We show that a certain type of quasi finite, conservative, ergodic , measure preserving transformation always has a maximal zero entropy factor, generated by predictable sets. We also construct a conservative, ergodic , measure preserving transformation which is not quasi finite; and consider distribution asymptotics of information showing that e.g. for Boole’s transformation, information is as...

We consider the problem of characterizing, for certain natural number m, the local C-non-integrability near elliptic fixed points of smooth planar measure preserving maps. Our criterion relates this non-integrability with the existence of some Lie Symmetries associated to the maps, together with the study of the finiteness of its periodic points. One of the steps in the proof uses the regularit...

Global aspects of the motion of passive scalars in time-dependent incompressible fluid flows are well described by volume-preserving (Liouvillian) three-dimensional maps. In this paper the possible invariant structures in Liouvillian maps and the two most interesting nearly-integrable cases are investigated. In addition, the fundamental role of invariant lines in organizing the dynamics of this...
