Two pairs of disjoint bases $\mathbf{P}_1=(R_1,B_1)$ and $\mathbf{P}_2=(R_2,B_2)$ of a matroid $M$ are called equivalent if $\mathbf{P}_1$ can be transformed into $\mathbf{P}_2$ by a series of symmetric exchanges. In 1980, White conjectured…
H\"older's theorem states that any group acting freely by circle homeomorphisms is abelian, this is no longer true for interval exchange transformations: we first give examples of free actions of non abelian groups. Then after noting that…
We study infinite words coding an orbit under an exchange of three intervals which have full complexity $\C(n)=2n+1$ for all $n\in\N$ (non-degenerate 3iet words). In terms of parameters of the interval exchange and the starting point of the…
Let $E/\mathbb{Q}(T)$ be a non-isotrivial elliptic curve of rank $r$. A theorem due to Silverman implies that the rank $r_t$ of the specialization $E_t/\mathbb{Q}$ is at least $r$ for all but finitely many $t \in \mathbb{Q}$. Moreover, it…
We show that a typical interval exchange transformation is either weakly mixing or it is an irrational rotation. We also conclude that a typical translation flow on a surface of genus $g \geq 2$ (with prescribed singularity types) is weakly…
We prove a spatial limit theorem for generic interval exchange transformations (IETs): for a generic IET the normalized ergodic sums of a sufficiently regular (e.g., Lipschitz) function have the same asymptotic behavior of distributions as…
We introduce a definition of admissibility for subintervals in interval exchange transformations. Using this notion, we prove a property of the natural codings of interval exchange transformations, namely that any derived set of a regular…
We present shrinking targets results for general systems with the emphasis on applications for IETs (interval exchange transformations) $(J,T)$, $J=[0,1)$. In particular, we prove that if an IET $(J,T)$ is ergodic (relative to the Lebesgue…
We characterize Leavitt path algebras which are exchange rings in terms of intrinsic properties of the graph and show that the values of the stable rank for these algebras are 1, 2 or $\infty$. Concrete criteria in terms of properties of…
The construction of affine interval exchange maps with wandering intervals that are semi-conjugate with a given self-similar interval exchange map is strongly related with the existence of the so called minimal sequences associated with…
We consider the structure of Pisot substitution tiling spaces, in particular, the structure of those spaces for which the translation action does not have pure discrete spectrum. Such a space is always a measurable m-to-one cover of an…
A rotated odometer is an infinite interval exchange transformation (IET) obtained as a composition of the von Neumann-Kakutani map and a finite IET of intervals of equal length. In this paper, we consider rotated odometers for which the…
We show the equivalence of two possible definitions of a rotational interval exchange transformation: by the first one, it is a first return map for a circle rotation onto a union of finite number of circle arcs, and by the second one, it…
We establish conditions for the existence of a family of piecewise linear invariant curves in a two-parameter family of piecewise isometries on the upper half-plane known as Translated Cone Exchange Transformations. We show that these…
We present the first explicit example of an interval exchange transformation with flips (FIET) possessing three distinct invariant ergodic measures. The proof is based on a generalization of M. Keane's method, using the Rauzy induction…
We study repetitions in infinite words coding exchange of three intervals with permutation (3,2,1), called 3iet words. The language of such words is determined by two parameters $\varepsilon,\ell$. We show that finiteness of the index of…
We refine upper bounds on the permanent saturation time of metric graphs using interval exchange transformations (IETs). Earlier results gave bounds under incommensurable edge lengths, we improve and generalize them by using the ergodic and…
We consider the restriction of interval exchange transformations to algebraic number fields, which leads to maps on lattices. We characterize renormalizability arithmetically, and study its relationships with a geometrical quantity that we…
Let E denote the group of all interval exchange transformations on [0,1). Given a suitable topological group structure on E, it is possible to classify all one-parameter interval exchange actions (continuous homomorphisms from R to E). In…
The Three Gap Theorem states that for any $\alpha \in (0,1)$ and any integer $N \geq 1$, the fractional parts of the sequence $0, \alpha, 2\alpha, \cdots, (N-1)\alpha$ partition the unit interval into $N$ subintervals having at most…
