Orbit structure and (reversing) symmetries of toral endomorphisms on rational lattices

We study various aspects of the dynamics induced by integer matrices on the invariant rational lattices of the torus in dimension 2 and greater. Firstly, we investigate the orbit structure when the toral endomorphism is not invertible on the lattice, characterising the pretails of eventually periodic orbits. Next we study the nature of the symmetries and reversing symmetries of toral automorphisms on a given lattice, which has particular relevance to (quantum) cat maps.

Realizability of integer sequences as differences of fixed point count sequences

A sequence of non-negative integers is exactly realizable as the fixed point counts sequence of a dynamical system if and only if it gives rise to a sequence of non-negative orbit counts. This provides a simple realizability criterion based on the transformation between fixed point and orbit counts. Here, we extend the concept of exact realizability to realizability of integer sequences as differences of the two fixed point counts sequences originating from a dynamical system and a topological factor. A criterion analogous to the one for exact realizability is given and the structure of the resulting set of integer sequences is outlined.

A note on the relation between fixed point and orbit count sequences

The relation between fixed point and orbit count sequences is investigated from the point of view of linear mappings on the space of arithmetic functions. Spectral and asymptotic properties are derived and several quantities are explicitly given in terms of Gaussian binomial coefficients.
