Matching for a family of infinite measure continued fraction transformations (Q2196713)

One can begin with authors' abstract: ``As a natural counterpart to Nakada's \(\alpha\)-continued fraction maps, we study a one-parameter family of continued fraction transformations with an indifferent fixed point. We prove that matching holds for Lebesgue almost every parameter in this family and that the exceptional set has Hausdorff dimension 1. Due to this matching property, we can construct a planar version of the natural extension for a large part of the parameter space. We use this to obtain an explicit expression for the density of the unique infinite \(\sigma\)-finite absolutely continuous invariant measure and to compute the Krengel entropy, return sequence and wandering rate of the corresponding maps.'' In the present paper, the main attention is given to a certain family of maps \(\{T_\alpha\}_{\alpha\in (0,1)}\) calling flipped \(\alpha\)-continued fraction maps. In this research, among other results can be noted that the set of parameters \(\alpha\in (0,1)\) for which the transformation \(T_\alpha\) does not have matching is a Lebesgue null set of full Hausdorff dimension and a fact that the map \(T_\alpha\) is an AFN-map for each \(\alpha\in (0,1)\). The notion of the matching property of a map is recalled and some known results in this topic are described. In addition, the notions of semi-regular continued fraction expansions and AFN-maps are considered. The attention is also given to the natural extensions for non-invertible dynamical systems, especially for continued fraction transformations. Several dynamical quantities associated to the systems \(T_\alpha\) are calculated. In other words, the Krengel entropy, return sequence and wandering rate of \(T_\alpha\) for a large part of the parameter space \((0, 1)\) are computed. It is noted that that the Krengel entropy, return sequence, and wandering rate obtained in this paper, do not display any dependence on \(\alpha\). ``These quantities give isomorphism invariants for dynamical systems with infinite invariant measures''.
