Symbolic Dynamics for the Geodesic Flow on Hecke Surfaces
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we discuss a coding and the associated symbolic dynamics for the geodesic flow on Hecke triangle surfaces. We construct an explicit cross section for which the first return map factors through a simple (explicit) map given in terms of the generating map of a particular continued fraction expansion closely related to the Hecke triangle groups. We also obtain explicit expressions for the associated first return times.

ENTROPY OF GEODESIC FLOWS ON SUBSPACES OF HECKE SURFACE WITH ARITHMETIC CODE
There are dierent ways to code the geodesic flows on surfaces with negative curvature. Such code spaces give a useful tool to verify the dynamical properties of geodesic flows. Here we consider special subspaces of geodesic flows on Hecke surface whose arithmetic codings varies on a set with innite alphabet. Then we will compare the topological complexity of them by computing their topological ...
متن کاملSymbolic Dynamics for Hyperbolic Systems
◦ Geodesic flows on compact manifolds with negative sectional curvature. Later, we relax uniform hyperbolicity to an asymptotic one, called non-uniform hyperbolicity. Two examples of such systems are: ◦ Slow down of fA : T → T, see [9]. ◦ Geodesic flows on surfaces with nonpositive curvature. Introductory example: Smale’s horseshoe [21]. Let g : K → K be Smale’s horseshoe map, and σ : Σ→ Σ the ...
متن کاملSymbolic Dynamics for the Geodesic Flow on Locally Symmetric Orbifolds of Rank One
We present a strategy for a geometric construction of cross sections for the geodesic flow on locally symmetric orbifolds of rank one. We work it out in detail for Γ\H, where H is the upper half plane and Γ = PΓ0(p), p prime. Its associated discrete dynamical system naturally induces a symbolic dynamics on R. The transfer operator produced from this symbolic dynamics has a particularly simple s...
متن کاملThe Thermodynamic Formalism Approach to Selberg's Zeta Function for Psl(2, Z)
Besides the classical approach to Selberg's zeta function for cofinite Fuchsian groups [S] through the trace formula [V] there has been developed recently another one based on the thermodynamic formalism [R2] applied to the dynamical zeta function of Smale and Ruelle [F] which for geodesic flows on surfaces of constant negative curvature (c.n.c.) is closely related to Selberg's function for the...

We construct templates for geodesic flows on an infinite family of Hecke triangle groups. Our results generalize those of E. Ghys [Knots and dynamics. Proc. Int. Congress of Mathematicians. Vol. 1. International Congress of Mathematicians, Zürich, 2007], who constructed a template for the modular flow in the complement of the trefoil knot in S3. A significant difficulty that arises in any attem...
