Let F be a surface and suppose that \phi: F -> F is a pseudo-Anosov homeomorphism fixing a puncture p of F. The mapping torus M = M_\phi is hyperbolic and contains a maximal cusp C about the puncture p. We show that the area (and height) of…

For an expansive homeomorphism, we investigate the relationship among dimension, entropy, and Lyapunov exponents. Motivated by Young's formula for surface diffeomorphisms, which links dimension and measure-theoretic entropy with hyperbolic…

We introduce topological definitions of expansivity, shadowing, and chain recurrence for homeomorphisms. They generalize the usual definitions for metric spaces. We prove various theorems about topologically Anosov homeomorphisms (maps that…

We prove that if f is an orientation-preserving homeomorphism of a closed orientable surface M whose singular set is totally disconnected, then f is topologically conjugate to a conformal transformation.

We show that any diffeomorphism of a compact manifold can be C1 approximated by diffeomorphisms exhibiting a homoclinic tangency or by diffeomorphisms having a partial hyperbolic structure.

We study homeomorphisms of compact metric spaces whose restriction to the nonwandering set has the pseudo-orbit tracing property. We prove that if there are positively expansive measures, then the topological entropy is positive. Some short…

Let $f$ be a $C^{1}$ diffeomorphism on a compact manifold $M$ admitting a partially hyperbolic splitting $TM=E^{s}\oplus_{\prec} E^{1}\oplus_{\prec} E^{2}\cdots \oplus_{\prec}E^{l}\oplus_{\prec} E^{u}$ where $E^{s}$ is uniformly…

We show that there is no transitive Anosov diffeomorphism with the global product structure, which is homotopic to a product of pseudo-Anosov diffeomorphisms, on a product of two closed surfaces each of which has genus greater than or equal…

Let $E$ be a linear space and suppose that $A$ is the global attractor of either (i) a homeomorphism $F:E\rightarrow E$ or (ii) a semigroup $S(\cdot)$ on $E$ that is injective on $A$. In both cases $A$ has trivial shape, and the dynamics on…

Let $M$ be a locally symmetric irreducible closed manifold of dimension $\ge 3$. A result of Borel [Bo] combined with Mostow rigidity imply that there exists a finite group $G = G(M)$ such that any finite subgroup of $\text{Homeo}^+(M)$ is…

Let $X$ and $Y$ be topological spaces. Let $C$ be a path-connected closed set of $X\times Y$. Suppose that $C$ is locally direct product, that is, for any $(a,b)\in X\times Y$, there exist an open set $U$ of $X$, an open set $V$ of $Y$, a…

In this paper we revisit uniformly hyperbolic basic sets and the domination of Oseledets splittings at periodic points. We prove that periodic points with simple Lyapunov spectrum are dense in non-trivial basic pieces of Cr-residual…

The cohomology theory known as Tmf, for "topological modular forms," is a universal object mapping out to elliptic cohomology theories, and its coefficient ring is closely connected to the classical ring of modular forms. We extend this to…

We prove that for a certain class of closed monotone symplectic manifolds any Hamiltonian diffeomorphism with a hyperbolic fixed point must necessarily have infinitely many periodic orbits. Among the manifolds in this class are complex…

We construct a smooth hyperbolic volume preserving diffeomorphism on a four dimensional compact Riemannian manifold which has countably many ergodic components and is arbitrarily close to the identity map.

A partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism $f$ is structurally quasi-stable if for any diffeomorphism $g$ $C^1$-close to $f$, there is a homeomorphism $\pi$ of $M$ such that $\pi\circ g$ and $f\circ\pi$ differ only by a motion $\tau$ along…

The statistical properties of mostly expanding partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms have been substantially studied. In this paper, we would like to address the entropy properties of mostly expanding partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms. We…

For every irreducible automorphism $\phi\in\text{SL}_3({\mathbb Z})$ of the $3$-torus, for which the product of the expanding eigenvalues is positive, we construct a pseudo-Anosov mapping $f$ of an associated surface, semi-conjugate and…

A homeomorphism of a 3-manifold M is said to be Dehn twists on the boundary when its restriction to the boundary of M is isotopic to the identity on the complement of a collection of disjoint simple closed curves in the boundary of M. In…

We investigate dynamical systems consisting of a locally compact Hausdorff space equipped with a partially defined local homeomorphism. Important examples of such systems include self-covering maps, one-sided shifts of finite type and, more…
