Ergodic optimization and discrete weak KAM theory are two parallel theories with several results in common. For instance, the Mather set is the locus of orbits which minimize the ergodic averages of a given observable. In the favorable…

In this paper, we consider the question of existence and uniqueness of absolutely continuous invariant measures for expanding $C^1$ maps of the circle. This is a question which arises naturally from results which are known in the case of…

We extend the theory of ergodic optimization and maximizing measures to the non-commutative field of C*-dynamical systems. We then employ this ergodic optimization machinery to provide an alternate characterization of unique erogdicity of…

We define a continued fraction map associated with the $\mathfrak o(\sqrt{-3})$-module $\mathcal J = \eta \cdot\mathfrak o(\sqrt{-3})$, $\eta = \frac{3 + \sqrt{-3}}{2}$, which is an Eisenstein field version of the continued fraction map…

A unified view is given to recent developments about a systematic method of constructing rational mappings as ergodic transformations with non-uniform invariant measures on the unit interval I=[0,1]. All of the rational ergodic mappings of…

We prove a pointwise ergodic theorem for quasi-probability-measure-preserving (quasi-pmp) locally countable measurable graphs, equivalently, Schreier graphs of quasi-pmp actions of countable groups. For ergodic graphs, the theorem gives an…

Quantum ergodicity asserts that almost all infinite sequences of eigenstates of a quantized ergodic system are equidistributed in the phase space. On the other hand, there are might exist exceptional sequences which converge to different…

We construct exponential maps for which the singular value tends to infinity under iterates while the maps are ergodic. This is in contrast with a result of Lyubich from 1987 which tells that $e^z$ is not ergodic.

We study a skew product IFS on the cylinder defined by Baker-like maps associated to a finite family of potential functions and the doubling map. We show that there exist a compact invariant set with attractive behavior and a random SRB…

This paper investigates the ergodicity of Markov--Feller semigroups on Polish spaces, focusing on very weak regularity conditions, particularly the Ces\`aro eventual continuity. First, it is showed that the Ces\`aro average of such…

We study the long-term behavior of the iteration of a random map consisting of Lipschitz transformations on a compact metric space, independently and randomly selected according to a fixed probability measure. Such a random map is said to…

We consider volume-preserving flows $(\Phi^f_t)_{t\in\mathbb{R}}$ on $S\times \mathbb{R}$, where $S$ is a closed connected surface of genus $g\geq 2$ and $(\Phi^f_t)_{t\in\mathbb{R}}$ has the form $\Phi^f_t(x,y)=(\phi_tx,y+\int_0^t…

We describe Gauss-type maps as geometric realizations of certain codes in the monoid of nonnegative matrices in the extended modular group. Each such code, together with an appropriate choice of unimodular intervals in P^1R, determines a…

We study a stability property of probability laws with respect to small violations of algorithmic randomness. A sufficient condition of stability is presented in terms of Schnorr tests of algorithmic randomness. Most probability laws, like…

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,…

This paper investigates the quadratic irrationals that arise as periodic points of the Gauss type shift associated to the odd continued fraction expansion. It is shown that these numbers, which we call O-reduced, when ordered by the length…

We develop operator renewal theory for flows and apply this to infinite ergodic theory. In particular we obtain results on mixing for a large class of infinite measure semiflows. Examples of systems covered by our results include…
