phases with no long-range order in mathematical models of first order phase transitions. We use essential results regarding the…
Let $\{X_i\}_{i=1}^{\infty}$ be a sequence of independent copies of a random vector $X$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$. We revisit the question to determine the asymptotic shape of the random polytope $K_N={\rm conv}\{X_1,\ldots ,X_N\}$ where $N>n$. We…
Let $E \subset \mathbb R^d$, $d \ge 2$, be compact, and let $\phi(x,y)$ be a smooth function satisfying the Phong--Stein rotational curvature condition on $\{\phi(x,y)=1\}$. We prove that if $\dim_{\mathcal H}(E)>1$, then $$…
We study the problem of classifying stationary measures and orbit closures for non-abelian action on a surface with a given smooth invariant measure. Using a result of Brown and Rodriguez Hertz, we show that under a certain finite…
Let $f$ be a $C^2$ diffeomorphism on compact Riemannian manifold $M$ with partially hyperbolic splitting $$ TM=E^u\oplus E_1^c\oplus\cdots\oplus E_k^c \oplus E^s, $$ where $E^u$ is uniformly expanding, $E^s$ is uniformly contracting, and…
Let $f$ be a $C^r$ surface diffeomorphism with large entropy (more precisely, $h_{\rm top}(f)>\lambda_{\min}(f)/{r}$). Then the number of ergodic measures of maximal entropy is upper semicontinuous at $f$. This generalizes the $C^\infty$…
We study dynamical systems generated by skew products: $$T: [0,1)\times\mathbb{R}\to [0,1)\times\mathbb{R} \quad\quad T(x,y)=(bx\mod1,\gamma y+\phi(x))$$ where integer $b\ge2$, $0<\gamma<1$ and $\phi$ is a real analytic…
A probability measure is a characteristic measure of a topological dynamical system if it is invariant to the automorphism group of the system. We show that zero entropy shifts always admit characteristic measures. We use similar techniques…
We construct the entropic measure $\mathbb{P}^\beta$ on compact manifolds of any dimension. It is defined as the push forward of the Dirichlet process (another random probability measure, well-known to exist on spaces of any dimension)…
Let b be an integer and mu a probability measure on [0,1] which is invariant and ergodic multiplication by b mod 1, and 0<dim(mu)<1. Let f be a diffeomorphism between open subsets of the line. We show that if the measures mu and f(mu) are…
We consider the problem of when a symbolic dynamical system supports a Borel probability measure that is invariant under every element of its automorphism group. It follows readily from a classical result of Parry that the full shift on…
