We give a method to bound the entropy of measures on $SL_{d}(\mathbb{R})/SL_{d}(\mathbb{Z})$ which are invariant under a one parameter diagonal subgroup, in terms of entropy contributions from the regions of the cusp corresponding to…

Let $(X, \mathcal{A},\mu)$ be a probability space and let $T$ be a contraction on $L^2(\mu)$. We provide suitable conditions over sequences $(w_k)$, $(u_k)$ and $(A_k)$ in such a way that the weighted ergodic limit…

Let $(X,T)$ be a topological dynamical system consisting of a compact metric space $X$ and a continuous surjective map $T : X \to X$. By using local entropy theory, we prove that $(X,T)$ has uniformly positive entropy if and only if so does…

We study large deviations for measurable averaging operators on state spaces of dynamical systems. Our main motivation is the Hecke operators on the modular curve Y_0(p^n) and their generalization to higher rank S-arithmetic quotients. We…

Let $\bm{i}=1+q+...+q^{i-1}$. For certain sequences $(r_1,...,r_l)$ of positive integers, we show that in the Hecke algebra $\mathscr{H}_n(q)$ of the symmetric group $\mathfrak{S}_n$, the product $(1+\bm{r_1}T_{r_1})... (1+\bm{r_l}T_{r_l})$…

Let $G$ be a countable infinite discrete amenable group.It should be noted that a $G$-system $(X,G)$ naturally induces a $G$-system $(\mathcal{M}(X),G)$, where $\mathcal{M}(X)$ denotes the space of Borel probability measures on the compact…

Consider a countable amenable group acting by homeomorphisms on a compact metrizable space. Chung and Li asked if expansiveness and positive entropy of the action imply existence of an off-diagonal asymptotic pair. For algebraic actions of…

We extend the domain of the Karcher mean $\Lambda$ of positive operators on a Hilbert space to $L^1$-Borel probability measures on the cone of positive operators equipped with the Thompson part metric. We establish existence and uniqueness…

For a fixed prime p, we consider the (finite) set of supersingular elliptic curves over $\bar{\mathbb{F}}$. Hecke operators act on this set. We compute the asymptotic frequence with which a given supersingular elliptic curve visits another…

It is a folklore result in arithmetic quantum chaos that quantum unique ergodicity on the modular surface with an effective rate of convergence follows from subconvex bounds for certain triple product $L$-functions. The physical space…

Let $\alpha>0$ and $\mu$ be a positive Borel measure on the interval $[0,1)$. The Hankel matrix $\mathcal{H}_{\mu,\alpha}=(\mu_{n,k,\alpha})_{n,k\ge0}$ with entries…

We present a new argument in the study of positive entropy measures for higher rank diagonalisable actions. The argument relies on a quantitative form of recurrence along unipotent directions (that are not known to preserve the measure).…

Let $\mu$ be a positive Borel measure on the interval [0,1). The Hankel matrix $\mathcal{H}_\mu= (\mu_{n,k})_{n,k\geq0}$ with entries $\mu_{n,k}= \mu_{n+k}$, where $\mu_n=\int_{ [0,1)}t^nd\mu(t)$, induces formally the operator…

We classify the measures on SL (k,R)/SL (k,Z) which are invariant and ergodic under the action of the group A of positive diagonal matrices with positive entropy. We apply this to prove that the set of exceptions to Littlewood's conjecture…

Dan Rudolph showed that for an amenable group $\Gamma$, the generic measure-preserving action of $\Gamma$ on a Lebesgue space has zero entropy. Here this is extended to nonamenable groups. In fact, the proof shows that every action is a…

We prove lower bounds for the entropy of limit measures associated to non-degenerate sequences of eigenfunctions on locally symmetric spaces of non-positive curvature. In the case of certain compact quotients of the space of positive…
