Chapter One Introduction We will consider infinite matrices indexed by or associated to a dynamical system in the sense that satisfies where , and is an ergodic measure-preserving transformation of . Typical settings considered here are frequency shift frequency shift (skewshift) where hyperbolic Thus where the are functions on . We will usually assume that is self-adjoint, although many parts of our analysis are independent of this fact. Define where coordinate restriction to and the associated Green’s functions are (if is an invertible matrix). One of our concerns will be to obtain a ‘good bound’ on , except for in a “small” exceptional set. A typical statement would be the following: and for for all outside a set of measure . Here are some constants. The exceptional set in does depend on , of course. Such estimates are of importance in the following problems, for instance. 2 CHAPTER 1 1.
