We extend the results of our 2020 paper in the Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa, Classe di Scienze. There, we associated to each of an infinite family of triangle Fuchsian groups a one-parameter family of continued fraction…
We consider a one-parameter family of expanding interval maps $\{T_{\alpha}\}_{\alpha \in [0,1]}$ (japanese continued fractions) which include the Gauss map ($\alpha=1$) and the nearest integer and by-excess continued fraction maps…
We study a family of Bowen-Series-like maps associated to any finitely generated Fuchsian group of the first kind with at least one cusp. These maps act on the boundary of the hyperbolic plane in a piecewise manner by generators of the…
We study the ergodic theory of a one-parameter family of interval maps T_alpha arising from generalized continued fraction algorithms. First of all, we prove the dependence of the metric entropy of T_alpha to be Hoelder-continuous in the…
We give continued fraction algorithms for a particular class of Fuchsian triangle groups. In particular, we give an explicit form of each such group that is a subgroup of the Hilbert modular group of its trace field and provide an interval…
We study an infinite family of one-parameter deformations, so-called $\alpha$-continued fractions, of interval maps associated to distinct triangle Fuchsian groups. In general for such one-parameter deformations, the function giving the…
We consider some classes of piecewise expanding maps in finite dimensional spaces having invariant probability measures which are absolutely continuous with respect to Lebesgue measure. We derive an entropy formula for such measures and,…
As a natural counterpart to Nakada's $\alpha$-continued fraction maps, we study a one-parameter family of continued fraction transformations with an indifferent fixed point. We prove that matching holds for Lebesgue almost every parameter…
We define two types of the $\alpha$-Farey maps $F_{\alpha}$ and $F_{\alpha, \flat}$ for $0 < \alpha < \tfrac{1}{2}$, which were previously defined only for $\tfrac{1}{2} \le \alpha \le 1$ by R.~Natsui (2004). Then, for each $0 < \alpha <…
In this paper we consider a class of continued fraction expansions: the so-called $N$-expansions with a finite digit set, where $N\geq 2$ is an integer. These \emph{$N$-expansions with a finite digit set} were introduced in [KL,L], and…
Given a closed, orientable surface of constant negative curvature and genus $g \ge 2$, we study the topological entropy and measure-theoretic entropy (with respect to a smooth invariant measure) of generalized Bowen--Series boundary maps.…
Given a closed, orientable surface of constant negative curvature and genus $g \ge 2$, we study a family of generalized Bowen-Series boundary maps and prove the following rigidity result: in this family the topological entropy is constant…
In this paper we present a uniform way to derive families of maps from the corresponding differential equations describing systems which experience periodic kicks. The families depend on a single parameter - the order of a differential…
In connection with the Entropy Conjecture it is known that the topological entropy of a continuous graph map is bounded from below by the spectral radius of the induced map on the first homology group. We show that in the case of a…
We study dynamical properties of generalized Bowen-Series boundary maps associated to cocompact torsion-free Fuchsian groups. These maps are defined on the unit circle (the boundary of the Poincar\'e disk) by the generators of the group and…
In this paper we discuss a coding and the associated symbolic dynamics for the geodesic flow on Hecke triangle surfaces. We construct an explicit cross section for which the first return map factors through a simple (explicit) map given in…
We give a new proof of Moeckel's result that for any finite index subgroup of the modular group, almost every real number has its regular continued fraction approximants equidistributed into the cusps of the subgroup according to the…
We study a two-parameter family of one-dimensional maps and related (a,b)-continued fractions suggested for consideration by Don Zagier. We prove that the associated natural extension maps have attractors with finite rectangular structure…
We consider the one-parameter family of interval maps arising from generalized continued fraction expansions known as alpha-continued fractions. For such maps, we perform a numerical study of the behaviour of metric entropy as a function of…
We study the asymptotical behaviour of iterates of piecewise contractive maps of the interval. It is known that Poincar\'e first return maps induced by some Cherry flows on transverse intervals are, up to topological conjugacy, piecewise…
