Abstract

The thesis deals with recognizing diffeomorphisms from fractal properties of discrete orbits, generated by iterations of such diffeomorphisms. The notion of fractal properties of a set refers to the box dimension, the Minkowski content and their appropriate generalizations, or, in wider sense, to the epsilon-neighborhoods of sets, for small, positive values of parameter epsilon. In the first part of the thesis, we consider the relation between the multiplicity of the fixed point of a real-line diffeomorphism, and the asymptotic behavior of the length of the epsilon-neighborhoods of its orbits. We establish the bijective correspondence. At the fixed point, the diffeomorphisms may be differentiable or nondifferentiable. The results are applied to the question of cyclicity of some planar limit periodic sets of polynomial fields, whose first return maps are real-line diffeomorphisms. In the second part of the thesis, we consider the relation between formal and analytic classes of complex diffeomorphisms f:C->C and epsilon-neighborhoods of their orbits. It is shown that the formal class can be read from generalized fractal properties of any orbit. The results are directly applied to formal classification of complex saddles in C^2. On the other hand, concerning the analytic classification, we state problems in reading the analytic class of a diffeomorphisms from epsilon-neighborhoods of orbits.

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.
