Abstract

The goal of this note is to systematically develop the fundamental arithmetic and combinatorial properties of the sector renormalization operation on rigid rotations. We employ the specific framework of modified continued fractions appropriate for sector renormalization and analyze their properties. By allowing infinite first return times, this framework yields a dynamical compactification characterized by a universal property. We also discuss the corresponding natural extension and introduce the notion of a time (semi-)group. For example, we demonstrate how a bi-infinite tower of sector renormalizations of irrational rotations can be packaged within a single dynamical plane as a cascade of translations. This note will serve as a foundational combinatorial tool for studying the geometric properties of sector renormalizations of holomorphic maps with irrationally indifferent fixed points, particularly neutral quadratic polynomials.

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.
