Given a topologically transitive subshift of finite type, the $u$-dimension of the $\alpha$-level set of the quotient of Birkhoff sums is a well-studied topic. In this paper, we consider the uniform $\alpha$-level set, which is a subset of…

In infinite ergodic theory, two distributional limit theorems are well-known. One is characterized by the Mittag-Leffler distribution for time averages of $L^1(m)$ functions, i.e., integrable functions with respect to an infinite invariant…

The Birkhoff Ergodic Theorem concludes that time averages, that is, Birkhoff averages, $\Sigma_{n=1}^N f(x_n)/N$ of a function $f$ along an ergodic trajectory $(x_n)$ of a function $T$ converges to the space average $\int f d\mu$, where…

Let $S(0,1)$ be the $*$-algebra of all classes of Lebesgue measurable functions on the unit interval $(0,1)$ and let $(\mathcal{A},\left\|\cdot \right\|_\mathcal{A})$ be a complete symmetric $\Delta$-normed $*$-subalgebra of $S(0,1)$, in…

We discuss some classical and recent results and open problems on the statistical behavior of ergodic sums above toral translations, and their applications to Diophantine approximations and to ergodic properties of systems related to…

It is well known that the Riemann zeta function, as well as several other $L$-functions, is universal in the strip $1/2<\sigma<1$; this is certainly not true for $\sigma>1$. Answering a question of Bombieri and Ghosh, we give a simple…

A timelike splitting theorem for Finsler spacetimes was previously established by the third author, in collaboration with Lu and Minguzzi, under relatively strong hypotheses, including the Berwald condition. This contrasts with the more…

Fix a translation surface $X$, and consider the measures on $X$ coming from averaging the uniform measures on all the saddle connections of length at most $R$. Then as $R\to\infty$, the weak limit of these measures exists and is equal to…

We derive results on the distribution of directions of saddle connections on translation surfaces using only the Birkhoff ergodic theorem applied to the geodesic flow on the moduli space of translation surfaces. Our techniques, together…

We prove absence of absolutely continuous spectrum for discrete one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators on the whole line with certain ergodic potentials, $V_\omega(n) = f(T^n(\omega))$, where $T$ is an ergodic transformation acting on a…

Given $x\in(0, 1]$, let $\mathcal U(x)$ be the set of bases $q\in(1,2]$ for which there exists a unique sequence $(d_i)$ of zeros and ones such that $x=\sum_{i=1}^\infty d_i/q^i$. L\"{u}, Tan and Wu (2014) proved that $\mathcal U(x)$ is a…

We consider the space $A(\mathbb{T}^d)$ of absolutely convergent Fourier series on the torus $\mathbb{T}^d$. The norm on $A(\mathbb{T}^d)$ is naturally defined by $\|f\|_{A}=\|\widehat{f}\|_{l^1}$, where $\widehat{f}$ is the Fourier…

For negative-torsion maps on the annulus we show that on every $\mathcal{C}^1$ essential curve there is at least one point of zero torsion. As an outcome, we deduce that the Hausdorff dimension of the set of points of zero torsion is…

We consider small perturbations of a conformal iterated function system (CIFS) produced by either adding or removing some generators with small derivative from the original. We establish a formula, utilizing transfer operators arising from…

We extend a recent result of Tim Austin (see arXiv:0905.0515) to the L^1 setting, thus providing a general version of the Birkhoff ergodic theorem for functions taking values in nonpositively curved spaces. In this setting, the notion of a…

We show that the absolutely normalized, symmetric Birkhoff sums of positive integrable functions in infinite, ergodic systems never converge pointwise even though they may be almost surely bounded away from zero and infinity.

Bounded holomorphic functions on the disk have radial limits in almost every direction, as follows from Fatou's theorem. Given a zero-measure set $E$ in the torus $\mathbb T$, we study the set of functions such that $\lim_{r \to 1^{-}} f(r…

We consider solutions to linear parabolic SPDEs of the form \[ \mathrm{d} u(t) + A u(t)\, \mathrm{d} t = g(t)\, \mathrm{d} \beta, \qquad u(0)=0, \] where $A$ is a positive, invertible, and self-adjoint operator on a Hilbert space $X$,…

Suppose $\alpha$ is a rotationally symmetric norm on $L^{\infty}\left(\mathbb{T}\right) $ and $\beta$ is a "nice" norm on $L^{\infty}\left(\Omega,\mu \right) $ where $\mu$ is a $\sigma$-finite measure on $\Omega$. We prove a version of…

For Borel subsets $\Theta\subset O(d)\times \mathbb{R}^d$ (the set of all rigid motions) and $E\subset \mathbb{R}^d$, we define \begin{align*} \Theta(E):=\bigcup_{(g,z)\in \Theta}(gE+z). \end{align*} In this paper, we investigate the…
