A smooth diffeomorphism is said to be distributionally uniquely ergodic (DUE for short) when it is uniquely ergodic and its unique invariant probability measure is the only invariant distribution (up to multiplication by a constant). Ergodic translations on tori are classical examples of DUE diffeomorphisms. In this article we construct DUE diffeomorphisms supported on closed manifolds different from tori, providing some counterexamples to a conjecture proposed by Forni in [For08].

Invariant distributions for homogeneous flows and affine transformations

We prove that every homogeneous flow on a finite-volume homogeneous manifold has countably many independent invariant distributions unless it is conjugate to a linear flow on a torus. We also prove…

Cohomological equations and invariant distributions for minimal circle diffeomorphisms

Given any smooth circle diffeomorphism with irrational rotation number, we show that its invariant probability measure is the only invariant distribution (up to multiplication by a real constant). As…

Invariant distributions and time averages for horocycle flows

There are infinitely many obstructions to existence of smooth solutions of the cohomological equation Uu = f , where U is the vector field generating the horocycle flow on the unit tangent bundle SM…

On the invariant distributions of $$C^2$$ circle diffeomorphisms of irrational rotation number

Although invariant measures are a fundamental tool in Dynamical Systems, very little is known about distributions (i.e. linear functionals defined on some space of smooth functions on the underlying…

On the cohomological equation for nilflows

Let X be a vector field on a compact connected manifold M. An important question in dynamical systems is to know when a function g:M -> R is a coboundary for the flow generated by X, i.e. when there…
