Products of non-stationary random matrices and Multiperiodic equations of several scaling factors

Let $β>1$ be a real number and $M: \mathbb{R}\to {\rm GL(\CC^d)}$ be a uniformly almost periodic matrix-valued function. We study the asymptotic behavior of the product $$ P_n(x) =M(β^{n-1}x)... M(βx) M(x). $$ Under some condition we prove a theorem of Furstenberg-Kesten type for such products of non-stationary random matrices. Theorems of Kingman and Oseledec type are also proved. The obtained results are applied to multiplicative functions defined by commensurable scaling factors. We get a positive answer to a Strichartz conjecture on the asymptotic behavior of such multiperiodic functions. The case where $β$ is a Pisot--Vijayaraghavan number is well studied.

On the uniform hyperbolicity of some nonuniformly hyperbolic systems

We give sufficient conditions for the uniform hyperbolicity of certain nonuniformly hyperbolic dynamical systems. In particular, we show that local diffeomorphisms that are nonuniformly expanding on sets of total probability are necessarily uniformly expanding. We also present a version of this result for diffeomorphisms with nonuniformly hyperbolic sets.

Return time statistics via inducing

We prove that return time statistics of a dynamical system do not change if one passes to an induced (i.e. first return) map. We apply this to show exponential return time statistics in i) smooth interval maps with nowhere-dense critical orbits and ii) certain interval maps with neutral fixed points. The method also applies to iii) certain quadratic maps of the complex plane.
