Boundaries, rigidity of representations, and Lyapunov exponents

چکیده
In this paper we discuss some connections between measurable dynamics and rigidity aspects of group representations and group actions. A new ergodic feature of familiar group boundaries is introduced, and is used to obtain rigidity results for group representations and to prove simplicity of the Lyapunov exponents for some dynamical systems.

Rigidity of Equality of Lyapunov Exponents for Geodesic Flows
We study the relationship between the Lyapunov exponents of the geodesic flow of a closed negatively curved manifold and the geometry of the manifold. We show that if each periodic orbit of the geodesic flow has exactly one Lyapunov exponent on the unstable bundle then the manifold has constant negative curvature. We also show under a curvature pinching condition that equality of all Lyapunov e...
متن کاملLyapunov Exponents and Transport in Self-organized Criticality. Typeset Using Revt E X
We discuss the role played by the Lyapunov exponents in the dynamics of the Zhang's model of Self-Organized Criticality. We show that a wide part in the spectrum (slowest modes) is associated to energy transport in the lattice. We give in particular bounds on the first negative Lyapunov exponents in terms of the energy flux dissipated at the boundaries per unit time. We then establish an explic...
متن کاملComment on "ruling out chaos in compact binary systems".
Intuitively, black hole binaries are obvious candidates for chaotic dynamics. Firstly, they are highly non-linear systems and chaos is an expression of extreme nonlinearity. Secondly, there are isolated unstable orbits around a Schwarzschild black hole, and unstable orbits are a red flag for the onset of chaos. Surely the orbits only become more unstable and more complex when there are two blac...
متن کاملChaos and fractals around black holes
Fractal basin boundaries provide an important means of characterizing chaotic systems. We apply these ideas to general relativity, where other properties such as Lyapunov exponents are difficult to define in an observer independent manner. Here we discuss the difficulties in describing chaotic systems in general relativity and investigate the motion of particles in twoand three-black-hole space...
متن کاملLyapunov instability of rigid diatomic molecules in three dimensions.
We study the Lyapunov instability of a three-dimensional fluid composed of rigid diatomic molecules by molecular dynamics simulation. We use center-of-mass coordinates and angular variables for the configurational space variables. The spectra of Lyapunov exponents are obtained for 32 rigid diatomic molecules interacting through the Weeks-Chandler-Andersen potential for various bond lengths and ...
