The activities brought together researchers from many different branches of dynamical systems and number theory, and some of the papers in this volume reflect the collaborative research that took place during the activity. The papers and the talks presented at MPIM also reflect the extraordinary vitality of dynamical systems in its interaction with algebra, number theory, combinatorics, geometry, probability, analysis and other fields. The topics of the activity covered both dynamical systems and number theory in a broad sense, together with some aspects of their many interactions, and some of the many applications of dynamical systems to the natural sciences. The re- search areas discussed during the activity were diverse, and included the following: asymptotic geometric analysis and (topological) transformation groups; arithmetic dynamics; polynomials and pointwise ergodic theorems; Bernoulli convolutions; ac- tions of Polish groups; low-dimensional dynamics: graph theory, rotation theory, smooth interval dynamics, area-preserving diffeomorphisms and time-one maps on surfaces; complex and real dynamics; interval-exchange transformations and trans- lation flows; billiards; leaf-wise cohomology of algebraic Anosov diffeomorphisms; symbolic dynamics; multi-fractal analysis and Diophantine approximations; dynam- ics and moduli spaces; rigidity of invariant measures and Littlewood’s conjecture; M¨obius number systems; flows on manifolds; translation surfaces and Abelian dif- ferentials; symbolic representations of quasihyperbolic toral automorphisms; non- commutative Mahler measures, Fuglede–Kadison determinants, and entropy; repre- sentations of integers; statistical properties of dynamical systems; transfer operators for geodesic flows and Hecke operators; transfer operators for Anosov diffeomor- phisms; shift operators on buildings and non-commutative spaces; topological orbit equivalence; the theory of entropy and chaos. In addition to the hundred or so mathematicians from many different countries who visited MPIM for the activity, many of the long-term visitors at the MPIM also participated in the research activities and seminars. Seminars and discussions took place in an informal and constructive atmosphere, and it was a pleasure to see research taking place between groups of participants all over the Institute and at all times of day. vii viii PREFACE The editors wish to record their thanks to the staff at the Max-Planck Institute for Mathematics, and to the many researchers who participated, for all their efforts in making this such a stimulating, productive, and enjoyable experience.

  • BILLIARDS in REGULAR 2N-GONS and the SELF-DUAL INDUCTION
    BILLIARDS IN REGULAR 2n-GONS AND THE SELF-DUAL INDUCTION SEBASTIEN´ FERENCZI Abstract. We build a coding of the trajectories of billiards in regular 2n-gons, similar but different from the one in [16], by applying the self-dual induction [9] to the underlying one-parameter family of n-interval exchange transformations. This allows us to show that, in that family, for n = 3 non-periodicity is enough to guarantee weak mixing, and in some cases minimal self-joinings, and for every n we can build examples of n-interval exchange transformations with weak mixing, which are the first known explicitly for n > 6. In [16], see also [15], John Smillie and Corinna Ulcigrai develop a rich and original theory of billiards in the regular octagons, and more generally of billiards in the regular 2n-gons, first studied by Veech [17]: their aim is to build explicitly the symbolic trajectories, which generalize the famous Sturmian sequences (see for example [1] among a huge literature), and they achieve it through a new renormalization process which generalizes the usual continued fraction algorithm. In the present shorter paper, we show that similar results, with new consequences, can be obtained by using an existing, though recent, theory, the self-dual in- duction on interval exchange transformations. As in [16], we define a trajectory of a billiard in a regular 2n-gon as a path which starts in the interior of the polygon, and moves with constant velocity until it hits the boundary, then it re-enters the polygon at the corresponding point of the parallel side, and continues travelling with the same velocity; we label each pair of parallel sides with a letter of the alphabet (A1; :::An), and read the labels of the pairs of parallel sides crossed by the trajectory as time increases; studying these trajectories is known to be equivalent to studying the trajectories of a one-parameter family of n-interval exchange transformations, and to this family we apply a slightly modified version of the self-dual induction defined in [9].

  • Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach Dynamische Systeme
    Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach Report No. 32/2017 DOI: 10.4171/OWR/2017/32 Dynamische Systeme Organised by Hakan Eliasson, Paris Helmut Hofer, Princeton Vadim Kaloshin, College Park Jean-Christophe Yoccoz, Paris 9 July – 15 July 2017 Abstract. This workshop continued the biannual series at Oberwolfach on Dynamical Systems that started as the “Moser-Zehnder meeting” in 1981. The main themes of the workshop are the new results and developments in the area of dynamical systems, in particular in Hamiltonian systems and symplectic geometry. This year special emphasis where laid on symplectic methods with applications to dynamics. The workshop was dedicated to the memory of John Mather, Jean-Christophe Yoccoz and Krzysztof Wysocki. Mathematics Subject Classification (2010): 37, 53D, 70F, 70H. Introduction by the Organisers The workshop was organized by H. Eliasson (Paris), H. Hofer (Princeton) and V. Kaloshin (Maryland). It was attended by more than 50 participants from 13 countries and displayed a good mixture of young, mid-career and senior people. The workshop covered a large area of dynamical systems centered around classi- cal Hamiltonian dynamics and symplectic methods: closing lemma; Hamiltonian PDE’s; Reeb dynamics and contact structures; KAM-theory and diffusion; celes- tial mechanics. Also other parts of dynamics were represented. K. Irie presented a smooth closing lemma for Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms on closed surfaces. This result is the peak of a fantastic development in symplectic methods where, in particular, the contributions of M. Hutchings play an important role. 1988 Oberwolfach Report 32/2017 D. Peralta-Salas presented new solutions for the 3-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations with different vortex structures.

  • Weak KAM Theory: the Connection Between Aubry-Mather Theory and Viscosity Solutions of the Hamilton-Jacobi Equation
    Weak KAM Theory: the connection between Aubry-Mather theory and viscosity solutions of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation Albert Fathi Abstract. The goal of this lecture is to explain to the general mathematical audience the connection that was discovered in the last 20 or so years between the Aubry-Mather theory of Lagrangian systems, due independently to Aubry and Mather in low dimension, and to Mather in higher dimension, and the theory of viscosity solutions of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation, due to Crandall and Lions, and more precisely the existence of global viscosity solutions due to Lions, Papanicolaou, and Varhadan. Mathematics Subject Classification (2010). Primary 37J50, 35F21; Secondary 70H20. Keywords. Lagrangian, Hamiltonian, Hamilton-Jacobi, Aubry-Mather, weak KAM. 1. Introduction This lecture is not intended for specialists, but rather for the general mathematical audience. Lagrangian Dynamical Systems have their origin in classical physics, especially in celestial mechanics. The Hamilton-Jacobi method is a way to obtain trajectories of a Lagrangian system through solutions of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation. However, solutions of this equa- tion easily develop singularities. Therefore for a long time, only local results were obtained. Since the 1950’s, several major developments both on the dynamical side, and the PDE side have taken place. In the 1980’s, on the dynamical side there was the famous Aubry-Mather theory for twist maps, discovered independently by S. Aubry [2] and J.N. Mather [20], and its generalization to higher dimension by J.N. Mather [21, 22] in the framework of classical Lagrangian systems. On the PDE side, there was the viscosity theory of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation, due to M.

    INdAM Meeting: Hyperbolic Dynamical Systems in the Sciences Corinaldo (Italy) May 31 - June 4, 2010 ABSTRACTS Viviane Baladi (Ecole Normale Sup´erieure,Paris) Anisotropic Sobolev spaces adapted to piecewise hyperbolic dynamics Strong ergodic properties (such as exponential mixing) have been proved for various smooth dynamical systems by first obtaining a spectral gap for a suitable \transfer" operator acting on an appropriate Banach space. Some natural dynamical systems, such as discrete or continuous-time billiards, are only piecewise smooth, and the discontinuities pose serious technical problems in the construction of the Banach norm. With Sebastien Gouezel (J. Mod. Dyn. 2010), we recently showed that classical tools such as complex interpolation on anisotropic Sobolev-Triebel spaces, and an old result of Strichartz on Fourier multipliers, can solve those problems, under a bunching condition. (The bunching condition replaces a smoothness assumption on the stable bundles which was necessary in a previous work.) I will also very briefly mention work in progress with Balint and Gouezel on the one hand, and Liverani on the other hand, the ultimate goal of which is to establish exponential mixing for continuous-time 2-d Sinai billiards. Peter´ Balint´ (Budapest University of Technology and Economics) Dispersing billiards with cusps and tunnels Two dimensional dispersing billiards with finite horizon and disjoint scatterers are among the best known examples of strongly chaotic dynamical systems. If, however, two scatterers of the configuration touch tangentially, forming a cusp, the billiard particle may experience arbitrary long sequences of successive collisions in the resulting region, which may slow down the convergence to equilibrium. The situation when the two scatterers do not actually touch, their distance is, however, some small ", may be referred to as a billiard with a tunnel.
