AbstractIn this paper, we introduce and study theα-Farey map and its associated jump transformation, theα-Lüroth map, for an arbitrary countable partitionαof the unit interval with atoms which accumulate only at the origin. These maps represent linearized generalizations of the Farey map and the Gauss map from elementary number theory. First, a thorough analysis of some of their topological and ergodic theoretical properties is given, including establishing exactness for both types of these maps. The first main result then is to establish weak and strong renewal laws for what we have calledα-sum-level sets for theα-Lüroth map. Similar results have previously been obtained for the Farey map and the Gauss map by using infinite ergodic theory. In this respect, a side product of the paper is to allow for greater transparency of some of the core ideas of infinite ergodic theory. The second remaining result is to obtain a complete description of the Lyapunov spectra of theα-Farey map and theα-Lüroth map in terms of the thermodynamical formalism. We show how to derive these spectra and then give various examples which demonstrate the diversity of their behaviours in dependence on the chosen partitionα.

In this research, we present some basic facts about Lie algebra and Lie groups. We shall require only elementary facts about the general definition and knowledge of a few of the more basic groups, such as Euclidean groups. Then we introduce the Heisenberg group which is the most well-known example from the realm of nilpotent Lie groups and plays an important role in several branches of mathematics, such as representation theory, partial differential equations and number theory... It also offers the greatest opportunity for generalizing the remarkable results of Euclidean harmonic analysis.
