Regularity and other properties of absolutely continuous invariant measures for the quadratic family

In the current paper we study in more detail some properties of the absolutely continuous invariant measures constructed in the course of the proof of Jakobson's Theorem. In particular, we show that the density of the invariant measure is continuous at Misiurewicz points. From this we deduce that the Lyapunov exponent is also continuous at these points (our considerations apply just to the parameters constructed in the proof of Jakobson's Theorem). Other properties, like the positivity of the Lyapunov exponent, uniqueness of the absolutely continuous invariant measure and exactness of the corresponding dynamical system, are also proved.This paper was written during the author's stay at the IAS while supported by NSF grant DMS-860 1978     

A comparison of the Shannon and Kullback information measures

Two widely used information measures are compared. It is shown that the Kullback measure, unlike the Shannon measure, provides the basis for a consistent theory of information which extends to continuous sample spaces and to nonconstant prior distributions. It is shown that the Kullback measure is a generalization of the Shannon measure, and that the Kullback measure has more reasonable additivity properties than does the Shannon measure. The results lend support to Jaynes's entropy maximization procedure.     

Absence of Singular Continuous Diffraction for Discrete Multi-Component Particle Models

Particle models with finitely many types of particles are considered, both on ℤ ^d and on discrete point sets of finite local complexity. Such sets include many standard examples of aperiodic order such as model sets or certain substitution systems. The particle gas is defined by an interaction potential and a corresponding Gibbs measure. Under some reasonable conditions on the underlying point set and the potential, we show that the corresponding diffraction measure almost surely exists and consists of a pure point part and an absolutely continuous part with continuous density. In particular, no singular continuous part is present.     

On YM2 measures and area-preserving diffeomorphisms

For a given gauge group and compact Riemannian two-manifold, it is known that the associated Yang-Mills measure can be defined directly as a finitely additive measure on the space of connections, and this finitely additive measure is invariant with respect to SDiff, the group of all area-preserving diffeomorphisms of the surface. The first question we address is whether this symmetry essentially characterizes the projection of the Yang-Mills measure to the space of gauge equivalence classes. The proper formulation of this question entails the construction of an SDiff-equivariant equivariant completion of the space of continuous connections, such that the projection of the Yang-Mills measure to the space of gauge equivalence classes has a countably additive extension. We also consider the coupling of the Yang-Mills measure to determinants of Dirac operators. The basic problems are to prove that the coupled measure is absolutely continuous with respect to the background Yang-Mills measure, to find a reasonable formula for the Radon-Nikodym derivative, and to analyze the action of SDiff.     

Infrared Regular Representation of the Three-Dimensional Massless Nelson Model

We prove that in the Euclidean representation of the three-dimensional massless Nelson model, the t = 0 projection of the interacting measure is absolutely continuous with respect to a Gaussian measure with a suitably adjusted mean. We also determine the Hamiltonian in the Fock space over this Gaussian measure space.     

Measurement of Quantum Correlation on Two-Mode Continuous State

In this paper, we investigated measurement of quantum correlation for two mode continuous variable systems, and constructed two operators to measure quantum correlation of continuous variable systems. These operators not only can be criteria for quantum correlation, but also can be measurement for quantum correlation.     

模糊熵算法在混沌序列复杂度分析中的应用

为了准确分析混沌序列的复杂性, 采用模糊熵算法(FuzzyEn) 对典型离散混沌系统和连续混沌系统的复杂度进行分析. 与近似熵(ApEn)、 样本熵(SampEn) 和强度统计复杂度算法相比, FuzzyEn算法是一种更有效的混沌复杂度测度算法, 且对相空间维数(m)、 相似容限度(r) 和序列长度(N) 的敏感性、 依赖性更低, 鲁棒性和测度值的连续性更好. 对混沌系统的复杂性分析表明, 连续混沌系统的复杂度远小于离散混沌系统, 但是如果利用高复杂度的离散混沌伪随机序列或经典 m序列对连续混沌系统产生的伪随机序列进行扰动, 则能大大提高混沌序列的复杂性. 为混沌序列在密码学和混沌保密通信中的应用提供了理论依据.     

Remark on the (non)convergence of ensemble densities in dynamical systems

We consider a dynamical system with state space M, a smooth, compact subset of some R(n), and evolution given by T(t), x(t)=T(t)x, x in M; T(t) is invertible and the time t may be discrete, t in Z, T(t)=T(t), or continuous, t in R. Here we show that starting with a continuous positive initial probability density rho(x,0)>0, with respect to dx, the smooth volume measure induced on M by Lebesgue measure on R(n), the expectation value of logrho(x,t), with respect to any stationary (i.e., time invariant) measure nu(dx), is linear in t, nu(logrho(x,t))=nu(logrho(x,0))+Kt. K depends only on nu and vanishes when nu is absolutely continuous with respect to dx.(c) 1998 American Institute of Physics.     

Ergodicity of Some Open Systems with Particle-Disk Interactions

We consider steady states for a class of mechanical systems with particle-disk interactions coupled to two, possibly unequal, heat baths. We show that any steady state that satisfies some natural assumptions is ergodic and absolutely continuous with respect to a Lebesgue-type reference measure and conclude that there exists at most one absolutely continuous steady state.     

Random composition of two rational maps: Singularity of the invariant measure

We study the invariant measure of a Markov chain obtained by randomly composing two rational maps related to the Anderson model with a Bernoulli potential. For a certain range of the parameters we show that the invariant measure is singular continuous. In certain cases the support turns out to be a Cantor set with a multifractal structure.     

The Absolutely Continuous Spectrum of One-Dimensional Schrödinger Operators with Decaying Potentials

We investigate one-dimensional Schr?dinger operators with asymptotically small potentials. It will follow from our results that if with , then is an essential support of the absolutely continuous part of the spectral measure. We also prove that if , then the spectrum is purely absolutely continuous on . These results are optimal. Received: 25 June 1997 / Accepted: 29 July 1997     

Random Fields on Model Sets with Localized Dependency and Their Diffraction

For a random field on a general discrete set, we introduce a condition that the range of the correlation from each site is within a predefined compact set D. For such a random field ?? defined on the model set ?? that satisfies a natural geometric condition, we develop a method to calculate the diffraction measure of the random field. The method partitions the random field into a finite number of random fields, each being independent and admitting the law of large numbers. The diffraction measure of ?? consists almost surely of a pure-point component and an absolutely continuous component. The former is the diffraction measure of the expectation E[??], while the inverse Fourier transform of the absolutely continuous component of ?? turns out to be a weighted Dirac comb which satisfies a simple formula. Moreover, the pure-point component will be understood quantitatively in a simple exact formula if the weights are continuous over the internal space of ??. Then we provide a sufficient condition that the diffraction measure of a random field on a model set is still pure-point.     

Volume functions in general relativity

It is shown that on every spacetime there is a finite Borel measure such that open sets have positive measure and the topological boundary of the chronological past/future of every point has measure zero. Using this measure volume, functions are defined. It is shown that they are semicontinuous, and the set of points at which they are discontinuous is a union of nullgeodesics. The following causality conditions are characterized in terms of their properties: chronological, distinguishing, strongly causal, causally continuous, globally hyperbolic.     

Area expectation values in quantum area Regge calculus

Regge calculus generalised to independent area tensor variables is considered. Continuous time limit is found and formal Feynman path integral measure corresponding to the canonical quantisation is written out. Quantum measure in the completely discrete theory is found which possesses the property to lead to the Feynman path integral in the continuous time limit whatever coordinate is chosen as the time. This measure can be well defined by passing to the integration over imaginary field variables (area tensors). Averaging with the help of this measure gives finite expectation values for areas.

Non-uniform Specification and Large Deviations for Weak Gibbs Measures

We establish bounds for the measure of deviation sets associated to continuous observables with respect to not necessarily invariant weak Gibbs measures. Under some mild assumptions, we obtain upper and lower bounds for the measure of deviation sets of some non-uniformly expanding maps, including quadratic maps and robust multidimensional non-uniformly expanding local diffeomorphisms. For that purpose, a measure theoretical weak form of specification is introduced and proved to hold for the robust classes of multidimensional non-uniformly expanding local diffeomorphisms and Viana maps.

Quantum games via search algorithms

We build new quantum games, similar to the spin flip game, where as a novelty the players perform measurements on a quantum system associated to a continuous time search algorithm. The measurements collapse the wave function into one of the two possible states. These games are characterized by a continuous space of strategies and the selection of a particular strategy is determined by the moments when the players measure.
