Abstract

This paper intends to provide new, simple, and self-contained proofs of the equivalence of various different descriptions of the uniformly hyperbolic $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb R)$ sequences. While in the scenario of the Schr\"odinger cocyles, they may in turn be applied to give new and simple proofs of theorems regarding their relation with the spectral analysis of one-dimensional discrete Schr\"odinger operators. Concretely, this paper gives four different descriptions of uniformly hyperbolic sequences together with the detailed proofs of their equivalence. It provides concise and self-contained proof of the Johnson's Theorem [Jo], both for sequence and dynamically defined potentials. In particular, we give two different proofs of the direction `uniform hyperbolicity away from the spectrum', of which one is the standard argument in the spirit of Russell Johnson's original proof and the other involves Combes-Thomas type of estimate [CT]. Finally, the relation between the Avalanche Principle, discovered by Goldstein-Schlag [GS], and the uniformly hyperbolic sequence is explored which yields a simple proof and a better version of the Avalanche Principle. Many ingredients of the proofs in this paper are new, in particular the use of asymptotic stable and unstable directions, are of independent interest and have been applied to many other related problems.

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.
