DESCRIPTION:Title: Slo
w continued fractions\, Minkowski functions and the joint spectral radius<
/a>\nby Giovanni Panti (Università degli Studi di Udine) as part of Breme
n Online Dynamics Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nEvery unimodular partition of the
real unit interval in m pieces gives\nrise to $2^m$ slow continued fracti
on maps. Many such maps have names\n(Farey fractions\, ceiling fractions\,
even/odd fractions\, ...)\, but most\nare nameless. Certain properties ar
e commonly shared (for example\, the\nvalidity of Lagrange's theorem)\, wh
ile other features are more delicate\n(the validity of the Serret theorem\
, the description of the unique a.c.\ninvariant measure\, the characteriza
tion of purely periodic points\, ...).\n\nAny slow continued fraction map
determines a Minkowski function\, namely\nthe distribution function of the
measure of maximal entropy. These\nMinkowski functions have a well-define
d average Holder exponent (studied\nby many authors\, and related to the d
imension of the measure)\, as well\nas a least Holder exponent. The latter
has the form log(m)/2*log(r)\,\nwith r a quadratic irrational\, the joint
spectral radius of the iterated\nfunction system given by the inverse bra
nches of the map.\n\nIt is plausible that every IFS with maps in $\\mathrm
{GL}(2\,\\mathbb Z)$ has algebraic joint\nspectral radius\, but as far as
we know this issue has not been settled.\nWe show however\, in joint work
with Davide Sclosa\, that this is indeed\nthe case for IFSs over two maps
in $\\mathrm{SL}(2\,\\mathbb Z_{\\geq 0})$.\n

irrational numbers and the most non-zero quadratic forms. This talk is abo
ut a new proof using hyperbolic geometry. The main ingredients are a dicti
onary to translate between hyperbolic geometry and algebra/number theory\,
and some very\nbasic tools borrowed from modern geometric Teichmüller th

s play an important role\, and so does the problem: How far can a straight

ger equation with pair interaction. The complexity of\nsolutions generally
grow exponentially in the particle number\, so for\nlarge N coarse-graine
d or effective descriptions are desirable. From a\nmathematical physics po
int of view\, one aims at deriving effective\nequations in a rigorous way\
, i.e.\, proving that their solutions converge\nto the solutions of the Sc
hroedinger equation in a suitable topology. In\nthis talk\, we will consid
er the dynamics in the mean-field limit\, which\nhas been studied extensiv
ely in the last two decades. I will present an\noverview about the researc

t of Bremen Online Dynamics Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nGroups without non-triv
ial low dimensional representations\,\nnamed quasi-random by Gowers\, have
recently found many applications in\nstudying group theoretical problems
of combinatorial nature. Loosely\nspeaking\, non-existence of such repres
entations forces the product map\non the group mapping $(a\, b)$ to their
product $ab$ to have a certain mixing\nbehavior.\n\nIn this talk\, after b
riefly recalling the notion of quasi randomness\, I\nwill discuss a gener
alisation of this concept to the class of compact\ngroups. This property\,
called local randomness\, is formulated in terms\nof unitary representati
ons of the compact group $G$ and captures a similar\nmixing behavior at al
l scales. I will discuss a number of related\nresults including a classif
ication of locally random groups\, a mixing\ninequality\, and\, if time al

tract\nRandom substitutions and their associated subshifts provide\na mode
l for structures that exhibit both long range order and positive\nentropy.
In this talk we discuss the entropy of a large class of ergodic\nmeasures
\, known as frequency measures\, that arise naturally from random\nsubstit
utions. We introduce a new measure of complexity\, namely measure\ntheore
tic inflation word entropy\, and discuss its relationship to\nmeasure theo
retic entropy. We also show how this new measure of\ncomplexity can be us
ed to provide a framework for the systematic study\nof the measure theoret
ic entropy of random substitution subshifts.\n\nAs an application of our r
esults\, we obtain closed form formulas for the\nentropy of a wide range o
f random substitution subshifts and show that\nin many cases there exists
a frequency measure of maximal entropy.\nFurther\, for a class of random s
ubstitution subshifts\, we show that this\nmeasure is the unique measure o
f maximal entropy.\n\nThis is joint work with P. Gohlke\, R. Leek\, D. Rus

DESCRIPTION:Title: Mea
surements in Dynamical Systems\nby Carlangelo Liverani (U Roma „Tor
Vergata“) as part of Bremen Online Dynamics Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nVery
often a measurement of a physical system takes the form of a finite\ntime
average for some observable. For infinite time averages Birkhoff's\ntheore
m classifies all the possible outcomes in terms of the invariant\nmeasures
of the system. The study of the\, much more realistic\, finite\ntime aver
ages is equivalent to investigating at which speed the limit is\nattained.
This problem is only partially understood\, essentially we\nunderstand fe
w special cases. Yet\, our current knowledge shows that the\nbehaviour dep
ends drastically from the properties of the system. In the\nstudy of such
a problem functional analysis\, probability theory\, and\ngeometry play ma
jor roles. I will attempt to give an overview of the\nsubject.\n\nThis is
a joint event with the mathematical colloquium at the\nUniversity of Breme

DESCRIPTION:Title: St
rong positive recurrence for geodesic flows\nby Barbara Schapira (Univ
ersité Rennes 1) as part of Bremen Online Dynamics Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\
nIn a recent paper with S Gouezel and S Tapie\, in the context of geodesic
\nflows of noncompact negatively curved manifolds\, we propose three\ndiff
erent definitions of entropy and pressure at infinity\, through\ngrowth of
periodic orbits\, critical exponents of Poincaré series\, and\nentropy (
pressure) of invariant measures. We show that these notions\ncoincide. Tha
nks to these entropy and pressure at infinity\, we\ninvestigate thoroughly
the notion of strong positive recurrence in this\ngeometric context. A po
tential is said strongly positively recurrent\nwhen its pressure at infini
ty is strictly smaller than the full\ntopological pressure. We show in par
ticular that if a potential is\nstrongly positively recurrent\, then it ad
mits a finite Gibbs measure. We\nalso provide easy criteria allowing to bu
ild such strong positively\nrecurrent potentials and many examples.\n\nDur
ing the talk\, I will present some of these points\, to give to the\naudie
nce the flavour of this work.\n

arse-graining of transport in non-autonomous systems\nby Péter Koltai
(FU Berlin) as part of Bremen Online Dynamics Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nThe
decomposition of the state space of a dynamical system into almost\ninvari
ant sets is important for understanding its essential macroscopic\nbehavio
r. The concept is reasonably well understood for autonomous\ndynamical sys
tems\, and recently a generalization appeared for\nnon-autonomous systems:
coherent sets. Aiming at a unified theory\, in\nthis talk we will first p
resent connections between the\nmeasure-theoretic autonomous and non-auton
omous concepts. We shall do\nthis by considering the augmented state space
. Second\, we will extend\nthe framework to finite-time systems\, and show
that it is especially\nwell-suited for manipulating the mixing properties
of the dynamics.\nThird\, we will show how this framework can be used to
identify the birth\nand death of coherent sets.\n

ng problem to find good symbolic codings for\nKronecker toral translatio
ns that enjoy the beautiful properties\nof Sturmian sequences like low fa
ctor complexity and good local\ndiscrepancy properties. \nWe construct suc
h codings in terms of multidimensional continued fraction\nalgorithms that
are realized by sequences of substitutions. In particular\,\ngiven any st
rongly convergent continued fraction algorithm\, these sequences\nlead to
renormalization schemes which produce symbolic codings and bounded\nremain
der sets at all scales in a natural way. Such sets \nprovide particular
ly strong convergence properties of ergodic sums\, \nand are also closel
y related to the notion of balance in word\ncombinatorics. \n As strong c
onvergence of a continued fraction algorithm results in a Pisot\ntype prop
erty\, our approach provides a systematic way to confirm purely\ndiscrete
\nspectrum results for wide classes of substitutions.\nThis is joint wor

DESCRIPTION:Title: Gi
bbs measures vs. random walks in negative curvature\nby Ilya Gekhtman
(Technion) as part of Bremen Online Dynamics Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nThe id
eal boundary of a negatively curved manifold naturally\ncarries two types
of measures.\nOn the one hand\, we have conditionals for equilibrium (Gibb
s) states\nassociated to Hoelder potentials\; these include the Patterson-
Sullivan\nmeasure and the Liouville measure. On the other hand\, we have s
tationary\nmeasures coming from random walks on the fundamental group.\n
We compare and contrast these two classes.First\, we show that both\nof t
hese of these measures can be associated to geodesic flow invariant\nmeasu
res on the unit tangent bundle\, with respect to which closed\ngeodesics s
atisfy different equidistribution properties. Second\, we show\nthat the a
bsolute continuity between a harmonic measure and a Gibbs\nmeasure is equi
valent to a relation between entropy\, (generalized)\ndrift and critical
exponent\, generalizing previous formulas of\nGuivarc’h\, Ledrappier\, a
nd Blachere-Haissinsky-Mathieu. This shows that\nif the manifold (or more
generally\, a CAT(-1) quotient) is geometrically\nfinite but not convex co
compact\, stationary measures are always singular\nwith respect to Gibbs m
easures.\nA major technical tool is a generalization of a deviation inequa
lity due\nto Ancona saying the so called Green distance associated to the
random\nwalk is nearly additive along geodesics in the universal cover.\nP
art of this is based on joint work with Gerasimov-Potyagailo-Yang and\npar

e fundamental inequality for random walks on cocompact Fuchsian groups
\nby Giulio Tiozzo (University of Toronto) as part of Bremen Online Dynami
cs Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nSeveral stochastic processes are defined on the
hyperbolic plane H^2. For instance\, one can consider a Brownian motion\,
or a discretized version thereof\, when one performs a random walk on the
group of isometries of H^2. \n\nIt is a recurring question\, going back to
Furstenberg\, Guivarc’h\, Ledrappier\, Kaimanovich\, and others\, \nwhe
ther the measures obtained from the random walks coincide with measures of
geometric origin\, such as the Lebesgue measure. \n\nWe prove that the hi
tting measure is singular with respect to Lebesgue measure for any random
walk on a cocompact Fuchsian group generated by translations on opposite s
ides of a symmetric hyperbolic polygon. This addresses a question of Kaima
novich-Le Prince. \n\nJoint with P. Kosenko.\n

line Dynamics Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nA classical example of an Anosov flow
is the geodesic flow associated to\na compact hyperbolic manifold M\, for
which the periodic orbits of the\nflow correspond to closed geodesics in
M. In general\, Anosov flows are\nnot so well behaved: there may be infini
tely many periodic orbits in a\nfree homotopy class\, in contract to geode
sic flows. In this talk we\ndiscuss the problem of counting periodic orbit
s in infinite covering\nmanifolds\, where we relate the exponential growth
rate of periodic\norbits in the cover to properties of the covering group
. One of the\ntools is a new result for non-symmetric group extensions of
subshifts of\nfinite type which includes a result on non-symmetric random
walks. I\nwill spend some time motivating the problems and give the perspe

that in the case when the non-linearity is super-linear\, the\nconsidered

ossesses smooth uniform attractors as well as non-autonomous exponential\n

to the random dissipation rate\, for instance\, when this dissipation\nrat

DESCRIPTION:Title: Ca
nonical decomposition of rational maps\nby Mikhail Hlushchanka (Utrech
t University) as part of Bremen Online Dynamics Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nThe
re are various classical and more recent decomposition results in mapping
class group theory\, geometric group theory\, and complex dynamics (which
include celebrated results by Bill Thurston). The goal of this talk is to
introduce a novel powerful decomposition of rational maps based on the top
ological structure of their Julia sets. Namely\, we will discuss the follo
wing result: every postcritically-finite rational map with non-empty Fatou
set can be canonically decomposed into crochet maps (these have very "thi
nly connected" Julia sets) and Sierpinski carpet maps (these have very "he
avily connected" Julia sets). If time permits\, I will discuss application
s of this result in various aspects of geometric group theory. Based on a
joint work with Dima Dudko and Dierk Schleicher.\n

cate geometric-measure-theoretic properties of dynamical limit sets is oft
en an endeavor beset with myriad challenges. In this vein\, we focus on th
e dimension-theoretic study of continued fraction Cantor sets -- a rich se
am inaugurated by the work of Jarník and Besicovitch in the 1920s. I will
report on two projects about such fascinating fractals. The first conside
rs small perturbations of a conformal iterated function system (CIFS)\; wh
ile the second resolves two recent questions posed by Chousionis\, Leykekh
man\, and Urbański regarding the dimension spectrum of a CIFS (i.e. the s
et of all Hausdorff dimensions of its various subsystem limit sets). We ho
pe to present several interesting problems and directions that await resol
ution and explorations by the brilliant Bremen dynamics group 🙂\n

y Anja Randecker (University of Heidelberg) as part of Bremen Online Dynam
ics Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nTranslation surfaces arise naturally in many di
fferent contexts such as the theory of mathematical billiards\, of Teichm
üller spaces\, or of stability conditions of categories.\nA translation s
urface can be described by finitely many polygons that are glued along edg
es which are parallel and have the same length.\n\nFrom a dynamical system
point of view\, it is interesting to study the geodesic flow on translati
on surfaces. These flows are strongly related to interval exchange transfo
rmations.\n\nIn my talk\, I will explain this relation and give an explici
t description of translation surfaces of genus 2 where the horizontal geod
esic flow is completely periodic. The talk is based on joint work in progr
ess with Binbin Xu.\n

rich) as part of Bremen Online Dynamics Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nIn his 2006
ICM lecture\, Ghys made the following observation: the winding of a close
d geodesic around the cusp of the modular surface can be computed using a
function from the theory of modular forms\; the Rademacher function. In jo
int work with Flemming von Essen\, we studied how and when generalizations
of the Rademacher function also encode the winding for closed geodesics a
round the cusps of hyperbolic surfaces. For certain families of surfaces\,
we use a Selberg trace formula argument to obtain precise statistical res
ults on these winding numbers.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Dy
namical systems lacking spectral gaps: functional inequalities and converg
ence rates\nby Jonathan Ben-Artzi (Cardiff University) as part of Brem
en Online Dynamics Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nOur world is neither compact nor
periodic. It is therefore natural to consider dynamical systems on unboun
ded domains\, where typically there is no spectral gap. I will present a (
simple) method for studying the generators of such systems where a spectra
l gap assumption is replaced with an estimate of the Density of States (Do
S) near zero. There are two main applications:\n\n1) Dissipative systems:
when the generator is non-negative\, an estimate of the DoS leads to a so-
called "weak Poincaré inequality" (WPI). This in turn leads (in some case
s) to an algebraic decay rate for the $L^2$ norm of the solution. For inst
ance\, in the case of the Laplacian (generator of the heat equation) the W
PI is simply the Nash inequality which leads to the optimal decay rate of
$t^{-d/4}$.\n\n2) Conservative systems: when the generator is skew-adjoint
\, an estimate of the DoS leads to a uniform ergodic theorem on an appropr
iate subspace. Examples include the linear Schrödinger equation and incom
pressible flows in Euclidean space.\n\nBased on joint works with Amit Eina
v (Durham) and Baptiste Morisse (formerly a postdoc at Cardiff).\n

lf-adjoint Laplacians\, symmetric semigroups and diffusions on hyperbolic
attractors\nby Shayan Alikhanloo (Uni Bielefeld) as part of Bremen Onl
ine Dynamics Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nAnalysis on smooth manifolds\, foliate
d spaces and fractals in terms of Dirichlet forms is well established. But
such an analysis on hyperbolic attractors is yet to be explored. We use t
he core material and central results from the theory of hyperbolic dynamic
al systems such as the stable manifold theorem and physical measures to in
troduce self-adjoint Laplacians\, symmetric Markov semigroups and symmetri
c diffusions via Dirichlet forms. In particular\, this may be seen as far-
reaching extension of well-known classical analysis on geodesic flows on m
anifolds of negative sectional curvature. This talk is based on a joint wo
rk with Michael Hinz.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Tr
ansfer operators and dimension of bad sets for non-uniform fuchsian lattic
es\nby Luca Marchese ((University of Bologna)) as part of Bremen Onlin
e Dynamics Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nThe set of badly approximable real numbe
rs admits an exhaustion in sets Bad(c) with c>0\, whose dimension goes to
zero as c goes to zero. D. Hensley computed the asymptotic for the dimensi
on up to the first order in c\, via an estimate for the dimension of the s
et of real numbers whose continued fraction has partial quotiens bounded b
y a fixed parameter. We consider diophantine approximations by parabolic f
iwed points of any non-uniform lattice in PSL(2\,R) and the corresponding
notion of badly approximable real numbers. We compute the dimension of the
set of such points up to the first order in c>0\, via the thermodynamic m
ethod of Ruelle and Bowen. Geometric good approximations are related to a
notion of bounded partial quotients for the Bowen-Series expansion. This g
ives a family of Cantor sets and associated quasi-compact transfer operato
rs\, with simple and positive maximal eigenvalue. Then perturbative analys
is of spectra applies.\n
