On the dimension spectrum of infinite subsystems of continued fractions

Abstract

In this paper we study the dimension spectrum of continued fractions with coefficients restricted to infinite subsets of natural numbers. We prove that if $E$ is any arithmetic progression, the set of primes, or the set of squares $\{n^2\}_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$, then the continued fractions whose digits lie in $E$ have full dimension spectrum, which we denote by $DS(\mathcal{CF}_E)$. Moreover we prove that if $E$ is an infinite set of consecutive powers then the dimension spectrum $DS(\mathcal{CF}_E)$ always contains a non trivial interval. We also show that there exists some $E \subset \mathbb{N}$ and two non-trivial intervals $I_1, I_2$, such that $DS(\mathcal{CF}_E) \cap I_1=I_1$ and $DS(\mathcal{CF}_E) \cap I_2$ is a Cantor set. On the way we employ the computational approach of Falk and Nussbaum in order to obtain rigorous effective estimates for the Hausdorff dimension of continued fractions whose entries are restricted to infinite sets.

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.
