ABSTRACT the Specification Property and Chaos In ABSTRACT The Specification Property and Chaos in Multidimensional Shift Spaces and General Compact Metric Spaces Reeve Hunter, Ph.D. Advisor: Brian E. Raines, D.Phil. Rufus Bowen introduced the specification property for maps on a compact met- ric space. In this dissertation, we consider some implications of the specification d property for Zd-actions on subshifts of ΣZ as well as on a general compact metric space. In particular, we show that if σ : X X is a continuous Zd-action with ! d a weak form of the specification property on a d-dimensional subshift of ΣZ , then σ exhibits both !-chaos, introduced by Li, and uniform distributional chaos, intro- duced by Schweizer and Smítal. The !-chaos result is further generalized for some broader, directional notions of limit sets and general compact metric spaces with uniform expansion at a fixed point.

I appreciate your continual encouragement and steadfastness throughout my time here. Thanks for your valuable insights, your endless patience, and your genuine concern for me—both academically and personally. To my colleagues at Baylor: your varied perspectives helped me to break out of the narrow view I often found myself developing in both teaching and research. In particular, I would like to say thank you to Nathan and Tim for your help and companionship over the past five years. When things seemed especially bleak in the dark halls of Sid Richardson, we had Anamanaguchi’s “Meow” to thank for lifting our spirits. Come to think of it, any time was a good time for “Meow.” Thank you to my family for your support during my time in grad school. To Mom, Dad, Zellyn, Bevin, Trent, Leah, Delvyn, Charity, and Cheryl: though the times we have to spend together are too few, the many visits, phone calls, and conversations have been a precious, constant presence in my life. Finally, I must thank my wife, Jessie, for agreeing together with me to venture on this journey. Thank you for all your support, both practical and otherwise, your willingness to work towards a common goal when things seemed insurmountable, and most of all for your friendship. vii To Chuzzlewit viii CHAPTER ONE Introduction Topological dynamics, along with the related fields of ergodic theory and dif- ferentiable dynamics, has its roots in celestial mechanics. In 1609, Johannes Kepler, using data from the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe, offered a fairly accurate ge- ometric description of the movement of planets in our solar system, [59]. In 1687, Isaac Newton presented general, mathematically rigorous principles describing the interaction of any two celestial bodies, [78]. Generalizations of Newton’s results to more than two bodies proved difficult to pin down. Modern topological dynamics, ergodic theory, and differentiable dynamics can all be traced back to Henri Poincaré’s work on the three body problem, the study of how three celestial bodies interact under the laws of physics. For a comprehensive history of Poincaré’s exploration of this problem, see [15]. Rather than focusing on the general structure of solutions to differential equa- tions based on their initial value, Poincaré chose instead to consider the big picture behavior and interactions of all possible individual solutions. In today’s terminol- ogy, he was considering the orbit structure of a system rather than focusing on a single orbit. The Poincaré Recurrence Theorem is the first major theorem in dy- namical systems that sprung from this view. For some interesting historical notes and references on this theorem, see [18]. Poincaré’s work had a profound influence on George Birkhoff who, in the early 1900’s, continued to apply this new approach while emphasizing the importance of discrete dynamical systems in understanding continuous differential equations, [20]. A nice explanation of the differences between 1 the traditional differential equations approach and the dynamical systems approach is outlined by Akin in his survey of Topological Dynamics, [3]. Gustav Arnold Hedlund continued in the vein of Birkhoff’s work bringing this new view of dynamical systems to a wider audience. Seeking to unify the discrete and continuous time views of dynamical systems, Hedlund with his student Walter Gottschalk addressed both views along with the general approach of topological group actions acting on space. In the mid 1950’s, these ideas and others were presented in the first work dedicated to the topological view of dynamics, [51]. As well as introducing the term “topological dynamics” to distinguish the study from the analytical perspective, Hedlund was also influential in the subfield of symbolic dynamical systems. With an interest in the chaotic properties of systems, one goal of this disserta- tion is to explore two of the notions mentioned in the previous paragraph: symbolic dynamics and group actions. Chaos theory can be traced back to Poincaré and the idea of sensitive dependence on initial conditions (more on this in Chapter Two). We focus on two notions formulated in the early 1990’s. In particular, we address d distributional chaos and !-chaos in the context of subshifts of ΣZ with a weak form of the specification property and !-chaos in the context of general compact metric spaces with the specification property. In Chapter Three, we address Zd-subshifts. d Theorem 3.8. Assume X ΣZ is a nondegenerate subshift with the weak specifi- ⊂ cation property. Then σ has !-chaos. d Theorem 3.15. If X ΣZ is a nondegenerate subshift with the weak specification ⊂ property then (X; σ) is uniformly distributionally chaotic of type 1. 2 Theorem 3.8 is further broadened to include some directional variants of !- chaos. In Chapter Four we prove a result for general compact metric spaces. Theorem 4.6. Assume that X is a compact metric space with f : X X a surjective ! map with the specification property. Assume s X is a fixed point such that there 2 is η > 0; λ > 1 such that if 0 < d(s; y) < η, then d(f(s); f(y)) λd(s; y). Then f is ≥ !-chaotic. In Chapter Two, we give some historical context for the problems presented in this dissertation as well as all necessary preliminary definitions and theorems. In Chapter Three, we introduce generalized !-limit sets and prove that the specification d property implies !-chaos for any ΣZ -subshifts. We show further that the same assumption implies uniform distributional chaos of type 1. It is known that an expansive dynamical system with the specification property has !-chaos. In Chapter Four, we show that specification along with the weakened assumption of uniform expansion at a fixed point is enough to imply !-chaos. Finally, we present some areas of further interest and ideas for future work in Chapter Five. 3 CHAPTER TWO Preliminaries 2.1 Dynamical Systems Throughout this dissertation, unless otherwise stated, X will be a compact metric space f : X X a continuous map.

  • The Generalized Recurrent Set, Explosions and Lyapunov Functions
    The generalized recurrent set, explosions and Lyapunov functions OLGA BERNARDI 1 ANNA FLORIO 2 JIM WISEMAN 3 1 Dipartimento di Matematica “Tullio Levi-Civita”, Università di Padova, Italy 2 Laboratoire de Mathématiques d’Avignon, Avignon Université, France 3 Department of Mathematics, Agnes Scott College, Decatur, Georgia, USA Abstract We consider explosions in the generalized recurrent set for homeomorphisms on a compact metric space. We provide multiple examples to show that such explosions can occur, in contrast to the case for the chain recurrent set. We give sufficient conditions to avoid explosions and discuss their necessity. Moreover, we explain the relations between explosions and cycles for the generalized re- current set. In particular, for a compact topological manifold with dimension greater or equal 2, we characterize explosion phenomena in terms of existence of cycles. We apply our results to give sufficient conditions for stability, under C 0 perturbations, of the property of admitting a continuous Lyapunov function which is not a first integral. 1 Introduction Generalized recurrence was originally introduced for flows by Auslander in the Sixties [3] by using con- tinuous Lyapunov functions. Auslander defined the generalized recurrent set to be the union of those orbits along which all continuous Lyapunov functions are constant. In the same paper, he gave a char- acterization of this set in terms of the theory of prolongations. The generalized recurrent set was later extended to maps by Akin and Auslander (see [1] and [2]). More recently Fathi and Pageault [7] proved that, for a homeomorphism, the generalized recurrent set can be equivalently defined by using Easton’s strong chain recurrence [6].

KAIMANOVICH Abstract. By looking at the relationship between the recurrence properties of a count- able group action with a quasi-invariant measure and the structure of its ergodic compo- nents we establish a simple general description of the Hopf decomposition of the action into the conservative and the dissipative parts in terms of the Radon–Nikodym deriva- tives of the action. As an application we prove that the conservative part of the boundary action of a discrete group of isometries of a Gromov hyperbolic space with respect to any invariant quasi-conformal stream coincides (mod 0) with the big horospheric limit set of the group. Conservativity and dissipativity are, alongside with ergodicity, the most basic notions of the ergodic theory and go back to its mechanical and thermodynamical origins. The famous Poincar´erecurrence theorem states that any invertible transformation T preserv- ing a probability measure m on a state space X is conservative in the sense that any positive measure subset A ⊂ X is recurrent, i.e., for a.e. starting point x ∈ A the trajec- tory {T nx} eventually returns to A. These definitions obviously extend to an arbitrary measure class preserving action G (X,m) of a general countable group G on a prob- ability space (X,m).

    ABSTRACT Chaos in Dendritic and Circular Julia Sets Nathan Averbeck, Ph.D. Advisor: Brian Raines, D.Phil. We demonstrate the existence of various forms of chaos (including transitive distributional chaos, !-chaos, topological chaos, and exact Devaney chaos) on two families of abstract Julia sets: the dendritic Julia sets Dτ and the \circular" Julia sets Eτ , whose symbolic encoding was introduced by Stewart Baldwin. In particular, suppose one of the two following conditions hold: either fc has a Julia set which is a dendrite, or (provided that the kneading sequence of c is Γ-acceptable) that fc has an attracting or parabolic periodic point. Then, by way of a conjugacy which allows us to represent these Julia sets symbolically, we prove that fc exhibits various forms of chaos.

  • 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.

  • Dimensions for Recurrence Times : Topological and Dynamical Properties

Abstract. In this paper we give new properties of the dimension introduced by Afraimovich to characterize Poincar¶erecurrence and which we proposed to call Afraimovich-Pesin's (AP's) dimension. We will show in particular that AP's dimension is a topological invariant and that it often coincides with the asymptotic distribution of periodic points : deviations from this behavior could suggest that the AP's dimension is sensitive to some \non-typical" points. Introduction. The Carath¶eodory construction (see [15] for a complete presenta- tion and historical accounts), has revealed to be a powerful unifying approach for the understanding of thermodynamical formalism and fractal properties of dynam- ically de¯ned sets. A new application of this method has recently been proposed by Afraimovich [1] to characterize Poincar¶erecurrence : it basically consists in the construction of an Hausdor®-like outer measure (with the related transition point, or dimension), but with a few important di®erences. The classical Hausdor® mea- sure (see for instance [8]) is constructed by covering a given set A with arbitrary subsets and by taking the diameter of these subsets at a power ® to build up the Carath¶eodory sum. In Afraimovich's setting, the diameter is replaced with a de- creasing function (gauge function) of the smallest ¯rst return time of the points of each set of the covering into the set itself.

  • Chapter 4 Global Behavior: Simple Examples
    Chapter 4 Global Behavior: simple examples Different local behaviors have been analyzed in the previous chapter. Unfortunately, such analysis is insufficient if one wants to understand the global behavior of a Dynamical System. To make precise what we mean by global behavior we need some definitions. Definition 4.0.2 Given a Dynamical System (X; φt), t 2 N or R+, a −1 set A ⊂ X is called invariant if, for all t, ; 6= φt (A) ⊂ A. Essentially, the global understanding of a system entails a detailed knowledge of its invariant set and of the dynamics in a neighborhood of such sets. This is in general very hard to achieve, essentially the rest of this book devoted to the study of some special cases. Remark 4.0.3 We start with some simple considerations in the case of continuous Dynamical Systems (this is part of a general theory called Topological Dynamical Systems1) and then we will address more subtle phenomena that depend on the smoothness of the systems. 4.1 Long time behavior and invariant sets First of all let us note that if we are interested in the long time behavior of a system and we look at it locally (i.e. in the neighborhood of a point) then three cases are possible: either the motion leaves the neighborhood 1 Recall that a Topological Dynamical Systems is a couple (X; φt) where X is a topological space and φt is a continuous action of R (or R+; N; Z) on X. 71 72 CHAPTER 4.

This presents the particularity that it can also be used for defining a distance in chaotic unidimensional maps. Based on that definition, we provide a metric d for an arbitrary discrete map. Moreover, from d we associate a metric space to each invariant density of a given map, which results to be the set of all distinguished points when the number of iterations of the map tends to infinity. Also, we give a characterization of the wandering set of a map in terms of the metric d which allows to identify the dissipative regions in the phase space. We illustrate the results in the case of the logistic and the circle maps numerically and theoretically, and we obtain d and the wandering set for some characteristic values of their parameters.

  • Thermodynamic Formalism in Neuronal Dynamics and Spike Train Statistics
    Thermodynamic Formalism in Neuronal Dynamics and Spike Train Statistics Rodrigo Cofré ∗1, Cesar Maldonado †2, and Bruno Cessac ‡3 1CIMFAV-Ingemat, Facultad de Ingeniería, Universidad de Valparaíso, Valparaíso, Chile. 2IPICYT/División de Matemáticas Aplicadas, San Luis Potosí, Mexico 3Université Côte d’Azur, Inria, France, Inria Biovision team and Neuromod Institute November 20, 2020 Abstract The Thermodynamic Formalism provides a rigorous mathematical framework to study quantitative and qualitative aspects of dynamical systems. At its core there is a variational principle corresponding, in its simplest form, to the Maximum Entropy principle. It is used as a statistical inference procedure to represent, by specific prob- ability measures (Gibbs measures), the collective behaviour of complex systems. This framework has found applications in different domains of science.In particular, it has been fruitful and influential in neurosciences. In this article, we review how the Thermodynamic Formalism can be exploited in the field of theoretical neuroscience, as a conceptual and operational tool, to link the dynamics of interacting neurons and the statistics of action potentials from either experimental data or mathematical mod- els. We comment on perspectives and open problems in theoretical neuroscience that could be addressed within this formalism.

  • Maximal Entropy Measures for Certain Partially Hyperbolic, Derived from Anosov Systems
    MAXIMAL ENTROPY MEASURES FOR CERTAIN PARTIALLY HYPERBOLIC, DERIVED FROM ANOSOV SYSTEMS J. BUZZI, T. FISHER, M. SAMBARINO, C. VASQUEZ´ Abstract. We show that a class of robustly transitive diffeomor- phisms originally described by Ma˜n´eare intrinsically ergodic. More precisely, we obtain an open set of diffeomorphisms which fail to be uniformly hyperbolic and structurally stable, but nevertheless have the following stability with respect to their entropy. Their topological entropy is constant and they each have a unique measure of maximal entropy with respect to which peri- odic orbits are equidistributed. Moreover, equipped with their re- spective measure of maximal entropy, these diffeomorphisms are pairwise isomorphic. We show that the method applies to several classes of systems which are similarly derived from Anosov, i.e., produced by an iso- topy from an Anosov system, namely, a mixed Ma˜n´eexample and one obtained through a Hopf bifurcation. 1. Introduction Let f be a diffeomorphism of a manifold M to itself. The diffeomor- phism f is transitive if there exists a point x ∈ M where + n Of (x)= {f (x)|n ∈ N} is dense in M. It is robustly transitive [4, Ch. 7] if there exists a neighborhood U of f in the space Diff1(M) of C1 diffeomorphisms such that each g in U is transitive. Since robust transitivity is an open condition, it is an important component of the global picture of dynamical systems [23].
