  • the Automorphism Group and limit set of a bounded domain ii the convex case
    arXiv: Complex Variables, 2017
    Co-Authors: Andrew Zimmer
    Abstract:

    For convex domains with $C^{1,\epsilon}$ boundary we give a precise description of the Automorphism Group: if an orbit of the Automorphism Group accumulates on at least two different closed complex faces of the boundary, then the Automorphism Group has finitely many components and the connected component of the identity is the almost direct product of a compact Group and a non-compact connected simple Lie Group with real rank one and finite center. In this case, we also show the limit set is homeomorphic to a sphere and prove a gap theorem: either the domain is biholomorphic to the unit ball (and the limit set is the entire boundary) or the limit set has co-dimension at least two in the boundary.

  • characterizing domains by the limit set of their Automorphism Group
    Advances in Mathematics, 2017
    Co-Authors: Andrew Zimmer
    Abstract:

    Abstract In this paper we study the Automorphism Group of smoothly bounded convex domains. We show that such a domain is biholomorphic to a “polynomial ellipsoid” (that is, a domain defined by a weighted homogeneous balanced polynomial) if and only if the limit set of the Automorphism Group intersects at least two closed complex faces of the set. The proof relies on a detailed study of the geometry of the Kobayashi metric and ideas from the theory of non-positively curved metric spaces. We also obtain a number of other results including the Greene–Krantz conjecture in the case of uniform non-tangential convergence, new results about continuous extensions (of biholomorphisms and complex geodesics), and a new Wolff–Denjoy theorem.

  • characterizing the unit ball by its projective Automorphism Group
    arXiv: Differential Geometry, 2015
    Co-Authors: Andrew Zimmer
    Abstract:

    In this paper we study the projective Automorphism Group of domains in real, complex, and quaternionic projective space and present two new characterizations of the unit ball in terms of the size of the Automorphism Group and the regularity of the boundary.

  • Characterizing polynomial domains by their Automorphism Group
    arXiv: Complex Variables, 2015
    Co-Authors: Andrew Zimmer
    Abstract:

    In this paper we study the Automorphism Group of bounded convex domains with smooth boundary. In particular, we show that such a domain is biholomorphic to a weighted homogeneous polynomial domain if and only if the limit set of the Automorphism Group intersects at least two closed complex faces of the set. The proof combines rescaling arguments with a detailed study of the geometry of the Kobayashi metric. In particular a number of ideas from the theory of non-positively curved metric spaces are used. A key step in the argument is establishing the Greene-Krantz conjecture in the case of uniform non-tangential convergence. We also obtain new results about the behavior of holomorphic maps between convex domains, in particular new results about continuous extensions (of bi-holomorphisms and complex geodesics) and a new Denjoy-Wolff theorem.

  • The stabilized Automorphism Group of a subshift
    arXiv: Dynamical Systems, 2020
    Co-Authors: Yair Hartman, Bryna Kra, Scott Schmieding
    Abstract:

    For a mixing shift of finite type, the associated Automorphism Group has a rich algebraic structure, and yet we have few criteria to distinguish when two such Groups are isomorphic. We introduce a stabilization of the Automorphism Group, study its algebraic properties, and use them to distinguish many of the stabilized Automorphism Groups. We also show that for a full shift, the subGroup of the stabilized Automorphism Group generated by elements of finite order is simple, and that the stabilized Automorphism Group is an extension of a free abelian Group of finite rank by this simple Group.

  • distortion and the Automorphism Group of a shift
    Journal of Modern Dynamics, 2018
    Co-Authors: Van Cyr, Bryna Kra, John Franks, Samuel Petite
    Abstract:

    The set of Automorphisms of a one-dimensional subshift \begin{document} $(X, σ)$ \end{document} forms a countable, but often very complicated, Group. For zero entropy shifts, it has recently been shown that the Automorphism Group is more tame. We provide the first examples of countable Groups that cannot embed into the Automorphism Group of any zero entropy subshift. In particular, we show that the Baumslag-Solitar Groups \begin{document} ${\rm BS}(1,n)$ \end{document} and all other Groups that contain exponentially distorted elements cannot embed into \begin{document} ${\rm Aut}(X)$ \end{document} when \begin{document} $h_{{\rm top}}(X) = 0$ \end{document} . We further show that distortion in nilpotent Groups gives a nontrivial obstruction to embedding such a Group in any low complexity shift.

  • distortion and the Automorphism Group of a shift
    arXiv: Dynamical Systems, 2016
    Co-Authors: Van Cyr, Bryna Kra, John Franks, Samuel Petite
    Abstract:

    The set of Automorphisms of a one-dimensional \shift $(X, \sigma)$ forms a countable, but often very complicated, Group. For zero entropy shifts, it has recently been shown that the Automorphism Group is more tame. We provide the first examples of countable Groups that cannot embed into the Automorphism Group of any zero entropy \shiftno. In particular, we show that the Baumslag-Solitar Groups ${\rm BS}(1,n)$ and all other Groups that contain exponentially distorted elements cannot embed into ${\rm Aut}(X)$ when $h_{\rm top}(X)=0$. We further show that distortion in nilpotent Groups gives a nontrivial obstruction to embedding such a Group in any low complexity shift.

  • the Automorphism Group of a minimal shift of stretched exponential growth
    Journal of Modern Dynamics, 2016
    Co-Authors: Van Cyr, Bryna Kra
    Abstract:

    The Group of Automorphisms of a symbolic dynamical system is countable, but often very large. For example, for a mixing subshift of finite type, the Automorphism Group contains isomorphic copies of the free Group on two generators and the direct sum of countably many copies of $\mathbb{Z}$. In contrast, the Group of Automorphisms of a symbolic system of zero entropy seems to be highly constrained. Our main result is that the Automorphism Group of any minimal subshift of stretched exponential growth with exponent $<1/2$, is amenable (as a countable discrete Group). For shifts of polynomial growth, we further show that any finitely generated, torsion free subGroup of Aut(X) is virtually nilpotent.

  • The Automorphism Group of a shift of linear growth: beyond transitivity
    arXiv: Dynamical Systems, 2014
    Co-Authors: Van Cyr, Bryna Kra
    Abstract:

    For a finite alphabet $\mathcal{A}$ and shift $X\subseteq\mathcal{A}^{\mathbb{Z}}$ whose factor complexity function grows at most linearly, we study the algebraic properties of the Automorphism Group ${\rm Aut}(X)$. For such systems, we show that every finitely generated subGroup of ${\rm Aut}(X)$ is virtually ${\mathbb Z}^d$, in contrast to the behavior when the complexity function grows more quickly. With additional dynamical assumptions we show more: if $X$ is transitive, then ${\rm Aut}(X)$ is virtually $\mathbb Z$; if $X$ has dense aperiodic points, then ${\rm Aut}(X)$ is virtually ${\mathbb Z}^d$. We also classify all finite Groups that arise as the Automorphism Group of a shift.
