Local maximality for bounded plurifinely plurisubharmonic functions

In this paper, we prove that \(\mathcal {F}\)-maximality is an \(\mathcal {F}\)-local notion for bounded \(\mathcal {F}\)-plurisubharmonic functions.     

On certain hyperbolic sets

Two invariant sets F of certain diffeomorphisms S that were described by A. Fathi, S. Crovisier, and T. Fisher as examples of hyperbolic sets with the property (unexpected at that time) that, in some neighborhood of such an F, there is no locally maximal set containing F are considered. It is proved that this property, although referring to the behavior of the orbits of S near F, is ultimately determined in the examples mentioned above by a combination of a certain explicitly stated intrinsic property of the action of S on F with the hyperbolicity of F. (This means that if a hyperbolic set F′ for a diffeomorphism S′ is equivariantly homeomorphic to a Fathi-Crovisier or a Fisher set, then F′ has a neighborhood in which S′ has no locally maximal set containing F′.)     

Limit sets of relatively hyperbolic groups

In this paper, we prove a limit set intersection theorem in relatively hyperbolic groups. Our approach is based on a study of dynamical quasiconvexity of relatively quasiconvex subgroups. Using dynamical quasiconvexity, many well-known results on limit sets of geometrically finite Kleinian groups are derived in general convergence groups. We also establish dynamical quasiconvexity of undistorted subgroups in finitely generated groups with nontrivial Floyd boundaries.     

Small tight sets of hyperbolic quadrics

An x-tight set of a hyperbolic quadric Q ⁺(2n + 1, q) can be described as a set M of points with the property that the number of points of M in the tangent hyperplanes of points of M is as big as possible. We show that such a set is necessarily the union of x mutually disjoint generators provided that x ≤ q and n ≤ 3, or that x < q, n ≥ 4 and q ≥ 71. This unifies and generalizes many results on x-tight sets that are presently known, see (J Comb Theory Ser A 114(7):1293–1314 [1], J Comb Des 16(4):342–349 [5], Des Codes Cryptogr 50:187–201 [4], Adv Geom 4(3):279–286 [8], Bull Lond Math Soc 42(6):991–996 [11]).     

Tangent measure distributions of hyperbolic Cantor sets

Tangent measure distributions were introduced byBandt [2] andGraf [8] as a means to describe the local geometry of self-similar sets generated by iteration of contractive similitudes. In this paper we study the tangent measure distributions of hyperbolic Cantor sets generated by certain contractive mappings, which are not necessarily similitudes. We show that the tangent measure distributions of these sets equipped with either Hausdorff- or Gibbs measure are unique almost everywhere and give an explicit formula describing them as probability distributions on the set of limit models ofBedford andFisher [5].     

Random C 0 homeomorphism perturbations of hyperbolic sets

In this note we consider random C ⁰ homeomorphism perturbations of a hyperbolic set of a C ¹ diffeomorphism. We show that the hyperbolic set is semi-stable under such perturbations, in particular, the topological entropy will not decrease under such perturbations.     

Singular sets of planar hyperbolic billiards are regular

Many planar hyperbolic billiards are conjectured to be ergodic. This paper represents a first step towards the proof of this conjecture. The Hopf argument is a standard technique for proving the ergodicity of a smooth hyperbolic system. Under additional hypotheses, this technique also applies to certain hyperbolic systems with singularities, including hyperbolic billiards. The supplementary hypotheses concern the subset of the phase space where the system fails to be C ² differentiable. In this work, we give a detailed proof of one of these hypotheses for a large collection of planar hyperbolic billiards. Namely, we prove that the singular set and each of its iterations consist of a finite number of compact curves of class C ² with finitely many intersection points.     

Lipschitz equivalence of self-similar sets and hyperbolic boundaries

Kaimanovich (2003) [9] introduced the concept of augmented tree on the symbolic space of a self-similar set. It is hyperbolic in the sense of Gromov, and it was shown by Lau and Wang (2009)  [12] that under the open set condition, a self-similar set can be identified with the hyperbolic boundary of the tree. In the paper, we investigate in detail a class of simple augmented trees and the Lipschitz equivalence of such trees. The main purpose is to use this to study the Lipschitz equivalence problem of the totally disconnected self-similar sets which has been undergoing some extensive development recently.     

Local audibility of a hyperbolic metric

A Riemannian metric g on a compact boundaryless manifold is said to be locally audible if the following statement is true for every metric g′ sufficiently close to g: if g and g′ are isospectral then they are isometric. The local audibility is proved of a metric of constant negative sectional curvature.     

The nonmonotonic twist maps and basic hyperbolic sets

The existence of horseshoes for a family of nonmonotonic twist maps is established. And it is proved that the Hausdorff dimension of the horseshoes goes to the dimension of phase space as the parameter goes to infinity.     

Asymptotics of convex sets in Euclidean and hyperbolic spaces

We study convex sets C of finite (but non-zero) volume in Hn and En. We show that the intersection C_∞ of any such set with the ideal boundary of Hn has Minkowski (and thus Hausdorff) dimension of at most (n−1)/2, and this bound is sharp, at least in some dimensions n. We also show a sharp bound when C_∞ is a smooth submanifold of _∂∞Hn. In the hyperbolic case, we show that for any k?(n−1)/2 there is a bounded section S of C through any prescribed point p, and we show an upper bound on the radius of the ball centered at p containing such a section. We show similar bounds for sections through the origin of a convex body in En, and give asymptotic estimates as 1?k?n.     

About C 1-minimality of the hyperbolic Cantor sets

In this work we prove that a C ^1+α -hyperbolic Cantor set contained in S ¹ that is close to an affine Cantor set is not C ¹-minimal.
