Fractal Properties of Critical Invariant Curves

چکیده
We examine the dimension of the invariant measure for some singular circle homeomorphisms for a variety of rotation numbers, through both the thermodynamic formalism and numerical computation. The maps we consider include those induced by the action of the standard map on an invariant curve at the critical parameter value beyond which the curve is destroyed. Our results indicate that the dimension is universal for a given type of singularity and rotation number, and that among all rotation numbers, the golden mean produces the largest dimension.

Stochastic geometry of critical curves, Schramm-Loewner evolutions, and conformal field theory
Conformally-invariant curves that appear at critical points in twodimensional statistical mechanics systems, and their fractal geometry have received a lot of attention in recent years. On the one hand, Schramm [1] has invented a new rigorous as well as practical calculational approach to critical curves, based on a beautiful unification of conformal maps and stochastic processes, and by now kn...
متن کاملCritical curves in conformally invariant statistical systems
We consider critical curves — conformally invariant curves that appear at critical points of two-dimensional statistical mechanical systems. We show how to describe these curves in terms of the Coulomb gas formalism of conformal field theory (CFT). We also provide links between this description and the stochastic (Schramm-) Loewner evolution (SLE). The connection appears in the long-time limit ...
متن کاملExtraction of Affine Invariant Features Using Fractal
An approach based on fractal is presented for extracting affine invariant features. Central projection transformation is employed to reduce the dimensionality of the original input pattern, and general contour (GC) of the pattern is derived. Affine invariant features cannot be extracted from GC directly due to shearing. To address this problem, a group of curves (which are called shift curves) ...
متن کاملSome geometrical properties of the oscillator group
We consider the oscillator group equipped with a biinvariant Lorentzian metric. Some geometrical properties of this space and the harmonicity properties of left-invariant vector fields on this space are determined. In some cases, all these vector fields are critical points for the energy functional restricted to vector fields. Left-invariant vector fields defining harmonic maps are...
متن کاملQuantum geometry of 2 d gravity coupled to unitary matter
We show that there exists a divergent correlation length in 2d quantum gravity for the matter fields close to the critical point provided one uses the invariant geodesic distance as the measure of distance. The corresponding reparameterization invariant two-point functions satisfy all scaling relations known from the ordinary theory of critical phenomena and the KPZ exponents are determined by ...
