For a probability measure preserving dynamical system $(\mathcal{X},f,\mu)$, the Poincar\'e Recurrence Theorem asserts that $\mu$-almost every orbit is recurrent with respect to its initial condition. This motivates study of the statistics…

We provide a complete characterisation of automaticity of uniformly recurrent substitutive sequences in terms of the incidence matrix of the return substitution of the underlying purely substitutive sequence. This resolves a recent question…

For any dynamical system $T:X\rightarrow X$ of a compact metric space $X$ with $g-$almost product property and uniform separation property, under the assumptions that the periodic points are dense in $X$ and the periodic measures are dense…

We introduce an elementary congruence-based procedure to look for q-th power multiples in arbitrary binary recurrence sequences (q>2). The procedure allows to prove that no such multiples exist in many instances.

In the context of geodesic flows of noncompact negatively curved manifolds, we propose three different definitions of entropy and pressure at infinity, through growth of periodic orbits, critical exponents of Poincar\'e series, and entropy…

Consider families of $k$-subsets (or blocks) on a ground set of size $v$. Recall that if all $t$-subsets occur with the same frequency $\lambda$, one obtains a $t$-design with index $\lambda$. On the other hand, if all $t$-subsets occur…

We show that there is a set which is not a set of multiple recurrence despite being a set of recurrence for nil-Bohr sets. This answers Huang, Shao, and Ye's \enquote{higher-order} version of Katznelson's Question on Bohr recurrence and…

A recent paper [M. H. Lee, Phys. Rev. Lett. 98, 190601 (2007)] has called attention to the fact that irreversibility is a broader concept than ergodicity, and that therefore the Khinchin theorem [A. I. Khinchin, Mathematical Foundations of…

We study qualitative properties of the set of recurrent points of finitely generated free semigroups of measurable maps. In the case of a single generator the classical Poincare recurrence theorem shows that these properties are closely…

Let $(X,\mathcal{A}, \mu)$ be a probability measure space and let $T_i,$ $1\leq i\leq H,$ be commuting invertible measure preserving transformations on this measure space. We prove the following pointwise results; The averages…

Pesin sets are measurable sets along which the behavior of a matrix cocycle above a measure preserving dynamical system is explicitly controlled. In uniformly hyper-bolic dynamics, we study how often points return to Pesin sets under…

We construct a set $S$ such that every translate of $S$ is a set of recurrence and a set of rigidity for a weak mixing measure preserving system. This construction generalizes or strengthens results of Katznelson, Saeki, Forrest, and Fayad…

For a measurable map $T$ and a sequence of $T$-invariant probability measures $\mu_n$ that converges in some sense to a $T$-invariant probability measure $\mu$, an estimate from below for the Kolmogorov--Sinai entropy of $T$ with respect to…

In this paper we study quantitative recurrence and the shrinking target problem for dynamical systems coming from overlapping iterated function systems. Such iterated function systems have the important property that a point often has…

Let $(X,d)$ be a compact metric space and $(X,\mathcal{A},\mu,T)$ a measure preserving dynamical system. Furthermore, given a real, positive function $\psi$, let $W(T, \psi)$ and $ R(T,\psi) $ respectively denote the shrinking target set…

We make three observations regarding a question popularized by Katznelson: is every subset of $\mathbb Z$ which is a set of Bohr recurrence is also a set of topological recurrence? (i) If $G$ is a countable abelian group and $E\subset G$ is…

We state and prove a generalization of Kingman's ergodic theorem on a measure-preserving dynamical system $(X,\mathcal{F},\mu,T)$ where the $\mu$-almost sure subadditivity condition $f_{n+m} \leq f_n + f_m \circ T^{n}$ is relaxed to a…

We collect problems on recurrence for measure preserving and topological actions of a countable abelian group, considering combinatorial versions of these problems as well. We solve one of these problems by constructing, in…

We investigate the shrinking target and recurrence set associated to non-autonomous measure-preserving systems on compact metric spaces, establishing zero-one criteria in the spirit of classical Borel-Cantelli results. Our first main…

An attempt is made to construct composable composite entropy with different $q$ indices of subsystems and address the H-theorem problem of the composite system. Though the H-theorem does not hold in general situations, it is shown that some…
