Let (Xn, n ≥ 0) be a random dynamical system and its state space be endowed with a reasonable topology. Instead of completing the structure as common by some linearity, this study stresses — motivated in particular by economic applications — order aspects. If the underlying random transformations are supposed to be order-preserving, this results in a fairly complete theory. First of all, the classical notions of and familiar criteria for recurrence and transience can be extended from discrete Markov chain theory. The most important fact is provided by the existence and uniqueness of a locally finite-invariant measure for recurrent systems. It allows to derive ergodic theorems as well as to introduce an attract or in a natural way. The classification is completed by distinguishing positive and null recurrence corresponding, respectively, to the case of a finite or infinite invariant measure; equivalently, this amounts to finite or infinite mean passage times. For positive recurrent systems, moreover, strengthened versions of weak convergence as well as generalized laws of large numbers are available.

For an annealed type random dynamical system arising from non-uniformly expanding maps which admits uniformly contractive branches, we establish the existence of an absolutely continuous [Formula: see text]-finite invariant measure. We also show when the invariant measure is infinite.

Let Σ be a left amenable semigroup, and let {Tσ: σ ∊ Σ} be a representation of Σ as a semigroup of positive linear contraction operators on L1(X, 𝓐, p). This paper is devoted to the study of existence of a finite equivalent invariant measure for such semigroups of operators.

Recently there has been a great deal of interest in extending refinements of locally finite and point finite collections on subsets of certain topological spaces. In particular the first named author showed that a subset S of a topological space X is P-embedded in X if and only if every locally finite cozero-set cover on S has a refinement that can be extended to a locally finite cozero-set cover of X. Since then many authors have studied similar types of embeddings (see [1], [2], [3], [4], [6], [8], [9], [10], [11], and [12]). Since the above characterization of P-embedding is equivalent to extending continuous pseudometrics from the subspace S up to the whole space X, it is natural to wonder when can a locally finite or a point finite open or cozero-set cover on S be extended to a locally finite or point-finite open or cozero-set cover on X.

AbstractThe rigidity theorem for ergodic actions of semi-simple groups and their lattice subgroups provides results concerning orbit equivalence of the actions of these groups with finite invariant measure. The main point of this paper is to extend the rigidity theorem on one hand to actions of general Lie groups with finite invariant measure, and on the other to actions of lattices on homogeneous spaces of the ambient connected group possibly without invariant measure. For example, this enables us to deduce non-orbit equivalence results for the actions of SL (n, ℤ) on projective space, Euclidean space, and general flag and Grassman varieties.

In this paper we consider a Galton-Watson process in which particles move according to a positive recurrent Markov chain on a general state space. We prove a law of large numbers for the empirical position distribution and also discuss the rate of this convergence.

The avalanche transformation as a model for avalanches in neural dynamics was introduced in [8] in 2008. Here we discuss this transformation in terms of group actions, random dynamics and skew products with a finite invariant measure. The results are based on [8]. Some open problems are mentioned.

AbstractGiven a connected Lie group G acting ergodically on a space S with finite invariant measure, one can ask when G will contain single elements (or one-parameter subgroups) that still act ergodically. For a compact simple group or the isometry group of the plane, or any group projecting onto such groups, an ergodic action may have no ergodic elements, but for any other connected Lie group ergodic elements will exist. The proof uses the unitary representation theory of Lie groups and Lie group structure theory.
