Keplerian shear with Rajchman property
Arthur Boos, Benoit Saussol
TL;DR
The paper develops a Rajchman-measure framework to characterize Keplerian shear in non-ergodic dynamical systems, notably flows on torus bundles and their extensions to compact Lie group bundles. It establishes precise equivalences between Keplerian shear and Rajchman decay of associated push-forward measures, and derives both qualitative and quantitative decay rates for conditional correlations in discrete and continuous settings. The results cover regular and singular fiber measures, yield invariant-function characterizations, and reveal connections to Diophantine approximation, shrinking-target properties, and dynamical Borel-Cantelli lemmas. The work thereby extends Keplerian shear beyond classical Lebesgue contexts, providing new tools for limit theorems in non-ergodic systems and enriching the interaction between harmonic analysis and dynamical systems on fiber bundles.
Abstract
The Keplerian shear was introduced within the context of measure preserving dynamical systems by Damien Thomine, as a version of mixing for non ergodic systems. In this study we provide a characterization of the Keplerian shear using Rajchman measure, for some flows on tori bundles. Our work applies to dynamical systems with singularities or with non-absolutely continuous measures. We relate the speed of decay of conditional correlations with the Rajchman order of the measures. Some of these results are extended to the case of compact Lie group bundles.
