Abstract

We consider the three dimensional Heisenberg nilflows. Under a full measure set Diophantine condition on the generator of the flow we construct Bufetov functionals which are asymptotic to ergodic integrals for sufficiently smooth functions, have a modular property and scale exactly under the renor- malization dynamics. We then prove analyticity of the functionals in the transverse directions to the flow. As a consequence of this analyticity property we derive that there exists a full measure set of nilflows such that generic (non-trivial) time-changes are mixing and moreover have a "stretched polynomial" decay of correlations for sufficiently smooth functions. Moreover we also prove that there exists a full Hausdorff dimension set of nilflows such that generic non-trivial time-changes have polynomial decay of correlations.

Effective equidistribution of orbits under semisimple groups on congruence quotients

We prove an effective equidistribution result for periodic orbits of semisimple groups on congruence quotients of an ambient semisimple group.This extends a previous work of Einsiedler, Margulis and Venkatesh. The main new feature is that we allow for periodic orbits of semisimple groups with nontrivial centralizer in the ambient group. Our proof uses crucially an effective closing lemma from work of the author with Lindenstrauss, Margulis,Mohammadi, and Shah.

Generalized entropy of measure-induced maps

A classical result by E. Glasner and B. Weiss states that the topological entropy of a map $f$ is zero if and only if the topological entropy of its measure-induced map $f_*$ is zero, where $f_*$ is defined as the push-forward of a measure. In this work, we use generalized entropy to distinguish the complexity of these maps and prove that the measure-induced map is much more complex than the original map. Moreover, we introduce the generalized mean dimension, an invariant that is useful for distinguishing dynamical systems with zero mean dimension, including those with the small-boundary property, and we show a relationship between this new invariant and generalized entropy.

The endpoint problem for $\varepsilon$-hypercyclicity

For a fixed $0<\varepsilon<1$, F. Bayart asked in 2024 whether there exists an operator $T$ such that, for every $0<δ<1$, $T$ is $δ$-hypercyclic if and only if $δ\in[\varepsilon,1)$. We answer this question affirmatively by constructing a weighted backward shift on $\ell_2(\mathbb N_0,\ell_2(\mathbb N_0))$ with this property.
