Let $\mathcal{M}(X)$ be the space of Borel probability measures on a compact metric space $X$ endowed with the weak$^\ast$-topology. In this paper, we prove that if the topological entropy of a nonautonomous dynamical system…

We consider an abstract system of Timoshenko type $$ \begin{cases} \rho_1{{\ddot \varphi}} + a A^{\frac12}(A^{\frac12}\varphi + \psi) =0\\ \rho_2{{\ddot \psi}} + b A \psi + a (A^{\frac12}\varphi + \psi) - \delta A^\gamma {\theta} = 0\\…

We study time changes of bounded type Heisenberg nilflows $(\phi_t)$ acting on the Heisenberg nilmanifold $M$. We show that for every positive $\tau\in W^s(M)$, $s~>~7/2$, every non-trivial time change $(\phi_t^{\tau})$ enjoys the Ratner…

We demonstrate that the Gibbs-Shannon entropy is applicable to non-equilibrium systems of any size and boundary conditions. The change in microscopic entropy can be attributed to the stochastic nature of dynamic processes and to the…

For an ergodic action of the group $Z^n$ on a probability space and a given arbitrarily slowly decreasing to zero sequence, there exists an integrable function such that the standard ergodic time averages for it converge almost everywhere…

Any decomposition of the total trajectory entropy production for Markovian systems has a joint probability distribution satisfying a generalized detailed fluctuation theorem, when all the contributing terms are odd with respect to time…

We construct an increasing sequence of natural numbers $(m_n)_{n=1}^{+\infty}$ with the property that $(m_n \th [1])_{n\geq 1}$ is dense in $\T$ for any $\th \in \R\setminus \Q$, and a continuous measure on the circle $\mu$ such that…

We define oscillating sequences which include the M\"obius function in the number theory. We also define minimally mean attractable flows and minimally mean-L-stable flows. It is proved that all oscillating sequences are linearly disjoint…

We confirm a conjecture posed by Bergelson, Moreira, and Richter (arXiv:1711.05729), and in particular show that for every probability measure preserving system $(X,\mathscr{B},\mu,T)$, every $k\in \mathbb{N}$, every set $A\in \mathscr{B}$…

Let $\lambda$ denote the Liouville function. The Chowla conjecture asserts that $$ \sum_{n \leq X} \lambda(a_1 n + b_1) \lambda(a_2 n+b_2) \dots \lambda(a_k n + b_k) = o_{X \to \infty}(X) $$ for any fixed natural numbers $a_1,a_2,\dots,a_k$…

Let $M(x)=\sum_{1\le n\le x}\mu(n)$ where $\mu$ is the M\"obius function. It is well-known that the Riemann Hypothesis is equivalent to the assertion that $M(x)=O(x^{1/2+\epsilon})$ for all $\epsilon>0$. There has been much interest and…

We say that two arithmetic functions f and g form a Mobius pair if f(n) = \sum_{d \mid n} g(d) for all natural numbers n. In that case, g can be expressed in terms of f by the familiar Mobius inversion formula of elementary number theory.…

Let $(X, \mathcal{B}, \mu, T)$ be a dynamical system where $X$ is a compact metric space with Borel $\sigma$-algebra $\mathcal{B}$, and $\mu$ is a probability measure that's ergodic with respect to the homeomorphism $T : X \to X$. We study…

Irreversible aggregation is an archetypal example of a system driven far from equilibrium by sources and sinks of a conserved quantity (mass). The source is a steady input of monomers and the evaporation of colliding particles with a small…

Suppose $(f,\mathcal{X},\mu)$ is a measure preserving dynamical system and $\phi \colon \mathcal{X} \to \mathbb{R}$ a measurable function. Consider the maximum process $M_n:=\max\{X_1 \ldots,X_n\}$, where $X_i=\phi\circ f^{i-1}$ is a time…

The time decay of fully discrete finite-volume approximations of porous-medium and fast-diffusion equations with Neumann or periodic boundary conditions is proved in the entropy sense. The algebraic or exponential decay rates are computed…

Consider a mixing dynamical systems $([0,1], T, \mu)$, for instance a piecewise expanding interval map with a Gibbs measure $\mu$. Given a non-summable sequence $(m_k)$ of non-negative numbers, one may define $r_k (x)$ such that $\mu (B(x,…

The basic theme of this paper is the fact that if $A$ is a finite set of integers, then the sum and product sets cannot both be small. A precise formulation of this fact is Conjecture 1 below due to Erd\H os-Szemer\'edi [E-S]. (see also…
