Ergodic optimization aims to describe dynamically invariant probability measures that maximize the integral of a given function. The Dyck and Motzkin shifts are well-known examples of transitive subshifts over a finite alphabet that are not…
We give a necessary and sufficient condition on beta of the natural extension of a beta-shift, so that any equilibrium measure for a function of bounded total oscillations is a weak Gibbs measure.
We study invariant and bi-invariant metrics on groups focusing on finite groups $G$. We show that non-equivalent (bi) invariant metrics on $G$ are in 1-1 correspondence with unitary symmetric (conjugate) partitions on $G$. To every metric…
The Griddy Gibbs sampling was proposed by Ritter and Tanner (1992) as a computationally efficient approximation of the well-known Gibbs sampling method. The algorithm is simple and effective and has been used successfully to address…
We study the Gaussian measure whose covariance is related to the Anderson Hamiltonian operator, proving that it admits a regular coupling to the (standard) Gaussian free field exploiting the stochastic optimal control formulation of Gibbs…
We consider stochastic dynamics of lattice systems with finite local state space, possibly at low temperature, and possibly non-reversible. We assume the additional regularity properties on the dynamics: a) There is at least one stationary…
We consider the (scalar) gradient fields $\eta=(\eta_b)$--with $b$ denoting the nearest-neighbor edges in $\Z^2$--that are distributed according to the Gibbs measure proportional to $\texte^{-\beta H(\eta)}\nu(\textd\eta)$. Here…
We study invariant ergodic measures for quasiperiodically forced circle homeomorphisms and derive that either the system is uniquely ergodic or any such measure is associated to some invariant multigraph.
Let $T \colon M \to M$ be a nonuniformly expanding dynamical system, such as logistic or intermittent map. Let $v \colon M \to \mathbb{R}^d$ be an observable and $v_n = \sum_{k=0}^{n-1} v \circ T^k$ denote the Birkhoff sums. Given a…
A sufficient condition for the Gibbs states of a shift-invariant specification on a one-dimensional lattice to be the $g$-chains for some continuous function $g$ is obtained. This is then used to derive criteria under which there is a…
We study the selfsimilarity and the Gibbs properties of several measures defined on the product space $\Omega\_r:=\{0,1,...,\break r-1\}^{\mathbb N}$. This space can be identified with the interval $[0,1]$ by means of the numeration in base…
A subshift with linear block complexity has at most countably many ergodic measures, and we continue of the study of the relation between such complexity and the invariant measures. By constructing minimal subshifts whose block complexity…
We consider four-dimensional non-Abelian gauge theory living on a complex projective space $\mathbb{CP}^2$ as a way of gaining insights into (3+1)-dimensional QCD. In particular, we use a complex parametrization of gauge fields on which…
In this paper we consider a model with nearest-neighbor interactions and with the set $[0,1]$ of spin values, on a Cayley tree of order $k \geq 2$. To study translation-invariant Gibbs measures of the model we drive an nonlinear functional…
Ergodic optimization aims to describe dynamically invariant probability measures that maximize the integral of a given function. For a wide class of intrinsically ergodic subshifts over a finite alphabet, we show that the space of…
We consider self-affine tiling substitutions in Euclidean space and the corresponding tiling dynamical systems. It is well-known that in the primitive case the dynamical system is uniquely ergodic. We investigate invariant measures when the…
We study idempotent measures and the structure of the convolution semigroups of measures over definable groups. We isolate the property of generic transitivity and demonstrate that it is sufficient (and necessary) to develop stable group…
The multifractal formalism for measures hold whenever the existence of corresponding Gibbs-like measures supported on the singularities sets holds. In the present work we tried to relax such a hypothesis and introduce a more general…
We study the properties of a non-abelian gauge theory subjected to a gauge invariant constraint given by the classical equations of motion. The constraint is not imposed by hand, but appears naturally when we study a particular type of…
In this work we analyze the concept of swap-invariance, which is a weaker variant of exchangeability. A random vector $\xi$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ is called swap-invariant if $\,{\mathbf E}\,\big| \!\sum_j u_j \xi_j \big|\,$ is invariant under…
