Abstract

Let $G$ be a locally compact group, let $\Gamma$ be a lattice in $G$, and let $\eta$ be a spread-out probability measure on $G$. A Furstenberg discretization of $\eta$ to $\Gamma$ is a probability measure $\mu$ on $\Gamma$ such that every $(G,\eta)$-stationary space is also $(\Gamma,\mu)$-stationary. For cocompact lattices $\Gamma$ and under mild regularity conditions on $\eta$, we construct Furstenberg discretizations satisfying finite moment conditions of arbitrary order with respect to arbitrary prescribed subadditive functions. Our approach relies on a rather general study of differential entropy and Lyapunov exponents in the setting of locally compact groups. We relate Lyapunov exponents to spectral radii in weighted $L^{1}$-algebras and prove vanishing results for weights coming from length functions. Additionally, we prove that if $G$ has the property of rapid decay or the Kunze--Stein property, this yields entropy formulas for stationary actions whose Koopman representation is weakly contained in the left-regular representation. As consequences, we obtain preservation results for Poisson boundaries under discretization and characterize Zimmer amenability of stationary actions in terms of weak containment and maximal Furstenberg entropy.

Two Growth Filtrations for Drift Laplacians: Compatibility, Rigidity, and an Inverse Hermite/Laguerre Theorem

Let $(M^n,g)$ be a complete, connected, noncompact Riemannian manifold, and let $f\ge0$ be a proper $C^2$ weight. We assume polynomial bounds on $f$, $|\nabla f|$, and $\Delta f$ (Assumptions H1-H3), with growth exponent $\alpha>0$. We study the drift Laplacian $L_f=\Delta-\langle\nabla f,\nabla\cdot\rangle$ on $L^2(M,...

On some aspects of discrete groups acting ergodically on the boundary

We show that if $G$ is a real semisimple Lie group and $\Gamma<G$ is a discrete subgroup with slow growth, in the sense that its growth indicator function is smaller than $\rho$, then $\Gamma$ acts totally dissipatively on the Furstenberg boundary of $G$. Moreover, for $G= SO(n,2)$ and $n\geq 3$, we construct infinite-...

Entropy and semiconjugacy on surfaces

Let $g$ be a $C^\infty$ diffeomorphism in the isotopy class of a pseudo-Anosov homeomorphism $f$ such that $g$ and $f$ have the same topological entropy. In 1988, Handel proved that this implies the existence of a semiconjugacy $\pi$ from $g$ to $f$. He stated that, in general, there is at least one point $x$ such that...

Boundary Geometry and Surjective Linear Isometries of Weighted Hardy Spaces

Let $D\subset\mathbb C^n$, $n\geq 2$, be a bounded pseudoconvex domain with smooth boundary, and let $H^p_\omega(D)$ be the Hardy space defined using a weighted boundary measure $\omega\,d\sigma$, where $\omega$ is bounded above and bounded away from zero. For every $0<p<\infty$, $p\neq2$, we prove that each surjective...

Fourier rearrangements on discrete groups: $L^p$ and operator-norm subsequence convergence

Let $\Gamma$ be an infinite finitely generated group that is hyperbolic or of polynomial growth. For $f$ belonging to the reduced group $C^*$ algebra $C_r^*(\Gamma)$, we construct a rearrangement of its individual Fourier terms with a subsequence converging to $f$ in the operator norm. For every $2\le p<\infty$ and $f$...

Partition-theoretic density formulas: radial Tauberian theory and non-radial instability

Ono, Schneider and Wagner found a partition-theoretic analogue of Alladi's duality formula: for many sets $S\subseteq\N$, the series $-\sum\mu_{\mathcal P}(\lambda)q^{|\lambda|}$ over partitions into distinct parts with smallest part in $S$ tends to the density of $S$ as $q\to1$. We determine when this happens. Radiall...
