Titel: Poisson suspensions of infinite measure preserving transformations
Vortragender: Roland Zweimueller (University of Vienna)
Abstract: The Poisson suspension T' of an infinite measure preserving transformation T is defined as the natural action of T on the space of counting measures. T' preserves a probability measure \mu' on that space, the Poisson random measure with intensity given by the infinite measure \mu preserved by T. This construction generalizes the (well-known) class non-interacting infinite particle systems driven by null-reccurrent Markov processes (e.g. random walks). I will give an introduction to this concept, and report on some recent work.

Titel: Functional stable limit theorems for Gibbs-Markov maps
Vortragender: Roland Zweimueller (ESI)
Abstract: Let T be a mixing probability preserving Gibbs-Markov map on X (e.g. a uniformly expanding piecewise invertible transformation with bounded distortion and a Markov partition), and f a real-valued function on X, satisfying certain regularity conditions (uniform Lipschitz continuity on cylinders). If the distribution of f is in the domain of attraction of a stable random variable G, it is known that suitably normalized ergodic sums converge in distribution to G. (In fact, finer conditional local limit theorems are available.) I am going to report on some recent work showing that in this situation the whole partial-sum process converges to a stable process (in the sense of weak convergence of measures on the usual Skorohod cadlag-space). This provides us with a functional version of the distributional limit theorem (a weak invariance principle).

Titel: Rates of mixing for interval maps with criticalities and singularities
Vortragender: Karla Diaz-Ordaz (ESI Junior Research Fellow)
Abstract: We prove that a class of one-dimensional maps with an arbitrary finite number of non-degenerate critical and singular points admits an induced Markov tower with exponential return time asymptotics. This implies that the map has an absolutely continuous invariant probability measure. Moreover, we establish a relationship between the rate at which the return time function decays and the decay of correlations for non-Hoelder observables.

Titel: Asymptotic orbit complexity of infinite measure preserving transformations
Vortragender: Roland Zweimueller (ESI)
Abstract: We determine the (a.e.) asymptotics of the Kolmogorov complexity of symbolic orbits of certain infinite measure preserving transformations, and show that the Brudno-White individual ergodic theorem for complexity generalizes to a ratio ergodic theorem analogous to previously established extensions of the Shannon-McMillan-Breiman theorem.
