Motivated by the moduli theory of taut contact circles on spherical 3-manifolds, we relate taut contact circles to transversely holomorphic flows. We give an elementary survey of such 1-dimensional foliations from a topological viewpoint.…
For the group PSL(2,Z) it is known that there is an isomorphism between polynomial eigenfunctions of the transfer operator for the geodesic flow and the Eichler cohomology in the theory of modular forms. In a recent paper by Chang and Mayer…
Let $X_\Sigma$ be a complete toric variety. The coherent-constructible correspondence $\kappa$ of \cite{FLTZ} equates $\Perf_T(X_\Sigma)$ with a subcategory $Sh_{cc}(M_\bR;\LS)$ of constructible sheaves on a vector space $M_\bR.$ The…
We show that if $G$ is a countable amenable group, then every stationary non-Gaussian symmetric $\alpha$-stable (S$\alpha$S) process indexed by $G$ is ergodic if and only if it is weakly-mixing, and it is ergodic if and only if its Rosinski…
Let $M$ be a smooth closed oriented surface. Gaussian thermostats on $M$ correspond to the geodesic flows arising from metric connections, including those with non-zero torsion. These flows may not preserve any absolutely continuous…
Motivated by Gromov's geodesic flow problem on hyperbolic groups $G$, we develop in this paper an analog using random walks. This leads to a notion of a harmonic analog $\Theta$ of the Bowen-Margulis-Sullivan measure on $\partial^2 G$. We…
Every topological group $G$ has up to isomorphism a unique minimal $G$-flow that maps onto every minimal $G$-flow, the universal minimal flow $M(G).$ We show that if $G$ has a compact normal subgroup $K$ that acts freely on $M(G)$ and there…
We classify certain sofic shifts (the irreducible Point Extension Type, or PET, sofic shifts) up to flow equivalence, using invariants of the canonical Fischer cover. There are two main ingredients: (1) An extension theorem, for extending…
We consider topological dynamical systems given by skew products $S\rtimes_{\tau} T$, where $S\colon Y\to Y$ is a subshift, $\tau\colon Y\to\mathbb{Z}$ is a continuous cocycle, and $T$ is an arbitrary invertible topological system. For…
In 1968, V.I. Oseledets formulated the question of convergence in the Birkhoff theorem and the multiplicative ergodic theorem for measurable cocycles over flows under the condition of integrability for each individual t. A.M. Stepin and the…
We prove the $L^{2}$ convergence for the linear multiple ergodic averages of commuting transformations $T_{1}, ..., T_{l}$, assuming that each map $T_i$ and each pair $T_iT_j^{-1}$ is ergodic for $i\neq j$. The limiting behavior of such…
In this paper we study the ergodic theory and thermodynamic formalism of the geodesic flow on non-compact pinched negatively curved manifolds. We consider two notions of entropy at infinity, the topological and the measure theoretic entropy…
We prove ergodicity in a class of skew-product extensions of interval exchange transformations given by cocycles with logarithmic singularities. This, in particular, gives explicit examples of ergodic $\mathbb{R}$-extensions of minimal…
We prove that for the uniquely ergodic ${\bf R}^d$ action associated with a primitive substitution tiling of finite local complexity, every measurable eigenfunction coincides with a continuous function almost everywhere. Thus, topological…
In connection with the results of Tim Austin, and Wen Huang, Song Shao, Xiangdong Ye we present the following assertion: there are infinite automorphisms $S,T$, some set $A$ of positive finite measure and a sequence $N_m$ with…
Boundary S matrices for the boundary tricritical Ising field theory (TIM), both with and without supersymmetry, have previously been proposed. Here we provide support for these S matrices by showing that the corresponding boundary entropies…
Power-law uniform (in the operator norm) convergence on vector subspaces with their own norms in von Neumann's ergodic theorem with continuous time is considered. All possible exponents of the considered power-law convergence are found; for…
If a non-ergodic, partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism on the 3-torus is homotopic to an Anosov diffeomorphism $A$, it is topologically conjugate to $A$.
In this paper, we give rates of convergence in the strong invariance principle for non-adapted sequences satisfying projective criteria. The results apply to the iterates of ergodic automorphisms T of the d-dimensional torus, even in the…
We derive, from the work of M. Ratner on joinings of time-changes of horocycle flows and from the result of the authors on its cohomology, the property of orthogonality of powers for non-trivial smooth time-changes of horocycle flows on…
