We prove a $C^1$ version of a conjecture by Pugh and Shub: among partially hyperbolic volume-preserving $C^r$ diffeomorphisms, $r>1$, the stably ergodic ones are $C^1$-dense. To establish these results, we develop new perturbation tools for…

Let $M$ be a closed, oriented, and connected Riemannian $n$-manifold, for $n\ge 2$, which is not a rational homology sphere. We show that, for a non-constant and non-injective uniformly quasiregular self-map $f\colon M\to M$, the…

The relative entropy of the massive free bosonic field theory is studied on various compact Riemann surfaces as a universal quantity with physical significance, in particular, for gravitational phenomena. The exact expression for the sphere…

In the case of a linear symplectic map A of the 2d-torus, semiclassical measures are A-invariant probability measures associated to sequences of high energy quantum states. Our main result is an explicit lower bound on the entropy of any…

Let $M$ be a smooth compact manifold (maybe with boundary, maybe disconnected) of any dimension $d \ge 1$. We consider the set of $C^1$ maps $f:M\to M$ which have no absolutely continuous (with respect to Lebesgue) invariant probability…

The Lyapunov spectra of random U(1) extensions of expanding maps on the torus were investigated in our previous work [NW2015]. Using the result, we extend the recent spectral approach for quenched limit theorems for expanding maps…

We consider the ergodic theory of plane rational maps that preserve the natural holomorphic volume form on the algebraic torus. Specifically we construct natural invariant probability measures for a large class of such maps by intersecting…

Riemannian Manifolds may be $C^{1,1}$ and the geometry of these manifolds is investigated in \cite{Groah1}. Here, a similar analysis is given for pseudohermitian, torsion-free manifolds whereby, instead of assuming that the metric is…

We show that the entropy of a finitely generated pseudogroup (resp., of a foliation of a compact Riemannian manifold) can be calculated by suitable counting separated pseudo-orbits (resp., pseudoleaves).

We show that certain C*-algebras which have been studied among others by Arzumanian, Vershik, Deaconu, and Renault in connection to a measure preserving transformation of a measure space and/or to a covering map of a compact space are…

Almost-isometries are quasi-isometries with multiplicative constant one. Lifting a pair of metrics on a compact space gives quasi-isometric metrics on the universal cover. Under some additional hypotheses on the metrics, we show that there…

We extend the theory of Patterson-Sullivan measure to any regular covering of a compact manifold using the Busemann compactification and derive an integral formula for the volume entropy. As applications we prove some rigidity theorems for…

The topological entropy of piecewise affine maps is studied. It is shown that singularities may contribute to the entropy only if there is angular expansion and we bound the entropy via the expansion rates of the map. As a corollary we…

On a one-sided shift of finite type we prove that for a generic Holder continuous function there is a unique maximizing measure. We show that b-Holder continuous functions can be approximated in the a-Holder topology, a<b, by a function…

Given a countable sofic group $\Gamma$, a finite alphabet $A$, a subshift $X \subseteq A^\Gamma$, and a potential $\phi: X \to \mathbb{R}$, we give sufficient conditions on $X$ and $\phi$ for expressing, in the uniqueness regime, the sofic…

Let $(M,g)$ be a compact, boundaryless, Riemannian manifold whose geodesic flow on its unit sphere bundle is Anosov. Consider the (semiclassical) Laplace-Beltrami operator on $M$. Let $\epsilon >0$. We study the semiclassical measures…

We consider submanifolds of sub-Riemannian Carnot groups with intrinsic $C^1$ regularity ($C^1_H$). Our first main result is an area formula for $C^1_H$ intrinsic graphs; as an application, we deduce density properties for Hausdorff…

We construct symbolic dynamics on sets of full measure (w.r.t. an ergodic measure of positive entropy) for $C^{1+\epsilon}$ flows on compact smooth three-dimensional manifolds. One consequence is that the geodesic flow on the unit tangent…

We show that the existence of physical measures for $C^\infty$ smooth instances of certain partially hyperbolic dynamics, both continuous and discrete, exhibiting mixed behavior (positive and negative Lyapunov exponents) along the central…

We prove that $\mathcal{C}^r$ maps with $r>1$ on a compact surface have symbolic extensions, i.e. topological extensions which are subshifts over a finite alphabet. More precisely we give a sharp upper bound on the so-called symbolic…
