AbstractIf the action induced by a pseudo-Anosov map on the first homology group is hyperbolic, it is possible, by a theorem of Franks, to find a compact invariant set for the toral automorphism associated with this action. If the stable and unstable foliations of the Pseudo-Anosov map are orientable, we show that the invariant set is a finite union of topological 2-discs. Using some ideas of Urbański, it is possible to prove that the lower capacity of the associated compact invariant set is >2; in particular, the invariant set is fractal. When the dilatation coefficient is a Pisot number, we can compute the Hausdorff dimension of the compact invariant set.

Let $A,B$ be two diagonal endomorphisms of the $d$-dimensional torus with corresponding eigenvalues relatively prime. We show that for any $A$-invariant ergodic measure $\mu$, there exists a projection onto a torus ${\mathbb T}^r$ of dimension $r\ge\dim\mu$, that maps $\mu$-almost every $B$-orbit to a uniformly distributed sequence in ${\mathbb T}^r$. As a corollary we obtain that the Hausdorff dimension of any bi-invariant measure, as well as any closed bi-invariant set, is an integer.

We investigate differential invariants for homoclinic tangencies and discuss the role of these invariants in the Hausdorff dimension of invariant sets associated with the tangency and its unfoldings. Further, we give a streamlined proof of a theorem of Goncheko and Shilnikov on the case of a tangency in an area preserving map. Specifically, the invariants determine whether or not a hyperbolic invariant set is formed near the tangency.

It is an open problem to determine for which maps $f$, any compact invariant set $K$ carries an ergodic invariant measure of the same Hausdorff dimension as $K$. If $f$ is conformal and expanding, then it is a known consequence of the thermodynamic formalism that such measures do exist. (We give a proof here under minimal smoothness assumptions.) If $f$ has the form $f(x_1,x_2)=(f_1(x_1),f_2(x_2))$, where $f_1$ and $f_2$ are conformal and expanding maps satisfying $\inf \vert Df_1\vert\geq\sup\vert Df_2\vert$, then for a large class of invariant sets $K$, we show that ergodic invariant measures of dimension arbitrarily close to the dimension of $K$ do exist. The proof is based on approximating $K$ by self-affine sets.

AbstractWe study the Hausdorff dimension and measures of full Hausdorff dimension for a compact invariant set of an expanding non-conformal map on the torus given by an integer-valued diagonal matrix. The Hausdorff dimension of a ‘general Sierpiński carpet’ was found by McMullen and Bedford and the uniqueness of the measure of full Hausdorff dimension in some cases was proved by Kenyon and Peres. We extend these results by using compensation functions to study a general Sierpiński carpet represented by a shift of finite type. We give some conditions under which a general Sierpiński carpet has a unique measure of full Hausdorff dimension and study the properties of the unique measure.

We consider the classical scattering of particles in a one-degree-of-freedom, time-dependent Hamiltonian system. We demonstrate that chaotic scattering can be induced by periodic oscillations in the position of the potential. We study the invariant sets on a surface of section for different amplitudes of the oscillating potential. It is found that for small amplitudes, the phase space consists of nonescaping KAM islands and an escaping set. The escaping set is made up of a nonhyperbolic set that gives rise to chaotic scattering and remains of KAM islands. For large amplitudes, the phase space contains a Lebesgue measure zero invariant set that gives rise to chaotic scattering. In this regime, we also discuss the physical origin of the Cantor set responsible for the chaotic scattering and calculate its fractal dimension.

This paper studies the set limit of a sequence of invariant sets corresponding to a convergent sequence of piecewise monotone interval maps. To do this, the notion of essential entropy-carrying set is introduced. A piecewise monotone map f with an essential entropy-carrying horseshoe S(f) and a sequence of piecewise monotone maps [Formula: see text] converging to f is considered. It is proven that if each gi has an invariant set T(gi) with at least as much topological entropy as f, then the set limit of [Formula: see text] contains S(f).
