Flows with time-reversal symmetric limit sets on surfaces

Abstract

The Long-time behavior of orbits is one of the most fundamental properties in dynamical systems. Poincaré studied the Poisson stability, which satisfies a time-reversal symmetric condition, to capture the property of whether points return arbitrarily near the initial positions after a sufficiently long time. Birkhoff introduced and studied the concept of non-wandering points, which is one of the time-reversal symmetric conditions. Moreover, minimality and pointwise periodicity satisfy the time-reversal symmetric condition for limit sets. This paper characterizes flows with the time-reversal symmetric condition for limit sets, which refine the characterization of irrational or Denjoy flows by Athanassopoulos. Using the description, we construct flows on a sphere with Lakes of Wada attractors and with an arbitrarily large number of complementary domains, which are flow versions of such examples of spherical homeomorphisms constructed by Boroński, Činč, and Liu.

Monotonicity, global symplectification and the stability of Dry Ten Martini Problem

We prove that, for every irrational frequency and every analytic Type I potential, each supercritical spectral energy satisfying the gap-labelling condition is an endpoint of an open spectral gap. This establishes the conjecture of Ge--Jitomirskaya--You \cite{GJY,You} in the supercritical regime. Consequently, the ``all gaps open'' property of the supercritical almost Mathieu operator persists under sufficiently small analytic perturbations. The main ingredient is a global symplectification of the center bundle that preserves quantitative monotonicity. This allows us to study gap opening through the center dynamics of the dual long-range operator, which has no natural Schrödinger form. We first establish the result for trigonometric polynomial potentials and then pass to general analytic potentials by controlling the dependence on the truncation dimension. The proof combines a discrete Hellmann--Feynman identity, dimension-free Aubry duality in weighted analytic norms, and a quantitative cone argument based on pre-monotonicity. These estimates ensure that the gaps survive in the analytic limit. Our results establish analytic stability of the Dry Ten Martini Problem in the supercritical regime and give a partial answer to a question of M. Shamis on the persistence of periodic spectral gaps.

Asymmetry of a class of Mellin transforms via bounded solutions

We introduce a family of parametrized non-homogeneous linear complex differential equations on $[1,\infty)$, depending on a complex parameter $s$ in the critical strip. We identify sufficient conditions on the non-homogeneous term that induce a structural asymmetry between the solutions corresponding to the parameters $s$ and $1-s$. More precisely, if both solutions with initial value $1$ are bounded on $[1,\infty)$, then necessarily $\Re(s)=\tfrac12$. The initial condition associated with the unique bounded solution corresponding to a parameter $s$ represents a zero of the Mellin transform associated with the non-homogeneous term at the point $s$.

Self-similar Delone sets and Pisot numbers

We consider Delone point patterns with self-similarity. Under mild conditions, the similarity factor is a Pisot number if and only if the pattern is uniformly discrete. The classical case is a Meyer set $Λ$ with $Λ\supset θΛ$ for some $θ>1,$ for which $θ$ must be a Pisot number or a Salem number. When $Λ$ contains several similar copies of itself, the case of a Salem number drops out for $θ<2.$ On the other hand, strictly self-similar patterns with a Pisot factor must be Meyer sets. Various examples are given.
