A measure on the group of homeomorphisms of $\mathbb T^2$
Let us consider the group of measure-preserving homeomorphisms of $\mathbb T^2$ (with transformations identified if they agree almost
everywhere) called $G[\mathbb T^2, \mathcal L^2]$. We shall ...

Building random homeomorphisms of the torus $\mathbb T^2$
In https://arxiv.org/abs/0912.3423, a family of random homeomorphisms of the circle is constructed. Main Question: Can the construction be generalized to higher space dimensions, e.g. to $\mathbb T^2$?...

Building random homeomorphisms of the circle
Given a positive Borel measure without atoms $\tau$ on the circle $\mathbb T =\mathbb R /\mathbb Z =[0,1)$ , in https://arxiv.org/abs/0912.3423 a homeomorphism $h:[0,1)\to [0,1)$ is defined as

Are all quasi-regular points on Polish spaces generic points?
Let $X$ be a Polish space and $T\colon X\to X$ be a continuous map. We say that a point $x\in X$ is quasi-regular if for every bounded continous function $\varphi\colon X\to\mathbb{R}$ the sequence $...

Relaxation of notion of positive definite function
A function $f:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$ is called positive definite (in the semigroup sense) if for all $n\geq 1$ and $x_1,\ldots,x_n\in\mathbb{R}$ pairwise different the matrix $(f(x_i+x_j))_{i,j=1}^n$...

Can Birkhoff's ergodic theorem for integrable functions easily be deduced from Birkhoff's ergodic theorem for bounded functions?
It seems to me that a considerably simpler proof [see below] of Birkhoff's ergodic theorem can be obtained for bounded observables than for more general $L^1$ observables. Therefore, I feel like it ...

Invariant distributions for iterated random variables (stochastic dynamical systems)
This is related to discrete dynamical systems, with the initial condition $X_1$ being a random variable with a non singular distribution. The system is driven by the iteration $X_{n+1} = g(X_n)$ for ...

When the Jacobian of unstable measure converges
Let $T:X \to X$ be a hyperbolic map on the compact metric space $X$. Hyperbolicity means that $T$ has local stable and unstable sets with uniform exponential bounds, which satisfy a local product ...

Coboundary in the slow mixing systems
Given dynamical system $(X, T, \mu)$, $\mu$ is probability, $\mu \circ T =\mu$, $T$'s transfer operator $P$ is defined by following relation: $\int (P a) \cdot b d\mu= \int a \cdot (b \circ T) d\mu$ ...

Existence of solution for Poisson equation in Markov chain
Consider $X_n\in \mathcal{X}$ a controlled Markov chain taking value in a compact set $\mathcal{X}$ with action $a\in \mathcal{A}$, where the action set $|\mathcal{A}|$ is finite.
(In particular, we ...

Why aren't operator semigroups studied from a dynamical perspective?
Often times one talks about iterating a continuous map to get discrete topological dynamics, or having a 1-parameter family of continuous maps to get continuous topological dynamics.
When studying ...

Quasicompactness of transfer operators associated to IID matrix products
Let $P^1$ denote one-dimensional real projective space, and for each $A \in GL(2,\mathbb{R})$ let $\overline{A}$ denote the homeomorphism of $P^1$ induced by $A$. I am currently reading a paper which ...

Generalized Skorokhod spaces
Skorokhod spaces of càdlàg functions are an extremely useful setting to describe stochastic processes. I'd like to understand the Skorokhod topology from a pure topological point of view, without ...
