The proof relies on relating the top exponent to limits of exponents along families of affine invariant submanifolds of genus tending to infinity. Applications include an observation about a conjecture of Kontsevich and Zorich, a discrepancy estimate, and a formula for the lower local dimension of spectral measures.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-09-11T00:07:25.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "37A25", "37E05", "30F60", "37D25" ], "keywords": [ "interval exchange transformations", "twisted cocycle", "nondegeneracy", "lower local dimension", "natural invariant measures" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
