We consider two transitive $3$-dimensional Anosov flows which do not preserve volume and which are continuously conjugate to each other. Then, disregarding certain exceptional cases, such as flows with $C^1$ regular stable or unstable…

In this paper, we prove an existence and uniqueness theorem for orientation-reversing harmonic diffeomorphisms from $\mathbb{H}_*^n$ to $\mathbb{R}_*^n$ with rotational symmetry, which is a generalization of the corresponding result for…

We study regularity of a conjugacy between a hyperbolic or partially hyperbolic toral automorphism $L$ and a $C^\infty$ diffeomorphism $f$ of the torus. For a very weakly irreducible hyperbolic automorphism $L$ we show that any $C^1$…

We prove that every $C^\infty$-smooth, area preserving diffeomorphism of the closed 2-disk having not more than one periodic point is the uniform limit of periodic $C^\infty$-smooth diffeomorphisms. In particular every smooth irrational…

Let $\Theta=(\theta_{j,k})_{3\times 3}$ be a non-degenerate real skew-symmetric $3\times 3$ matrix, where $\theta_{j,k}\in [0,1).$ For any $\varepsilon>0$, we prove that there exists $\delta>0$ satisfying the following: if $v_1,v_2,v_3$ are…

We introduce a class of volume-contracting surface diffeomorphisms whose dynamics is intermediate between one-dimensional dynamics and general surface dynamics. For that type of systems one can associate to the dynamics a reduced…

To construct an $A_{\infty}$-form for a loop space in the category of diffeological spaces, we have two minor problems. Firstly, the concatenation of paths in the category of diffeological spaces needs a small technical trick (see…

In this work we completely classify $C^\infty$ conjugacy for conservative partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms homotopic to a linear Anosov automorphism on the 3-torus by its center foliation behavior. We prove that the uniform version of…

We investigate the $C^0$-topology of the group of symplectic diffeomorphisms of positive symplectic rational surfaces. For all but a few exceptions, we prove that the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms forms a connected component in the…

Let $D$ be an endomorphism on $\mathbb{Z}_m^n$ so that \[D(x_1, x_2, ..., x_n)=(x_1+x_2 \; \text{mod} \; m, x_2+x_3 \; \text{mod} \; m, ..., x_n+x_1 \; \text{mod} \; m).\] We call the sequence…

In this paper we consider $C^\infty $-generic families of area-preserving diffeomorphisms of the torus homotopic to the identity and their rotation sets. Let $f_t:\rm{T^2\rightarrow T^2}$ be such a family, $\widetilde{f}_t:\rm…

The classical criterion for a circle diffeomorphism to be topologically conjugate to an irrational rigid rotation was given by A. Denjoy. In 1985, one of us (Sullivan) gave a new criterion. There is an example satisfying Denjoy's bounded…

We consider the distribution of the orbits of the number 1 under the $\beta$-transformations $T_\beta$ as $\beta$ varies. Mainly, the size of the set of $\beta>1$ for which a given point can be well approximated by the orbit of 1 is…

Let $T= S^1\times D^2$ be the solid torus, $\mathcal{F}$ the Morse-Bott foliation on $T$ into $2$-tori parallel to the boundary and one singular circle $S^1\times 0$, which is the central circle of the torus $T$, and…

We show that if a diffeomorphism of a symplectic manifold $(M^{2n},\omega)$ preserves the form $\omega^{k}$ for $0 < k < n$ and is connected to identity through such diffeomorphisms then it is indeed a symplectomorphism.

We show that, for every compact n-dimensional manifold, n\geq 1, there is a residual subset of Diff^1(M) of diffeomorphisms for which the homoclinic class of any periodic saddle of f verifies one of the following two possibilities: Either…
