We consider irreducible actions of locally compact product groups, and of higher rank semi-simple Lie groups. Using the intermediate factor theorems of Bader-Shalom and Nevo-Zimmer, we show that the action stabilizers, and all irreducible…

The purpose of this article is to extend the applicability of the stationarity principle of the full Jacobi action to non-conservative natural systems and to derive equations of motion corresponding to this extended principle. To this end,…

We establish finiteness of low-dimensional actions of lattices in higher-rank semisimple Lie groups and establish Zimmer's conjecture for many such groups. This builds on previous work of the authors handling the case of actions by…

Given a finite-dimensional real vector space $V$, a probability measure $\mu$ on $\operatorname{PGL}(V)$ and a $\mu$-invariant subspace $W$, under a block-Lyapunov contraction assumption, we prove existence and uniqueness of lifts to…

We discuss the problem of bounding the Fourier transforms of stationary measures of iterated function systems (IFSs) and how the pseudo-randomness of the IFS either due to arithmetic, algebraic or geometric reasons is reflected in the…

Random walk is an explainable approach for modeling natural processes at the molecular level. The Random Permutation Set Theory (RPST) serves as a framework for uncertainty reasoning, extending the applicability of Dempster-Shafer Theory.…

By decomposing the random walk path, we construct a multitype branching process with immigration in random environment for corresponding random walk with bounded jumps in random environment. Then we give two applications of the branching…

We extend the notions of topological stability, shadowing and persistence from homeomorphisms to finitely generated group actions on uniform spaces and prove that an expansive action with either shadowing or persistence is topologically…

This paper is a sequel to Chaika and Krishnan [arXiv:1612.00434]. We again consider translation invariant measures on families of nearest-neighbor semi-infinite walks on the integer lattice Z^d. We assume that once walks meet, they…

We develop a geometric framework to address asymptoticity and nonexpansivity in topological dynamics. Our framework can be applied when the acting group is second countable and locally compact. As an application, we show extensions of…

In the current paper Fokker Planck model of random walks has been extended to non conservative cases characterized by explicit dependence of diffusion and energy on time. A given generalization allows describing of such non equilibrium…

Two measures of how near an arbitrary function between groups is to being a homomorphism are considered. These have properties similar to conjugates and commutators. The authors show that there is a rich theory based on these structures,…

In this article we study the expanding properties of random perturbations of contracting Lorenz maps satisfying the summability condition of exponent 1. Under general conditions on the maps and perturbation types, we prove stochastic…

The Ricci version of the Schur theorem is shown to hold for a wide class of Finsler metrics. What is more, let $F$ be any (positive definite) Finsler metric such that $\text{Ric} =\rho F^2$ with $\rho\colon M^n\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ (i.e.,…

In [1], the authors consider a random walk $(Z_{n,1},\ldots,Z_{n,K+1})\in \mathbb{Z}^{K+1}$ with the constraint that each coordinate of the walk is at distance one from the following one. A functional central limit theorem for the first…

We describe a new construction of a family of measures on a group with the same Poisson boundary. Our approach is based on applying Markov stopping times to an extension of the original random walk.

We describe all countable particle systems on $\mathbb{R}$ which have the following three properties: independence, Gaussianity and stationarity. More precisely, we consider particles on the real line starting at the points of a Poisson…

We give a systematic account of iterated function systems (IFS) of weak contractions of different types (Browder, Rakotch, topological). We show that the existence of attractors and asymptotically stable invariant measures, and the validity…

In his 1985 paper Sullivan sketched a proof of his structural stability theorem for differentiable group actions satisfying certain expansion-hyperbolicity axioms. In this paper we relax Sullivan's axioms and introduce a notion of…

In this paper, we construct a semigroup associated to an action of countable discrete group on a compact Hausdorff space, that can be regarded as a higher dimensional generalization of the type semigroup. Using this generalized type…
