Unipotent flows are well-behaved dynamical systems. In particular, Marina Ratner has shown that the closure of every orbit for such a flow is of a nice algebraic (or geometric) form. After presenting some consequences of this important…
We study a class of geometric Lorenz flows, introduced independently by Afraimovic, Bykov & Sil'nikov and by Guckenheimer & Williams, and give a verifiable condition for such flows to be mixing. As a consequence, we show that the classical…
In this paper we consider the steepest descent L2-gradient flow of the entropy functional. The flow expands convex curves, with the radius of an initial circle growing like the square root of time. Our main result is that, for any initial…
We show the flexibility of the metric entropy and obtain additional restrictions on the topological entropy of geodesic flow on closed surfaces of negative Euler characteristic with smooth non-positively curved Riemannian metrics with fixed…
It is well known that the Lorenz system has $Z_2$-symmetry. Using introducted in math.DS/0105147 topological covering-coloring a new representation for the Lorenz system is obtained. Deleting coloring leads to the factorized Lorenz system…
We prove that if a smooth vector field $F$ of $S^3$ generates a sufficiently complicated heteroclinic knot, the flow also generates infinitely many periodic orbits, which persist under smooth perturbations which preserve the heteroclinic…
We study a notion of relative entropy motivated by self-expanders of mean curvature flow. In particular, we obtain the existence of this quantity for arbitrary hypersurfaces trapped between two disjoint self-expanders asymptotic to the same…
We develop a forcing theory of topological entropy for Reeb flows in dimension $3$. A transverse link $L$ in a closed contact $3$-manifold $(Y,\xi)$ is said to force topological entropy if $(Y,\xi)$ admits a Reeb flow with vanishing…
The notion of entropy appears in many fields and this paper is a survey about entropies in several branches of Mathematics. We are mainly concerned with the topological and the algebraic entropy in the context of continuous endomorphisms of…
We describe some recent results on the dynamics of singular-hyperbolic (or Lorenz-like) attractors: attractors in this class are expansive and so sensitive with respect to initial data; they admit a unique physical measure whose support is…
This paper investigates the dynamics of time-periodic Euler flows in multi-connected, planar fluid regions which are ``stirred'' by the moving boundaries. The classical Helmholtz theorem on the transport of vorticity implies that if the…
In analogy to the topological entropy for continuous endomorphisms of totally disconnected locally compact groups, we introduce a notion of topological entropy for continuous endomorphisms of locally linearly compact vector spaces. We study…
It has long been conjectured that the classical Lorenz attractor supports a unique measure of maximal entropy. In this article, we give a positive answer to this conjecture and its higher-dimensional counterpart by considering the…
We prove exponential decay of correlations for a class of $C^{1+\alpha}$ uniformly hyperbolic skew product flows, subject to a uniform nonintegrability condition. In particular, this establishes exponential decay of correlations for an open…
The properties common to the Lorenz and Chen attractors, as well as their fundamental differences, have been studied for many years in a vast number of works and remain a topic far from a rigorous and complete description. In this paper we…
We consider a one parameter family of Lorenz maps indexed by their point of discontinuity $p$ and constructed from a pair of bilipschitz functions. We prove that their topological entropies vary continuously as a function of $p$ and discuss…
We give a notion of entropy for general gemetric structures, which generalizes well-known notions of topological entropy of vector fields and geometric entropy of foliations, and which can also be applied to singular objects, e.g. singular…
In the present work we consider the behavior of the geodesic flow on the unit tangent bundle of the 2-torus $T^2$ for an arbitrary Riemannian metric. A natural non-negative quantity which measures the complexity of the geodesic flow is the…
The parameter changes resulting from a combination of Lorentz transformation are shown to form vector field flows. The exact, finite Thomas rotation angle is determined and interpreted intuitively. Using phase portraits, the parameters…
We present a multidimensional flow exhibiting a Rovella-like attractor: a transitive invariant set with a non-Lorenz-like singularity accumulated by regular orbits and a multidimensional non-uniformly expanding invariant direction.…
