On computing the entropy of the Henon attractor

In a recent article D. Ruelle [inLecture Notes in Physics, No. 80 (Springer, Berlin, 1978)] has conjectured that for the Hénon attractor its measure theoretic entropy should be equal to its characteristic exponent. This result is known to be true for systems which satisfy Smale's Axiom A. In this article we report the results of our computations which suggest that Ruelle's conjecture may be true for the Hénon attractor. Further, in our study we are confronted with fundamental questions which suggest that certain existence theorems from ergodic theory are not sufficient from a computational point of view.     

Limit distributions and one-parameter groups of linear operators on Banach spaces

Let = {U_t: t > 0} be a strongly continuous one-parameter group of operators on a Banach space X and Q be any subset of a set (X) of all probability measures on X. By (Q; ) we denote the class of all limit measures of {U_tn(μ₁ * μ₂*…*μ_n)*δ_xn}, where {μ_n}Q, {x_n}X and measures U_tnμ_j (j=1, 2,…, n; N=1, 2,…) form an infinitesimal triangular array. We define classes L_m( ) as follows: L₀( )= ( (X); ), L_m( )= (L_m−1( ); ) for m=1, 2,… and L_∞( )=_m=0^∞L_m( ). These classes are analogous to those defined earlier by Urbanik on the real line. Probability distributions from L_m( ), m=0, 1, 2,…, ∞, are described in terms of their characteristic functionals and their generalized Poisson exponents and Gaussian covariance operators.

Infinitesimal Liouville Distributions for Teichmuller space

We consider an arbitrary Riemann surface X, possibly of infinitehyperbolic area. The Liouville measure of the hyperbolic metricdefines a measure on the space of geodesics of the universal covering of X. As we vary the Riemann surface structure,this gives an embedding from the Teichmuller space of X intothe Fréchet space of Hölder distributions on G. We show that the embedding is continuouslydifferentiable. In particular, we obtain an explicit integralrepresentation of the tangent map. 2000 Mathematics SubjectClassification 30F60, 32G15 (primary), 46F99 (secondary).     

Critical exponents of discrete groups and -spectrum

Let be a noncompact semisimple Lie group and an arbitrary discrete, torsion-free subgroup of . Let be the bottom of the spectrum of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on the locally symmetric space , and let be the exponent of growth of . If has rank , then these quantities are related by a well-known formula due to Elstrodt, Patterson, Sullivan and Corlette. In this note we generalize that relation to the higher rank case by estimating from above and below by quadratic polynomials in . As an application we prove a rigiditiy property of lattices.

     

Regularity Results for the Generalized Beltrami System

Abstract For the generalized Beltrami system with two characteristic matrices, we deal with the regularity of its very weak solutions in the Sobolev class (1 < r < n). By changing the generalized Beltrami system into a class of a divergent elliptic system with nonhomogeneous items, we obtain that each of its very weak solutions is essentially a classical weak solution of a usual Sobolev class. Furthermore, we also establish a higher regularity of its weak solution if the regularity hypotheses of two characteristic matrices are improved.
