Abstract

We consider n-linear Nambu brackets in dimension N higher than n. Starting from a Hamiltonian system with a Poisson bracket and K Casimir invariants defined in the phase space of dimension N = K+2M, where M is the number of effective degrees of freedom, we investigate a necessary and sufficient condition for this system to possess n-linear Nambu brackets. For the case of n = 3, by looking for the possible solutions to the fundamental identity, the condition is found to be N = K+2, i.e., the system should have effectively one degree of freedom. Locally, it is shown that there is only one fundamental solution, up to a local change of variables, and this solution is the canonical Nambu bracket, generated by Levi-Civita tensors. These results generalize to the case of n($\ge$ 4)-linear Nambu brackets.

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.
