Abstract

Constructing discrete models of stochastic partial differential equations is very delicate. Stochastic centre manifold theory provides novel support for coarse grained, macroscale, spatial discretisations of nonlinear stochastic partial differential or difference equations such as the example of the stochastically forced Burgers' equation. Dividing the physical domain into finite length overlapping elements empowers the approach to resolve fully coupled dynamical interactions between neighbouring elements. The crucial aspect of this approach is that the underlying theory organises the resolution of the vast multitude of subgrid microscale noise processes interacting via the nonlinear dynamics within and between neighbouring elements. Noise processes with coarse structure across a finite element are the most significant noises for the discrete model. Their influence also diffuses away to weakly correlate the noise in the spatial discretisation. Nonlinear interactions have two further consequences: additive forcing generates multiplicative noise in the discretisation; and effectively new noise processes appear in the macroscale discretisation. The techniques and theory developed here may be applied to soundly discretise many dissipative stochastic partial differential and difference equations.

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.
