The oriented graph of multi-graftings in the Fuchsian case

We prove the connectedness and calculate the diameter of the oriented graph of graftings associated to exotic complex projective structures on a compact surface S with a given holonomy representation of Fuchsian type. The oriented graph of graftings is the graph whose vertices are the equivalence classes of marked CP^1-structures on S with a given fixed holonomy, and there is an oriented edge between two structures if the second is obtained from the first by grafting.

Lyapunov exponents for surface groups representations

Let (ρ_\la)_{\la\in \La} be a holomorphic family of representations of a surface group π_1(S) into PSL(2,C), where S is a topological (possibly punctured) surface with negative Euler characteristic. Given a structure of Riemann surface of finite type on S we construct a bifurcation current on the parameter space \La, that is a (1,1) positive closed current attached to the bifurcations of the family. It is defined as the $dd^c$ of the Lyapunov exponent of the representation with respect to the Brownian motion on the Riemann surface S, endowed with its Poincare metric. We show that this bifurcation current describes the asymptotic distribution of various codimension 1 phenomena in \La. For instance, the random hypersurfaces of \La defined by the condition that a random closed geodesic on S is mapped under ρ_\la to a parabolic element or the identity are asymptotically equidistributed with respect to the bifurcation current. The proofs are based on our previous work "Random walks, Kleinian groups, and bifurcation currents", and on a careful control of a discretization procedure of the Brownian motion.

Complex projective structures: Lyapunov exponent, degree and harmonic measure

We study several new invariants associated to a holomorphic projective structure on a Riemann surface of finite analytic type: the Lyapunov exponent of its holonomy which is of probabilistic/dynamical nature and was introduced in our previous work; the degree which measures the asymptotic covering rate of the developing map; and a family of harmonic measures on the Riemann sphere, previously introduced by Hussenot. We show that the degree and the Lyapunov exponent are related by a simple formula and give estimates for the Hausdorff dimension of the harmonic measures in terms of the Lyapunov exponent. In accordance with the famous "Sullivan dictionary", this leads to a description of the space of such projective structures that is reminiscent of that of the space of polynomials in holomorphic dynamics.

Topology and dynamics of Levi-flats in surfaces of general type

We focus on the topology and dynamics of minimal sets and Levi-flats in surfaces of general type. Our method relies on the ergodic theory of Riemann surfaces laminations: we use harmonic measures and Lyapunov exponents. Our first result establishes that minimal sets have large Hausdorff dimension when a leaf is simply connected. Our second result shows that the class of Anosov Levi-flats does not occur in surfaces of general type. In particular, by using rigidity results, we obtain that Levi-flats are not virtually diffeomorphic to unitary tangent bundles of hyperbolic compact surfaces, nor to hyperbolic torus bundles.

Branched projective structures with quasi-Fuchsian holonomy

We prove that if S is a closed compact surface of negative Euler characteristic, and if R is a quasi-Fuchsian representation in PSL(2,C), then the deformation space M(k,R) of branched projective structures on S with total branching order k and holonomy R is connected, as soon as k>0. Equivalently, two branched projective structures with the same quasi-Fuchsian holonomy and the same number of branch points are related by a movement of branch points. In particular grafting annuli are obtained by moving branch points. In the appendix we give an explicit atlas for the space M(k,R). It is shown to be a smooth complex manifold modeled on Hurwitz spaces.

Random walks, Kleinian groups, and bifurcation currents

Let (ρ_λ)_{λ\in Λ} be a holomorphic family of representations of a finitely generated group G into PSL(2,C), parameterized by a complex manifold Λ. We define a notion of bifurcation current in this context, that is, a positive closed current on Λdescribing the bifurcations of this family of representations in a quantitative sense. It is the analogue of the bifurcation current introduced by DeMarco for holomorphic families of rational mappings on the Riemann sphere. Our definition relies on the theory of random products of matrices, so it depends on the choice of a probability measure μon G. We show that under natural assumptions on μ, the support of the bifurcation current coincides with the bifurcation locus of the family. We also prove that the bifurcation current describes the asymptotic distribution of several codimension 1 phenomena in parameter space, like accidental parabolics or new relations, or accidental collisions between fixed points.

Feuilletage de Hirsch, mesure harmonique, et g-mesure

Les feuilletages de Hirsch sont des feuilletages par surfaces de variétés compactes fermées de dimension 3, dont la dynamique transverse est celle d'un endomorphisme du cercle de degré strictement supérieur à 1. Le but de cette note est de construire, à partir d'une g-mesure associée à un tel endomorphisme, une mesure harmonique sur le feuilletage de Hirsch correspondant, au sens de Lucy Garnett. Ceci nous permet de donner des exemples de métriques riemanniennes sur le fibré tangent du feuilletage de Hirsch, lisses le long des feuilles et continues transversalement, pour lesquelles il existe plusieurs mesures harmoniques. De tels exemples montrent que le résultat d'unique ergodicité obtenu par le premier auteur et Victor Kleptsyn pour les feuilletages transversalement conformes [GAFA, 2007, Vol. 17, No 4, 1043-1105] n'est valable que lorsque la métrique riemannienne est Höldérienne transversalement, mais pas juste continue.

The group of almost-periodic homeomorphisms of the real line

We study the group of almost-periodic homeomorphisms of the real line. Our main result states that an action of a finitely generated group on the real line without global fixed point is conjugated to an almost-periodic action without almost fixed point. This is equivalent to saying that the action on the real line can be compactified to an action on a 1-dimensional lamination of a compact space, without global fixed point. As an application we give an alternative proof of Witte's theorem: an amenable left orderable group is locally indicable.

Singular sets of holonomy maps for algebraic foliations

In this article we investigate the natural domain of definition of a holonomy map associated to a singular holomorphic foliation of the complex projective plane. We prove that germs of holonomy between algebraic curves can have large sets of singularities for the analytic continuation. In the Riccati context we provide examples with natural boundary and maximal sets of singularities. In the generic case we provide examples having at least a Cantor set of singularities and even a nonempty open set of singularities. The examples provided are based on the presence of sufficiently rich contracting dynamics in the holonomy pseudogroup of the foliation.

On the question of ergodicity for minimal group actions on the circle

This work is devoted to the study of minimal, smooth actions of finitely generated groups on the circle. We provide a sufficient condition for such an action to be ergodic (with respect to the Lebesgue measure), and we illustrate this condition by studying two relevant examples. Under an analogous hypothesis, we also deal with the problem of the zero Lebesgue measure for exceptional minimal sets. This hypothesis leads to many other interesting conclusions, mainly concerning the stationary and conformal measures. Moreover, several questions are left open. The methods work as well for codimension-one foliations, though the results for this case are not explicitly stated.

Sur la dynamique unidimensionnelle en régularité intermédiaire

Using probabilistic methods, we prove new rigidity results for groups and pseudo-groups of diffeomorphisms of one dimensional manifolds with intermediate regularity class ({\em i.e.} between $C^1$ and $C^2$). In particular, we demonstrate some generalizations of Denjoy's Theorem and the classical Kopell's Lemma for Abelian groups. After that, these techniques are applied to the study of codimension 1 foliations. We obtain for instance several generalized versions of Sacksteder's Theorem in class $C^1$. We conclude with some remarks about the stationary measure.

Random conformal dynamical systems

We consider random dynamical systems such as groups of conformal transformations with a probability measure, or transversaly conformal foliations with a Laplace operator along the leaves, in which case we consider the holonomy pseudo-group. We prove that either there exists a measure invariant under all the elements of the group (or the pseudo-group), or almost surely a long composition of maps contracts exponentially a ball. We deduce some results about the unique ergodicity.

Surfaces branchées et soléno\"ıdes $ε$-holomorphes

We show that for every $ε>0$, there exists a compact lamination by $ε$-holomorphic surfaces in the complex projective plane, minimal, and that carries hyperbolic holonomy. We call $ε$-holomorphic a real 2-dimensional surface $Σ$ in ${\bf C}P^2$ such that the angle between $TΣ$ and $iTΣ$ is uniformly bounded by $ε$. When $ε$ is sufficiently small, such surfaces are in particular symplectic.
