Identifying invariant ergodic subsets and barriers to mixing by cutting and shuffling: Study in a birotated hemisphere

Mixing by cutting and shuffling can be mathematically described by the dynamics of piecewise isometrics (PWIs), higher dimensional analogs of one-dimensional interval exchange transformations. In a two-dimensional domain under a PWI, the exceptional set, (E) over bar, which is created by the accumulation of cutting lines (the union of all iterates of cutting lines and all points that pass arbitrarily close to a cutting line), defines where mixing is possible but not guaranteed. There is structure within (E) over bar that directly influences the mixing potential of the PWI. Here we provide computational and analytical formalisms for examining this structure by way of measuring the density and connectivity of epsilon-fattened cutting lines that form an approximation of (E) over bar. For the example of a PWI on a hemispherical shell studied here, this approach reveals the subtle mixing behaviors and barriers to mixing formed by invariant ergodic subsets (confined orbits) within the fractal structure of the exceptional set. Some PWIs on the shell have provably nonergodic exceptional sets, which prevent mixing, while others have potentially ergodic exceptional sets where mixing is possible since ergodic exceptional sets have uniform cutting line density. For these latter exceptional sets, we show the connectivity of orbits in the PWI map through direct examination of orbit position and shape and through a two-dimensional return plot to explain the necessity of orbit connectivity for mixing.
