This article is devoted to studying which conditions imply that a topological dynamical system is mean sensitive and which do not. Among other things, we show that every uniquely ergodic, mixing system with positive entropy is mean sensitive. On the other hand, we provide an example of a transitive system which is cofinitely sensitive or Devaney chaotic with positive entropy but fails to be mean sensitive. As applications of our theory and examples, we negatively answer an open question regarding equicontinuity/sensitivity dichotomies raised by Tu, we introduce and present results of locally mean equicontinuous systems and we show that mean sensitivity of the induced hyperspace does not imply that of the phase space.

Answering an open question affirmatively it is shown that every ergodic invariant measure of a mean equicontinuous (i.e. mean-L-stable) system has discrete spectrum. Dichotomy results related to mean equicontinuity and mean sensitivity are obtained when a dynamical system is transitive or minimal. Localizing the notion of mean equicontinuity, notions of almost mean equicontinuity and almost Banach mean equicontinuity are introduced. It turns out that a system with the former property may have positive entropy and meanwhile a system with the latter property must have zero entropy.

Abstract Let $(X,T)$ be a topological dynamical system. Given a continuous vector-valued function $F \in C(X, \mathbb {R}^{d})$ called a potential, we define its rotation set $R(F)$ as the set of integrals of F with respect to all T-invariant probability measures, which is a convex body of $\mathbb {R}^{d}$ . In this paper we study the geometry of rotation sets. We prove that if T is a non-uniquely ergodic topological dynamical system with a dense set of periodic measures, then the map $R(\cdot )$ is open with respect to the uniform topologies. As a consequence, we obtain that the rotation set of a generic potential is strictly convex and has $C^{1}$ boundary. Furthermore, we prove that the map $R(\cdot )$ is surjective, extending a result of Kucherenko and Wolf.

Abstract The uncertainty area δ (p, q): - [∫ W(p, q)2 dp dq] - 1 is proposed in place of δ p • δ q, and it is shown that each pure quantum state is a minimum uncertainty state in this sense: δ (p, q) = 2 π ħ. For mixed states, on the other hand, δ(p, q) > 2π ħ. In a phase space of 2F(=6N) dimensions, S: = k B • log[δF (p,q)/(2 π ħ)F] whit δF (p,q):= [∫ W(p, q)2 dF p dF q]-1 is considered as an alternative to von Neumann`s entropy S̃:= kB • trc [ρ̂ log (ρ̂-1)].

This article aimed to analyze the stereotypes attributed to "egalitarian men", understood here as men who support gender equality in relation to domestic and family responsibilities as well as inclusion in the workforce. To do so, two studies were carried out. The first study investigated the attribution of stereotypes to egalitarian men through a single open question. A total of 250 university students participated in this study, of which 51.1% were male, and their average age was 21.5 years (SD = 4.39). The second study analyzed the attribution of stereotypes to egalitarian or traditional men and women in a work context considered masculine. Participants included 221 university students with a mean age of 21.9 years (SD = 4.19), the majority (54.3%) being male. Taken together, the results of the two studies indicate that the egalitarian man is perceived as fragile and possibly homosexual. On the other hand, he is also seen as being more competent than traditional men.

In this chapter we introduce an important concept concerning the study of both discrete and continuous dynamical systems, the concept of phase space or “state space”. It is an abstract mathematical construction with important applications in statistical mechanics, to represent the time evolution of a dynamical system in geometric shape. This space has as many dimensions as the number of variables needed to define the instantaneous state of the system. For instance, the state of a material point moving on a straight line is defined by its position and velocity at each instant, so that the phase space for this system is a plane in which one axis is the position and the other one the velocity. In this case, the phase space is also called “phase plane”. It is later applied in many chapters of the book.

The latest book on metamorphism, Dr. V. Grubenmann's Kristallinen Schiefer, still leaves it an open question what a metamorphic rock is. Generally speaking there is no doubt about the matter; every geologist has a more or less precise idea of what he means by the term, but no one has yet been able to propound a definition which is perfectly satisfactory, and which will enable one to distinguish a metamorphic rock from all other kinds and at the same time convey an expression of the characteristic peculiarities inherent in such a rock. The need of a definition is very necessary. The want of it has led Dr. Grubenmann to include some rocks among the crystalline schists which one ordinarily would not refer to that class, and on the other hand there are some rocks frequently referred to that class which are not included. In the first case, the masses of emery form the twelfth group of Dr. Grubenmann's classification, yet the analysis of the Naxos emery, which reveals traces of boric oxide (1.15 per cent. in one case) would seem to place these lenses among the ore-bodies deposited by pneumatolitic action.

AbstractThe research now under way with the real-time 275 km Parkes-Tidbinbila interferometer is used as a guide to the initial science to be undertaken with the 319 km Australia Telescope (AT) Long Baseline Array. On the other hand, it is risky to guess at the new science likely to be attempted with the 6 km AT Compact Array at Culgoora; instead the potential that has been built into this array is discussed and a selection of basic questions in astrophysics is posed as a guide to significant science that might yield to new observers on a fresh instrument under the southern skies. In conclusion two questions are probed: Can discoveries be made by users of national facilities? Does the AT cross into new domains in the phase space of observations?

Abstract In this paper we prove that the limit set of any Weil–Petersson geodesic ray with uniquely ergodic ending lamination is a single point in the Thurston compactification of Teichmüller space. On the other hand, we construct examples of Weil–Petersson geodesics with minimal non-uniquely ergodic ending laminations and limit set a circle in the Thurston compactification.

AbstractWe consider the problem of when does a positive entropy topological system have a continuous factor with strictly smaller entropy. In many cases it is shown that such small entropy factors exist. On the other hand, classes of examples are given where differentiable factors must preserve some of the original entropy.
