We consider linear trajectories on a 1-parameter family of genus-2 homothety surfaces. The closure of a trajectory on each of these surfaces always has Hausdorff dimension 1, and contains either a closed loop or a lamination with Cantor cross-section. Trajectories have cutting sequences that are either eventually periodic or eventually Sturmian. Although no two of these surfaces are affinely equivalent, their linear trajectories can be related directly to those on the square torus, and thence to each other, by means of explicit functions. We also briefly examine two related families of surfaces and show that the above behaviors can be mixed; for instance, the closure of a linear trajectory can contain both a closed loop and a lamination.","PeriodicalId":51087,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Modern Dynamics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2018-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42477648","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For any quasi-pmp graph, the theorem gives an increasing sequence of Borel subgraphs with finite connected components along which the averages of $L^1$ functions converge to their expectations. Equivalently, it states that any (not necessarily pmp) locally countable Borel graph on a standard probability space contains an ergodic hyperfinite subgraph. \u0000The pmp version of this theorem was first proven by R. Tucker-Drob using probabilistic methods. Our proof is different: it is descriptive set theoretic and applies more generally to quasi-pmp graphs. Among other things, it involves introducing a graph invariant, a method of producing finite equivalence subrelations with large domain, and a simple method of exploiting nonamenability of a measured graph. The non-pmp setting additionally requires a new gadget for analyzing the interplay between the underlying cocycle and the graph.","PeriodicalId":51087,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Modern Dynamics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2018-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46718669","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
