Let $G=prod_{i=1}^{r} G_i$ be a product of simple real algebraic groups of rank one and $Gamma$ an Anosov subgroup of $G$ with respect to a minimal parabolic subgroup. For each $v$ in the interior of a positive Weyl chamber, let $mathcal R_vsubsetGammabackslash G$ denote the Borel subset of all points with recurrent $exp (mathbb R_+ v)$-orbits. For a maximal horospherical subgroup $N$ of $G$, we show that the $N$-action on ${mathcal R}_v$ is uniquely ergodic if $r={rank}(G)le 3$ and $v$ belongs to the interior of the limit cone of $Gamma$, and that there exists no $N$-invariant {Radon} measure on $mathcal R_v$ otherwise.

We establish an extension of the Hopf-Tsuji-Sullivan dichotomy to any Zariski dense discrete subgroup of a semisimple real algebraic group $G$. We then apply this dichotomy to Anosov subgroups of $G$, which surprisingly presents a different phenomenon depending on the rank of the ambient group $G$.

Let $G$ be a connected semisimple real Lie group with finite center, and $mu$ a probability measure on $G$ whose support generates a Zariski-dense subgroup of $G$. We consider the right $mu$-random walk on $G$ and show that each random trajectory spends most of its time at bounded distance of a well-chosen Weyl chamber. We infer that if $G$ has rank one, and $mu$ has a finite first moment, then for any discrete subgroup $Lambda subseteq G$, the $mu$-walk and the geodesic flow on $Lambda backslash G$ are either both transient, or both recurrent and ergodic, thus extending a well known theorem due to Hopf-Tsuji-Sullivan-Kaimanovich dealing with the Brownian motion.

A classical Borel–Cantelli Lemma gives conditions for deciding whether an infinite number of rare events will happen almost surely. In this article, we propose an extension of Borel–Cantelli Lemma to characterize the multiple occurrence of events on the same time scale. Our results imply multiple Logarithm Laws for recurrence and hitting times, as well as Poisson Limit Laws for systems which are exponentially mixing of all orders. The applications include geodesic flows on compact negatively curved manifolds, geodesic excursions on finite volume hyperbolic manifolds, Diophantine approximations and extreme value theory for dynamical systems.

Very little is currently known about the dynamics of non-polynomial entire maps in several complex variables. The family of transcendental Hénon maps offers the potential of combining ideas from transcendental dynamics in one variable and the dynamics of polynomial Hénon maps in two. Here we show that these maps all have infinite topological and measure theoretic entropy. The proof also implies the existence of infinitely many periodic orbits of any order greater than two.

Let begin{document}$ mathscr{M} $end{document} be a geometrically finite hyperbolic manifold. We present a very general theorem on the shrinking target problem for the geodesic flow, using its exponential mixing. This includes a strengthening of Sullivan's logarithm law for the excursion rate of the geodesic flow. More generally, we prove logarithm laws for the first hitting time for shrinking cusp neighborhoods, shrinking tubular neighborhoods of a closed geodesic, and shrinking metric balls, as well as give quantitative estimates for the time a generic geodesic spends in such shrinking targets.

We address the problem of computing the critical regularity of groups of homeomorphisms of the interval. Our main result is that if $H$ and $K$ are two non-solvable groups then a $C^1$ actions of $Htimes K$ on a compact interval $I$ cannot be {em overlapping}, which by definition means that there must be non-trivial $hin H$ and $kin K$ with disjoint support. As a corollary we prove that the right-angled Artin group $(F_2times F_2)*mathbb{Z}$ has critical regularity one, which is to say that it admits a faithful $C^1$ action on $I$, but no faithful $C^{1,tau}$ action for $tau>0$. This is the first explicit example of a group of exponential growth whose critical regularity is finite, known exactly, and achieved. Another corollary we get is that Thompson's group $F$ does not admit a $C^1$ overlapping action on $I$, so that $F*mathbb{Z}$ is a new example of a locally indicable group admitting no faithful $C^1$--action on $I$.

For any accessible partially hyperbolic homogeneous flow, we show that all smooth time changes are K and hence mixing of all orders. We also establish stable ergodicity for time-one map of these time changes.
