We study open zooming systems and potentials with uniqueness of equilibrium states. The uniqueness is established for a certain class of zooming potentials when the map is topologically exact, including the null one. Also, with equilibrium…

We introduce a quantitative condition on orbits of dynamical systems which measures their aperiodicity. We show the existence of sequences in the Bernoulli-shift and geodesics on closed hyperbolic manifolds which are as aperiodic as…

We study the thermodynamic formalism of sufficiently regular interval maps for Holder continuous potentials. We show that for a hyperbolic potential there is a unique equilibrium state, and that this measure is exponentially mixing.…

We construct a symplectic flow on a surface of genus g greater than one with exactly 2g-2 hyperbolic fixed points and no other periodic orbits. Moreover, we prove that a (strongly non-degenerate) symplectomorphism of a surface (with genus g…

The author shows that equicontinuous geodesic flows on surfaces are periodic. A similar result for flows on 3-manifolds is also proven. The idea of the proof is to show that the return map is recurrent and therefore periodic.

This paper is devoted to the study of the thermodynamic formalism for a class of real multimodal maps. This class contains, but it is larger than, Collet-Eckmann. For a map in this class, we prove existence and uniqueness of equilibrium…

Affine cylinders (genus zero surfaces with two singularities) and affine tori (genus one surfaces without singularities) are among the simplest examples of surfaces endowed with a complex affine structure. Their geodesic flows are…

The spectra of parallel flows (that is, flows governed by first-order differential operators parallel to one direction) are investigated, on both $L^2$ spaces and weighted-$L^2$ spaces. As a consequence, an example of a flow admitting a…
