In this paper, we expand on results from our previous paper "The Case Against Smooth Null Infinity I: Heuristics and Counter-Examples" [1] by showing that the failure of "peeling" (and, thus, of smooth null infinity) in a neighbourhood of…

We study the regularity of a conjugacy $H$ between a hyperbolic toral automorphism $A$ and its smooth perturbation $f$ We show that if $H$ is weakly differentiable then it is $C^{1+H\"older}$ and, if $A$ is also weakly irreducible, then $H$…

Conditions are given which imply that certain non-autonomous analytic iterated function systems (NIFS's) in the complex plane C have uniformly perfect attractor sets. Examples are given to illustrate the main theorem, as well as to indicate…

Let $\Phi$ be a $C^{1+\gamma}$ smooth IFS on $\mathbb{R}$, where $\gamma>0$. We provide mild conditions on the derivative cocycle that ensure that every self conformal measure is supported on points $x$ that are absolutely normal. That is,…

We consider iterated function systems $\mathrm{IFS}(T_1,\dots,T_k)$ consisting of continuous self maps of a compact metric space $X$. We introduce the subset $S_{\mathrm{t}}$ of {\emph{weakly hyperbolic sequences}} $\xi=\xi_0\ldots\xi_n…

In this paper we consider Iterated Function Systems (IFS) on the real line consisting of continuous piecewise linear functions. We assume some bounds on the contraction ratios of the functions, but we do not assume any separation condition.…

Conditions are given which imply that certain non-autonomous analytic iterated function systems (NIFS's) in the complex plane have uniformly perfect attractor sets, while other conditions imply the attractor is pointwise thin, and thus…

We establish a theory for the existence and regularity of solutions to the cohomological equation over an accessible, partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism. As a by-product of our techniques, we show that for $r>1$, any $C^r$ homogeneous,…

If two homogeneous IFSs satisfying the OSC with opposite common contraction factors share the same attractor on the real line, we show that this attractor is symmetric. This answers a question of Feng and Wang [Adv. Math. 222 (2009),…

Let M be a closed 3-manifold that supports a partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism f. If $\pi_1(M)$ is nilpotent, the induced action of f on $H_1(M, R)$ is partially hyperbolic. If $\pi_1(M)$ is almost nilpotent or if $\pi_1(M)$ has…

Let $\mathcal{I} \subset \mathbb{N}$ be an infinite subset, and let $\{a_i\}_{i \in \mathcal{I}}$ be a sequence of nonzero real numbers indexed by $\mathcal{I}$ such that there exist positive constants $m, C_1$ for which $|a_i| \leq C_1…

In this paper we study Holder continuous linear cocycles over transitive Anosov diffeomorphisms. Under various conditions of relative pinching we establish properties including existence and continuity of measurable invariant sub-bundles…

We show that any measurable solution of the cohomological equation for a H\"older linear cocycle over a hyperbolic system coincides almost everywhere with a H\"older solution. More generally, we show that every measurable invariant…

We perform a detailed analysis of the solvability of linear strain equations on hyperbolic surfaces. We prove that if the surface is a smooth noncharacteristic region, any first order infinitesimal isometry can be matched to an…

In this paper, we study the differentiability of SRB measures for partially hyperbolic systems. We show that for any $s \geq 1$, for any integer $\ell \geq 2$, any sufficiently large $r$, any $\varphi \in C^{r}(\T, \R)$ such that the map $f…

This paper considers self-conformal iterated function systems (IFSs) on the real line whose first level cylinders overlap. In the space of self-conformal IFSs, we show that generically (in topological sense) if the attractor of such a…

We define a general class of superconformal inflationary attractor models studied in our previous papers [1,2], which include, among others, inflationary models of 'induced gravity' which were argued to retain perturbative unitarity up to…

We show that any noncompact oriented surface is homeomorphic to the leaf of a minimal foliation of a closed $3$-manifold. These foliations are (or are covered by) suspensions of continuous minimal actions of surface groups on the circle.…

We propose a `phase diagram' for particulate systems that interact via purely repulsive contact forces, such as granular media and colloidal suspensions. We identify and characterize two distinct classes of behavior as a function of the…
