A convexity criterion for unique ergodicity of interval exchange transformations (Q2299253)

For \(d \in \mathbb{Z}^+\), \(a(s)=(s,s^2,\dots,s^d)\) can be viewed as a curve in \(\mathbb{R}_+^d\) if \(s > 0\). \textit{Y. Minsky} and \textit{B. Weiss} [Ann. Sci. Éc. Norm. Supér. (4) 47, No. 2, 245--284 (2014; Zbl 1346.37039)] proved for Lebesgue almost all \(s > 0\) that the interval exchange transformation associated to \((\sigma, a(s))\) is uniquely ergodic for the permutation \(\sigma=(d,\dots,1)\). The present author extends this result to arbitrary permutations through a convexity criterion leading to unique ergodicity for points of a curve in the space of interval exchange transformations.
