AbstractWe introduce a functor which associates to every measure-preserving system (X,ℬ,μ,T) a topological system $(C_2(\mu ),\tilde {T})$ defined on the space of twofold couplings of μ, called the topological lens of T. We show that often the topological lens ‘magnifies’ the basic measure dynamical properties of T in terms of the corresponding topological properties of $\tilde {T}$. Some of our main results are as follows: (i) T is weakly mixing if and only if $\tilde {T}$ is topologically transitive (if and only if it is topologically weakly mixing); (ii) T has zero entropy if and only if $\tilde {T}$ has zero topological entropy, and T has positive entropy if and only if $\tilde {T}$ has infinite topological entropy; (iii) for T a K-system, the topological lens is a P-system (i.e. it is topologically transitive and the set of periodic points is dense; such systems are also called chaotic in the sense of Devaney).

Recurrent Set

We give a characterization of complex and simple interval maps and circle maps (in the sense of positive or zero topological entropy respectively), formulated in terms of the description of the dynamics of the map on its chain recurrent set. We also describe the behavior of complex maps on their periodic points.

Gaussian Maps

A one-dimensional Gaussian map defined by a Gaussian function describes a discrete-time dynamical system. Chaotic behavior can be observed in both Gaussian and logistic maps. This study analyzes the bifurcation structure corresponding to the fixed and periodic points of a coupled system comprising two Gaussian maps. The bifurcation structure of a mutually coupled Gaussian map is more complex than that of a mutually coupled logistic map. In a coupled Gaussian map, it was confirmed that after a stable fixed point or stable periodic points became unstable through the bifurcation, the points were able to recover their stability while the system parameters were changing. Moreover, we investigated a parameter region in which symmetric and asymmetric stable fixed points coexisted. Asymmetric unstable fixed point was generated by the [Formula: see text]-type branching of a symmetric stable fixed point. The stability of the unstable fixed point could be recovered through period-doubling and tangent bifurcations. Furthermore, a homoclinic structure related to the occurrence of chaotic behavior and invariant closed curves caused by two-periodic points was observed. The mutually coupled Gaussian map was merely a two-dimensional dynamical system; however, chaotic itinerancy, known to be a characteristic property associated with high-dimensional dynamical systems, was observed. The bifurcation structure of the mutually coupled Gaussian map clearly elucidates the mechanism of chaotic itinerancy generation in the two-dimensional coupled map. We discussed this mechanism by comparing the bifurcation structures of the Gaussian and logistic maps.

Partially Hyperbolic Diffeomorphisms

AbstractWe consider partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms on compact manifolds. We define the notion of the unstable and stable foliations stably carrying some unique non-trivial homologies. Under this topological assumption, we prove the following two results: if the center foliation is one-dimensional, then the topological entropy is locally a constant; and if the center foliation is two-dimensional, then the topological entropy is continuous on the set of all $C^{\infty }$ diffeomorphisms. The proof uses a topological invariant we introduced, Yomdin’s theorem on upper semi-continuity, Katok’s theorem on lower semi-continuity for two-dimensional systems, and a refined Pesin–Ruelle inequality we proved for partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms.

We establish a generalized thermodynamic formalism for certain nonhyperbolic maps with countably many preimages. We study existence and uniqueness of conformal measures and statistical properties of the equilibrium states absolutely continuous with respect to the conformal measures. We will see that such measures are not Gibbs but satisfy a version of Gibbs property (weak Gibbs measure). We apply our results to a one-parameter family of one-dimensional maps and a two-dimensional nonconformal map related to number theory. Both of them admit indifferent periodic points.

The quadratic iteration is mapped using a nondistributive real scator algebra in three dimensions. The bound set S has a rich fractal-like boundary. Periodic points on the scalar axis are necessarily surrounded by off axis divergent magnitude points. There is a one-to-one correspondence of this set with the bifurcation diagram of the logistic map. The three-dimensional S set exhibits self-similar 3D copies of the elementary fractal along the negative scalar axis. These 3D copies correspond to the windows amid the chaotic behavior of the logistic map. Nonetheless, the two-dimensional projection becomes identical to the nonfractal quadratic iteration produced with hyperbolic numbers. Two- and three-dimensional renderings are presented to explore some of the features of this set.

Chaotic mixing of fluids in slow flows is ubiquitous but incompletely understood. However, relatively simple experiments provide a wealth of information regarding mixing mechanisms and indicate the need for complementary theoretical developments in dynamical systems. In this work we presnt a versatile cavity flow apparatus, capable of producing a variety of two-dimensional velocity fields, and use it to conduct a detailed experimental study of mixing in low-Reynolds-number flows. Since the goal is detailed understanding, only two time-periodic co-rotating flows induced by wall motions are considered: one continuous and the other discontinuous. Both types of flows produce exponential growth of intermaterial area, as expected from chaotic flows, and a mixture of islands and chaotic regions. A procedure for identifying periodic points and determining their movements is presented as well as how to make meaningful comparisons between periodic flows. We observe that periodic points move very much as a planetary system; planets (hyperbolic points) have moons (elliptic points) with twice the period of the planets; furthermore the spatial arrangement of periodic points becomes symmetric at regular time intervals. Detailed analyses reveal complex behaviour: birth, bifurcation, and collapse of islands; formation and periodic motion of coherent structures, such as islands and large-scale folds. However, the richness and complexity of the results obtained indicate that these two-dimensional time-periodic systems are far from completely understood and that other wall motions might deserve a similar level of scrutiny.

Piecewise Monotonic

Let I be the unit interval [0, 1] of the real line. For integers k ≥ 1 and n ≥ 2, we construct simple piecewise monotonic expanding maps Fk, n in C0 (I, I) with the following three properties: (1) The positive integer n is an expanding constant for Fk, n for all k; (2) The topological entropy of Fk, n is greater than or equal to log n for all k; (3) Fk, n has periodic points of least period 2k · 3, but no periodic point of least period 2k−1 (2m+1) for any positive integer m. This is in contrast to the fact that there are expanding (but not piecewise monotonic) maps in C0(I, I) with very large expanding constants which have exactly one fixed point, say, at x = 1, but no other periodic point.
