    The Structure on Invariant Measures of C1C^1 generic diffeomorphisms

    Full text link
    Let Λ\Lambda be an isolated non-trival transitive set of a C1C^1 generic diffeomorphism f\in\Diff(M). We show that the space of invariant measures supported on Λ\Lambda coincides with the space of accumulation measures of time averages on one orbit. Moreover, the set of points having this property is residual in Λ\Lambda (which implies the set of irregular+^+ points is also residual in Λ\Lambda). As an application, we show that the non-uniform hyperbolicity of irregular+^+ points in Λ\Lambda with totally 0 measure (resp., the non-uniform hyperbolicity of a generic subset in Λ\Lambda) determines the uniform hyperbolicity of Λ\Lambda

    Non-hyperbolic ergodic measures with large support

    Full text link
    We prove that there is a residual subset S\mathcal{S} in Diff1(M)\text{Diff}^1(M) such that, for every fSf\in \mathcal{S}, any homoclinic class of ff with invariant one dimensional central bundle containing saddles of different indices (i.e. with different dimensions of the stable invariant manifold) coincides with the support of some invariant ergodic non-hyperbolic (one of the Lyapunov exponents is equal to zero) measure of ff

    ArCo: the Italian Cultural Heritage Knowledge Graph

    Full text link
    ArCo is the Italian Cultural Heritage knowledge graph, consisting of a network of seven vocabularies and 169 million triples about 820 thousand cultural entities. It is distributed jointly with a SPARQL endpoint, a software for converting catalogue records to RDF, and a rich suite of documentation material (testing, evaluation, how-to, examples, etc.). ArCo is based on the official General Catalogue of the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities (MiBAC) - and its associated encoding regulations - which collects and validates the catalogue records of (ideally) all Italian Cultural Heritage properties (excluding libraries and archives), contributed by CH administrators from all over Italy. We present its structure, design methods and tools, its growing community, and delineate its importance, quality, and impact

    Statistical properties of Lorenz like flows, recent developments and perspectives

    Full text link
    We comment on mathematical results about the statistical behavior of Lorenz equations an its attractor, and more generally to the class of singular hyperbolic systems. The mathematical theory of such kind of systems turned out to be surprisingly difficult. It is remarkable that a rigorous proof of the existence of the Lorenz attractor was presented only around the year 2000 with a computer assisted proof together with an extension of the hyperbolic theory developed to encompass attractors robustly containing equilibria. We present some of the main results on the statisitcal behavior of such systems. We show that for attractors of three-dimensional flows, robust chaotic behavior is equivalent to the existence of certain hyperbolic structures, known as singular-hyperbolicity. These structures, in turn, are associated to the existence of physical measures: \emph{in low dimensions, robust chaotic behavior for flows ensures the existence of a physical measure}. We then give more details on recent results on the dynamics of singular-hyperbolic (Lorenz-like) attractors.Comment: 40 pages; 10 figures; Keywords: sensitive dependence on initial conditions, physical measure, singular-hyperbolicity, expansiveness, robust attractor, robust chaotic flow, positive Lyapunov exponent, large deviations, hitting and recurrence times.

    Secure Agents

    With the rapid proliferation of software agents, there comes an increased need for agents to ensure that they do not provide data and/or services to unauthorized users. We first develop an abstract definition of what it means for an agent to preserve data/action security. Most often, this requires an agent to have knowledge that is impossible to acquire --- hence, we then develop approximate security checks that take into account, the fact that an agent usually has incomplete/approximate beliefs about other agents. We develop two types of security checks --- static ones that can be checked prior to deploying the agent, and dynamic ones that are executed at run time. We prove that a number of these problems are undecidable, but under certain conditions, they are decidable and (our definition of) security can be guaranteed. Finally, we propose a language within which the developer of an agent can specify her security needs, and present provably correct algorithms for static/dynamic security verification.

    On two-dimensional surface attractors and repellers on 3-manifolds

    We show that if f:M3M3f: M^3\to M^3 is an AA-diffeomorphism with a surface two-dimensional attractor or repeller B\mathcal B and MB2 M^2_ \mathcal B is a supporting surface for B \mathcal B, then B=MB2\mathcal B = M^2_{\mathcal B} and there is k1k\geq 1 such that: 1) MB2M^2_{\mathcal B} is a union M12...Mk2M^2_1\cup...\cup M^2_k of disjoint tame surfaces such that every Mi2M^2_i is homeomorphic to the 2-torus T2T^2. 2) the restriction of fkf^k to Mi2M^2_i (i{1,...,k})(i\in\{1,...,k\}) is conjugate to Anosov automorphism of T2T^2

    Dominated Splitting and Pesin's Entropy Formula

    Full text link
    Let MM be a compact manifold and f:MMf:\,M\to M be a C1C^1 diffeomorphism on MM. If μ\mu is an ff-invariant probability measure which is absolutely continuous relative to Lebesgue measure and for μ\mu a.e.xM,a.\,\,e.\,\,x\in M, there is a dominated splitting Torb(x)M=EFT_{orb(x)}M=E\oplus F on its orbit orb(x)orb(x), then we give an estimation through Lyapunov characteristic exponents from below in Pesin's entropy formula, i.e., the metric entropy hμ(f)h_\mu(f) satisfies hμ(f)χ(x)dμ,h_{\mu}(f)\geq\int \chi(x)d\mu, where χ(x)=i=1dimF(x)λi(x)\chi(x)=\sum_{i=1}^{dim\,F(x)}\lambda_i(x) and λ1(x)λ2(x)...λdimM(x)\lambda_1(x)\geq\lambda_2(x)\geq...\geq\lambda_{dim\,M}(x) are the Lyapunov exponents at xx with respect to μ.\mu. Consequently, by using a dichotomy for generic volume-preserving diffeomorphism we show that Pesin's entropy formula holds for generic volume-preserving diffeomorphisms, which generalizes a result of Tahzibi in dimension 2

    Large deviations for non-uniformly expanding maps

    Full text link
    We obtain large deviation results for non-uniformly expanding maps with non-flat singularities or criticalities and for partially hyperbolic non-uniformly expanding attracting sets. That is, given a continuous function we consider its space average with respect to a physical measure and compare this with the time averages along orbits of the map, showing that the Lebesgue measure of the set of points whose time averages stay away from the space average decays to zero exponentially fast with the number of iterates involved. As easy by-products we deduce escape rates from subsets of the basins of physical measures for these types of maps. The rates of decay are naturally related to the metric entropy and pressure function of the system with respect to a family of equilibrium states. The corrections added to the published version of this text appear in bold; see last section for a list of changesComment: 36 pages, 1 figure. After many PhD students and colleagues having pointed several errors in the statements and proofs, this is a correction to published article answering those comments.

    Fast-slow partially hyperbolic systems versus Freidlin-Wentzell random systems

    Full text link
    We consider a simple class of fast-slow partially hyperbolic dynamical systems and show that the (properly rescaled) behaviour of the slow variable is very close to a Friedlin--Wentzell type random system for times that are rather long, but much shorter than the metastability scale. Also, we show the possibility of a "sink" with all the Lyapunov exponents positive, a phenomenon that turns out to be related to the lack of absolutely continuity of the central foliation.Comment: To appear in Journal of Statistical Physic
