48 results for affine interval exchange maps

The family of translation surfaces (Xg,ωg)(X_g,ω_g) constructed by Arnoux and Yoccoz from self-similar interval exchange maps encompasses one example from each genus gg greater than or equal to 33. We triangulate these surfaces and deduce general properties they share. The surfaces (Xg,ωg)(X_g,ω_g) converge to a surface $(X_\i…

The paper introduces horizon saddle connections to study dilation surfaces.

problem Understanding the geometric and dynamical properties of dilation surfaces.
method Introducing horizon saddle connections and quasi-Hopf surfaces.
result Existence of horizon saddle connections restricts the Veech group of dilation surfaces.

A natural generalization of interval exchange maps are linear involutions, first introduced by Danthony and Nogueira. Recurrent train tracks with a single switch provide a subclass of linear involutions. We call such linear involutions non-classical interval exchanges. They are related to measured foliations on orienta…

In [Mas82] and [Vee78] it was proved independently that almost every interval exchange transformation is uniquely ergodic. The Birkhoff ergodic theorem implies that these maps mainly have uniformly distributed orbits. This raises the question under which conditions the orbits yield low-discrepancy sequences. The case o…

Study of SL(2,R) representations on a once-punctured torus, showing Cantor set spectrum.

problem Characterizing SL(2,R) representations on a once-punctured torus.

result Spectrum of a generic representation on a once-punctured torus is a Cantor set.

It is known since 40 years old paper by M. Keane that minimality is a generic (i.e. holding with probability one) property of an irreducible interval exchange transformation. If one puts some integral linear restrictions on the parameters of the interval exchange transformation, then minimality may become an "exotic" p…

Changes (returns) in stock index prices and exchange rates for currencies are argued, based on empirical data, to obey a stable distribution with characteristic exponent α<2 α< 2 for short sampling intervals and a Gaussian distribution for long sampling intervals. In order to explain this phenomenon, an Ehrenfest model…

We prove the existence of "half-plane differentials" with prescribed local data on any Riemann surface. These are meromorphic quadratic differentials with higher-order poles which have an associated singular flat metric isometric to a collection of euclidean half-planes glued by an interval-exchange map on their bounda…

We prove a computable version of de Finetti's theorem on exchangeable sequences of real random variables. As a consequence, exchangeable stochastic processes expressed in probabilistic functional programming languages can be automatically rewritten as procedures that do not modify non-local state. Along the way, we pro…

The ordinary (or classical) Birman-Wenzl-Murakami algebras were initially conceived as an algebraic framework for the Kauffman link invariant. They also appear as centralizer algebras for representations of quantum universal enveloping algebras of orthogonal or symplectic types. It was shown by Morton and Wassermann th…

We introduce a class of maps from an affine flat into a Riemannian manifold that solve an elliptic system defined by the natural second order elliptic operator of the affine structure and the nonlinear Riemann geometry of the target. These maps are called affine harmonic. We show an existence result for affine harmonic…

The classical Fundamental Theorem of Affine Geometry states that for n2n\geq 2, any bijection of nn-dimensional Euclidean space that maps lines to lines (as sets) is given by an affine map. We consider an analogous characterization of affine automorphisms for compact quotients, and establish it for tori: A bijection o…

result Novel Weyl type invariants for mappings between non-symmetric affine spaces.

Practical or scientific considerations often lead to selecting a subset of parameters as ``important.'' Inferences about those parameters often are based on the same data used to select them in the first place. That can make the reported uncertainties deceptively optimistic: confidence intervals that ignore selection g…
