Three-year postdoctoral position in Ergodic Theory at Loughborough

 [expired]

Loughborough University is seeking to appoint a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the area of Smooth Ergodic Theory to conduct research under the direction of Dr Wael Bahsoun on an EPSRC funded project “Transfer operators and emergent dynamics in hyperbolic systems”. The project also involves collaboration with Prof. Mark Pollicott (Warwick) and with Prof. Carlangelo Liverani (Rome). 

The appointee will be based in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Loughborough University. 

Candidates should have a PhD in Mathematics and should be interested in conducting research on Smooth Ergodic Theory / Dynamical Systems via transfer operator techniques.

PhD position in Ergodic Theory at Utrecht University

 [expired]

PhD position available in Ergodic Theory at Utrecht University with title Merging Critical Orbits. The position is sponsored by a grant from the Dutch National Science Foundation.

General Description of the intended research:

Matching is a mysterious phenomenon which has recently been observed  for several parameterized families of interval maps in the deterministic and random settings. It is the property that for each critical point the (random) orbits of the left and right limit merge after some finite number of steps, and that the (expected value of the) derivatives of both orbits are also equal at that time; this assures the stability of this phenomenon under small perturbations of the parameter. Since most of the dynamical behaviour of systems are encoded in the possible trajectories of the critical points, knowledge on when and how matching occurs can help in finding explicit expression for the natural invariant measure. Once such a measure is found, one is able to obtain essential information regarding the system, such as the frequency the orbits enter a specific region, the entropy, the Lyapunov exponents, mixing rates etc., and to make comparisons as the parameter varies. There are many theorems that assert the existence of such invariant measures, but there are few results that give a recipe for an explicit formula, which is essential in describing the exact asymptotic behaviour. We propose a new methodology to construct such measures and to uncover their properties and behaviour under parameterized perturbations. Our aim is to give a systematic way of analysing such systems and to provide a new approach, with the help of matching, to relate non-isomorphic systems that exhibit similar matching phenomena and to extract information from one system to the other.
