Let A be a locally compact group topologically generated by d elements and let k>d. Consider the action, by pre-composition, of Aut(F_k) on the set of marked, k-generated, dense subgroups D_{k,A} := {h:F_k --> A | h(F_k) is dense in A}. We…

We consider dynamics of scalar semilinear parabolic equations on bounded intervals with periodic boundary conditions, and on the entire real line, with a general nonlinearity $g(t,x,u,u_x)$ either not depending on $t$, or periodic in $t$.…

We obtain a spectral gap characterization of strongly ergodic equivalence relations on standard measure spaces. We use our spectral gap criterion to prove that a large class of skew-product equivalence relations arising from measurable…

We study recurrence and ergodicity of cocycles with values in R d , d $\ge$ 1, over rotations by badly approximable irrational numbers on T $\rho$ , $\rho$ \> 1. The discontinuities of the functions generating the cocycles also satisfy a…

We study distribution of orbits sampled at polynomial times for uniquely ergodic topological dynamical systems $(X, T)$. First, we prove that if there exists an increasing sequence $(q_n)$ for which the rigidity condition \[…

In this paper we present a conditional proof of Wojtkowski's Ergodicity Conjecture for the system of 1D perfectly elastic balls falling down in a half line under constant gravitational acceleration. Namely, we prove that almost every such…

We continue our study of the dynamics of mappings with small topological degree on (projective) complex surfaces. Previously, under mild hypotheses, we have constructed an ergodic ``equilibrium'' measure for each such mapping. Here we study…

We discuss sufficient conditions that guarantee the existence of asymptotic expansions for the Central Limit Theorem for weakly dependent random variables including observations arising from sufficiently chaotic dynamical systems like…

We show that, for any compact surface, there is a residual (dense $G_\delta$) set of $C^1$ area preserving diffeomorphisms which either are Anosov or have zero Lyapunov exponents a.e. This result was announced by R. Mane, but no proof was…

A concept of emergence was recently introduced in the paper [Berger] in order to quantify the richness of possible statistical behaviors of orbits of a given dynamical system. In this paper, we develop this concept and provide several new…

Deterministic dynamical systems such as the baker maps are useful to shed light on some of the conditions verified by deterministic models in non-equilibrium statistical physics. We investigate a 2D dynamical system, enjoying a weak form of…

This paper deals with random dynamical systems of polynomial automorphisms (complex generalized H\'{e}non maps and their conjugate maps) of $\Bbb{C}^{2}.$ We show that a generic random dynamical system of polynomial automorphisms has ``mean…

We study strictly ergodic Delone dynamical systems and prove an ergodic theorem for Banach space valued functions on the associated set of pattern classes. As an application, we prove existence of the integrated density of states in the…

In this paper, we study the ergodicity of a one-parameter diagonalizable subgroup of a connected semisimple real algebraic group $G$ acting on a homogeneous space or, more generally, a homogeneous-like space, equipped with a…

Let $1 < p < \infty$, $p\neq 2$. We prove that if $d\geq d_p$ is sufficiently large, and $A\subs\R^d$ is a measurable set of positive upper density then there exists $\la_0=\la_0(A)$ such for all $\la\geq\la_0$ there are $x,y\in\R^d$ such…

For a product of i.i.d. random maps or a memoryless stochastic flow on a compact space $X$, we find conditions under which the presence of locally asymptotically stable trajectories (e.g. as given by negative Lyapunov exponents) implies…

We introduce the concepts of Baire Ergodicity and Ergodic Formalism, employing them to study topological and statistical attractors. Specifically, we establish the existence and finiteness of such attractors and provide applications for…

We show that a class of higher-dimensional hyperbolic endomorphisms admit absolutely continuous invariant probabilities whose density are regular. The maps we consider are given by $T(x,y) = (E (x), C(y) + f(x) )$, where $E$ is a linear…

We study ergodic properties of a family of traffic maps acting in the space of bi-infinite sequences of real numbers. The corresponding dynamics mimics the motion of vehicles in a simple traffic flow, which explains the name. Using…

We study two properties of nonsingular and infinite measure-preserving ergodic systems: weak double ergodicity, and ergodicity with isometric coefficients. We show that there exist infinite measure-preserving transformations that are…
