We give examples of quasi-hyperbolic dynamical systems with the following properties : polynomial decay of correlations, convergence in law toward a non gaussian law of the ergodic sums (divided by $n^{3/4}$) associated to non degenerated regular functions.
We consider complex Henon maps which are quasi-hyperbolic. We show that a quasi-hyperbolic map is uniformly hyperbolic if and only if there are no tangencies between stable and unstable manifolds.
We provide a systematic approach for deducing statistical limit laws via martingale-coboundary decomposition, for nonuniformly hyperbolic systems with slowly contracting and expanding directions. In particular, if the associated return time function is square-integrable, then we obtain the central limit theorem, the weak invariance principle, and an iterated version of the weak invariance principle.
We consider a simple class of fast-slow partially hyperbolic dynamical systems and show that the (properly rescaled) behaviour of the slow variable is very close to a Friedlin--Wentzell type random system for times that are rather long, but much shorter than the metastability scale. Also, we show the possibility of a "sink" with all the Lyapunov exponents positive, a phenomenon that turns out to be related to the lack of absolutely continuity of the central foliation.
We prove several limit theorems for a simple class of partially hyperbolic fast-slow systems. We start with some well know results on averaging, then we give a substantial refinement of known large (and moderate) deviation results and conclude with a completely new result (a local limit theorem) on the distribution of the process determined by the fluctuations around the average. The method of proof is based on a mixture of standard pairs and Transfer Operators that we expect to be applicable in a much wider generality.
Consider a nonuniformly hyperbolic map $ T $ modelled by a Young tower with tails of the form $ O(n^{-β}) $, $ β>2 $. We prove optimal moment bounds for Birkhoff sums $ \sum_{i=0}^{n-1}v\circ T^i $ and iterated sums $ \sum_{0\le i<j<n}v\circ T^i\, w\circ T^j $, where $ v,w:M\to \Bbb{R}$ are (dynamically) Hölder observables. Previously iterated moment bounds were only known for $ β>5$. Our method of proof is as follows; (i) prove that $ T $ satisfies an abstract functional correlation bound, (ii) use a weak dependence argument to show that the functional correlation bound implies moment estimat…
We consider a class of $\mathcal C^{4}$ partially hyperbolic systems on $\mathbb T^2$ described by maps $F_\varepsilon(x,θ)=(f(x,θ),θ+\varepsilonω(x,θ))$ where $f(\cdot,θ)$ are expanding maps of the circle. For sufficiently small $\varepsilon$ and $ω$ generic in an open set, we precisely classify the SRB measures for $F_\varepsilon$ and their statistical properties, including exponential decay of correlation for Hölder observables with explicit and nearly optimal bounds on the decay rate.
In this paper we study the stabilization problem of a general class of slow-fast systems with one fast and arbitrarily many slow states. Moreover, the class of systems under study is slowly actuated, meaning that only the slow states are subject to the action of a controller. Furthermore, we are particularly interested in the case where normal hyperbolicity is lost. We show that by using the Geometric Desingularization method, it is possible to design controllers to locally stabilize non-hyperbolic points of any finite degeneracy. The main novelty of this paper is that, unlike previous researc…
A partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism $f$ is structurally quasi-stable if for any diffeomorphism $g$ $C^1$-close to $f$, there is a homeomorphism $π$ of $M$ such that $π\circ g$ and $f\circπ$ differ only by a motion $τ$ along center directions. $f$ is topologically quasi-stable if for any homeomorphism $g$ $C^0$-close to $f$, the above holds for a continuous map $π$ instead of a homeomorphism. We show that any partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism $f$ is topologically quasi-stable, and if $f$ has $C^1$ center foliation $W^c_f$, then $f$ is structurally quasi-stable. As applications we obtain con…
A partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism $f$ has quasi-shadowing property if for any pseudo orbit ${x_k}_{k\in \mathbb{Z}}$, there is a sequence of points ${y_k}_{k\in \mathbb{Z}}$ tracing it in which $y_{k+1}$ is obtained from $f(y_k)$ by a motion $τ$ along the center direction. We show that any partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism has quasi-shadowing property, and if $f$ has $C^1$ center foliation then we can require $τ$ to move the points along the center foliation. As applications, we show that any partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism is topologically quasi-stable under $C^0$-perturbation. When…
Let $f$ be a partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism. $f$ is called has the quasi-shadowing property if for any pseudo orbit $\{x_k\}_{k\in \mathbb{Z}}$, there is a sequence $\{y_k\}_{k\in \mathbb{Z}}$ tracing it in which $y_{k+1}$ lies in the local center leaf of $f(y_k)$ for any $k\in \mathbb{Z}$. $f$ is called topologically quasi-stable if for any homeomorphism $g$ $C^0$-close to $f$, there exist a continuous map $π$ and a motion $τ$ along the center foliation such that $π\circ g=τ\circ f\circπ$. In this paper we prove that if $f$ is dynamically coherent then it has quasi-shadowing and topologi…
The classification, by topological conjugacy, of invertible holomorphic germs $f:(\mathbb{C}^n,0)\to (\mathbb{C}^n,0)$, with $λ_1,...,λ_n$ eigenvalues of $df_0$, and $|λ_i|\neq 1$ for $i=2,...,n$ while $λ_1$ is a root of the unity, is given, in the suitable hypothesis of ``quasi-absence'' of resonances.
It is shown that for non-hyperbolic real quadratic polynomials topological and quasisymmetric conjugacy classes are the same. By quasiconformal rigidity, each class has only one representative in the quadratic family, which proves that hyperbolic maps are dense.
This paper continues our investigation of the dynamics of polynomial diffeomorphisms of C^2. We introduce a dynamical property of polynomial diffeomorphisms that generalizes hyperbolicity in the way that semi-hyperbolicity generalizes hyperbolicity for polynomial maps of the complex plane.
We show that a strong partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism of $\mathbb{T}^3$ isotopic to Anosov has a unique quasi-attractor. Moreover, we study the entropy of the diffeomorphism restricted to this quasi-attractor.
It is known that every infinite index quasi-convex subgroup $H$ of a non-elementary hyperbolic group $G$ is a free factor in a larger quasi-convex subgroup of $G$. We give a probabilistic generalization of this result. That is, we show that when $R$ is a subgroup generated by independent random walks in $G$, then $\langle H, R\rangle\cong H\ast R$ with probability going to one as the lengths of the random walks go to infinity and this subgroup is quasi-convex in $G$. Moreover, our results hold for a large class of groups acting on hyperbolic metric spaces and subgroups with quasi-convex orbits…
The mapping class group $Γ$ of the complement of a Cantor set in the plane arises naturally in dynamics. We show that the ray graph, which is the analog of the complex of curves for this surface of infinite type, has infinite diameter and is hyperbolic. We use the action of $Γ$ on this graph to find an explicit non trivial quasimorphism on $Γ$ and to show that this group has infinite dimensional second bounded cohomology. Finally we give an example of a hyperbolic element of $Γ$ with vanishing stable commutator length. This carries out a program proposed by Danny Calegari.
