We employ techniques from optimal transport in order to prove decay of transfer operators associated to iterated functions systems and expanding maps, giving rise to a new proof without requiring a Doeblin-Fortet (or Lasota-Yorke)…

We study the possibility of defining a distance on the whole space of measures, with the property that the distance between two measures having the same mass is the Wasserstein distance, up to a scaling factor. We prove that, under very…

Let $(X,T)$ and $(Y,S)$ be two topological dynamical systems, where $(X,T)$ has the weak specification property. Let $\xi$ be an invariant measure on the product system $(X\times Y, T\times S)$ with marginals $\mu$ on $X$ and $\nu$ on $Y$,…

Let $X,Y$ be algebraic varieties defined over $\Bbb R$. Assume $Y$ is smooth and $X$ is Gorenstein. Suppose $\varphi:X\to Y$ is a flat $\Bbb R$-morphism such that all the fibers have rational singularities. We show that the pushforward of…

If $\pi:(X,T)\to(Z,S)$ is a topological factor map between uniquely ergodic topological dynamical systems, then $(X,T)$ is called an isomorphic extension of $(Z,S)$ if $\pi$ is also a measure-theoretic isomorphism. We consider the case when…

In this note we study when an invariant probability measure lifts to an invariant measure. Consider a standard Borel space $X$, a Borel probability measure $\mu$ on $X$, a Borel map $T \colon X \to X$ preserving $\mu$, a compact metric…

We consider extensions of non-singular maps which are exact, respectively K-mixing, or at least have a decomposition into positive-measure exact, respectively K-mixing, components. The fibers of the extension spaces have countable (finite…

Given an irreducible subshift of finite type X, a subshift Y, a factor map \pi : X \to Y, and an ergodic invariant measure \nu on Y, there can exist more than one ergodic measure on X which projects to \nu and has maximal entropy among all…

Given a finite-to-one factor map $\pi: (X, T) \to (Y, S)$ between topological dynamical systems, we look into the pushforward map $\pi_*: M(X, T) \to M(Y,T)$ between sets of invariant measures. We investigate the structure of the measure…

Using optimal transport we study some dynamical properties of expanding circle maps acting on measures by push-forward. Using the definition of the tangent space to the space of measures introduced by Gigli, their derivative at the unique…

We introduce and study a variant of the Wasserstein distance on the space of probability measures, specially designed to deal with measures whose support has a dendritic, or treelike structure with a particular direction of orientation. Our…

We study a generalized notion of a homogeneous skew-product extension of a probability-preserving system in which the homogeneous space fibres are allowed to vary over the ergodic decomposition of the base. The construction of such…

Consider a proper metric space X and a sequence of i.i.d. random continuous mappings F_n from X to X. It induces the stochastic dynamical system (SDS) X_n^x = F_n(X_{n-1}^x) starting at x in X. In this paper, we study existence and…

We suggest that the tools of contraction analysis for deterministic systems can be applied towards studying the convergence behavior of stochastic dynamical systems in the Wasserstein metric. In particular, we consider the case of Ito…

We develop a new stochastic analysis approach to the lattice Yang--Mills model at strong coupling in any dimension $d>1$, with t' Hooft scaling $\beta N$ for the inverse coupling strength. We study their Langevin dynamics, ergodicity,…

Let $\pi:X\to Y$ be a factor map, where $(X,\sigma_X)$ and $(Y,\sigma_Y)$ are subshifts over finite alphabets. Assume that $X$ satisfies weak specification. Let $\ba=(a_1,a_2)\in \R^2$ with $a_1>0$ and $a_2\geq 0$. Let $f$ be a continuous…

Given a smooth morphism $Y\to S$ and a proper morphism $P\to S$ of algebraic varieties we give a sufficient condition for extending an $S$-morphism $U\to P$, where $U$ is an open subset of $Y$, to an $S$-morphism $Y\to P$, analogous to…
