Abstract

We investigate conditions and obstructions for the existence of ergodic full measures in the context of countable observables on compact spaces. Extending the theory in a unified way, we are able to show a complete picture via thermodynamic formalism for symbolic, uniformly hyperbolic and related systems. We prove conditional variational principles for the topological entropy, showing good approximations by ergodic full measures, and we give conditions where we precisely get ergodic full measures. In contrast with the case with a finite number of observables, new phenomena appear: we exhibit explicit examples of level sets with a null measure with respect to any invariant measure but having large entropy. On the other hand, based on induced ergodic systems in the sense of Kakutani-Rokhlin and heavily utilizing the formalism for countable Markov shifts, we go beyond the classical thermodynamic approach and show a different way of building ergodic full measures. Additionally, we study the regularity and shape of the entropy spectrum and, in the end, we also give some applications of the main conditional variational principles.

Hilbert's 16th problem through Morse theory

We focus on the second part of Hilbert's 16th problem and provide an upper bound on the number of limit cycles that a polynomial, differential, planar system may have, depending exclusively on the degree $n$ of the system. Such a bound turns out to be a polynomial of degree $4$ in $n$. More specifically, if $H(n)$ indicates the maximum number of limit cycles among planar, differential, polynomial systems of degree $n$, then \begin{gather} H(n)\le \dfrac52 n^4-\dfrac{23}2 n^3+ \dfrac{43}2n^2-\dfrac{37}2n+7\,\,\,\, \mbox{if $n$ is even, and} \nonumber H(n)\le \dfrac52 n^4-\dfrac{23}2 n^3+ \dfrac{41}2n^2-\dfrac{33}2n+6\,\,\,\, \mbox{if $n$ is odd}.\nonumber \end{gather} For quadratic systems, we find $H(2)=4$. Our proof is entirely variational and utilizes in a fundamental way tools and facts from Morse theory, to the point that no particular expertise in dynamical systems is necessary or required. It is particularly interesting to compare our results with the ones for the same problem recently announced and made public by OpenAI as part of the solution of hundreds of important mathematical problems.

On the Dynamics of Invariant Graphs for Dissipative Twist Maps

We study the persistence and internal dynamics of invariant graphs for dissipative twist maps. Explicit $C^1$ persistence and parameter estimates allow every real rotation number to be realized by varying either translation parameter, while arbitrarily small zero-mean analytic perturbations at fixed irrational horizontal parameters can yield analytic graphs with dynamics conjugate to rational rotations. With a fixed Brjuno horizontal parameter and fixed-strip analyticity, normally attracting $C^r$ graphs persist under perturbations of size $(1-λ)^γ$, for any $γ>0$ and prescribed finite $r$, as $λ\to1^-$. At the critical Lipschitz bound, the invariant graphs can carry Denjoy dynamics and have countably many nondifferentiable points, with perturbations smooth outside a null Cantor set and tending to zero in every Hölder norm of order less than one.

Non-stationary normal coordinates on neighborhoods of Pesin stable manifolds

We construct non-stationary normal coordinates in a neighborhood of Pesin stable manifolds \cite{Pesin}. This construction is a natural extension, via jets in the normal directions, of the non-stationary normal coordinates on stable manifolds introduced by Guysinsky and Katok. We emphasize that this extension provides a useful framework for describing the fractal geometric structures of stable and unstable foliations in smooth dynamical systems.
