Iakov Grigorevich Sinai – författare

Based on lectures in Erevan, this exposition of ergodic theory contains a rich collection of examples well chosen to introduce the reader to the main themes of the subject. Topics discussed include existence of invariant measures, geodesic flows on Riemannian manifolds, ergodic theory of an ideal gas, and entropy of dynamical systems.

This book concerns areas of ergodic theory that are now being intensively developed. The topics include entropy theory (with emphasis on dynamical systems with multi-dimensional time), elements of the renormalization group method in the theory of dynamical systems, splitting of separatrices, and some problems related to the theory of hyperbolic dynamical systems. Originally published in 1993. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
