Abstract

We will construct ``higher-dimensional" versions of the Wiener-Wintner dynamical system that was originally studied by I. Assani in 2003. We will show that on these systems we can provide very simple proofs of the a.e. convergence of the multiple recurrence averages, as well as the multiple recurrence return times averages. We will do so by obtaining a quantitative control of the multiple ergodic averages by extending the estimate for the double recurrence that was attained by J. Bourgain. We will also observe that this class of dynamical systems contains numerous examples that are not bounded by the standard classifications (e.g. entropy, mixing), such as Kolmogorov systems, classical skew products, as well as systems for which the a.e. convergence of multiple recurrence is not currently known. Along our way, we will also provide alternative characteristics of the Host-Kra-Ziegler factors from the point of view of the uniform Wiener-Wintner theorem.

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.
