Evolutionary Stable Strategies and Cubic Vector Fields

Abstract

The introduction of concepts of Game Theory and Ordinary Differential Equations into Biology gave birth to the field of Evolutionary Stable Strategies, with applications in Biology, Genetics, Politics, Economics and others. In special, the model composed by two players having two pure strategies each results in a planar cubic vector field with an invariant octothorpe. Therefore, in this paper we study such class of vector fields, suggesting the notion of genericity and providing the global phase portraits of the generic systems with a singularity at the central region of the octothorpe.

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.
