We develop the novel machinery of smooth approximations, and apply it to confirm the CSP dichotomy conjecture for first-order reducts of the random tournament, various homogeneous graphs including the random graph, and for expansions of the…

Given a complete noncompact Riemannian manifold $N^n$, we investigate whether the set of bounded Sobolev maps $(W^{1, p} \cap L^\infty) (Q^m; N^n)$ on the cube $Q^m$ is strongly dense in the Sobolev space $W^{1, p} (Q^m; N^n)$ for $1 \le p…

Let $q:M\to M$ be a volume-preserving diffeomorphism of a smooth manifold $M$. We study the possibility to present $q$ as the Poincar\'e map, corresponding to a volume-preserving vector field on $\mathbb{T}\times M$, $\mathbb{T} =…

A well-known theorem due to Ma\~n\'e-Sad-Sullivan and Lyubich asserts that J-stable maps are dense in any holomorphic family of rational maps in dimension 1. In this paper we show that the corresponding result fails in higher dimension.…

We study the group of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms on a manifold. We develop a general theory of implicit generating forms. Our results generalize the classical formulas for generating functions of symplectic twist maps.

Given a pseudo-Riemannian metric of regularity $C^{1,1}$ on a smooth manifold, we prove that the corresponding exponential map is a bi-Lipschitz homeomorphism locally around any point. We also establish the existence of totally normal…

We define upper bound and lower bounds for order-preserving homogeneous of degree one maps on a proper closed cone in $\R^n$ in terms of the cone spectral radius. We also define weak upper and lower bounds for these maps. For a proper…

We prove a pointwise $C^{2,\,\alpha}$ estimate for the potential of the optimal transport map in the case that the densities are only close to constant in a certain $L^p$ sense.

We prove that within the space of ergodic Lebesgue-preserving C1 expanding maps of the circle, unbounded distortion is C1-generic.

We prove that there exists an open subset of the set of real-analytic Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of a closed surface in which diffeomorphisms exhibiting fast growth of the number of periodic points are dense. We also prove that there…

In this paper, we establish the $C^0$-coerciveness of Moser's problem of mapping one smooth volume form to another in terms of the weak topology of measures associated to the volume forms. The proof relies on our analysis of…

We exhibit a new large class of $C^1$ open examples of robustly transitive maps displaying persistent critical points in the homotopy class of expanding endomorphisms acting on the two dimensional Torus and the Klein bottle.

In the space of C^k piecewise expanding unimodal maps, k>=1, we characterize the C^1 smooth families of maps where the topological dynamics does not change (the "smooth deformations") as the families tangent to a continuous distribution of…

We provide a short proof that an $L^2_1$ and $J$-holomorphic curve is in fact smooth. As an application, we deduce a removal of singularity theorem for curves of finite energy.

We improve previous results by exhibiting a construction that contains all known examples. A suficient condition for the existence of robustly transitive maps displaying singularities on a certain large class of compact manifolds is given.

We prove that under mild hypothesis rational maps on a surface preserving webs are of Latt\`es type. We classify endomorphisms of P^2 preserving webs, extending former results of Dabija-Jonsson.

We show that on any Riemannian surface for each $0<c<\infty$ there exists an immersed $C^{1,1}$ curve that is smooth and with curvature equal to $\pm c$ away from a point. We give examples showing that, in general, the regularity of the…

We continue our study of the free boundary regularity in the thin one-phase problem and show that $C^{2,\alpha}$ free boundaries are smooth.

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…

We investigate the validity and the failure of modular density of smooth maps on compact manifolds.
