A renormalization approach has been used by Eckmann, Koch and Wittwer in a computer-assisted proof of existence of a conservative renormalization fixed point. Furthermore, it has been shown by Gaidashev, Johnson and Martens that infinitely renormalizable maps in a neighborhood of this fixed point admit invariant Cantor sets with vanishing Lyapunov exponents on which dynamics for any two maps is smoothly conjugate. This rigidity is a consequence of an interplay between the decay of geometry and the convergence rate of renormalization towards the fixed point. In this paper we prove a result which is crucial for a demonstration of rigidity: that an upper bound on this convergence rate of renormalizations of infinitely renormalizable maps is sufficiently small.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-12-16T09:49:34.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "37E20", "47A75" ], "keywords": [ "area-preserving maps", "renormalization", "spectral properties", "feigenbaum-coullet-tresser period doubling cascade", "point admit invariant cantor sets" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1412.5900G" } } }
