Lyapunov exponents of partially hyperbolic volume-preserving maps with 2-dimensional center bundle

We consider the set of partially hyperbolic symplectic diffeomorphisms which are accessible, have 2-dimensional center bundle and satisfy some pinching and bunching conditions. In this set, we prove that the non-uniformly hyperbolic maps are $C^r$ open and there exists a $C^r$ open and dense subset of continuity points for the center Lyapunov exponents. We also generalize these results to volume-preserving systems.     

Dimension of hyperbolic measures of random diffeomorphisms

We consider dynamics of compositions of stationary random diffeomorphisms. We will prove that the sample measures of an ergodic hyperbolic invariant measure of the system are exact dimensional. This is an extension to random diffeomorphisms of the main result of Barreira, Pesin and Schmeling (1999), which proves the Eckmann-Ruelle dimension conjecture for a deterministic diffeomorphism.

Center manifolds for nonuniformly partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms

We establish the existence of smooth invariant center manifolds for the nonuniformly partially hyperbolic trajectories of a diffeomorphism in a Banach space. This means that the differentials of the diffeomorphism along the trajectory admit a nonuniform exponential trichotomy. We also consider the more general case of sequences of diffeomorphisms, which corresponds to a nonautonomous dynamics with discrete time. In addition, we obtain an optimal regularity for the center manifolds: if the diffeomorphisms are of class C^k then the manifolds are also of class C^k. As a byproduct of our approach we obtain an exponential control not only for the trajectories on the center manifolds, but also for their derivatives up to order k.     

Equality of pressures for diffeomorphisms preserving hyperbolic measures

For a diffeomorphism which preserves a hyperbolic measure the potential is studied. Various types of pressure of are introduced. It is shown that these pressures satisfy a corresponding variational principle. This research was supported by the grant EU FP6 ToK SPADE2. The author is grateful to IM PAN Warsaw for the hospitality and to C. Wolf for discussions about suitable concepts of pressure.     

Accessibility and stable ergodicity for partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms with 1D-center bundle

We prove that stable ergodicity is C ^r open and dense among conservative partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms with one-dimensional center bundle, for all r∈[2,∞]. The proof follows the Pugh–Shub program [29]: among conservative partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms with one-dimensional center bundle, accessibility is C ^r open and dense, and essential accessibility implies ergodicity.

Transitive partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms with one-dimensional neutral center To the Memory of Professor Shantao Liao

In this paper, we study transitive partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms with one-dimensional topologically neutral center, meaning that the length of the iterate of small center segments remains small. Such systems are dynamically coherent. We show that there exists a continuous metric along the center foliation which is invariant under the dynamics. As an application, we classify the transitive partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms on 3-manifolds with topologically neutral center.     

Accessibility and homology bounded strong unstable foliation for Anosov diffeomorphisms on 3-torus

We give three equivalent conditions for non-accessibility of an Anosov diffeomorphism on the 3-torus with a partially hyperbolic splitting. Since accessibility is an open property, this gives a negative answer to Hammerlindl’s question about homology boundedness of strong unstable foliation.     

Accessibility of partially hyperbolic endomorphisms with 1D center-bundles

We prove that partially hyperbolic endomorphisms with one dimensional center-bundles and non-trivial unstable bundles are stably accessible. And there is residual subset $\Res$ of partially hyperbolic volume preserving endomorphisms with one dimensional center-bundles such that every $f \in \Res$ is stably accessible. In the end, we prove the accessibility of Gan''s example.     

Partially hyperbolic fixed points with constraints

We investigate the local conjugacy, at a partially hyperbolic fixed point, of a diffeomorphism (vector field) to its normally linear part in the presence of constraints, where the change of variables also must satisfy the constraints. The main result is applied to vector fields respecting a singular foliation, encountered, by F. Dumortier and R. Roussarie, in the desingularization of families of vector fields.

     

Roe solver with entropy corrector for uncertain hyperbolic systems

This paper deals with intrusive Galerkin projection methods with a Roe-type solver for treating uncertain hyperbolic systems using a finite volume discretization in physical space and a piecewise continuous representation at the stochastic level. The aim of this paper is to design a cost-effective adaptation of the deterministic Dubois and Mehlman corrector to avoid entropy-violating shocks in the presence of sonic points. The adaptation relies on an estimate of the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the Galerkin Jacobian matrix of the deterministic system of the stochastic modes of the solution and on a correspondence between these approximate eigenvalues and eigenvectors for the intermediate states considered at the interface. We derive some indicators that can be used to decide where a correction is needed, thereby reducing the computational costs considerably. The effectiveness of the proposed corrector is assessed on the Burgers and Euler equations including sonic points.     

Smooth center manifolds for nonuniformly partially hyperbolic trajectories

We establish the existence of unique smooth center manifolds for ordinary differential equations v^′=A(t)v+f(t,v) in Banach spaces, assuming that v^′=A(t)v admits a nonuniform exponential trichotomy. This allows us to show the existence of unique smooth center manifolds for the nonuniformly partially hyperbolic trajectories. In addition, we prove that the center manifolds are as regular as the vector field. Our proof of the Ck smoothness of the manifolds uses a single fixed point problem in an appropriate complete metric space. To the best of our knowledge we establish in this paper the first smooth center manifold theorem in the nonuniform setting.     

Hyperbolicity, heterodimensional cycles and Lyapunov exponents for partially hyperbolic dynamics

We prove a dichotomy of C² partially hyperbolic sets with one-dimensional center direction admitting no zero Lyapunov exponents, either hyperbolicity over the supports of ergodic measures or approximation by a heterodimensional cycle. This provides a partial result to the C¹ Palis Conjecture that claims a dichotomy, hyperbolicity or homoclinic bifurcations in a dense subset of the space of C¹ diffeomorphisms. Moreover, a theorem of Ma?é applied in the proof is modified to have an additional property concerning the Hausdorff distance between a periodic orbit and the support of a hyperbolic ergodic measure.     

Asymptotic behavior of smooth solutions for partially dissipative hyperbolic systems with a convex entropy

We study the asymptotic time behavior of global smooth solutions to general entropy, dissipative, hyperbolic systems of balance laws in m space dimensions, under the Shizuta‐Kawashima condition. We show that these solutions approach a constant equilibrium state in the L^p‐norm at a rate O(t^{? (m/2)(1 ? 1/p)}) as t → ∞ for p ∈ [min{m, 2}, ∞]. Moreover, we can show that we can approximate, with a faster order of convergence, the conservative part of the solution in terms of the linearized hyperbolic operator for m ≥ 2, and by a parabolic equation, in the spirit of Chapman‐Enskog expansion in every space dimension. The main tool is given by a detailed analysis of the Green function for the linearized problem. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Let T:X → X be an Axiom A diffeomorphism,m the Gibbs state for a Hlder continuous function ɡ. Assume that f:X → R^d is a Hlder continuous function with ∫_X^fdm = 0.If the components of f are cohomologously independent, then there exists a positive definite symmetric matrix σ²:=σ² （f ） such that S^fn √ n converges in distribution with respect to m to a Gaussian random variable with expectation 0 and covariance matrix σ² . Moreover, there exists a real number A > 0 such that, for any integer n ≥ 1,Π( m*（ 1√ nS f n ）,N （0,σ² ） ≤A√n, where m*（1√ n S^fn）denotes the distribution of 1√ n S^fn with respect to m, and Π is the Prokhorov metric.

Overfull conjecture for graphs with high minimum degree

Chetwynd and Hilton showed that any regular graph G of even order n which has relatively high degree has a 1‐factorization. This is equivalent to saying that under these conditions G has chromatic index equal to its maximum degree . Using this result, we show that any (not necessarily regular) graph G of even order n that has sufficiently high minimum degree has chromatic index equal to its maximum degree providing that G does not contain an “overfull” subgraph, that is, a subgraph which trivially forces the chromatic index to be more than the maximum degree. This result thus verifies the Overfull Conjecture for graphs of even order and sufficiently high minimum degree. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 47: 73–80, 2004
