Related papers: Two remarks on the Shrinking Target Property

This paper defines and describes a few (related) notions of shrinking target property. We show that simultaneous expanding circle maps have a certain shrinking target property, but that circle homeomorphisms and isometries of complete,…

In this paper we prove reducibility of classes of linear first order operators on tori by applying a generalization of Moser's theorem on straightening of vector fields on a torus. We consider vector fields which are a $C^\infty$…

We investigate a class of area preserving non-uniformly hyperbolic maps of the two torus. First we establish some results on the regularity of the invariant foliations, then we use this knowledge to estimate the rate of mixing.

Let $(X,d)$ be a compact metric space and $(X,\mathcal{A},\mu,T)$ a measure preserving dynamical system. Furthermore, given a real, positive function $\psi$, let $W(T, \psi)$ and $ R(T,\psi) $ respectively denote the shrinking target set…

Let $T$ be a $d\times d$ matrix with real coefficients. Then $T$ determines a self-map of the $d$-dimensional torus ${\Bbb T}^d={\mathbb{R}}^d/{\Bbb Z}^d$. Let $ \{E_n \}_{n \in \mathbb{N}} $ be a sequence of subsets of ${\Bbb T}^d$ and let…

We consider the set $\mathcal{R}_\mathrm{io}$ of points returning infinitely many times to a sequence of shrinking targets around themselves. Under additional assumptions we improve Boshernitzan's pioneering result on the speed of…

Invariant tori are prominent features of symplectic and volume preserving maps. From the point of view of chaotic transport the most relevant tori are those that are barriers, and thus have codimension one. For an $n$-dimensional…

If a real-analytic flow on the multidimensional torus close enough to linear has a unique rotation vector which satisfies an arithmetical condition Y, then it is analytically conjugate to linear. We show this by proving that the orbit under…

Square-tiled surfaces are a class of translation surfaces that are of particular interest in geometry and dynamics because, as covers of the square torus, they share some of its simplicity and structure. In this paper, we study counting…

We investigate projective properties of Lorentzian surfaces. In particular, we prove that if T is a non flat torus, then the index of its isometry group in its projective group is at most two. We also prove that any topologically finite…

We study a shrinking target problem on square-tiled surfaces. We show that the action of a subgroup of the Veech group of a regular square-tiled surface exhibits Diophantine properties. This generalizes the work of Finkelshtein, who studied…

Let R be a locally finitely generated algebra over a discrete valuation ring V of mixed characteristic. For any of the homological properties, the Direct Summand Theorem, the Monomial Theorem, the Improved New Intersection Theorem, the…

We consider both geometric and measure-theoretic shrinking targets for ergodic maps, investigating when they are visible or invisible. Some Baire category theorems are proved, and particular constructions are given when the underlying map…

A planar polygonal billiard $\P$ is said to have the finite blocking property if for every pair $(O,A)$ of points in $\P$ there exists a finite number of ``blocking'' points $B_1, ..., B_n$ such that every billiard trajectory from $O$ to…

We investigate Gauss maps of (not necessarily normal) projective toric varieties over an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic. The main results are as follows: (1) The structure of the Gauss map of a toric variety is…

We construct area-preserving real analytic diffeomorphisms of the torus with unbounded growth sequences of arbitrarily slow growth.

The phase space of an integrable, volume-preserving map with one action and $d$ angles is foliated by a one-parameter family of $d$-dimensional invariant tori. Perturbations of such a system may lead to chaotic dynamics and transport. We…

In this paper, we introduce a generalized notion of monotone property and prove some results regarding existence and uniqueness of multi-tupled fixed points for nonlinear contraction mappings satisfying monotone property in ordered complete…

In this paper, we prove that if $X,Y$ are continuous, Sobolev vector fields with bounded divergence on the real plane and $[X,Y]=0$, then their flows commute. In particular, we improve the previous result of Colombo-Tione (2021), where the…

We show that Killing tensors on conformally flat $n$-dimensional tori whose conformal factor only depends on one variable, are polynomials in the metric and in the Killing vector fields. In other words, every first integral of the geodesic…
