Asymptotic Link Invariants for Ergodic Vector Fields
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the asymptotics of a family of link invariants on the orbits of a smooth volume-preserving ergodic vector field on a compact domain of the 3-space. These invariants, called linear saddle invariants, include many concordance invariants and generate an infinite-dimensional vector space of link invariants. In contrast, the vector space of asymptotic linear saddle invariants is 1-dimensional, generated by the asymptotic signature. We also relate the asymptotic slice genus to the asymptotic signature.

Asymptotic Vassiliev Invariants for Vector Fields
We analyse the asymptotical growth of Vassiliev invariants on non-periodic flow lines of ergodic vector fields on domains of R. More precisely, we show that the asymptotics of Vassiliev invariants is completely determined by the helicity of the vector field. As an application, we determine the asymptotic Alexander and Jones polynomials and give a formula for the asymptotic Kontsevich integral.
متن کاملGeometry of Higher Helicities
We revisit an interpretation of higher-dimensional helicities and Hopf–Novikov invariants from the point of view of the Brownian ergodic theorem. We also survey various results related to Arnold’s theorem on the asymptotic Hopf invariant on three-dimensional manifolds and recent work on linking of a vector field with a foliation, the asymptotic crossing number, short path systems, and relations...
متن کاملLinking Numbers of Measured Foliations
We generalise the average asymptotic linking number of a pair of divergence-free vector fields on homology threespheres [1, 2, 14] by considering the linking of a divergence-free vector field on a manifold of arbitrary dimension with a codimension two foliation endowed with an invariant transverse measure. We prove that the average asymptotic linking number is given by an integral of Hopf type....
متن کاملNon-linear ergodic theorems in complete non-positive curvature metric spaces
Hadamard (or complete $CAT(0)$) spaces are complete, non-positive curvature, metric spaces. Here, we prove a nonlinear ergodic theorem for continuous non-expansive semigroup in these spaces as well as a strong convergence theorem for the commutative case. Our results extend the standard non-linear ergodic theorems for non-expansive maps on real Hilbert spaces, to non-expansive maps on Ha...
متن کاملErgodic and Mixing Properties of the Boussinesq Equations with a Degenerate Random Forcing
We establish the existence, uniqueness and attraction properties of an ergodic invariant measure for the Boussinesq Equations in the presence of a degenerate stochastic forcing acting only in the temperature equation and only at the largest spatial scales. The central challenge is to establish time asymptotic smoothing properties of the Markovian dynamics corresponding to this system. Towards t...
