The Sinai billiard map $T$ on the two-torus, i.e., the periodic Lorentz gas, is a discontinuous map. Assuming finite horizon, we propose a definition $h_*$ for the topological entropy of $T$. We prove that $h_*$ is not smaller than the…

We prove that for some manifolds $M$ the set of robustly transitive partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms of $M$ with one-dimensional nonhyperbolic centre direction contains a $C^1$-open and dense subset of diffeomorphisms with nonhyperbolic…

In this paper, we show that the low energy spaces in the prescribed singularity case $\mathcal{E}_{\psi}(X,\theta,\phi)$ have a natural topology which is completely metrizable. This topology is stronger than convergence in capacity.

Can the joint measures of quenched disordered lattice spin models (with finite range) on the product of spin-space and disorder-space be represented as (suitably generalized) Gibbs measures of an ``annealed system''? - We prove that there…

We establish the large deviation principle for a topological Markov shift over infinite alphabet which satisfies strong combinatorial assumptions called ``finite irreducibility'' or ``finite primitiveness''. More precisely, we assume the…

We study several notions of topological pressure and capacities for multi-potentials $\Phi \in \mathcal C(X;\mathbb R)^m$, with respect to finitely generated continuous semigroups $G$ on a compact metric space $X$. We introduce the…

We define and prove existence of fractional $P(\phi)_1$-processes as random processes generated by fractional Schr\"odinger semigroups with Kato-decomposable potentials. Also, we show that the measure of such a process is a Gibbs measure…

We consider Gibbs distributions on permutations of a locally finite infinite set $X\subset\mathbb{R}$, where a permutation $\sigma$ of $X$ is assigned (formal) energy $\sum_{x\in X}V(\sigma(x)-x)$. This is motivated by Feynman's path…

We prove that every infinite minimal subshift with word complexity $p(q)$ satisfying $\limsup p(q)/q < 3/2$ is measure-theoretically isomorphic to its maximal equicontinuous factor; in particular, it has measurably discrete spectrum. Among…

Suppose that $S_1$ and $S_2$ are nonempty subsets of a complete metric space $(\mathcal{M},d)$ and $\phi,\psi:S_1\to S_2$ are mappings. The aim of this work is to investigate some conditions on $\phi$ and $\psi$ such that the two functions,…

Many Gibbs measures with mean field interactions are known to be chaotic, in the sense that any collection of $k$ particles in the $n$-particle system are asymptotically independent, as $n\to\infty$ with $k$ fixed or perhaps $k=o(n)$. This…

In the context of geodesic flows of noncompact negatively curved manifolds, we propose three different definitions of entropy and pressure at infinity, through growth of periodic orbits, critical exponents of Poincar\'e series, and entropy…

Given an affine variety $X$, a morphism $\phi:X\to X$, a point $\alpha\in X$, and a Zariski closed subset $V$ of $X$, we show that the forward $\phi$-orbit of $\alpha$ meets $V$ in at most finitely many infinite arithmetic progressions, and…

S-metric and b-metric spaces are metrizable, but it is still quite impossible to get an explicit form of the concerned metric function. To overcome this, the notion of $\phi$-metric is developed by making a suitable modification in triangle…

We establish quantitative results for the statistical be\-ha\-vi\-our of \emph{infinite systems}. We consider two kinds of infinite system: i) a conservative dynamical system $(f,X,\mu)$ preserving a $\sigma$-finite measure $\mu$ such that…

We study skew-products of the form (x,\omega)\mapsto (Tx, \omega+\phi(x)) where T is a nonuniformly expanding map on a space X, preserving a (possibly singular) probability measure \tilde\mu, and \phi:X\to S^1 is a C^1 function. Under mild…

Using approximation by continuous functions we prove the following statements to types of tightness in a space $Q_p(X, \mathbb{R})$ of all quasicontinuous real-valued functions with the topology $\tau_p$ of pointwise convergence: the…

In the case when $X$ is a sofic shift and $\phi : X \to X$ is a homeomorphism such that $\phi^2 = \text{id}_X$ and $\phi \sigma_X = \sigma_X^{-1} \phi$, the number of points in $X$ that are fixed by $\sigma_X^m$ and $\sigma_X^n \phi$,…

Given an equilibrium state $\mu$ for a continuous function $f$ on a shift of finite type $X$, the pressure of $f$ is the integral, with respect to $\mu$, of the sum of $f$ and the information function of $\mu$. We show that under certain…

We show that if $y=(y_n)_{n\ge 1}$ is a bounded sequence with zero average along every infinite arithmetic progression then for every $N\ge 2$ there exist (unilateral or bilateral) subshifts $\Sigma$ over $N$ symbols, with entropy…
