Abstract

As a natural counterpart to Nakada's $α$-continued fraction maps, we study a one-parameter family of continued fraction transformations with an indifferent fixed point. We prove that matching holds for Lebesgue almost every parameter in this family and that the exceptional set has Hausdorff dimension 1. Due to this matching property, we can construct a planar version of the natural extension for a large part of the parameter space. We use this to obtain an explicit expression for the density of the unique infinite $σ$-finite absolutely continuous invariant measure and to compute the Krengel entropy, return sequence and wandering rate of the corresponding maps.

Pivoting technique for the circle homeomorphism group

We adapt Gou{ë}zel's pivoting technique to the circle homeomorphism group. As an application, we give different proofs of Gilabert Vio's probabilistic Tits alternative and Malicet's exponential synchronization.

Optimal rates of uniform convergence for weighted Birkhoff averages via almost all rotations

In this paper, we investigate weighted Birkhoff averages for toral translations associated with compactly supported weighting functions. By introducing several new analytical techniques, we establish optimal uniform convergence rates for almost all rotations and specific (or even all) initial points. Unlike the $\mathcal{O}(N^{-1})$ rate best achieved in classical ergodic theory, we show that these weighted averages exhibit polynomial or even exponential convergence. We establish the optimality of these convergence rates in multiple aspects, particularly concerning regularity indices across four distinct cases: finite differentiability, the $C^\infty$ class, logarithmic $C^\infty$ classes, and Gevrey classes. Our results demonstrate that the regularity of the observable essentially dictates the convergence rate; furthermore, we prove that no admissible choice of weighting function can, in general, overcome the lower bounds imposed by this regularity. In contrast to the generically slow convergence of standard time averages, this work provides an optimal and nearly complete characterization of rapid convergence for weighted Birkhoff averages.

Spectral theory of frame flows on closed hyperbolic manifolds

We prove a resolvent estimate for the generator of the frame flow on hyperbolic manifolds away from vertical lines of resonances. A byproduct of the proof is an optimal essential spectral gap property for the generator, hence giving another proof of exponential mixing of frame flows with respect to the volume measure of the frame bundle. This extends the result of [https://arxiv.org/abs/2005.08387v2] in dimension 3 to any dimension. We make extensive use of the Borel-Weil calculus developed in [https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.14846] to overcome difficulties of this higher-dimensional case.
