Neste trabalho, provamos um caso particular do Teorema de Ratner de classificação de medidas, que nos diz que se X =Γ\\G é um espaço homogêneo, onde G é um grupo de Lie e Γ é um lattice de G, então dado um subgrupo unipotente U de G, conseguimos classificar as medidas ergódicas com relação a ação por translação do grupo U em X. Além do Teorema de Ratner de classificação de medidas, falamos sobre o Teorema de Ratner de equidistribuição e o Teorema de Ratner do fecho da órbita, que nos dizem como são as órbitas pela ação por translação do grupo U e como é sua dinâmica em X, do ponto de vista da Teoria Ergódica. Embora estes últimos resultados não sejam provados nesta dissertação, exibimos uma importante aplicação do Teorema de Ratner do fecho da órbita em teoria dos números, provando a Conjectura de Oppeinheim, também conhecida como Teorema de Margullis. / In this work, we prove a particular case of the Ratners measure classification theorem, which tell us that if X = Γ\\G is an homogeneous space, where G is a Lie group and Γ is a lattice of G, then given any unipotent group U of G, we can classify the measures that are ergodic with respect to the translation group action of U in X In addition to the Ratners measure classification theorem, we talk about the Ratners equidistribuition theorem and the Ratners orbit closure theorem, which tell us how the orbit due the action by translation by the group U are and how the dynamics in X is, in an Ergodic Theory point of view. While we didnt prove the last two Ratners theorems, we exhibit an important application of the Ratners orbit closure theorem in number theory, proving the Oppeinheim Conjecture, also know as Margullis Theorem.

Por exemplo, em mecânica estatística, dado um potencial invariante por translação, seus estados fundamentais são medidas de probabilidade invariantes por translação suportadas no conjunto de suas configurações fundamentais, isto é, das configurações com energia específica mínima. Estados fundamentais são naturalmente associados com o bordo de certos polítopos convexos dimensionalmente finitos. Esse bordo se torna drasticamente diferente se a dimensão do modelo em questão passa de d = 1 para d > 1, pois no caso multidimensional existe shift de tipo finito unicamente ergódico sem configurações periódicas / Abstract: We will focus on dynamic and ergodic aspects of multidimensional shifts, with particular care to their relations with ground states and quasicrystals in lattices. For example, in statistical mechanics, given a translation-invariant potential, its ground states are translation-invariant probability measures supported on the set of its ground configurations, i.e., of configurations with minimal specific energy. Ground states are naturally associated with the boundary of certain finite-dimensional convex polytopes. This boundary becomes drastically different if the dimension of the model in question changes from d = 1 to d > 1, because in the multidimensional case there exists uniquely ergodic shift of finite type with no periodic configurations / Mestrado / Matematica / Mestre em Matemática

This dissertation is about some of the most important philosophical aspects of chaos research, a famous recent mathematical area of research about deterministic yet unpredictable and irregular, or even random behaviour. It consists of three parts. First, as a basis for the dissertation, I examine notions of unpredictability in ergodic theory, and I ask what they tell us about the justification and formulation of mathematical definitions. The main account of the actual practice of justifying mathematical definitions is Lakatos's account on proof-generated definitions. By investigating notions of unpredictability in ergodic theory, I present two previously unidentified but common ways of justifying definitions. Furthermore, I criticise Lakatos's account as being limited: it does not acknowledge the interrelationships between the different kinds of justification, and it ignores the fact that various kinds of justification - not only proof-generation - are important. Second, unpredictability is a central theme in chaos research, and it is widely claimed that chaotic systems exhibit a kind of unpredictability which is specific to chaos. However, I argue that the existing answers to the question "What is the unpredictability specific to chaos?" are wrong. I then go on to propose a novel answer, viz. the unpredictability specific to chaos is that for predicting any event all sufficiently past events are approximately probabilistically irrelevant. Third, given that chaotic systems are strongly unpredictable, one is led to ask: are deterministic and indeterministic descriptions observationally equivalent, i.e., do they give the same predictions? I treat this question for measure-theoretic deterministic systems and stochastic processes, both of which are ubiquitous in science. I discuss and formalise the notion of observational equivalence. By proving results in ergodic theory, I first show that for many measure-preserving deterministic descriptions there is an observationally equivalent indeterministic description, and that for all indeterministic descriptions there is an observationally equivalent deterministic description. I go on to show that strongly chaotic systems are even observationally equivalent to some of the most random stochastic processes encountered in science. For instance, strongly chaotic systems give the same predictions at every observation level as Markov processes or semi-Markov processes. All this illustrates that even kinds of deterministic and indeterministic descriptions which, intuitively, seem to give very different predictions are observationally equivalent. Finally, I criticise the claims in the previous philosophical literature on observational equivalence.

Nous étudions les constantes de Siegel–Veech pour les surfaces plates et leurs liens avec les volumes de strates d'espaces de modules de différentielles quadratiques. Les constantes de Siegel–Veech donnent l'asymptotique du nombre de géodésiques périodiques dans les surfaces plates. Pour certaines surfaces plates, de telles géodésiques correspondent aux trajectoires périodiques dans les billiards rationnels correspondants. Les constantes de Siegel–Veech sont fortement reliées à la dynamique du flot géodésique dans les espaces de modules correspondants, par la formule d'Eskin–Kontsevich–Zorich exprimant la somme des exposants de Lyapunov du fibré de Hodge le long du flot de Teichmüller en fonction de la constante de Siegel–Veech pour la strate considérée et d'un terme combinatoire explicite. Cette dynamique est liée à la dynamique du flot linéaire dans la surface plate de départ par un procédé de renormalisation. En utilisant certaines propriétés de cette dynamique nous montrons un critère qui détermine quand une courbe complexe plongée dans l'espace de module des surfaces de Riemann munie d'un sous-fibré en droites du fibré de Hodge est une courbe de Teichmüller. Nous étudions certains rapports de constantes de Siegel–Veech et en déduisons des informations géométriques sur les régions périodiques dans les surfaces plates. Les liens entre les constantes de Siegel–Veech et les volumes d'espaces de modules ont été étudiés complètement dans le cas abélien par Eskin, Masur et Zorich, et dans le cas quadratique en genre zéro par Athreya, Eskin et Zorich. Nous généralisons ces résultats au cas quadratique en genre supérieur, en utilisant la description des configurations de liens selles produite par Masur et Zorich. Nous calculons de façon explicite certains volumes de strates de petite dimension. / We study Siegel–Veech constants for flat surfaces and their links with the volumes of some strata of moduli spaces of quadratic differentials. Siegel–Veech constants give the asymptotics of the number of periodic geodesics in flat surfaces. For certain flat surfaces such geodesics correspond to periodic trajectories in related rational billiards. Siegel–Veech constants are strongly linked to the dynamics of the geodesic flow in related moduli spaces by the formula of Eskin–Kontsevich–Zorich, giving the sum of the Lyapunov exponents for the Hodge bundle along the Teichmüller geodesic flow in terms of the Siegel–Veech constant for the corresponding stratum and an explicit combinatorial expression. This dynamics is related to the dynamics of the linear flow in the original flat surface by a renormalization process. Using some properties of this dynamics we prove a criterion to detect whether a complex curve, embedded in the moduli space of Riemann surfaces and endowed with a line subbundle of the Hodge bundle, is a Teichmüller curve. We study ratios of Siegel–Veech constants and deduce geometric informations about the periodic regions in flat surfaces. The links between Siegel–Veech constants and volumes of moduli spaces were completely studied by Eskin, Masur and Zorich in the Abelian case, and by Athreya, Eskin and Zorich in the quadratic case in genus zero. We generalize their results to the quadratic case in higher genus, using the description of configurations of saddle-connections performed by Masur and Zorich. We provide explicit computations of volumes of some strata of low dimension.

Cette thèse s'intéresse à l'étude des EDSR ergodiques et à leurs applications à l'étude du comportement en temps long des solutions d'EDP paraboliques semi-linéaires. Dans un premier temps, nous établissons des résultats d'existence et d'unicité d'une EDSR ergodique avec conditions de Neumann au bord dans un convexe non borné et dans un environnement faiblement dissipatif. Nous étudions ensuite leur lien avec les EDP avec conditions de Neumann au bord et nous donnons un exemple d'application à un problème de contrôle optimal stochastique. La deuxième partie est constituée de deux sous-parties. Tout d'abord, nous étudions le comportement en temps long des solutions mild d'une EDP parabolique semi-linéaire en dimension infinie par des méthodes probabilistes. Cette méthode probabiliste repose sur une application d'un résultat nommé "Basic coupling estimate" qui nous permet d'obtenir une vitesse de convergence exponentielle de la solution vers sons asymptote. Au passage notons que cette asymptote est entièrement déterminée par la solution de l'EDP ergodique semi-linéaire associée à l'EDP parabolique semi-linéaire initiale. Puis, nous adaptons cette méthode à l'étude du comportement en temps long des solutions de viscosité d'une EDP parabolique semi-linéaire avec condition de Neumann au bord dans un convexe borné en dimension finie. Par des méthodes de régularisation et de pénalisation des coefficients et en utilisant un résultat de stabilité pour les EDSR, nous obtenons des résultats analogues à ceux obtenus dans le contexte mild, avec notamment une vitesse exponentielle de convergence de la solution vers son asymptote. / This thesis deals with the study of ergodic BSDE and their applications to the study of the large time behaviour of solutions to semilinear parabolic PDE. In a first time, we establish some existence and uniqueness results to an ergodic BSDE with Neumann boundary conditions in an unbounded convex set in a weakly dissipative environment. Then we study their link with PDE with Neumann boundary condition and we give an application to an ergodic stochastic control problem. The second part consists of two sections. In the first one, we study the large time bahaviour of mild solutions to semilinear parabolic PDE in infinite dimension by a probabilistic method. This probabilistic method relies on a Basic coupling estimate result which gives us an exponential rate of convergence of the solution toward its asymptote. Let us mention that that this asymptote is fully determined by the solution of the ergodic semilinear PDE associated to the parabolic semilinear PDE. Then, we adapt this method to the sudy of the large time behaviour of viscosity solutions of semilinear parabolic PDE with Neumann boundary condition in a convex and bounded set in finite dimension. By regularization and penalization procedures, we obtain similar results as those obtained in the mild context, especially with an exponential rate of convergence for the solution toward its asymptote.

Thermodynamical formalism is a relatively recent area of pure mathematics owing a lot to some classical notions of thermodynamics. On this thesis we state and prove some of the main results in the area of thermodynamical formalism. The first chapter is an introduction to ergodic theory. Some of the main theorems are proved and there is also a quite thorough study of the topology that arises in Borel probability measure spaces. In the second chapter we introduce the notions of topological pressure and measure theoretic entropy and we state and prove two very important theorems, Shannon-McMillan-Breiman theorem and the Variational Principle. Distance expanding maps and their connection with the calculation of topological pressure cover the third chapter. The fourth chapter introduces Gibbs states and the very important Perron-Frobenius Operator. The fifth chapter establishes the connection between pressure and geometry. Topological pressure is used in the calculation of Hausdorff dimensions. Finally the sixth chapter introduces the notion of conformal measures.

We consider diffeomorphisms of a compact Riemann Surface. A development of Oseledec's Multiplicative Ergodic Theorem is given, along with a development of measure theoretic entropy and dimension. The main result, due to L.S. Young, is that for certain diffeomorphisms of a surface, there is a beautiful relationship between these three concepts; namely that the entropy equals dimension times expansion.

The ever-growing demands for wireless technologies necessitate the evolution of next generation wireless networks that fulfill the diverse wireless users requirements. However, upscaling existing wireless networks implies upscaling an intrinsic component in the wireless domain; the aggregate network interference. Being the main performance limiting factor, it becomes crucial to develop a rigorous analytical framework to accurately characterize the out-of-cell interference, to reap the benefits of emerging networks. Due to the different network setups and key performance indicators, it is essential to conduct a comprehensive study that unifies the various network configurations together with the different tangible performance metrics. In that regard, the focus of this thesis is to present a unified mathematical paradigm, based on Stochastic Geometry, for large-scale networks with different antenna/network configurations. By exploiting such a unified study, we propose an efficient automated network design strategy to satisfy the desired network objectives. First, this thesis studies the exact aggregate network interference characterization, by accounting for each of the interferers signals in the large-scale network. Second, we show that the information about the interferers symbols can be approximated via the Gaussian signaling approach. The developed mathematical model presents twofold analysis unification for uplink and downlink cellular networks literature. It aligns the tangible decoding error probability analysis with the abstract outage probability and ergodic rate analysis. Furthermore, it unifies the analysis for different antenna configurations, i.e., various multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. Accordingly, we propose a novel reliable network design strategy that is capable of appropriately adjusting the network parameters to meet desired design criteria. In addition, we discuss the diversity-multiplexing tradeoffs imposed by differently favored MIMO schemes, describe the relation between the diverse network parameters and configurations, and study the impact of temporal interference correlation on the performance of large-scale networks. Finally, we investigate some interference management techniques by exploiting the proposed framework. The proposed framework is compared to the exact analysis as well as intensive Monte Carlo simulations to demonstrate the model accuracy. The developed work casts a thorough inclusive study that is beneficial to deepen the understanding of the stochastic deployment of the next-generation large-scale wireless networks and predict their performance.

Generalized fading has been an imminent part and parcel of wireless communications. It not only characterizes the wireless channel appropriately but also allows its utilization for further performance analysis of various types of wireless communication systems. Under the umbrella of generalized fading channels, a unified performance analysis of a free-space optical (FSO) link over the Malaga (M) atmospheric turbulence channel that accounts for pointing errors and both types of detection techniques (i.e. indirect modulation/direct detection (IM/DD) as well as heterodyne detection) is presented. Specifically, unified exact closed-form expressions for the probability density function (PDF), the cumulative distribution function (CDF), the moment generating function (MGF), and the moments of the end-to-end signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of a single link FSO transmission system are presented, all in terms of the Meijer's G function except for the moments that is in terms of simple elementary functions. Then capitalizing on these unified results, unified exact closed-form expressions for various performance metrics of FSO link transmission systems are offered, such as, the outage probability (OP), the higher-order amount of fading (AF), the average error rate for binary and M-ary modulation schemes, and the ergodic capacity (except for IM/DD technique, where closed-form lower bound results are presented), all in terms of Meijer's G functions except for the higher-order AF that is in terms of simple elementary functions. Additionally, the asymptotic results are derived for all the expressions derived earlier in terms of the Meijer's G function in the high SNR regime in terms of simple elementary functions via an asymptotic expansion of the Meijer's G function. Furthermore, new asymptotic expressions for the ergodic capacity in the low as well as high SNR regimes are derived in terms of simple elementary functions via utilizing moments. All the presented results are verified via computer-based Monte-Carlo simulations. Besides addressing the pointing errors with zero boresight effects as has been addressed above, a unified capacity analysis of a FSO link that accounts for nonzero boresight pointing errors and both types of detection techniques (i.e. heterodyne detection as well as IM/DD) is also addressed. Specifically, an exact closed-form expression for the moments of the end-to-end SNR of a single link FSO transmission system is presented in terms of well-known elementary functions. Capitalizing on these new moments expressions, approximate and simple closed-form results for the ergodic capacity at high and low SNR regimes are derived for lognormal (LN), Rician-LN (RLN), and M atmospheric turbulences. All the presented results are verified via computer-based Monte-Carlo simulations. Based on the fact that FSO links are cost-effective, license-free, and can provide even higher bandwidths compared to the traditional radio-frequency (RF) links, the performance analysis of a dual-hop relay system composed of asymmetric RF and FSO links is presented. This is complemented by the performance analysis of a dual-branch transmission system composed of a direct RF link and a dual-hop relay composed of asymmetric RF and FSO links. The performance of the later scenario is evaluated under the assumption of the selection combining (SC) diversity and the maximal ratio combining (MRC) schemes. RF links are modeled by Rayleigh fading distribution whereas the FSO link is modeled by a unified GG fading distribution. More specifically, in this work, new exact closed-form expressions for the PDF, the CDF, the MGF, and the moments of the end-to-end SNR are derived. Capitalizing on these results, new exact closed-form expressions for the OP, the higher-order AF, the average error rate for binary and M-ary modulation schemes, and the ergodic capacity are offered. Cognitive radio networks (CRN) have also proved to improve the performance of wireless communication systems and hence based on this, the hybrid system analyzed above is extended with CRN technology wherein the outage and error performance analysis of a dual-hop transmission system composed of asymmetric RF channel cascaded with a FSO link is presented. For the RF link, an underlay cognitive network is considered where the secondary users share the spectrum with licensed primary users. Indoor femtocells act as a practical example for such networks. Specifically, it is assumed that the RF link applies power control to maintain the interference at the primary network below a predetermined threshold. While the RF channel is modeled by the Rayleigh fading distribution, the FSO link is modeled by a unified Gamma-Gamma turbulence distribution. The FSO link accounts for pointing errors and both types of detection techniques (i.e. heterodyne detection as well as IM/DD). With this model, a new exact closed-form expression is derived for the OP and the error rate of the end-to-end SNR of these systems in terms of the Meijer's G function and the Fox's H functions under amplify-and-forward relay schemes. All new analytical results are verified via computer-based Monte-Carlo simulations and are illustrated by some selected numerical results.
