Central limit theorem versus entropy in dynamical systems context

A dynamical system $(S^1,T, \mu)$, $T_* \mu=\mu$, $T$ ergodic, $S^1$ is circle. Assume it has central limit theorem. Want to know the relation between its measure-theoretic entropy $h_{\mu}(T)$ and ...

What statistical data/quantities are known about the time spent by a generic orbit of an ergodic system in a fixed set?

By the ergodic theorem, we know that for almost every point, the average time spent by an orbit in a set is equal to the relative measure of that set. What other information about that time can we ...

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 ...

Convergence in probability results with still open point-wise versions

In ergodic theory and more generally in stochastic processes, often convergence in probability results precede convergence almost-surely results in quite a few years. Classical examples include the ...

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 ...

Weighted distribution of irrational rotation

Let $\theta\in [0,1]\setminus\mathbb{Q}$. Let $\alpha_0=\theta$ and $\alpha_1=1$. Let $0<p_0<1$ and $p_1=1-p_0$. For a finite word $I=(i_1, i_2, \dots, i_n)\in \{0,1\}^n$, denote by $I'=(i_1, ...

What dynamical properties should we expect from systems satisfying statistical ones?

Some results on probability theory can be generalized to more abstract ones in ergodic theory, for example: the strong law of large numbers can be seen as a particular case of Birkhoff's ergodic ...

Maximal ergodic theorem on some dyadic intervals

What we refer to maximal ergodic theorem in this thread is the following: let $\left(\Omega,\mathcal F,\mu\right)$ be a probability space and let $T\colon\Omega\to \Omega$ be a measurable and measure ...

Question about martin boundaries of random walks induced on transient subgroups

Suppose $\Gamma$ is a discrete, finitely generated, non-amenable group, and consider a random walk given by a measure $\mu$. Assume the measure is symmetric, finitely generated, and the support of $\...

On the decay of correlations of an ergodic sequence over the set $X_{0}=0$

The following question arose while I was trying to explore possible further extensions of a CLT by Liverani which I mentioned here already (see this link, I can tell you more details upon request). It ...

Existence of ergodic subgroup invariant to a product measure

Let $X=\{0, 1\}^{\mathbb{N}}$ and $G$ be the group of permutations, each of which only permutes finitely many coordinates of $X$. Fix a sequence $(\lambda_n)_{n\in \mathbb{N}} \subseteq (0, 1]$ and ...

Correlation decay rate

Let $T$ be a continuous transformation of a probability measure space $(X,\mathcal{B}(X),\mu)$ and $\varphi ,\phi \in L^2(\mu)$ (so-called observable) . The correlation function of $\varphi ,\phi$ (a ...

A weighted ergodic average

According to my simulations, it looks like the number of times that the $N$ first iterates $u_0$, $\ldots$, $u_{N-1}$ of the sequence $(u_n)$ defined here meets an interval $I$ is close to $N|I|$ ...

Two mixing rates of random dynamical system

Regularity of the pdf of partial Birkhoff sums

Suppose that $T: X \to X$ is some measurable map on a Riemannian manifold $X$ (possibly with boundary). Let $\mu$ denote the Riemannian measure on $X$. For measurable, real-valued $g$ we may consider ...

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: $\int (P a) \cdot b d\mu= \int a \cdot (b \circ T) d\mu$ ...

Entropy of Bernoulli walks on semi-groups.

Consider the Fibonacci semi-group $<L,R|LRR=RLL>$ with a Bernoulli walk $P(R)=p, P(L)=1-p$. Is the entropy $H(p)$ an unimodal function with maximum at p=0.5? Is this true for all finitely ...
