Affine Weyl groups, discrete dynamical systems and Painleve equations

A new class of representations of affine Weyl groups on rational functions are constructed, in order to formulate discrete dynamical systems associated with affine root systems. As an application, some examples of difference and differential systems of Painleve type are discussed.Comment: AMSLaTeX, 16 page

Lie algebroid structures on a class of affine bundles

We introduce the notion of a Lie algebroid structure on an affine bundle whose base manifold is fibred over the real numbers. It is argued that this is the framework which one needs for coming to a time-dependent generalization of the theory of Lagrangian systems on Lie algebroids. An extensive discussion is given of a way one can think of forms acting on sections of the affine bundle. It is further shown that the affine Lie algebroid structure gives rise to a coboundary operator on such forms. The concept of admissible curves and dynamical systems whose integral curves are admissible, brings an associated affine bundle into the picture, on which one can define in a natural way a prolongation of the original affine Lie algebroid structure.Comment: 28 page

Fully oscillating sequences and weighted multiple ergodic limit

We prove that fully oscillating sequences are orthogonal to multiple ergodic realizations of affine maps of zero entropy on compact abelian groups. It is more than what Sarnak's conjecture requires for these dynamical systems
