Abstract

These notes are based on lectures given by the author at the Summer School on Teichmüller dynamics, mapping class groups and applications in Grenoble, France, in June 2018 and at the Oberwolfach Seminar on Anisotropic Spaces and their Applications to Hyperbolic and Parabolic Systems in June 2019. We derive results about the so-called Ruelle resonances and the asymptotics of correlations for several classes of systems from known results on cohomological equations and invariant distributions for the respective unstable vector fields. In particular, we consider pseudo-Anosov diffeomorphisms on surfaces of higher genus, for horocycle flows on surfaces of constant negative curvature and for partially hyperbolic automorphisms of Heisenberg 3-dimensional nilmanfolds. Ruelles resonances for pseudo-Anosov maps with applications to the cohomological equation for their unstable translation flows was recently studied in depth by F. Faure, S. Gouëzel and E. Lanneau [FGL] by methods based on the analysis of the transfer operator of the pseudo-Anosov map. Ruelle resonances for geodesic flows on hyperbolic compact manifolds of any dimension and of partially hyperbolic automorphisms of Heisenberg 3-dimensional nilmanfolds are studied by general results of Dyatlov, Faure and Guillarmou [DFG] and Faure and Tsujii [FT15] based on methods of semi-classical analysis. These works do not derive results on cohomological equations for unstable flows or horospherical foliations of these systems.

Equidistribution of saddle periodic points for Hénon-like maps

We prove that under a natural assumption on the dynamical degrees, the saddle periodic points of a Hénon-like map in any dimension equidistribute with respect to the equilibrium measure. Our work is a generalization of the results of Bedford-Lyubich-Smillie, Dujardin, and Dinh-Sibony along with improvements of their techniques. We also investigate some fine properties of Green currents associated with the map.

On dissonance and orthogonal projections of self-conformal measures

Let $μ$ be a self-conformal measure on $\mathbb{R}^d$. We establish conditions for $μ$ under which $\dim(μ*ν) = \min\lbrace d,\dimμ+\dimν\rbrace$ holds when $ν$ is any Ahlfors-regular or self-conformal measure on $\mathbb{R}^d$. Our main result states the following sufficient condition: $μ$ is totally non-linear and not supported on a smooth hypersurface. We also establish sufficient (likely non-sharp) algebraic conditions for self-conformal measures which are not totally non-linear. In addition, we show that $\dim μ\circπ^{-1} = \min\{ k, \dim μ\}$ for every ortohogonal projection $π:\mathbb{R}^d\to\mathbb{R}^k$, $0<k<d$, when either $d=2$ and $μ$ is not self-similar and not supported on a line, or $d\geq 3$ and $μ$ is totally non-linear and not supported on a smooth hypersurface.

Equation-Free Screening of Mittag-Leffler-Compatible Dynamics from Scalar Time Series via kNN Multi-Horizon Profiles

Fractional models provide a natural description of systems with memory, but a noninteger derivative should not be introduced solely because a time series is curved or slowly relaxing. We develop an equation-free preliminary screening framework that asks whether a scalar time series produces a multi-horizon k-nearest-neighbor (kNN) profile more compatible with Mittag-Leffler-type behavior than with selected conventional alternatives. In an ideal matched Caputo-relaxation benchmark, the complete generation-kNN-profile-model-comparison pipeline reproduces the expected Mittag-Leffler geometry and recovers the generating order to within approximately $10^{-3}$; this is interpreted as controlled calibration rather than as general fractional-order identification. Under 3% trajectory-specific observational noise, the held-out Mittag-Leffler preference is most consistent when the generating dynamics are well separated from the integer-order limit and becomes progressively less decisive as $α\rightarrow1$. The fitted order $α_{\mathrm{fit}}$, however, shows substantially larger realization-to-realization variability. Thus, relative model compatibility is more robust than single-realization order estimation in the present noisy benchmark. Noise-free nonfractional controls show a separate limitation of specificity: a stretched exponential can generate a strongly Mittag-Leffler-compatible profile, whereas inclusion of the generating rational/Hill family recovers that family and its parameters to numerical precision in the matched setting. A positive Mittag-Leffler-versus-exponential screen therefore does not uniquely establish fractional origin. A fractional chaotic system is treated only as an exploratory extension: the Mittag-Leffler growth family gives lower finite-window RMSE than exponential and logistic/saturating alternatives over the detected pre-transition interval.
