Abstract

We prove that the postcritical set of every quadratic polynomial with a neutral fixed point has zero Lebesgue measure. In particular, no arithmetic condition on the rotation number is required. Our proof uses sector renormalization and the pseudo-Siegel bounds of Dudko-Lyubich to derive uniform distortion estimates for the renormalization change of variables. For sector renormalization towers, we also prove the same zero area statement for the associated postcritical set and the optimal Brjuno criterion for the interior of the associated Mother Hedgehog.

Pointwise convergence of double ergodic averages along certain non-polynomial sequences

Fix $c\in (1,2)$. Let $α$ and $β$ be two non-zero real numbers. It is shown that for any measure preserving system $(X,\mathcal{X},μ,T)$ and any $f,g\in L^{\infty}(μ)$, the limit \begin{equation*} \lim_{N\to\infty}\frac{1}{N}\sum_{n=1}^{N}f(T^{\lfloor αn^c \rfloor}x)g(T^{\lfloor βn^c \rfloor}x) \end{equation*} exists for $μ$-a.e. $x\in X$.

Thermodynamic formalism and multifractal analysis of Birkhoff averages for parabolic rational maps

In this paper, we study the multifractal analysis of Birkhoff averages for parabolic rational maps. We establish a conditional variational principle and prove the real analyticity and strict monotonicity of the Birkhoff spectrum, as well as the existence and uniqueness of the measure attaining the supremum in the conditional variational principle, on a certain region. To this end, we prove the existence and uniqueness of an expanding equilibrium measure and the real analyticity of the pressure function on a suitable domain. For parabolic systems, our approach using thermodynamic formalism provides a unified framework for establishing the conditional variational principle and investigating finer properties of the Birkhoff spectrum, including its real analyticity, strict monotonicity, and the existence and uniqueness of a measure attaining the supremum on a certain region.
