Using a rigidity property of the foliations of $S^2 \times [0, 1]$ that are defined by a non-vanishing closed one-form, we give a rather simple proof of a theorem due J. Cerf, going back to 1968, that the group of direct diffeomorphisms of…

We prove quantitative statistical stability results for a large class of small $C^{0}$ perturbations of circle diffeomorphisms with irrational rotation numbers. We show that if the rotation number is Diophantine the invariant measure varies…

Given any Liouville number $\alpha$, it is shown that various subspaces are $C^\infty$-dense in the space of the orientation preserving $C^\infty$ diffeomorphisms of the circle with rotation number $\alpha$.

We study close-to-constants quasiperiodic cocycles in $\mathbb{T} ^{d} \times G$, where $d \in \mathbb{N} ^{*} $ and $G$ is a compact Lie group, under the assumption that the rotation in the basis satisfies a Diophantine condition. We prove…

We investigate the differentiability of the conjugacy in a nonautonomous version of the Hartman--Grobman Theorem for systems with finite delay, where the linear part satisfies a $\mu$-dichotomy. Under suitable conditions on the nonlinear…

Given $\alpha$ in some set $\Sigma$ of total (Haar) measure in ${\bf T}={\bf R}/{\bf Z}$, and $A\in C^{\infty}({\bf T},SL(2,{\bf R}))$ which is homotopic to the identity, we prove that if the fibered rotation number of the skew-product…

We prove that any two $C^4$ critical circle maps with the same irrational rotation number and the same odd criticality are conjugate to each other by a $C^1$ circle diffeomorphism. The conjugacy is $C^{1+\alpha}$ for Lebesgue almost every…

Smale proved that the orientation-preserving diffeomorphism group of S^2 has a continuous strong deformation retraction to SO(3). In this paper, we construct such a strong deformation retraction which is diffeologically smooth.

We study an equation lying `mid-way' between the periodic Hunter-Saxton and Camassa-Holm equations, and which describes evolution of rotators in liquid crystals with external magnetic field and self-interaction. We prove that it is an Euler…

Let $\Theta = (\theta_1,\theta_2,\theta_3)\in \mathbb{R}^3$. Suppose that $1,\theta_1,\theta_2,\theta_3$ are linearly independent over $\mathbb{Z}$. For Diophantine exponents $$ \alpha(\Theta) = \sup \{\gamma >0:\,\,\, \limsup_{t\to…

We consider deformations of a group of circle diffeomorphisms with H\"older continuous derivatives in the framework of quasiconformal Teichm\"uller theory and show certain rigidity under conjugation by symmetric homeomorphisms of the…

This paper is a step towards the complete topological classification of {\Omega}-stable diffeomorphisms on an orientable closed surface, aiming to give necessary and sufficient conditions for two such diffeomorphisms to be topologically…

We study groups of circle diffeomorphisms whose action on the cylinder $\mathcal C=\mathbb S^1\times \mathbb S^1\setminus \Delta$ preserves a volume form. We first show that such a group is topologically conjugate to a subgroup of…

Given a result of Herman, we provide a new elementary proof of the fact that the connected component of the group of compactly supported diffeomorphisms is perfect and hence simple. Moreover, we show that every diffeomorphism $g$, which is…

Classical results by Poincar\'e and Denjoy show that two orientation-preserving $C^2$ diffeomorphisms of the circle are topologically conjugate if and only if they have the same rotation number. We show that there is no possibility of…

We study order-preserving C^1-circle diffeomorphisms driven by irrational rotations with a Diophantine rotation number. We show that there is a non-empty open set of one-parameter families of such diffeomorphisms where the ergodic measures…

We prove that a $C^2$ diffeomorphism $f$ of a compact manifold $M$ satisfies Axiom A and the strong transversality condition if and only if it is H\"{o}lder stable, that is, any $C^1$ diffeomorphism $g$ of $M$ sufficiently $C^1$ close to…

In this paper, we focus on the rigidity of $C^{2+}$-smooth codimension-one stable foliations of Anosov diffeomorphisms. Specifically, we show that if the regularity of these foliations is slightly bigger than $2$, then they will have the…

We show that whenever a closed symplectic manifold admits a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism with finitely many simple periodic orbits, the manifold has a spherical homology class of degree two with positive symplectic area and positive integral…

We establish a Galois-theoretic trichotomy governing Diophantine stability for genus $0$ curves. We use it to prove that the curve associated to the Hilbert symbol is Diophantine stable with probability $1$. Our asymptotic formula for the…
