We consider the dynamics of `nonlinear tent maps': piecewise smooth unimodal maps with nowhere vanishing derivative. We show that if a nonlinear tent map $f$ is not infinitely renormalizable, then all its periodic orbits of sufficiently…

One of the most basic, longstanding open problems in the theory of dynamical systems is whether reachability is decidable for one-dimensional piecewise affine maps with two intervals. In this paper we prove that for injective maps, it is…

For a large class of nonuniformly expanding maps of $\Bbb R^m$, with indifferent fixed points and unbounded distorsion and non necessarily Markovian, we construct an absolutely continuous invariant measure. We extend to our case techniques…

It is known that piecewise affine surface homeomorphisms always have measures of maximal entropy. This is easily seen to fail in the discontinuous case. Here we describe a piecewise affine, globally continuous surface map with no measure of…

We consider a family of Pomeau-Manneville type interval maps $T_\alpha$, parametrized by $\alpha \in (0,1)$, with the unique absolutely continuous invariant probability measures $\nu_\alpha$, and rate of correlations decay $n^{1-1/\alpha}$.…

Continuous interpolation of real-valued data is characterized by piecewise monotone functions on a compact metric space. Topological total variation of piecewise monotone function f:X->R is a homeomorphism-invariant generalization of 1D…

We study a certain class of piecewise monotonic maps of interval. These maps are strictly monotone on finite interval partition, satisfies Markov condition and have generator property. We show that for a function from this class…

We study invariant measures of a piecewise expanding map in $\mathbb{R}^m$ defined by an expanding similitude modulo lattice. Using the result of Bang on a problem of Tarski, we show that when the similarity ratio is not less than $m+1$, it…

For a map $T \colon [0,1] \to [0,1]$ with an invariant measure $\mu$, we study, for a $\mu$-typical $x$, the set of points $y$ such that the inequality $|T^n x - y| < r_n$ is satisfied for infinitely many $n$. We give a formula for the…

Let $(X,d,f)$ be a topological dynamical system, where $(X,d)$ is a compact metric space and $f:X\to X$ is a continuous map. We define $n$-ordered empirical measure of $x\in X$ by \begin{align*}…

Let the map $f:[-1,1]\to[-1,1]$ have a.c.i.m. $\rho$ (absolutely continuous $f$-invariant measure with respect to Lebesgue). Let $\delta\rho$ be the change of $\rho$ corresponding to a perturbation $X=\delta f\circ f^{-1}$ of $f$. Formally…

Building on recent results regarding symmetric probabilistic constructions of countable structures, we provide a method for constructing probability measures, concentrated on certain classes of countably infinite structures, that are…

In this note we study when an invariant probability measure lifts to an invariant measure. Consider a standard Borel space $X$, a Borel probability measure $\mu$ on $X$, a Borel map $T \colon X \to X$ preserving $\mu$, a compact metric…

Let $M$ be a compact $n$-dimensional Riemanian manifold, End($M$) the set of the endomorphisms of $M$ with the usual $\mathcal{C}^0$ topology and $\phi: M\to\mathbb{R}$ continuous. We prove that there exists a dense subset of $\mathcal{A}$…

We relate the Mather invariant of diffeomorphisms of the (closed) interval to their asymptotic distortion. For maps with only parabolic fixed points, we show that the former is trivial if and only if the latter vanishes. As a consequence,…

Let $g:\, [0, 1]\rightarrow [0, 1]$ be piecewise linear unimodal map. We say that $g$ has non-trivial piecewise linear commutator, if there is a continuous piecewise linear $\psi:\, [0, 1]\rightarrow [0, 1]$ such that $g\circ \psi =…

We show that for any free probability measure-preserving action of $\mathbb{C}^{d}$ on a standard probability space, there exists a Borel entire function $F$ such that the factor map $x \mapsto F_{x}$, where $F_{x}(z) = F(z \cdot x)$, is…

We study sequences of partitions of a non decreasing sequence I n of intervals into subintervals, starting from the trivial partition, in which each partition is obtained from the one before by splitting its subintervals in two, according…

Let $I\subset\mathbb{R}$ be an interval and $T_a:[0,1]\to[0,1]$, $a\in I$, a one-parameter family of piecewise expanding maps such that for each $a\in I$ the map $T_a$ admits a unique absolutely continuous invariant probability measure…

We present a novel proof of de Finetti's Theorem characterizing permutation-invariant probability measures of infinite sequences of variables, so-called exchangeable measures. The proof is phrased in the language of Markov categories, which…
