We consider classes of diffeomorphisms of Euclidean space with partial asymptotic expansions at infinity; the remainder term lies in a weighted Sobolev space whose properties at infinity fit with the desired application. We show that two…

Using a "Hodge decomposition" of symplectic isotopies on a compact symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$, we construct a norm on the identity component in the group of all symplectic diffeomorphisms of $(M,\omega)$ whose restriction to the group…

We establish a new criterion for the existence of a global cross section to a non-singular volume-preserving flow $\Phi$ on a closed smooth manifold $M$. Namely, if $X$ is the infinitesimal generator of the flow and $\Phi$ preserves a…

In this work we relate the known results about the homotopy type of classifying spaces for smooth foliations, with the homology and cohomology of the discrete group of diffeomorphisms of a smooth compact connected oriented manifold. The…

The main theorem shows that if M is an irreducible compact connected orientable 3-manifold with non-empty boundary, then the classifying space BDiff(M rel dM) of the space of diffeomorphisms of M which restrict to the identity map on…

Let $M$ be a $G$-manifold and $\om$ a $G$-invariant exact $m$-form on $M$. We indicate when these data allow us to constract a cocycle on a group $G$ with values in the trivial $G$-module $\mathbb R$ and when this cocycle is nontrivial.

We consider partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms on compact manifolds where the unstable and stable foliations stably carry some unique non-trivial homologies. We prove the following two results: if the center foliation is one dimensional,…

We study exact, volume-preserving diffeomorphisms that have heteroclinic connections between a pair of normally hyperbolic invariant manifolds. We develop a general theory of lobes, showing that the lobe volume is given by an integral of a…

We consider Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms $\phi$ of the unit cotangent bundle over a closed Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ which extend to Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of $T^*M$ equal to the time-1-map of the geodesic flow for $|p| \ge 1$. For…

Let (N,g) be a Riemannian manifold. For a compact, connected and oriented submanifold M of N. we define the space of volume preserving embeddings Emb_{\mu}(M,N) as the set of smooth embeddings f:M \rightarrow N such that f*\mu^{f}=\mu,…

This paper introduces a family of entropy-conserving finite-difference discretizations for the compressible flow equations. In addition to conserving the primary quantities of mass, momentum, and total energy, the methods also preserve…

Quasi-invariant measures for non-discrete groups of diffeomorphisms containing a Morse-Smale dynamics are studied. The assumption concerning the presence of a Morse-Smale dynamics allows us to extend to higher dimensions a number of…

We prove that for any $\ell\in\NN\cup\{\infty\}$ and any $r\in \NN$, every compact smooth Riemannian manifold $\cM$ of $\dim \cM\ge 5$ carries a $C^\infty$ volume preserving nonuniformly hyperbolic diffeomorphism, which has exactly $\ell$…

This paper shall be concerned with three main results. After a brief recollection of basic symplectic geometry, we prove using Moser's homotopy method a special case of the Strong Darboux Theorem found, for instance, in Theorem 21.1.6 of…

This paper is a step towards the complete topological classification of {\Omega}-stable diffeomorphisms on an orientable closed surface, aiming to give necessary and sufficient conditions for two such diffeomorphisms to be topologically…

We study the action of the diffeomorphism group $\Diff(M)$ on the space of proper immersions $\Imm_{\text{prop}}(M,N)$ by composition from the right. We show that smooth transversal slices exist through each orbit, that the quotient space…

Let $M$ be the circle or a compact interval, and let $\alpha=k+\tau\ge1$ be a real number such that $k=\lfloor \alpha\rfloor$. We write $\mathrm{Diff}_+^{\alpha}(M)$ for the group of $C^k$ diffeomorphisms of $M$ whose $k^{th}$ derivatives…

For an ergodic hyperbolic measure $\omega$ of a $C^{1+{\alpha}}$ diffeomorphism, there is an $\omega$ full-measured set $\tilde\Lambda$ such that every nonempty, compact and connected subset $V$ of $\mathbb{M}_{inv}(\tilde\Lambda)$…

We describe interrelations between a topology structure of closed manifolds (orientable and non-orientable) of the dimension $n\geq 4$ and the structure of the non-wandering set of regular homeomorphisms, in particular, Morse-Smale…

For a given manifold $M$ we consider the non-linear Grassmann manifold $Gr_n(M)$ of $n$-dimensional submanifolds in $M$. A closed $(n+2)$-form on $M$ gives rise to a closed 2-form on $Gr_n(M)$. If the original form was integral, the 2-form…
