A homeomorphism of a compact metric space is {\em tight} provided every non-degenerate compact connected (not necessarily invariant) subset carries positive entropy. It is shown that every $C^{1+\alpha}$ diffeomorphism of a closed surface…
A family of algebras, which we call topological conjugacy algebras, is associated with each proper continuous map on a locally compact Hausdorff space. Assume that $\eta_i:\X_i\to \X_i$ is a continuous proper map on a locally compact…
Let $S$ be any closed hyperbolic surface and let $\lambda$ be a maximal geodesic lamination on $S$. The amount of bending of an abstract pleated surface (homeomorphic to $S$) with the pleating locus $\lambda$ is completely determined by an…
Anosov representations $\rho$ of a hyperbolic group $\Gamma$ into a semisimple Lie group $G$ are known to admit cocompact domains of discontinuity in flag varieties $G/Q$, endowing the compact quotient manifolds $M_\rho$ with a…
In this work we study homeomorphisms of closed orientable surfaces homotopic to the identity, focusing on the existence of non-contractible periodic orbits. We show that, if $g$ is such a homeomorphism, and if $\hat g$ is its lift to the…
To every half-translation surface, we associate a saddle connection graph, which is a subgraph of the arc graph. We prove that every isomorphism between two saddle connection graphs is induced by an affine homeomorphism between the…
We obtain smooth conjugacy between non-necessarily special Anosov endomorphisms in the conservative case. Among other results, we prove that a strongly special $C^{\infty}-$Anosov endomorphism of $\mathbb{T}^2$ and its linearization are…
In this work we lead with expanding maps of the circle and Anosov diffeomorphisms on $\mathbb{T}^d, d \geq 2.$ We prove that, for these maps, \textit{constant periodic data} imply \textit{same periodic data of these maps and their…
We prove that (apart from dimension $n=4$), each Riemannian solenoidal lamination with transitive homeomorphism group and leaves isometric to a symmetric space $X$ of noncompact type, is homeomorphic to the inverse limit of the system of…
Let $\varphi$ be a transitive pseudo-Anosov flow on an oriented, compact $3$-manifold $M$, possibly with toral boundary. We characterize the surfaces in $M$ that are (almost) transverse to $\phi$. When $\varphi$ has no perfect fits (e.g.…
We prove that any compact semi-algebraic set is homeomorphic to the solution space of some art gallery problem. Previous works have established similar universality theorems, but holding only up to homotopy equivalence, rather than…
The closure of a braid in a closed orientable surface $\Sigma$ is a link in $\Sigma\times S^1$. We classify such closed surface braids up to isotopy and homeomorphism (with a small indeterminacy for isotopy of closed sphere braids),…
We prove that for any infinite-type orientable surface S there exists a collection of essential curves {\Gamma} in S such that any homeomorphism that preserves the isotopy classes of the elements of {\Gamma} is isotopic to the identity. The…
It is well-known that there is a close relationship between the dynamics of diffeomorphisms satisfying the axiom $A$ and the topology of the ambient manifold. In the given article, this statement is considered for the class $\mathbb G(M^2)$…
In this paper we define, for each aspherical orientable 3-manifold $M$ endowed with a \emph{torus splitting} $\c{T}$, a 2-dimensional fundamental $l_1$-class $[M]^{\c{T}}$ whose $l_1$-norm has similar properties as the Gromov simplicial…
Let $f\colon M\to N$ be a proper map between two aspherical compact orientable 3-manifolds with empty or toroidal boundary. We assume that $N$ is not a closed graph-manifold. Suppose that $f$ induces an epimorphism on fundamental groups. We…
Let $M$ be a compact orientable surface equipped with a volume form $\omega$, $P$ be either $\mathbb{R}$ or $S^1$, $f:M\to P$ be a $C^{\infty}$ Morse map, and $H$ be the Hamiltonian vector field of $f$ with respect to $\omega$. Let also…
Let $R$ be a compact, connected, orientable surface of genus $g$ with $n$ boundary components with $g \geq 2$, $n \geq 0$. Let $\mathcal{N}(R)$ be the nonseparating curve graph, $\mathcal{C}(R)$ be the curve graph and $\mathcal{HT}(R)$ be…
A graph $G$ is \emph{unstable} if its canonical double cover CDC$(G)$ has more automorphisms than Aut$(G)\times \mathbb{Z}_2$. A related problem asks when two non-isomorphic graphs share the same CDC. We unify both via \emph{lifting} and…
Let $\phi:\mathcal{C}(S)\to\mathcal{C}(S')$ be a simplicial isomorphism between the curve graphs of two infinite-type surfaces. In this paper we show that in this situation $S$ and $S'$ are homeomorphic and $\phi$ is induced by a…
