The following well known open problem is answered in the negative: Given two compact spaces $X$ and $Y$ that admit minimal homeomorphisms, must the Cartesian product $X\times Y$ admit a minimal homeomorphism as well? A key element of our…

We consider the Schr\"odinger operator on the quantum graph whose edges connect the points of ${\Bbb Z}$. The numbers of the edges connecting two consecutive points $n$ and $n+1$ are read along the orbits of a shift of finite type. We prove…

Let $f$ be a non-invertible $C^{1+\beta}(\beta>0)$ map with zero Lyapunov exponents and singularities on a closed Riemannian manifold $M$. We consider the symbolic dynamics of $f$. Combining the techniques in recent works of Sarig, Ovadia…

We prove that for any holomorphic map, and any bounded orbit which does not accumulate to a singular set or to an attracting cycle, its lower Lyapunov exponent is non-negative. The same result holds for unbounded orbits, for maps with a…

By using Lyapunov conditions, weak Poincar\'e inequalities are established for some probability measures on a manifold $(M,g)$. These results are further applied to the convolution of two probability measures on $\R^d$. Along with explicit…

Let $\mu$ be a self-affine measure on $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ associated to an affine IFS $\Phi$ and a positive probability vector $p$. Suppose that the maps in $\Phi$ do not have a common fixed point, and that standard irreducibility and…

We show that the continuity property of Lyapunov exponents proved in \cite{BCS-Exponents} for smooth surface diffeomorphisms extends to smooth interval maps, in the case when the map only has non-flat critical points and the entropies…

In this paper, a necessary and sufficient condition for the stability of Lyapunov exponents of linear differential system are proved in the sense that the equations satisfy the weaker form of integral separation instead of its classical…

Let $\mu$ be a self-affine measure on $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ associated to a self-affine IFS $\{\varphi_{\lambda}(x) = A_{\lambda}x + v_{\lambda}\}_{\lambda\in\Lambda}$ and a probability vector $p=(p_{\lambda})_{\lambda}>0$. Assume the strong…

We study several new invariants associated to a holomorphic projective structure on a Riemann surface of finite analytic type: the Lyapunov exponent of its holonomy which is of probabilistic/dynamical nature and was introduced in our…

We show how the existence of three objects, $\Omega_{\rm trap}$, ${\bf W}$, and $C$, for a continuous piecewise-linear map $f$ on $\mathbb{R}^N$, implies that $f$ has a topological attractor with a positive Lyapunov exponent. First,…

In the present work we obtain rigidity results analysing the set of regular points, in the sense of Oseledec's Theorem. It is presented a study on the possibility of an Anosov diffeomorphisms having all Lyapunov exponents defined…

Lyapunov exponents describe the asymptotic behavior of the singular values of large products of random matrices. A direct computation of these exponents is however often infeasible. By establishing a link between Lyapunov exponents and an…

In this short note we describe a simple but remarkably effective method for rigorously estimating Lyapunov exponents for expanding maps of the interval. We illustrate the applicability of this method with some standard examples.

We apply the maximum entropy principle to construct the natural invariant density and Lyapunov exponent of one-dimensional chaotic maps. Using a novel function reconstruction technique that is based on the solution of Hausdorff moment…

The Lyapunov exponent characterizes the asymptotic behavior of long matrix products. Recognizing scenarios where the Lyapunov exponent is strictly positive is a fundamental challenge that is relevant in many applications. In this work we…

Let f(z)=z^2+c be an infinitely renormalizable quadratic polynomial and J_\infty be the intersection of forward orbits of "small" Julia sets of its simple renormalizations. We prove that if f admits an infinite sequence of satellite…

In this article we characterize monotone extensions of cw-expansive homeomorphisms of compact metric spaces. We study the topology of its quotient space in the case of a compact surface. These results are applied to prove that there are…
