Critical circle homeomorphisms have an invariant measure totally singular with respect to the Lebesgue measure. We prove that singularities of the invariant measure are of Holder type. The Hausdorff dimension of the invariant measure is less than 1 but greater than 0.
We give some results about the dynamics of a particle moving in Euclidean three-space under the influence of the gravitational force induced by a fixed homogeneous circle. Our main results concern (1) singularities and (2) the dynamics in the plane that contains the circle. The study presented here is purely analytic.
As an application of the Gordon lemma for orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle, we prove that for a generic set of quasiperiodic Verblunsky coefficients the corresponding two-sided CMV operator has purely singular continuous spectrum. We use a similar argument to that of the Boshernitzan-Damanik result that establishes the corresponding theorem for the discrete Schrödinger operator.
Let $T_{f}$ be a circle homeomorphism with two break points $a_{b},c_{b}$ and irrational rotation number $\varrho_{f}$. Suppose that the derivative $Df$ of its lift $f$ is absolutely continuous on every connected interval of the set $S^{1}\backslash\{a_{b},c_{b}\}$, that $DlogDf \in L^{1}$ and the product of the jump ratios of $ Df $ at the break points is nontrivial, i.e. $\frac{Df_{-}(a_{b})}{Df_{+}(a_{b})}\frac{Df_{-}(c_{b})}{Df_{+}(c_{b})}\neq1$. We prove that the unique $T_{f}$- invariant probability measure $μ_{f}$ is then singular with respect to Lebesgue measure $l$ on $S^{1}$.
Let $f$ and $g$ be two class $P$-homeomorphisms of the circle $S^{1}$ with break points singularities. Assume that the derivatives $\textrm{Df}$ and $\textrm{Dg}$ are absolutely continuous on every continuity interval of $\textrm{Df}$ and $\textrm{Dg}$ respectively. Denote by $C(f)$ the set of break points of $f$. For $c\in S^{1}$, denote by $π_{s, O_{f}(c)}(f)$ the product of $f-$ jumps in break points lying to the $f-$ orbit of $c$ and by $\textrm{SO}(f) = \{O_{f}(c):~c \in C(f)~\textrm{and}~π_{s, O_{f}(c)}(f)\neq 1\}$, called the set of singular $f$-orbits. The maps $f$ and $g$ are called b…
It is well-known that every multicritical circle map without periodic orbits admits a unique invariant Borel probability measure which is purely singular with respect to Lebesgue measure. Can such a map leave invariant an infinite, $σ$-finite invariant measure which is absolutely continuous with respect to Lebesgue measure? In this paper, using an old criterion due to Katznelson, we show that the answer to this question is no.
The rigidity theory for circle homeomophisms with breaks was studied intensively in the last 20 years. It was proved that under mild conditions of the Diophantine type on the rotation number any two $C^{2+α}$ smooth circle homeomorphisms with a break point are $C^1$ smoothly conjugate to each other, provided that they have the same rotation number and the same size of the break. In this paper we prove that the conjugacy may not be $C^{2-ν}$ even if the maps are analytic outside of the break points. This result shows that the rigidity theory for maps with singularities is very different from th…
For a certain parametrized family of maps on the circle with critical points and logarithmic singularities where derivatives blow up to infinity, we construct a positive measure set of parameters corresponding to maps which exhibit nonuniformly expanding behavior. This implies the existence of "chaotic" dynamics in dissipative homoclinic tangles in periodically perturbed differential equations.
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.
In this paper we show that generic continuous Lebesgue measure preserving circle maps have the s-limit shadowing property. In addition we obtain that s-limit shadowing is a generic property also for continuous circle maps. In particular, this implies that classical shadowing, periodic shadowing and limit shadowing are generic in these two settings as well.
Given any Liouville number $α$, it is shown that the nullity of the Hausdorff dimension of the invariant measure is generic in the space of the orientation preserving $C^\infty$ diffeomorphisms of the circle with rotation number $α$.
We express continuous $\times p,\times q$-invariant measures on the unit circle via some simple forms. On one hand, a continuous $\times p,\times q$-invariant measure is the weak-$*$ limit of average of Dirac measures along an irrational orbit. On the other hand, a continuous $\times p,\times q$-invariant measure is a continuous function on $[0,1]$ satisfying certain function equations.
We consider pointwise, box, and Hausdorff dimensions of invariant measures for circle diffeomorphisms. We discuss the cases of rational, Diophantine, and Liouville rotation numbers. Our main result is that for any Liouville number $τ$ there exists a $C^\infty$ circle diffeomorphism with rotation number $τ$ such that the pointwise and box dimensions of its unique invariant measure do not exist. Moreover, the lower pointwise and lower box dimensions can equal any value $0\le β\le 1$.
We show that the stationary measure for some random systems of two piecewise affine homeomorphisms of the interval is singular, verifying partially a conjecture by Alsedà and Misiurewicz and contributing to a question of Navas on the absolute continuity of stationary measures, considered in the setup of semigroups of piecewise affine circle homeomorphisms. We focus on the case of resonant boundary derivatives.
In this paper, we prove that for real analytic expanding circle maps, all optimizing measures of a real analytic potential function have zero entropy, unless the potential is cohomologous to constant. We use the group structure of the symbolic space to solve a transversality problem involved. We also discuss applications to optimizing measures for generic smooth potentials and to Lyapunov optimizing measures.
We study the coarse geometry of the moduli space of dilation tori with two singularities and the dynamical properties of the action of the Teichmuller flow on this moduli space. This leads to a proof that the vertical foliation of a dilation torus is almost always Morse-Smale. As a corollary, we get that the generic piecewise affine circle homeomorphism with two break points -with respect to the Lebesgue measure- is Morse-Smale.
We characterize the maximal entropy measures of partially hyperbolic C^2 diffeomorphisms whose center foliations form circle bundles, by means of suitable finite sets of saddle points, that we call skeletons. In the special case of 3-dimensional nilmanifolds other than the torus, this entails the following dichotomy: either the diffeomorphism is a rotation extension of an Anosov diffeomorphism -- in which case there is a unique maximal measure, with full support and zero center Lyapunov exponents -- or there exist exactly two ergodic maximal measures, both hyperbolic and whose center Lyapunov …
Geometric models and Teichmüller structures have been introduced for the space of smooth expanding circle endomorphisms and for the space of uniformly symmetric circle endomorphisms. The latter one is the completion of the previous one under the Techmüller metric. Moreover, the spaces of geometric models as well as the Teichmüller spaces can be described as the space of Hölder continuous scaling functions and the space of continuous scaling functions on the dual symbolic space. The characterizations of these scaling functions have been also investigated. The Gibbs measure theory and the dual G…
It is well known that real measures on the circle are characterized by their Herglotz transform, an analytic function in the unit disc. Invariance of the measure under N-multiplication translates into a functional equation for the Herglotz transform. Using elements from the theory of Hardy spaces one gets a somewhat surprising condition for a sequence of complex numbers to be the Fourier coefficients of an N-invariant measure. Next, starting from any atomless measure on the circle we construct atomless premesures of bounded kappa-variation in the sense of Korenblum which are invariant under s …
