We construct a Poincar\'e section for the horocycle flow on the modular surface $SL(2, \R)/SL(2, \Z)$, and study the associated first return map, which coincides with a transformation (the {\it BCZ map}) defined by Boca-Cobeli-Zaharescu. We…
We prove that the return map of the unstable horocycle flow on the space of horizontally short translation surfaces associated to a lattice surface $(X, \omega)$ is weakly mixing. This extends a result of Cheung-Quas for the square torus to…
We investigate the properties of the BCZ map. Based on our findings, we define the moduli space associated with its excursions. Subsequently, we utilize the framework we build to establish a discretized analog of the Riemann hypothesis (RH)…
The celebrated Birkhoff Ergodic Theorem asserts that, for an ergodic map, orbits of almost every point equidistributes when sampled at integer times. This result was generalized by Bourgain to many natural sparse subsets of the integers. On…
The Farey sequence $\mathcal{F}(Q)$ at level $Q$ is the sequence of irreducible fractions in $[0, 1]$ with denominators not exceeding $Q$, arranged in increasing order of magnitude. A simple ``next-term'' algorithm exists for generating the…
The question we deal with here, which was presented to us by Joe Auslander and Anima Nagar, is whether there is a nontrivial cascade (X,T) whose enveloping semigroup, as a dynamical system, is topologically weakly mixing (WM). After an…
It is an open question in smooth ergodic theory whether there exists a Hamiltonian disk map with zero topological entropy and (strong) mixing dynamics. Weak mixing has been known since Anosov and Katok first constructed examples in 1970.…
In 2010, Weixiao Shen pointed out to us that the proof of Theorem 3.2 of our 2002 paper in Ann ENS was flawed, and he kindly provided an argument to fix this proof. (We do not make claims on the lower bounds for the stationary density…
We give an example of a weakly mixing vector field $b\in L^\infty([0,1],\text{BV}(\mathbb{T}^2))$ which is not strongly mixing. The example is based on a work of Chacon who constructed a weakly mixing automorphism which is not strongly…
The heterochaos baker maps are piecewise affine maps of the unit square or cube introduced in [Nonlinearity 34, 2021, 5744--5761], to provide a hands-on, elementary understanding of complicated phenomena in systems of large degrees of…
This text is an introduction to the author's cohomological approach, based on Hodge theory, to (effective) unique ergodicity and weak mixing of translation flows. Compared to earlier expositions, it emphasizes the analogy between the two…
Burdzy and Chen (1998) proved results on weak convergence of multidimensional normally reflected Brownian motions. We generalize their work by considering obliquely reflected diffusion processes. We require weak convergence of domains,…
In this manuscript we develop a theory of mixing and weakly mixing in the study of dynamics of holomorphic correspondences defined on a compact connected complex manifold. We also connect these notions to the theory of ergodicity of…
We investigate mixing properties of piecewise affine non-Markovian maps acting on $[0,1]^2$ or $[0,1]^3$ and preserving the Lebesgue measure, which are natural generalizations of the {\it heterochaos baker maps} introduced in [Y. Saiki, H.…
Coupled map lattices (CMLs) are often used to study emergent phenomena in nature. It is typically assumed (unrealistically) that each component is described by the same map, and it is important to relax this assumption. In this paper, we…
Notions of weak and uniformly weak mixing (to zero) are defined for bounded sequences in arbitrary Banach spaces. Uniformly weak mixing for vector sequences is characterized by mean ergodic convergence properties. For bounded sequences,…
Akin and Kolyada in 2003 [E. Akin, S. Kolyada, Li-Yorke sensitivity, Nonlinearity 16 (2003) 1421 - 1433] introduced the notion of Li-Yorke sensitivity. They proved that every weak mixing system $(X, T)$, where $X$ is a compact metric space…
We develop a new approach to formulate and prove the weak uncertainty inequality which was recently introduced by Okoudjou and Strichartz. We assume either an appropriate measure growth condition with respect to the effective resistance…
We introduce two parametrized families of piecewise affine maps on $[0,1]^2$ and $[0,1]^3$, as generalizations of the heterochaos baker maps which were introduced and investigated in [Y. Saiki, H. Takahasi, J. A. Yorke, Nonlinearity, 34…
We consider the density properties of divergence-free vector fields $ b \in L^1([0,1],\textit{BV}([0,1]^2)) $ which are ergodic/weakly mixing/strongly mixing: this means that their Regular Lagrangian Flow $X_t$ is an ergodic/weakly…
