We consider generalized interval exchange transformations (GIETs) of d intervals ($d\geq 2$) which are linearizable, i.e. differentiably conjugated to standard interval exchange maps (IETs) via a diffeomorphism h of [0, 1] and study the…
Generalized interval exchange transformations (GIETs) are semi-conjugate to interval exchange transformations (IETs) when the Rauzy-Veech combinatorics is $\infty$-complete. When this semi-conjugacy is a homeomorphism, a fundamental problem…
We prove a rigidity result for foliations on surfaces of genus two, which can be seen as a generalization to higher genus of Herman's theorem on circle diffeomorphisms and, correspondingly, flows on the torus. We prove in particular that,…
We consider generalized interval exchange transformations, or briefly GIETs, that is bijections of the interval which are piecewise increasing homeomorphisms with finite branches. When all continuous branches are translations, such maps are…
We show that, generically, the unique invariant measure of a sufficiently regular piecewise smooth circle homeomorphism with irrational rotation number and zero mean nonlinearity (e.g., piecewise linear) has zero Hausdorff dimension. To…
In this article we study local rigidity properties of generalised interval exchange maps using renormalisation methods. We study the dynamics of the renormalisation operator $\mathcal{R}$ acting on the space of $\mathcal{C}^{3}$-generalised…
We find conditions for two piecewise C^{2+\nu} homeomorphisms f and g of the circle to be C^1 conjugate. Besides the restrictions on the combinatorics of the maps (we assume that the maps have bounded combinatorics), and necessary…
We produce affine interval exchange transformations (AIETs) which are topologically conjugated to (standard) interval exchange maps (IETs) via a singular conjugacy, i.e. a diffeomorphism $h$ of $[0,1]$ which is $C^0$ but not $C^1$ and such…
The rigidity theory for circle homeomophisms with breaks was studied intensively in the last 20 years. It was proved that under mild conditions of the Diophantine type on the rotation number any two $C^{2+\alpha}$ smooth circle…
We develop a renormalization scheme which extends the classical Rauzy-Veech induction used to study interval exchange tranformations (IETs) and allows to study generalized interval exchange transformations (GIETs) $T: [0,1) \to [0,1)$ with…
We prove that if two analytic multicritical circle maps with the same bounded type rotation number are topologically conjugate by a conjugacy which matches the critical points of the two maps while preserving the orders of their…
We study renormalizations of piecewise smooth homeomorphisms on the circle, by considering such maps as generalized interval exchange maps of genus one. Suppose that $Df$ is absolutely continuous on each interval of continuity and…
A standard interval exchange map is a one-to-one map of the interval which is locally a translation except at finitely many singularities. We define for such maps, in terms of the Rauzy-Veech continuous fraction algorithm, a diophantine…
A general ansatz in Renormalization Theory, already established in many important situations, states that exponential convergence of renormalization orbits implies that topological conjugacies are actually smooth (when restricted to the…
We prove that any two $C^3$ critical circle maps with the same irrational rotation number of bounded type and the same odd criticality are conjugate to each other by a $C^{1+\alpha}$ circle diffeomorphism, for some universal $\alpha>0$.
Let $f,g$ be $C^2$ expanding maps on the circle which are topologically conjugate. We assume that the derivatives of $f$ and $g$ at corresponding periodic points coincide for some large period $N$. We show that $f$ and $g$ are…
Let $f$ and $g$ be two circle endomorphisms of degree $d\geq 2$ such that each has bounded geometry, preserves the Lebesgue measure, and fixes $1$. Let $h$ fixing $1$ be the topological conjugacy from $f$ to $g$. That is, $h\circ f=g\circ…
In this work we study the renormalization operator acting on piecewise smooth homeomorphisms on the circle, that turns out to be essentially the study of Rauzy-Veech renormalizations of generalized interval exchanges maps with genus one. In…
We prove that any two $C^4$ critical circle maps with the same irrational rotation number and the same odd criticality are conjugate to each other by a $C^1$ circle diffeomorphism. The conjugacy is $C^{1+\alpha}$ for Lebesgue almost every…
Criteria for piecewise linear circle homeomorphisms to be conjugate to a rigid rotation, $x\to x+\omega~({\rm mod}~1)$, with rational rotation number $\omega$ are given. The consequences of the existence of such maps in families of maps is…
