Let $\nu$ be a probability measure that is ergodic under the endomorphism $(\times p, \times p)$ of the torus $\mathbb{T}^2$, such that $\dim \pi \mu < \dim \mu$ for some non-principal projection $\pi$. We show that, if both $m\neq n$ are…

We prove $\times a$ $\times b$ measure rigidity for multiplicatively independent pairs when $a\in\mathbb{N}$ and $b>1$ is a ``specified'' real number (the $b$-expansion of $1$ has a tail or bounded runs of $0$'s) under a positive entropy…

Given ergodic p-invariant measures {\mu_i} on the 1-torus T=R/Z, we give a sharp condition on their entropies, guaranteeing that the entropy of the convolution \muon converges to \log p. We also prove a variant of this result for joinings…

Let $(X,\mathfrak{B},\mu)$ be a Borel probability space. Let $T_n: X\rightarrow X$ be a sequence of continuous transformations on $X$. Let $\nu$ be a probability measure on $X$ such that $\frac{1}{N}\sum_{n=1}^N (T_n)_\ast \nu \rightarrow…

This note contains a new proof of Host's equidistribution theorem for multiplicatively independent endomorphisms of $\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}$. The method is a simplified version of our upcoming work on equidistribution under toral…

We show that if $(X, \mu, T)$ is a probability measure-preserving dynamical system, and $\mathscr{P}$ is a countable partition of $(X, \mu)$, then the limit $$ \lim_{n, k \to \infty} \mathbb{E} \left[ \frac{1}{k} \sum_{j = 0}^{k - 1} f…

Let X be a real or complex Hilbert space of finite but large dimension d, let S(X) denote the unit sphere of X, and let u denote the normalized uniform measure on S(X). For a finite subset B of S(X), we may test whether it is approximately…

We prove the following statement: Let $X=\text{SL}_n(\mathbb{Z})\backslash \text{SL}_n(\mathbb{R})$, and consider the standard action of the diagonal group $A<\text{SL}_n(\mathbb{R})$ on it. Let $\mu$ be an $A$-invariant probability measure…

Since the work of Ornstein and Weiss in 1987 (J. Analyse Math. 48 (1987)) it has been understood that the natural category for classical ergodic theory would be probability measure preserving actions of discrete amenable groups. A…

We show that equidistribution of irrational orbits on the unit circle implies Furstenberg's conjecture.

For integers $a$ and $b\geq 2$, let $T_a$ and $T_b$ be multiplication by $a$ and $b$ on $\mathbb{T}=\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}$. The action on $\mathbb{T}$ by $T_a$ and $T_b$ is called $\times a,\times b$ action and it is known that, if $a$ and…

Let $G$ be a locally compact group and $\mu$ be a probability measure on $G$. We consider the convolution operator $\lambda_1(\mu)\colon L_1(G)\to L_1(G)$ given by $\lambda_1(\mu)f=\mu \ast f$ and its restriction $\lambda_1^0(\mu)$ to the…

Let $T \colon M \to M$ be a nonuniformly expanding dynamical system, such as logistic or intermittent map. Let $v \colon M \to \mathbb{R}^d$ be an observable and $v_n = \sum_{k=0}^{n-1} v \circ T^k$ denote the Birkhoff sums. Given a…

We consider the map $T_{\alpha,\beta}(x):= \beta x + \alpha \mod 1$, which admits a unique probability measure of maximal entropy $\mu_{\alpha,\beta}$. For $x \in [0,1]$, we show that the orbit of $x$ is $\mu_{\alpha,\beta}$-normal for…

Let $G$ be a real Lie group, $\Lambda\subseteq G$ a lattice, and $X=G/\Lambda$. We fix a probability measure $\mu$ on $G$ and consider the left random walk induced on $X$. It is assumed that $\mu$ is aperiodic, has a finite first moment,…

Let $\lambda$ be a probability measure on $\mathbb T^{n-1}$ where $n=2$ or 3. Suppose $\lambda$ is invariant, ergodic and has positive entropy with respect to the linear transformation defined by a hyperbolic matrix. We get a measure $\mu $…

Measure rigidity is a branch of ergodic theory that has recently contributed to the solution of some fundamental problems in number theory and mathematical physics. Examples are proofs of quantitative versions of the Oppenheim conjecture,…

Let K be a number field, let M be the Hilbert modular orbifold of K, and let m(q) be the probability measure uniformly supported on the cusp cross sections of M at height q. We generalize a method of Zagier and show that m(q) distributes…

Assuming that a reflected Ornstein-Uhlenbeck state process is observed at discrete time instants, we propose generalized moment estimators to estimate all drift and diffusion parameters via the celebrated ergodic theorem. With the sampling…

We consider a random walk on a homogeneous space $G/\Lambda$ where $G$ is a non-compact simple Lie group and $\Lambda$ is a lattice. The walk is driven by a probability measure $\mu$ on $G$ whose support generates a Zariski-dense subgroup.…
