In this project, we develop a new connection between the dynamics of quadratic polynomials on the complex plane and the dynamics of homeomorphisms of surfaces. In particular, given a quadratic polynomial, we investigate whether one can…
We quantify the generation of free subgroups of surface mapping class groups by pseudo-Anosov mapping classes in terms of their translation distance and the distance between their axes. Our methods make reference to \teichmuller space only.
We study 9 and 10-dimensional Anosov Lie algebras, by using the properties of very special algebraic numbers. We classify k-step complex Anosov Lie algebras for $k>2$ and in the two step case, we give an example in each possible type, or we…
The goal of this paper is to study ergodic and rigidity properties of smooth actions of the discrete Heisenberg group $\H$. We establish the decomposition of the tangent space of any $C^\infty$ compact Riemannian manifold $M$ for Lyapunov…
This note gives a brief survey of the minimum dilatation problem for pseudo-Anosov mapping classes, and the first explicit train track description of an infinite family of pseudo-Anosov mapping classes with orientable stable foliations and…
We present two examples of reductions from the evolution equations describing discrete Schlesinger transformations of Fuchsian systems to difference Painlev\'e equations: difference Painlev\'e equation d-$P\left({A}_{2}^{(1)*}\right)$ with…
In this paper, we show how to relate $n$-dimensional cubes on which ABS equations hold to the symmetry groups of discrete Painlev\'e equations. We here focus on the reduction from the 4-dimensional cube to the $q$-discrete third Painlev\'e…
The aim of this note is to give the simplest possible proof that Mapping Class Groups of closed hyperbolic surfaces are acylindrically hyperbolic, and more specifically that their curve graphs are hyperbolic and that pseudo-Anosovs act on…
Let $\{F_n, n\ge 8\}$ be a family of diffeomorphisms on real rational surfaces that are birationally equivalent to birational maps on $\mathbf{P}^2(\mathbb{R})$. In this article, we investigate the mapping classes of the diffeomorphisms…
Chaotic dynamics is an important source for generating pseudorandom binary sequences (PRNS). Much efforts have been devoted to obtaining period distribution of the generalized discrete Arnold's Cat map in various domains using all kinds of…
We introduce a generalization of the notion of Anosov representations by restricting to invariant closed geodesic subflows. Examples of such representations include many non-discrete representations with good geometric properties, such as…
Resonances, isolated eigenvalues of a transfer operator acting on suitably chosen Banach spaces, play a fundamental role in understanding the statistical properties of chaotic dynamical systems. In this paper, we introduce a pseudospectral…
The Hamiltonian dynamics of classical planar Heisenberg model is numerically investigated in two and three dimensions. By considering the dynamics as a geodesic flow on a suitable Riemannian manifold, it is possible to analytically estimate…
The inherent self-consistency properties of the six-point multi-ratio equation allow it to be considered on a domain associated with a T-shaped Coxeter-Dynkin diagram. This extends the KP lattice, which has A_N symmetry, and incorporates…
In this paper, we consider nonlocal, nonlinear partial differential equations to model anisotropic dynamics of complex root sets of random polynomials under differentiation. These equations aim to generalise the recent PDE obtained by…
A family of new algebraic Poisson varieties will be constructed, generalising the complex character varieties of Riemann surfaces. Then the well-known (Poisson) mapping class group actions on the character varieties will be generalised.
We study the pseudoduality transformations in two dimensional N = (2, 2) sigma models on K\"ahler manifolds. We show that structures on the target space can be transformed into the pseudodual manifolds by means of (anti)holomorphic…
This survey is based on a series of lectures that we gave at MSRI in Spring 2015 and on a series of papers, mostly written jointly with Joan Porti. Our goal here is to: 1. Describe a class of discrete subgroups $\Gamma<G$ of higher rank…
We introduce and study \emph{simple Anosov representations} of closed hyperbolic surface groups, analogous to Minsky's \emph{primitive stable representations} of free groups. We prove that the set of simple Anosov representations into…
By a theorem of Thurston, in the subgroup of the mapping class group generated by Dehn twists around two curves that fill, every element not conjugate to a power of one of the twist is pseudo-Anosov. We prove an analogue of this theorem for…
