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…

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…

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 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 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…

Arnol'd and Kochergin mixing conservative flows on surfaces stand as the main and almost only natural class of mixing transformations for which higher order mixing has not been established, nor disproved. Under suitable arithmetic…

Unipotent flows are well-behaved dynamical systems. In particular, Marina Ratner has shown that the closure of every orbit for such a flow is of a nice algebraic (or geometric) form. After presenting some consequences of this important…

The liftable centralizer for special flows over irrational rotations is studied. It is shown that there are such flows under piecewise constant roof functions which are rigid and whose liftable centralizer is trivial.

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.…

We show an isomorphism stability property for Cartesian products of either flows with joining primeness property or flows which are $\alpha$-weakly mixing.

In this paper, we study the centralizer of a separating continuous flow without fixed points. We show that if $M$ is a compact metric space and $\phi_t:M\to M$ is a separating flow without fixed points, then $\phi_t$ has a quasi-trivial…

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…

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.

We compare self-joining- and embeddability properties. In particular, we prove that a measure preserving flow $(T_t)_{t\in\mathbb{R}}$ with $T_1$ ergodic is 2-fold quasi-simple (2-fold distally simple) if and only if $T_1$ is 2-fold…

Given any pair of countable groups $G$ and $H$ with $G$ infinite, we construct a minimal, free, Cantor $G$-flow $X$ so that $H$ embeds into the group of automorphisms of $X$.

We consider a stochastic flow driven by a finite dimensional Brownian motion. We show that almost every realization of such a flow exhibits strong statistical properties such as the exponential convergence of an initial measure to the…

We show certain rigidity for minimizers of generalized Colding-Minicozzi entropies. The proofs are elementary and work even in situations where the generalized entropies are not monotone along mean curvature flow.

In this paper we study the centralizer of flows and $\mathbb R^d$-actions on compact Riemannian manifolds. We prove that the centralizer of every $C^\infty$ Komuro-expansive flow with non-ressonant singularities is trivial, meaning it is…

We prove that any ergodic measure-preserving action of an irreducible lattice in a semisimple group, with finite center and each simple factor having rank at least two, either has finite orbits or has finite stabilizers. The same dichotomy…

We prove that flow of a generic geodesic on a flat surface with finite holonomy group is ergodic. We use this result to prove that flows of generic billiards on certain flat surfaces with boundary are also ergodic.
