Effective equidistribution of orbits under semisimple groups on congruence quotients

Abstract

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.

Local height arguments toward the dynamical Mordell-Lang conjecture

We consider regular endomorphisms of the complex affine space with a degree gap $k$. They are endomorphisms $f$ of $\mathbb{A}_{\mathbb{C}}^{N}$ of the form $f(x_1,\dots,x_N)=(f_1(x_1,\dots,x_N)+g_1(x_1,\dots,x_N),\dots,f_N(x_1,\dots,x_N)+g_N(x_1,\dots,x_N))$, in which $f_1,\dots,f_N$ are homogeneous polynomials of degree $d$ with no nonzero common zeros and $g_1,\dots,g_N$ are polynomials of degree $\leq d-k$. Such an endomorphism extends to an endomorphism of $\mathbb{P}_{\mathbb{C}}^{N}$. Let $H_{\infty}=\mathbb{P}_{\mathbb{C}}^{N}\setminus\mathbb{A}_{\mathbb{C}}^{N}$ be the infinity hyperplane and we denote $f_{\infty}$ as the induced endomorphism of $H_{\infty}$. Suppose that $k$ is twice greater than the multiplicities of $f_{\infty}$ at the periodic closed points, i.e. $k>2\max\limits_{P\in\mathrm{Per}(f_\infty)}e_{f_{\infty}}(P)$. Then we prove that $f$ satisfies the dynamical Mordell-Lang conjecture for curves. As a by-product of our proof, we show that in this case every periodic curve of $f$ is a "vertical line", i.e. a straight line passing through the origin. There are many examples which satisfy our condition $k>2\max\limits_{P\in\mathrm{Per}(f_\infty)}e_{f_{\infty}}(P)$. Indeed, we prove that for every $d\geq2$, a general endomorphism $f_{\infty}$ of $H_{\infty}\cong\mathbb{P}_{\mathbb{C}}^{N-1}$ of degree $d$ satisfies $\max\limits_{P\in H_{\infty}(\mathbb{C})}e_{f_{\infty}}(P)\leq(N-1)!\cdot2^{N-1}$. So if we take $k=(N-1)!\cdot2^N+1$, then $f$ will satisfy our condition if $f_{\infty}$ is general (of an arbitrary degree $d\geq k$). Moreover, we provide examples to illustrate that this condition is optimal to force every periodic curve to be a vertical line, in the sense that one cannot change "$>$" into "$\geq$".
