We prove the entropy conjecture of M. Barge from 1989: for every $r\in [0,\infty]$ there exists a pseudo-arc homeomorphism $h$, whose topological entropy is $r$. Until now all pseudo-arc homeomorphisms with known entropy have had entropy…

We study cocycles of homeomorphisms of $\T$ in the isotopy class of the identity over shift spaces, using as a tool a novel definition of rotation sets inspired in the classical work of Miziurewicz and Zieman. We discuss different notions…

We show that any area-preserving $C^r$-diffeomorphism of a two-dimensional surface displaying an elliptic fixed point can be $C^r$-perturbed to one exhibiting a chaotic island whose metric entropy is positive, for every $1\le r\le \infty$.…

A positive contactomorphism of a contact manifold $M$ is the end point of a contact isotopy on $M$ that is always positively transverse to the contact structure. Assume that $M$ contains a Legendrian sphere $\Lambda$, and that $(M,\Lambda)$…

We study dynamical systems with the property that all the nontrivial factors have infinite topological entropy (or, positive mean dimension). We establish an ``if and only if'' condition for this property among a typical class of dynamical…

This article addresses the problem of computing the topological entropy of an application $\psi : G \to G$, where $G$ is a Lie group, given by some power $\psi(g) = g^k$, with $k$ a positive integer. When $G$ is commutative, $\psi$ is an…

The automorphism group of a one dimensional shift space over a finite alphabet exhibits different types of behavior: for a large class with positive entropy, it contains a rich collection of subgroups, while for many shifts of zero entropy,…

Let $T_1,\ldots, T_m$ be a family of $d\times d$ invertible real matrices with $\|T_i\| <1/2$ for $1\leq i\leq m$. We provide some sufficient conditions on these matrices such that the self-affine set generated by the iterated function…

We discuss the dynamics beyond topological hyperbolicity considering homeomorphisms satisfying the shadowing property and generalizations of expansivity. It is proved that transitive countably expansive homeomorphisms satisfying the…

We show that the Voiculescu-Brown entropy of a noncommutative toral automorphism arising from a matrix S in GL(d,Z) is at least half the value of the topological entropy of the corresponding classical toral automorphism. We also obtain some…

We study the rotation sets for homeomorphisms homotopic to the identity on the torus $\mathbb T^d$, $d\ge 2$. In the conservative setting, we prove that there exists a Baire residual subset of the set $\text{Homeo}_{0, \lambda}(\mathbb…

The aim of this work is to study a kind of refinement of the entropy conjecture, in the context of partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms with one dimensional central direction, of d-dimensional torus. We start by establishing a connection…

In this paper we study topological entropy and recurrence properties of non-autonomous dynamical system generated by a family of continuous self maps on a compact space X. Specially, we introduce the pseudo-entropy and…

We establish multiple recurrence and convergence results for pairs of zero entropy measure preserving transformations that do not satisfy any commutativity assumptions. Our results cover the case where the iterates of the two…

Given a continuous dynamical system $f:X\to X$ on a compact metric space $X$ and an $m$-dimensional continuous potential $\Phi:X\to \mathbb R^m$, the (generalized) rotation set ${\rm Rot}(\Phi)$ is defined as the set of all $\mu$-integrals…

We study the topology of orbits of dynamical systems defined by finite-dimensional representations of nilpotent Lie groups. Thus, the following dichotomy is established: either the interior of the set of regular points is dense in the…

This paper is devoted to problems stated by Z. Zhou and F. Li in 2009. They concern relations between almost periodic, weakly almost periodic, and quasi-weakly almost periodic points of a continuous map f and its topological entropy. The…

Given a closed, smooth 4-manifold $X$ and self-diffeomorphism $f$ that is topologically pseudo-isotopic to the identity, we study the question of whether $f$ is moreover smoothly pseudo-isotopic to the identity. If the fundamental group of…

We study the behavior of diffeomorphisms, contained in the closure $\bar {\A_\a}$ (in the inductive limit topology) of the set $\A_\a$ of real-analytic diffeomorphisms of the torus $\Bbb T^2$, conjugated to the rotation $R_\a:(x,y)\mapsto…

Assume that $f$ is a $C^r(r\geq 3)$ specially partially hyperbolic endomorphism on the 2-torus which is homotopic to an expanding linear endomorphism $A$ with irrational eigenvalues. We prove that $f$ and $A$ are topologically conjugate, if…
