For an open and dense subset of elliptic ${\rm SL}(2,\mathbb R)$ matrix cocycles, we construct a family of loosely Bernoulli ergodic measures with zero top Lyapunov exponent. This provides a counterpart to a classical result by Furstenberg.…
The main result of this paper is that two large collections of ergodic measure preserving systems, the Odometer Based and the Circular Systems have the same global structure with respect to joinings. The classes are canonically isomorphic…
We introduce new systems that we call odomutants, built by distorting the orbits of an odometer. We use these transformations for flexibility results in quantitative orbit equivalence. It follows from the work of Kerr and Li that if the…
We extend anti-classification results in ergodic theory to the collection of weakly mixing systems by proving that the isomorphism relation as well as the Kakutani equivalence relation of weakly mixing invertible measure-preserving…
A zero-entropy system is said to be loosely Bernoulli if it can be induced from an irrational rotation of the circle. We provide a criterion for zero-entropy systems to be loosely Bernoulli that is compatible with mixing. Using these…
In this paper we address the existence and ergodicity of non-hyperbolic attracting sets for a certain class of smooth endomorphisms on the solid torus. Such systems allow a formulation as a skew product system defined by planar…
Recently Matthew Foreman and Benjamin Weiss showed in a series of papers that smooth ergodic diffeomorphisms of a compact manifold are unclassifiable up to measure-isomorphism. In this paper we show that the uniform circular systems used in…
The M\"obius disjointness conjecture of Sarnak states that the M\"obius function does not correlate with any bounded sequence of complex numbers arising from a topological dynamical system with zero topological entropy. We verify the…
We introduce the Feldman-Katok pseudometric (FK-pseudometric for short) for flows. We then provide a characterization of zero entropy loosely Bernoulli measures for continuous flows via the FK-pseudometric extending the result known for…
A deep analysis of the Lyapunov exponents, for stationary sequence of matrices going back to Furstenberg, for more general linear cocycles by Ledrappier and generalized to the context of non-linear cocycles by Avila and Viana, gives an…
Suppose f is a $C^{1+\alpha}$ surface diffeomorphism, and m is an equilibrium measure of a Holder continuous potential. We show that if m has positive metric entropy, then f is measure theoretically isomorphic to the product of a Bernoulli…
We provide a purely topological characterisation of uniquely ergodic topological dynamical systems (TDSs) whose unique invariant measure is zero entropy loosely Bernoulli (following Ratner, we call such measures loosely Kronecker). At the…
We introduce the so-called weak Pinsker dynamical filtrations, whose existence in any ergodic system follows from the universality of the weak Pinsker property, recently proved by Austin. These dynamical filtrations appear as a potential…
We prove that for some manifolds $M$ the set of robustly transitive partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms of $M$ with one-dimensional nonhyperbolic centre direction contains a $C^1$-open and dense subset of diffeomorphisms with nonhyperbolic…
For a large class of transitive non-hyperbolic systems, we construct nonhyperbolic ergodic measures with entropy arbitrarily close to its maximal possible value. The systems we consider are partially hyperbolic with one-dimension central…
We show that a totally dissipative system has all nonsingular systems as factors, but that this is no longer true when the factor maps are required to be finitary. In particular, if a nonsingular Bernoulli shift satisfies the Doeblin…
We give elementary constructions of factors of nonsingular Bernoulli shifts. In particular, we show that all nonsingular Bernoulli shifts on a finite number of symbols which satisfy the Doeblin condition have a factor that is equivalent to…
The article presents a new perspective on the isomorphism problem for non-ergodic measure-preserving dynamical systems with discrete spectrum which is based on the connection between ergodic theory and topological dynamics constituted by…
We give explicit $C^1$-open conditions that ensure that a diffeomorphism possesses a nonhyperbolic ergodic measure with positive entropy. Actually, our criterion provides the existence of a partially hyperbolic compact set with…
We obtain the following dichotomy for accessible partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms of 3-dimensional manifolds having compact center leaves: either there is a unique entropy maximizing measure, this measure has the Bernoulli property and…
