We consider interval exchange transformations of periodic type and construct different classes of recurrent ergodic cocycles of dimension $\geq 1$ over this special class of IETs. Then using Poincaré sections we apply this construction to obtain recurrence and ergodicity for some smooth flows on non-compact manifolds which are extensions of multivalued Hamiltonian flows on compact surfaces.
In this paper, we first prove the strong Birkhoff Ergodic Theorem for subharmonic functions with the irrational shift on the Torus. Then, it is applied to the analytic quasi-periodic Jacobi cocycles. We show that if the Lyapunov exponent of these cocycles is positive at one point, then it is positive on an interval centered at this point for suitable frequency and coupling numbers. We also prove that the Lyapunov exponent is Hölder continuous in $E$ on this interval and calculate the expression of its length. What's more, if the coupling number of the potential is large, then the Lyapunov expo…
We establish a quantitative version of strong almost reducibility result for $\mathrm{sl}(2,\mathbb{R})$ quasi-periodic cocycle close to a constant in Gevrey class. We prove that, for the quasi-periodic Schrödinger operators with small Gevrey potentials, the length of spectral gaps decays sub-exponentially with respect to its labelling, the long range duality operator has pure point spectrum with sub-exponentially decaying eigenfunctions for almost all phases and the spectrum is an interval for discrete Schrödinger operator acting on $ \mathbb{Z}^d $ with small separable potentials. All these …
Let $d >1$. In this paper we show that for an irreducible permutation $π$ which is not a rotation, the set of $[λ]\in \mathbb{P}_+^{d-1}$ such that the interval exchange transformation $f([λ],π)$ is not weakly mixing does not have full Hausdorff dimension. We also obtain an analogous statement for translation flows. In particular, it strengthens the result of almost sure weak mixing proved by G. Forni and the first author. We adapt here the probabilistic argument developed in their paper in order to get some large deviation results. We then show how the latter can be converted into estimates o…
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 \emph{power deviation spectrum} and describe the cocycles that lead the pure power behaviour, giving a new proof of results by Forni (Annals 2002) and Bufetov (Annals 2014) and generalizing them to observables which are non-zero at fixed points. This in particular completes the proof of the original formulation of the Kontsevitch-Zorich conjecture. Our proof is base…
Decay of Correlations for the Rauzy-Veech-Zorich Induction Map on the Space of Interval Exchange Transformations and the Central Limit Theorem for the Teichmueller Flow on the Moduli Space of Abelian Differentials
We consider quasi-compact linear operator cocycles $\mathcal{L}^{n}_ω:=\mathcal{L}_{σ^{n-1}ω}\circ\cdots\circ\mathcal{L}_{σω}\circ \mathcal{L}_ω$ driven by an invertible ergodic process $σ:Ω\toΩ$, and their small perturbations $\mathcal{L}_{ω,ε}^{n}$. We prove an abstract $ω$-wise first-order formula for the leading Lyapunov multipliers. We then consider the situation where $\mathcal{L}_ω^{n}$ is a transfer operator cocycle for a random map cocycle $T_ω^{n}:=T_{σ^{n-1}ω}\circ\cdots\circ T_{σω}\circ T_ω$ and the perturbed transfer operators $\mathcal{L}_{ω,ε}$ are defined by the introduction of…
