A linear code for the sawtooth and cat maps (Q1104617)

The sawtooth maps are a one-parameter set of piecewise linear area preserving maps on the torus. For positive integer values of the parameter K they are automorphisms of the torus, known as the cat maps. We present a symbolic dynamics for these maps in which the symbols are integers. This code is related to a practical problem of the stabilisation of a system which is perturbed by impulses. The code is linear in the sense that an orbit and its code are linearly related, so it is not difficult to obtain a good approximation to one from the other in practice. A stationary stochastic process for generating the code is given explicitly. The theory uses Green function methods, which are also used to study ordered periodic orbits and cantori. The problems of using a similar code for arbitrary area preserving twist maps on the torus are bt \({\mathcal D}({\mathcal O})\)-modules is equivalent with the category of left \({\mathcal D}(A)\)-modules. - A \({\mathcal D}(A)\)-module N of finite type is called holonomic if it is of finite length over \({\mathcal D}(A)\). A holonomic \({\mathcal D}(A)\)-module N is said to have regular singularities if it possesses a good filtration such that Ann(gr(N)) is a radical ideal. The main result of the paper states that under the Morita equivalence holonomic \({\mathcal D}\)-modules (respectively holonomic \({\mathcal D}\)-modules with regular singularities) correspond with holonomic \({\mathcal D}(A)\)- modules (respectively holonomic \({\mathcal D}(A)\)-modules with regular singularities). - As a byproduct of the whole analysis one obtains a criterion which decides if a holonomic \({\mathcal D}(A)\)-module has regular singularities; even in the case \(A={\mathcal O}\) this result seems to be new. In a forthcoming paper the author generalizes the above results to \({\mathcal D}(A)\)-modules with irregular singularities.
