Frequently dense orbits

We study the notion of frequent hypercyclicity that was recently introduced by Bayart and Grivaux. We show that frequently hypercyclic operators satisfy the Hypercyclicity Criterion, answering a question of Bayart and Grivaux [Trans. Amer. Math. Soc., in press]. We also disprove a conjecture therein concerning frequently hypercyclic weighted shifts, and we prove that vectors which have a somewhere frequently dense orbit are frequently hypercyclic.

Area preserving analytic flows with dense orbits

The aim of this paper is to give sufficient conditions on area-preserving flows that guarantee the existence of dense orbits. We also answer a question by M.D. Hirsch [M.D. Hirsch, Dense recurrence in area-preserving flows on surfaces, Nonlinearity 12 (1999) 1545-1553]. The results of this work are a generalization of the ones in [M.D. Hirsch, Dense recurrence in area-preserving flows on surfaces, Nonlinearity 12 (1999) 1545-1553] and [H. Marzougui, Area preserving flows with a dense orbit, Nonlinearity 15 (2002) 1379-1384].     

On operators with orbits dense relative to nontrivial subspaces

In the present paper we consider bounded linear operators which have orbits dense relative to nontrivial subspaces. We give nontrivial examples of such operators and establish many of their basic properties. An example of an operator which has an orbit dense relative to a certain subspace but is not subspace-hypercyclic for this subspace is given. This, in turn, provides a new answer to a question posed in [18]. Other hypercyclic-like properties of such operators are also considered.

Numerical semigroups and periodic orbits for Markov interval maps

Interval maps constitute a very important class of discrete dynamical systems with a well developed theory. Our purpose in this paper is to study a particular class of interval maps for which the set of periods is a numerical semigroup.     

Compression semigroups of open orbits on real flag manifolds

Let (G, H) be an irreducible semisimple symmetric pair,P G a parabolic subgroup. Suppose that theL-orbit of the base point in the flag manifoldG/P is open and writeS(L,P)={gG:gL LP} for the compression semigroup of this orbit. We show that ifP is minimal andS(L, P)=G, then (G, H) is Riemannian and we give a geometric characterization of those cases whereS(L, P) has non-empty interior different fromG. IfG/H is a symmetric space of regular type, then we show under certain additional assumptions thatS(L, Q) is an Ol'shanskiî semigroup.Supported by a DFG Heisenberg-grant.     

Hypercyclic tuples of operators and somewhere dense orbits

In this paper we prove that there are hypercyclic (n+1)-tuples of diagonal matrices on Cn and that there are no hypercyclic n-tuples of diagonalizable matrices on Cn. We use the last result to show that there are no hypercyclic subnormal tuples in infinite dimensions. We then show that on real Hilbert spaces there are tuples with somewhere dense orbits that are not dense, but we also give sufficient conditions on a tuple to insure that a somewhere dense orbit, on a real or complex space, must be dense.     

Extensions of homomorphisms to dense extensions of semigroups

Gluskin [2] has shown that if α is an isomorphism of a weakly reductive semigroup S onto a semigroup T, if V is a dense extension of S and T is densely embedded in W then α extends uniquely to an isomorphism of V into W. Here we consider the problem of extending epimorphisms and as a consequence of a few simple observations obtain as the main theorem a homomorphism of Ω(S), for any semisimple semigroup S, into the product of the translational hulls of the principal factors of S. A few consequences are considered.     

Weak convergence of almost orbits of asymptotically nonexpansive commutative semigroups

We give three equivalent conditions for weak convergence of almost orbits of an asymptotically nonexpansive commutative semigroup acting on a nonempty bounded closed convex subset of a uniformly convex Banach space whose dual has the Kadec property.     

On the behavior of orbits of uniformly stable semigroups at infinity

For uniformly stable bounded analytic C ₀-semigroups {T(t)} _t≥0 of linear operators in a Banach space B, we study the behavior of their orbits T (t)x, x ∈ B, at infinity. We also analyze the relationship between the order of approaching the orbit T (t)x to zero as t → ∞ and the degree of smoothness of the vector x with respect to the operator A ⁻¹ inverse to the generator A of the semigroup {T(t)} _t≥0. In particular, it is shown that, for this semigroup, there exist orbits approaching zero at infinity not slower than , where a > 0, 0 < α < π/(2(π-θ)), θ is the angle of analyticity of {T(t)} _t≥0, and the collection of these orbits is dense in the set of all orbits. __________ Translated from Ukrains’kyi Matematychnyi Zhurnal, Vol. 58, No. 2, pp. 148–159, February, 2006.     

Linear relations as generators of semigroups of operators

The theory of semigroups of bounded linear operators is based on the spectral theory of linear relations (multivalued linear operators), which act as generators of operator semigroups.     

Linear differential operators with unbounded operator coefficients and semigroups of bounded operators

Associated with a family of evolution operators in a complex Banach space is a linear unbounded operator, which is studied with the aid of a semigroup of difference operators and a difference operator in a sequence space. Some formulas for the spectra of the linear operators in question (in particular, for abstract hyperbolic differential operators) and the spectrum mapping theorem for the semigroup of difference operators are obtained.

Linear fractional mappings: invariant sets, semigroups and commutativity

We study commutativity and embeddability (into continuous semi-groups) properties of linear fractional self-mappings of the open unit disk in the complex plane. The common thread in our approach is the classical notion of the Kœnigs function which we use in each of the three possible cases (dilation, hyperbolic and parabolic). Since we are interested in a classical subject, the paper is written in the style of a survey, in order to make it accessible to a wider audience. Therefore it contains, in addition to our new results, an exposition of most relevant facts. Dedicated to Professor Felix E. Browder with admiration and respect
