Abstract

We study skew product systems driven by a hyperbolic base map S (e.g. a baker map or an Anosov surface diffeomorphism) and with simple concave fibre maps on an interval [0,a] like h(x)=g(θ) tanh(x) where g(θ) is a factor driven by the base map. The fibre-wise attractor is the graph of an upper semicontinuous function ϕ(θ). For many choices of the function g, ϕhas a residual set of zeros but ϕ>0 almost everywhere w.r.t. the Sinai-Ruelle-Bowen measure of S^(-1). In such situations we evaluate the stability index of the global attractor of the system, which is the subgraph of ϕ, at all regular points (θ,0) in terms of the local exponents Γ(θ):=\lim_{n\to\infty} 1/n log g_n(θ) and Λ(θ):=\lim_{n\to\infty} 1/n\log|D_u S^{-n}(θ)| and of the positive zero s_* of a certain thermodynamic pressure function associated with S^(-1) and g. (In queuing theory, an analogon of s_* is known as Loyne's exponent.) The stability index was introduced by Podvigina and Ashwin in 2011 to quantify the local scaling of basins of attraction.

Admissible Fourier Lengths, KAM Reducibility, and Spectral Applications

We develop a perturbative KAM reducibility theory for one-frequency $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})$ cocycles based on an admissible Fourier length $\ell$. The regularity relevant to the iteration is measured by positive adapted Fourier width rather than ordinary smoothness in the Euclidean length $|n|$. The same length governs Fourier decay, truncation and resonance scales, and the arithmetic condition controlling the small divisors. This framework contains the classical analytic and Gevrey settings, while non-monotone choices of $\ell$ allow classical nowhere differentiable Weierstrass-type perturbations and continuous perturbations outside every positive H\"older class. As spectral applications, we obtain purely absolutely continuous spectrum for every phase and $1/2$-H\"older continuity of the integrated density of states for the associated quasiperiodic Schr\"odinger operators. The Aubry dual has pure point spectrum for Lebesgue almost every dual phase, with eigenfunctions exponentially localized in the metric induced by $\ell$. We also construct nowhere differentiable quasiperiodic potentials with purely absolutely continuous Cantor spectrum.

Dynamics inside the attracting basins of some skew products

Polynomial skew products in $\mathbb{C}^2$ are maps of the form $F(z,w)=(P(z),Q(z,w))$, where $P$ and $Q$ are polynomials. Their local dynamics have been widely investigated. In this paper, we study the global dynamics inside Fatou components of some skew products. We consider all the inverse images in a Fatou component of a given point and use the Kobayashi metric to measure the distance between points. In the cases we consider, there are always arbitrarily large Kobayashi balls in the complement of these inverse sets.

Ergodicity of dynamical systems without uniqueness of orbits

Recently, there has been considerable interest in the study of non-deterministic dynamical systems. To analyze the chaotic behavior of such systems from a measure-theoretic viewpoint, it is desirable to consider ergodicity. However, the classical definition of ergodicity involves invariant sets, whose definition is not unique for non-deterministic dynamical systems. Thus, we are led to the question of which invariance yields an interesting definition of ergodicity. Here, we propose a definition based on the strong backward invariance and show that analogs of classical results hold. We also consider implications of the Birkhoff ergodic theorem for systems without uniqueness of orbits.
