We investigate a single-particle in one-dimensional Wannier-Stark ladders with either a linear potential or a mosaic potential with spacing $\kappa=2$. In both cases, we exactly determine the critical energies separating the weakly ergodic…
We study necessary and sufficient conditions for contraction and incremental stability of dynamical systems with respect to non-Euclidean norms. First, we introduce weak pairings as a framework to study contractivity with respect to…
We consider extensions of the notion of topological transitivity for a dynamical system $(X,f)$. In addition to chain transitivity, we define strong chain transitivity and vague transitivity. Associated with each there is a notion of…
Hyperbolic-parabolic systems have spatially homogenous stationary states. When the dissipation is weak, one can derive weakly nonlinear-dissipative approximations that govern perturbations of these constant states. These approximations are…
This text is an introduction to the author's cohomological approach, based on Hodge theory, to (effective) unique ergodicity and weak mixing of translation flows. Compared to earlier expositions, it emphasizes the analogy between the two…
We establish the existence of weak solutions of coupled systems of elliptic partial differential equations with quasimonotone nonlinearities in the domain interior and on the boundary. When the nonlinearities satisfy some monotonicity…
We construct examples of minimal and uniquely ergodic systems realizing all possible behaviors in the interplay of measurable and topological nilfactors. To build such examples, we adapt an idea that stems from Furstenberg's construction of…
A convergence theorem for martingales with c\`adl\`ag trajectories (right continuous with left limits everywhere) is obtained in the sense of the weak dual topology on Hilbert space, under conditions that are much weaker than those required…
We show that topological mixing, weak mixing and total transitivity are equivalent for coded systems. We provide an example of a mixing coded system which cannot be approximated by any increasing sequence of mixing shifts of finite type,…
The weak-strong uniqueness of solutions to a broad class of cross-diffusion systems with volume filling is established. In general, the diffusion matrices are neither symmetric nor positive definite. This issue is overcome by supposing that…
Recently the Kac formula for the conditional expectation of the first recurrence time of a conditionally ergodic conditional expectation preserving system was established in the measure free setting of vector lattices (Riesz spaces). We now…
In this note we study the weak topology on paired modules over a (not necessarily commutative) ground ring. Over QF rings we are able to recover most of the well known properties of this topology in the case of commutative base fields. The…
In this article we study random tower maps driven by an ergodic automorphism. We prove quenched exponential correlations decay for tower maps admitting exponential tails. Our technique is based on constructing suitable cones of functions,…
A characterization of relative weak mixing in W*-dynamical systems in terms of a relatively independent joining is proven.
Rational weak mixing is a measure theoretic version of Krickeberg's strong ratio mixing property for infinite measure preserving transformations. It requires "{\tt density}" ratio convergence for every pair of measurable sets in a dense…
We discuss counterexamples to the validity of the weak Maximum Principle for linear elliptic systems with zero and first order couplings and prove, through a suitable reduction to a nonlinear scalar equation, a quite general result showing…
We study distribution of orbits sampled at polynomial times for uniquely ergodic topological dynamical systems $(X, T)$. First, we prove that if there exists an increasing sequence $(q_n)$ for which the rigidity condition \[…
The question we deal with here, which was presented to us by Joe Auslander and Anima Nagar, is whether there is a nontrivial cascade (X,T) whose enveloping semigroup, as a dynamical system, is topologically weakly mixing (WM). After an…
We study $C^1$-robustly transitive and nonhyperbolic diffeomorphisms having a partially hyperbolic splitting with one-dimensional central bundle whose strong un-/stable foliations are both minimal. {In dimension $3$, an important class of…
The celebrated Birkhoff Ergodic Theorem asserts that, for an ergodic map, orbits of almost every point equidistributes when sampled at integer times. This result was generalized by Bourgain to many natural sparse subsets of the integers. On…
