A family of discontinuous symplectic maps on the cylinder is considered. This family arises naturally in the study of nonsmooth Hamiltonian dynamics and in switched Hamiltonian systems. The transformation depends on two parameters and is a…
We set up a geometrical theory for the study of the dynamics of reducible Pisot substitutions. It is based on certain Rauzy fractals generated by duals of higher dimensional extensions of substitutions. We obtain under certain hypotheses…
We introduce a definition of admissibility for subintervals in interval exchange transformations. Using this notion, we prove a property of the natural codings of interval exchange transformations, namely that any derived set of a regular…
We study nonperiodic tilings of the line obtained by a projection method with an interval projection structure. We obtain a geometric characterisation of all interval projection tilings that admit substitution rules and describe the set of…
In this note we give a short proof that graphs having no linearly small F{\o}lner sets can be partitioned into a union of expanders. We use this fact to prove a partition result for graphs admitting linearly small maximal F{\o}lner sets and…
We study the asymptotical behaviour of iterates of piecewise contractive maps of the interval. It is known that Poincar\'e first return maps induced by some Cherry flows on transverse intervals are, up to topological conjugacy, piecewise…
Let $f$ be a piecewise continuous and monotonic map on the interval with at most finitely many discontinuities and turning points. In this paper we study properties about this class of maps and show its main difference from the continuous…
For any transitive piecewise monotonic map for which the set of periodic measures is dense in the set of ergodic invariant measures (such as monotonic mod one transformations and piecewise monotonic maps with two monotonic pieces), we show…
Piecewise-linear maps describe dynamical phenomena that switch between distinct states and readily generate complex bifurcation structures due to their strong nonlinearity. We show that two-dimensional continuous piecewise-linear maps near…
In this paper we analyze the geometric structure and properties of a certain class of subsets of $\Bbb R^d$, known in the literature as 1-multicones, and here simply called multicones, which are quite natural generalizations of the…
Given a dynamical system, we study the so-called space of shift functions thus introducing another vision on bifurcations and chaos. As an application of the obtained results, we give a partial solution to an open problem formulated in…
This paper investigates the algebraic and dynamical properties of the twisted cocycle, a $\mathrm{GL}(d, \mathbb{C})$-valued cocycle defined over the toral extension of the Zorich (Rauzy-Veech) renormalization for interval exchange…
We consider a one-parameter family of piecewise isometries of a rhombus. The rotational component is fixed, and its coefficients belong to the quadratic number field $K=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{2})$. The translations depend on a parameter $s$ which…
We study the ergodic properties of compositions of interval exchange transformations and rotations. We show that for any interval exchange transformation T, there is a full measure set of \alpha in [0, 1) so that T composed with R_{\alpha}…
In this work we study the renormalization operator acting on piecewise smooth homeomorphisms on the circle, that turns out to be essentially the study of Rauzy-Veech renormalizations of generalized interval exchanges maps with genus one. In…
Exchangeability is a central notion in statistics and probability theory. The assumption that an infinite sequence of data points is exchangeable is at the core of Bayesian statistics. However, finite exchangeability as a statistical…
The destruction of regular regions in two-dimensional, area-preserving maps is traditionally described in terms of the breakup of invariant curves and the persistence of transport barriers. Here, we investigate how this scenario changes…
For an interval exchange map, the number of discontinuities of its iterates either exhibits linear growth or is bounded. This dichotomy is used to prove that the group of interval exchanges does not contain distortion elements, giving…
Continuing work begun in a previous paper, we study the real dynamics of a family of plane birational maps. This time we consider a parameter range where the real and complex dynamics are different. We show in particular that for one…
We review old and new uses of exchangeability, emphasizing the general theme of exchangeable representations of complex random structures. Illustrations of this theme include processes of stochastic coalescence and fragmentation; continuum…
