We provide an abstract framework for the study of certain spectral properties of parabolic systems; specifically, we determine under which general conditions to expect the presence of absolutely continuous spectral measures. We use these general conditions to derive results for spectral properties of time-changes of unipotent flows on homogeneous spaces of semisimple groups regarding absolutely continuous spectrum as well as maximal spectral type; the time-changes of the horocycle flow are special cases of this general category of flows. In addition we use the general conditions to derive spectral results for twisted horocycle flows and to rederive certain spectral results for skew products over translations and Furstenberg transformations.
By generalising Rudins construction of an aperiodic sequence, we derive new substitution-based structures which have purely absolutely continuous diffraction and mixed dynamical spectrum, with absolutely continuous and pure point parts. We discuss several examples, including a construction based on Fourier matrices which yields constant-length substitutions for any length.
In this paper, we prove that for any $d$-frequency analytic quasiperiodic Schrodinger operator, if the frequency is weak Liouvillean, and the potential is small enough, then the corresponding operator has absolutely continuous spectrum. Moreover, in the case $d=2$, we even establish the existence of ac spectrum under small potential and some super-Liouvillean frequency, and this result is optimal due to a recent counterexample of Avila and Jitomirskaya.
We prove that any $C^{1+BV}$ degree $d geq 2$ circle covering $h$ having all periodic orbits weakly expanding, is conjugate in the same smoothness class to a metrically expanding map. We use this to connect the space of parabolic external maps (coming from the theory of parabolic-like maps) to metrically expanding circle coverings.
In this article, we study algebraic dynamical pairs $(f,a)$ parametrized by an irreducible quasi-projective curve $Lambda$ having an absolutely continuous bifurcation measure. We prove that, if $f$ is non-isotrivial and $(f,a)$ is unstable, this is equivalent to the fact that $f$ is a family of Latt`es maps. To do so, we prove the density of transversely prerepelling parameters in the bifucation locus of $(f,a)$ and a similarity property, at any transversely prerepelling parameter $lambda_0$, between the measure $mu_{f,a}$ and the maximal entropy measure of $f_{lambda_0}$. We also establish an equivalent result for dynamical pairs of $mathbb{P}^k$, under an additional assumption.
We show that the definition of parabolic-like map can be slightly modified, by asking $partial Delta$ to be a quasiarc out of the parabolic fixed point, instead of the dividing arcs to be $C^1$ on $[-1,0]$ and $[0,1]$.
