Dynamical covering sets in self-similar sets

We study the size of \emph{dynamical covering sets} on a self-similar set. Dynamical covering sets are limsup sets generated by placing shrinking target sets around points along an orbit in a dynamical system. In the case when the target sets are balls with sizes depending on the centre, we determine the size of the dynamical covering set as a function of the shrinking rate. In particular, we find sharp conditions guaranteeing when full Dvoretzky-type covering, and full measure occur. We also compute the Hausdorff dimension in the remaining cases. The proofs apply in the cases of targets centred at typical points of the self-similar set, with respect to any Bernoulli measure on it. Unlike in existing work on dynamical coverings, and despite the dimension value featuring phase transitions, we demonstrate that the behaviour can be characterised by a single pressure function over the full range of parameters. The techniques are a combination of classical dimension theoretical estimates and intricate martingale arguments.

Dimension of self-affine sets for fixed translation vectors

An affine iterated function system is a finite collection of affine invertible contractions and the invariant set associated to the mappings is called self-affine. In 1988, Falconer proved that, for given matrices, the Hausdorff dimension of the self-affine set is the affinity dimension for Lebesgue almost every translation vectors. Similar statement was proven by Jordan, Pollicott, and Simon in 2007 for the dimension of self-affine measures. In this article, we have an orthogonal approach. We introduce a class of self-affine systems in which, given translation vectors, we get the same results for Lebesgue almost all matrices. The proofs rely on Ledrappier-Young theory that was recently verified for affine iterated function systems by Bárány and Käenmäki, and a new transversality condition, and in particular they do not depend on properties of the Furstenberg measure. This allows our results to hold for self-affine sets and measures in any Euclidean space.

The absolute continuity of the invariant measure of random iterated function systems with overlaps

We consider iterated function systems on the interval with random perturbation. Let $Y_ε$ be uniformly distributed in $[1- ε, 1 + ε]$ and let $f_i \in C^{1+α}$ be contractions with fixpoints $a_i$. We consider the iterated function system $\{Y_εf_i + a_i (1 - Y_ε) \}_{i=1}^n$, were each of the maps are chosen with probability $p_i$. It is shown that the invariant density is in $L^2$ and the $L^2$-norm does not grow faster than $1/\sqrtε$, as $ε$ vanishes.

Description of the free motion with momentums in Godel's universe

We study the geodesic motion in Godel's universe, using conserved quantities. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for curves to be geodesic curves in terms of conserved quantities, which can be computed from the initial values of the curve. We check our result with numerical simulations too.
