Abstract

In this work, we investigate the dynamics of a general non-autonomous system generated by a commutative family of homeomorphisms. In particular, we investigate properties such as periodicity, equicontinuity, minimality and transitivity for a general non-autonomous dynamical system. In \cite{sk2}, the authors derive necessary and sufficient conditions for a system to be minimal. We claim the result to be false and provide an example in support of our claim. Further, we correct the result to derive necessary and sufficient conditions for a non-autonomous system to be minimal. We prove that for an equicontinuous flow generated by a commutative family, while the system need not exhibit almost periodic points, if $x$ is almost periodic then every point in $\overline{\mathcal{O}_H(x)}$ is almost periodic. We further prove that in such a case, the set $\overline{\mathcal{O}_H(x)}$ is uniformly almost periodic and hence provide an analogous extension to a result known for the autonomous systems. We prove that a system generated by a commutative family is transitive if and only if it exhibits a point with dense orbit. We also prove that any minimal system generated by commutative family is either equicontinuous or has a dense set of sensitive points.

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.
