  • What Are Lyapunov Exponents, and Why Are They Interesting?
    BULLETIN (New Series) OF THE AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY Volume 54, Number 1, January 2017, Pages 79–105 http://dx.doi.org/10.1090/bull/1552 Article electronically published on September 6, 2016 WHAT ARE LYAPUNOV EXPONENTS, AND WHY ARE THEY INTERESTING? AMIE WILKINSON Introduction At the 2014 International Congress of Mathematicians in Seoul, South Korea, Franco-Brazilian mathematician Artur Avila was awarded the Fields Medal for “his profound contributions to dynamical systems theory, which have changed the face of the field, using the powerful idea of renormalization as a unifying principle.”1 Although it is not explicitly mentioned in this citation, there is a second unify- ing concept in Avila’s work that is closely tied with renormalization: Lyapunov (or characteristic) exponents. Lyapunov exponents play a key role in three areas of Avila’s research: smooth ergodic theory, billiards and translation surfaces, and the spectral theory of 1-dimensional Schr¨odinger operators. Here we take the op- portunity to explore these areas and reveal some underlying themes connecting exponents, chaotic dynamics and renormalization. But first, what are Lyapunov exponents? Let’s begin by viewing them in one of their natural habitats: the iterated barycentric subdivision of a triangle. When the midpoint of each side of a triangle is connected to its opposite vertex by a line segment, the three resulting segments meet in a point in the interior of the triangle. The barycentric subdivision of a triangle is the collection of 6 smaller triangles determined by these segments and the edges of the original triangle: Figure 1. Barycentric subdivision.

In this paper, we flesh out the historiographical tensions arising from these confrontations: longue-duree´ history and revolution; abstract mathematics and the use of mathematical techniques in various other domains. After reviewing the historiography of dynamical systems theory from Poincar´e to the 1960s, we highlight the pioneering work of a few individuals (Steve Smale, Edward Lorenz, David Ruelle). We then go on to discuss the nature of the chaos phenomenon, which, we argue, was a conceptual reconfiguration as

Zeh The books in this collection are devoted to challenging and open problems at the forefront of modern science, including related philosophical debates. In contrast to typical research monographs, however, they strive to present their topics in a manner accessible also to scientifically literate non-specialists wishing to gain insight into the deeper implications and fascinating questions involved. Taken as a whole, the series reflects the need for a fundamental and interdisciplinary approach to modern science. Furthermore, it is intended to encourage active scientists in all areas to ponder over important and perhaps controversial issues beyond their own speciality. Extending from quantum physics and relativity to entropy, consciousness and complex systems – the Frontiers Collection will inspire readers to push back the frontiers of their own knowledge.

  • A Fairly Complete History and Tour of Aynho Village – Updated January 2017 Aynho Is a Two-Part Name
    A Fairly Complete History and Tour of Aynho Village – updated January 2017 Aynho is a two-part name - ‘Ayn’ is either a corruption of a Saxon personal name, or more likely the Saxon word for a spring or stream. The ‘Hoh’ is a Saxon word for a promontory/projecting ridge of land standing on a plain as Aynho does. The earliest mention (in the Domesday Book) of an owner of the manor of Aynho is Asgar - a Danish thane (knight). He was standard bearer for Edward the Confessor who reigned from 1042 to 1066. (Edward was born at Islip about fifteen miles south east of Aynho, so he probably knew Asgar). The entry showed 3¼ hides (about 400 acres altogether), land for 8 ploughs, a mill and 20 acres of meadow. Why was Aynho so relatively important in the mid-ten hundreds? Probably because of its location high up overlooking the whole Cherwell valley. There were very few significant houses in existence within a radius of twenty miles at that time, and it is believed that Aynho had a substantial wooden Saxon manor house then. For example Oxford Castle was not built until 1073, Banbury Castle 1135, Broughton Castle 1300, Rousham House 1635 and Upton House 1695. The first proper Oxford College, University College, wasn’t founded until1249. Apart from Aynho north of Oxford only Sulgrave Manor is recorded as having an Anglo-Saxon Manor House around the late 9th century. William the Conqueror gave the village to one of his barons, Geoffrey de Mandeville, for helping him win the Battle of Hastings in 1066.

Doing this interview is a pleasure. I didn’t expect this. Frans Oort (OORT): The pleasure is mine. It’s a surprise for both of us. CHAI: There is a ritual that we first invite people to talk about their formative years which is always interesting because people’s backgrounds are all different. Would you like to say something about your formative years or when you are younger and decided to go to mathematics? Some people believe that mathematicians are born. The beginning1 OORT: Let me first say something about life as a mathematician, and later I will tell some stories about my personal life. For me it is a surprise you can be together with other people, with different cultural backgrounds, in history, in bringing up, with parents on the one hand, while on the other hand you can be so close to other people. With other mathematicians all of a sudden you understand each other on a much higher level than you ever thought possible. This is one of the most exciting things I have seen in my life. Certainly this is true with my collaborator here; with Ching-Li I have so much in common, and we understand each other. I think mathematically we have a deep contact and I am very grateful for that.

  • ONE HUNDRED YEARS of COMPLEX DYNAMICS the Subject of Complex Dynamics, That Is, the Behaviour of Orbits of Holomorphic Functions
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of Liverpool Repository ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF COMPLEX DYNAMICS MARY REES The subject of Complex Dynamics, that is, the behaviour of orbits of holomorphic functions, emerged in the papers produced, independently, by Fatou and Julia, almost 100 years ago. Although the subject of Dynami- cal Systems did not then have a name, the dynamical properties found for holomorphic systems, even in these early researches, were so striking, so unusually comprehensive, and yet so varied, that these systems still attract widespread fascination, 100 years later. The first distinctive feature of iter- ation of a single holomorphic map f is the partition of either the complex plane or the Riemann sphere into two sets which are totally invariant under f: the Julia set | closed, nonempty, perfect, with dynamics which might loosely be called chaotic | and its complement | open, possibly empty, but, if non-empty, then with dynamics which were completely classified by the two pioneering researchers, modulo a few simply stated open questions. Before the subject re-emerged into prominence in the 1980's, the Julia set was alternately called the Fatou set, but Paul Blanchard introduced the idea of calling its complement the Fatou set, and this was immediately universally accepted. Probably the main reason for the remarkable rise in interest in complex dynamics, about thirty-five years ago, was the parallel with the subject of Kleinian groups, and hence with the whole subject of hyperbolic geome- try. A Kleinian group acting on the Riemann sphere is a dynamical system, with the sphere splitting into two disjoint invariant subsets, with the limit set and its complement, the domain of discontinuity, having exactly similar properties to the Julia and Fatou sets.

BOLLOBAS,´ W. FULTON, A. KATOK, F. KIRWAN, P. SARNAK, B. SIMON, B. TOTARO Foundations of Ergodic Theory Rich with examples and applications, this textbook provides a coherent and self-contained introduction to ergodic theory suitable for a variety of one- or two-semester courses. The authors’ clear and fluent exposition helps the reader to grasp quickly the most important ideas of the theory, and their use of concrete examples illustrates these ideas and puts the results into perspective. The book requires few prerequisites, with background material supplied in the appendix. The first four chapters cover elementary material suitable for undergraduate students – invariance, recurrence and ergodicity – as well as some of the main examples. The authors then gradually build up to more sophisticated topics, including correlations, equivalent systems, entropy, the variational principle, and thermodynamic formalism. The 400 exercises increase in difficulty through the text and test the reader’s understanding of the whole theory. Hints and solutions are provided at the end of the book. Marcelo Viana is Professor of Mathematics at Instituto Nacional de Matematica´ Pura e Aplicada (IMPA), Rio de Janeiro and a leading research expert in ergodic theory and dynamical systems. He has served in several academic organizations, such as the International Mathematical Union (Vice-president 2011–2014), the Brazilian Mathematical Society (President 2013–2015), the Latin American Mathematical Union (Scientific Coordinator, 2001–2008) and the newly founded Mathematical Council of the Americas.
