On the Renormalizations of Circle Homeomorphisms with Several Break Points

Let f be an orientation preserving homeomorphism on the circle with several break points, that is, its derivative Df has jump discontinuities at these points. We study Rauzy-Veech renormalizations of piecewise smooth circle homeomorphisms by considering such maps as generalized interval exchange maps of genus one. Suppose that Df is absolutely continuous on each interval of continuity and DlnDf∈Lp\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$D\ln {Df}\in {\mathbb {L}}_{p}$$\end{document} for some p>1\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$p>1$$\end{document}.

In particular, if the product of the sizes of breaks of f is trivial, then the renormalizations are approximated by piecewise affine interval exchange maps.
