We consider smooth area-preserving flows (also known as locally Hamiltonian flows) on surfaces of genus $g\geq 1$ and study ergodic integrals of smooth observables along the flow trajectories. We show that these integrals display a…
We study the geodesic flow of a compact surface without conjugate points and genus greater than one and continuous Green bundles. Identifying each strip of bi-asymptotic geodesics induces an equivalence relation on the unit tangent bundle.…
In this paper we study the ergodic theory of the geodesic flow on negatively curved geometrically finite manifolds. We prove that the measure theoretic entropy is upper semicontinuous when there is no loss of mass. In case we are losing…
We prove that the geodesic flow for the Weil-Petersson metric on the moduli space of Riemann surfaces is ergodic (in fact Bernoulli) and has finite, positive metric entropy.
Under certain assumptions on CAT(0) spaces, we show that the geodesic flow is topologically mixing. In particular, the Bowen-Margulis' measure finiteness assumption used in recent work of Ricks is removed. We also construct examples of…
We introduce and study the barcode entropy for geodesic flows of closed Riemannian manifolds, which measures the exponential growth rate of the number of not-too-short bars in the Morse-theoretic barcode of the energy functional. We prove…
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…
A rank-one infinite measure preserving flow $T=(T_t)_{t\in\Bbb R}$ is constructed such that for each $t\ne 0$, the Cartesian powers of the transformation $T_t$ are all ergodic.
We investigate typical behavior of geodesics on a closed flat surface $S$ of genus $g\geq 2$. We compare the length quotient of long arcs in the same homotopy class with fixed endpoints for the flat and the hyperbolic metric in the same…
In the present paper we prove, that if the geodesic flow of a metric G on the torus T is quadratically integrable, then the torus T isometrically covers a torus with a Liouville metric on it, and describe the set of quadratically integrable…
We study a flow of $G_2$ structures which induce the same Riemannian metric which is the negative gradient flow of an energy functional. We prove Shi-type estimates for the torsion tensor along the flow. We show that at a finite-time…
Let $M$ be a smooth compact surface of nonpositive curvature, with genus $\geq 2$. We prove the ergodicity of the geodesic flow on the unit tangent bundle of $M$ with respect to the Liouville measure under the condition that the set of…
In this paper, we prove that if the geodesic flow of a complete manifold without conjugate points with sectional curvatures bounded below by $-c^2$ is of Anosov type, then the constant of contraction of the flow is $\geq e^{-c}$. Moreover,…
We study the Bernoulli property for a class of partially hyperbolic systems arising from skew products. More precisely, we consider a hyperbolic map $(T,M,\mu)$, where $\mu$ is a Gibbs measure, an aperiodic H\"older continuous cocycle…
For $\mathcal{O}$ a hyperbolic orientable 2-orbifold of genus $g$ with at most $2g+6$ conic points, we prove that the geodesic flow on the unitary tangent bundle$\mathrm{T}^1\mathcal{O}$ admits a Birkhoff section whose genus is one.…
In this paper we describe the topological behavior of the geodesic flow for a class of closed 3-manifolds realized as quotients of nonstrictly convex Hilbert geometries, constructed and described explicitly by Benoist. These manifolds are…
Let $\mathcal{T}$ be a locally finite tree, $\Gamma$ be a discrete subgroup of $\textrm{Aut}(\mathcal{T})$ and $\widetilde{F}$ be a $\Gamma$-invariant potential. Suppose that the length spectrum of $\Gamma$ is not arithmetic. In this case,…
We give a short proof of the unique ergodicity of the strong stable foliation of the geodesic flow on the frame bundle of a hyperbolic manifold admitting a finite measure of maximal entropy. Equivalently, let G = S0o(n, 1), $\Gamma$…
We study the recurrence and ergodicity for the billiard on noncompact polygonal surfaces with a free, cocompact action of $\Z$ or $\Z^2$. In the $\Z$-periodic case, we establish criteria for recurrence. In the more difficult $\Z^2$-periodic…
In this paper we provide a combinatorial tool to help study some topological properties of modular knots. We construct templates for the infinitely many Anosov flows on the trefoil complement, which are lifts of the geodesic flow on the…
