Abstract

We establish characterizations of general nonuniform dichotomies for linear nonautonomous dynamical systems in terms of nonuniform exponential dichotomies of appropriately time-rescaled systems. In discrete time, for a class of slowly growing rates, such a characterization requires an additional condition involving a suitable notion of nonuniform ordinary dichotomy, which can be omitted for invertible systems. In continuous time, we obtain a more general characterization for a large class of growth rates, without imposing this additional condition. Our approach does not rely on adapted Lyapunov norms and applies to evolution families on arbitrary Banach spaces. As applications, we show how several results concerning general nonuniform dichotomies can be derived from their counterparts for exponential dichotomies.

Conformal hyperbolic distances and holonomies of Anosov diffeomorphisms

We use conformal hyperbolic distances to analyze the stable/unstable holonomies of Anosov diffeomorphisms. The main result is that the lengths of the stable/unstable curves in a conformal hyperbolic distance are preserved by the stable/unstable holonomies, whenever they are well-defined. In particular, the existence of a conformal hyperbolic distance with well-defined length of stable/unstable curves ensures that the holonomies are globally defined. We exhibit a conformal hyperbolic distance with well-defined length of stable/unstable curves for each real Anosov diffeomorphism, which are Anosov diffeomorphisms with a one-dimensional finest dominated splitting where contraction/expansion in each space is constant along orbits.

Some consequences of shadowing and entropy-expansiveness

Given any continuous self-map of a compact metric space, we prove that a non-empty uniformly rigid subset must be zero-dimensional, under assumptions of shadowing and h-expansiveness.

On ball expanding maps

We study the dynamical properties of ball expanding maps, a class of continuous self-maps defined on compact metric spaces. For a ball expanding map, we show that: (1) the set of periodic points is dense in the chain recurrent set; (2) if the topological entropy of the map is zero, then the chain recurrent set is finite; (3) the map has only finitely many chain components; (4) if the space is perfect, then the topological entropy of the map is positive; and (5) if the space is connected, then the map is locally eventually onto and hence mixing. Several examples are also provided.
