Higher-Dimensional Symbolic Dynamics: A Textile Framework For 3-graphs

Abstract

Textile systems are best known to model two-dimensional shifts of finite type. In this article, we associate a discrete algebra with a textile system and provide a groupoid model for it. When the textile system is left-resolving, this algebra coincides with the Kumjian--Pask algebra of the associated $2$-graph. The main objective of this paper is to extend textile systems to dimension $3$ so that the resulting structures can, on the one hand, capture all three-dimensional shifts of finite type and, on the other hand, provide a textile-like framework for $3$-graphs extending the well-known connection between $2$-graphs and left-resolving textile systems. We introduce a model of a three-dimensional textile system and investigate the interplay between such textile systems and $3$-graphs. In particular, our investigation shows that the conditions required to form a $3$-graph from a $3$-colored graph (including the delicate associativity condition on tricolored paths), can be encoded in terms of simple pullback diagrams arising from the textile data. We also define homology groups for three-dimensional textiles and prove that these groups coincide with the homology groups of the associated $3$-graphs, thus establishing that our construction is homologically consistent with $3$-graphs.

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.
