Invariant measures for certain linear fractional transformations mod 1

From MaRDI portal





The authors study a certain family of maps \(G_{k,n}\) of the unit interval of the form \(T_{k,n}= \{A(x)\}\), where \[ A(x)= {\alpha_kx-n\alpha_k+ \alpha_k \over(n-\alpha_k-1) x-n+1} \] for appropriately chosen \(\alpha_k\), and with \(\{\;\}\) denoting the fractional part of a real number. These transformations are analogous to the backward continued fraction maps \(T_k(x)= \{{1\over u_k(1-x)}\}\) with \(u_k=4\cos^2 {\pi\over k+2}\) studied by the authors in [Ergodic Theory Dyn. Syst. 16, 1241-1274 (1996; Zbl 0884.58040)]. The authors show that \(T_{k,n}\) preserves a \(\sigma\)-finite measure absolutely continuous with respect to Lebesgue measure, and they give an explicit formula for this invariant measure. Further, they show that \(T_{k,n}\) is ergodic with respect to Lebesgue measure.
