We consider typical area preserving flows on higher genus surfaces and prove that the flow restricted to mixing minimal components is mixing of all orders, thus answering affimatively to Rohlin's multiple mixing question in this context.…

Let $T=(T_t^f)_{t\in \mathbb{R}}$ be a special flow built over an IET $T : T \to T$ of bounded type, under a roof function f with symmetric logarithmic singularities at a subset of discontinuities of T. We show that $T$ satisfies so-called…

It is proved that all special flows over the rotation by an irrational $\alpha$ with bounded partial quotients and under $f$ which is piecewise absolutely continuous with a non-zero sum of jumps are mildly mixing. Such flows are also shown…

We consider special flows over two-dimensional rotations by $(\alpha,\beta)$ on $\T^2$ and under piecewise $C^2$ roof functions $f$ satisfying von Neumann's condition $\int_{\T^2}f_x(x,y)\,dx\,dy\neq 0\neq \int_{\T^2}f_y(x,y)\,dx\,dy.$ Such…

We consider special flows over the rotation by an irrational $\alpha$ under the roof functions of bounded variation without continuous, singular part in the Lebesgue decomposition and the sum of jumps $\neq 0$. We show that all such flows…

We give a condition on a piecewise constant roof function and an irrational rotation by $\alpha$ on the circle to give rise to a special flow having the mild mixing property. Such flows will also satisfy Ratner's property. As a consequence…

The Ratner property, a quantitative form of divergence of nearby trajectories, is a central feature in the study of parabolic homogeneous flows. Discovered by Marina Ratner and used in her 1980th seminal works on horocycle flows, it pushed…

We consider special flows over the rotation on the circle by an irrational $\alpha$ under roof functions of bounded variation. The roof functions, in the Lebesgue decomposition, are assumed to have a continuous singular part coming from a…

We prove that minimal area-preserving flows locally given by a smooth Hamiltonian on a closed surface of any genus are typically (in the measure-theoretical sense) not mixing. The result is obtained by considering special flows over…

We show that a free, ergodic action of $\mathbb{R}$ with (finite) Ratner's property has countable discrete essential centralizer. Moreover we show that such flows are mildly mixing.

Over the last 10 years or so, advanced statistical properties, including exponential decay of correlations, have been established for certain classes of singular hyperbolic flows in three dimensions. The results apply in particular to the…

A celebrated result of Ratner from the eighties says that two horocycle flows on hyperbolic surfaces of finite area are either the same up to algebraic change of coordinates, or they have no non-trivial joinings. Recently, Mohammadi and Oh…

Arnol'd flows are a class of area-preserving flows on surfaces. In this paper, we prove that typical Arnol'd flows have the minimal self-joining property. Consequently, we can classify centralizers and factors of typical Arnol'd flows.

For different classes of measure preserving transformations, we investigate collections of sets that exhibit the property of lightly mixing. Lightly mixing is a stronger property than topological mixing, and requires that a lim inf is…

We consider reparametrizations of Heisenberg nilflows. We show that if a Heisenberg nilflow is uniquely ergodic, all non-trivial time-changes within a dense subspace of smooth time-changes are mixing. Equivalently, in the language of…

We study time changes of bounded type Heisenberg nilflows $(\phi_t)$ acting on the Heisenberg nilmanifold $M$. We show that for every positive $\tau\in W^s(M)$, $s~>~7/2$, every non-trivial time change $(\phi_t^{\tau})$ enjoys the Ratner…

The famous Rokhlin Problem asks whether mixing implies higher order mixing. So far, all the known examples of zero entropy, mixing dynamical systems enjoy a variant of the mixing via shearing mechanism. In this paper we introduce the notion…

We establish the mixing property for a family of Lebesgue measure preserving toral maps composed of two piecewise linear shears, the first of which is non-monotonic. The maps serve as a basic model for the `stretching and folding' action in…

Structurally stable (rough) flows on surfaces have only finitely many singularities and finitely many closed orbits, all of which are hyperbolic, and they have no trajectories joining saddle points. The violation of the last property leads…

We show that the rate of mixing of the Weil-Petersson flow on non-exceptional (higher dimensional) moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces is at most polynomial.
