It is known that sectional-hyperbolic attracting sets, for a $C^2$ flow on a finite dimensional compact manifold, have at most finitely many ergodic physical invariant probability measures. We prove an upper bound for the number of distinct…
We consider an infinite dimensional diffusion on $T^{\mathbb Z^d}$, where $T$ is the circle, defined by an infinitesimal generator of the form $L=\sum_{i\in\mathbb Z^d}\left(\frac{a_i(\eta)}{2}\partial^2_i +b_i(\eta)\partial_i\right)$, with…
For a $C^{r}$ $(r>1)$ diffeomorphism on a compact manifold that admits a dominated splitting, this paper establishes the upper semi-continuity of the entropy map. More precisely, this paper establishes the upper semi-continuity of the…
On the space of unimodular lattices, we construct a sequence of invariant probability measures under a singular diagonal element with high entropy and show that the limit measure is 0.
Subshifts of deterministic substitutions are ubiquitous objects in dynamical systems and aperiodic order (the mathematical theory of quasicrystals). Two of their most striking features are that they have low complexity (zero topological…
We show that for a large class of maps on manifolds of arbitrary finite dimension, the existence of a Gibbs-Markov-Young structure (with Lebesgue as the reference measure) is a necessary as well as sufficient condition for the existence of…
Let $\Lambda$ be a complex manifold and let $(f_\lambda)_{\lambda\in \Lambda}$ be a holomorphic family of rational maps of degree $d\geq 2$ of $\mathbb{P}^1$. We define a natural notion of entropy of bifurcation, mimicking the classical…
We classify mapping class group invariant probability measures on the character varieties of Deroin-Tholozan representations, namely the compact components of relative $\mathrm{PSL}_2\mathbb{R}$-character varieties. We prove that an ergodic…
We construct measures of maximal $u$-entropy for any partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism that factors over an Anosov torus automorphism and has mostly contracting center direction. The space of such measures has a finite dimension, and its…
Bowen showed that a continuous expansive map with specification has a unique measure of maximal entropy. We show that the conclusion remains true under weaker non-uniform versions of these hypotheses. To this end, we introduce the notions…
Lyapunov exponents of a hyperbolic ergodic measure are approximated by Lyapunov exponents of hyperbolic atomic measures on periodic orbits.
We consider random perturbations of a topologically transitive local diffeomorphism of a Riemannian manifold. We show that if an absolutely continuous ergodic stationary measures is expanding (all Lyapunov exponents positive), then there is…
We calculate the spectrum of Lyapunov exponents for a point particle moving in a random array of fixed hard disk or hard sphere scatterers, i.e. the disordered Lorentz gas, in a generic nonequilibrium situation. In a large system which is…
In this paper we prove that every homeomorphism of a compact metric space admitting an invariant probability measure with full support can be approximated in the $C^0$-Gromov--Hausdorff topology by homeomorphisms with zero topological…
Given any compact connected manifold $M$, we describe $C^2$-open sets of iterated functions systems (IFS's) admitting fully-supported ergodic measures whose Lyapunov exponents along $M$ are all zero. Moreover, these measures are…
In this paper we study aspects of the ergodic theory of the geodesic flow on a non-compact negatively curved manifold. It is a well known fact that every continuous potential on a compact metric space has a maximizing measure.…
For hyperbolic systems with singularities, such as dispersing billiards, Pesin theory as developed by Katok and Strelcyn applies to measures that are "adapted" in the sense that they do not give too much weight to neighborhoods of the…

It follows from Oseledec Multiplicative Ergodic Theorem (or Kingmans Subadditional Ergodic Theorem) that the Lyapunov-irregular set of points for which the Oseledec averages of a given continuous cocycle diverge has zero measure with…
Lyapunov exponents describe the asymptotic behavior of the singular values of large products of random matrices. A direct computation of these exponents is however often infeasible. By establishing a link between Lyapunov exponents and an…
