``INVARIANT DISTRIBUTIONS AND RENORMALIZATION IN PARABOLIC DYNAMICS.''
=============================================
In this lecture we describe our joint work with L. Flaminio on how to use
the theory of unitary representations to construct solutions of the cohomological
equation for horocycle flows and how to apply that result to obtain precise bounds
on the speed of convergence of ergodic averages. The key idea (related towork on
decay of correlations for Anosov flows by Blank-Keller-Liverani,
Liverani-Gouezel, Baladi-Tsuji, ... ) is to study the action of a `renormalization'
dynamics, in this case the geodesic flow, on the space of invariant distributions for the
horocycle flow. |
