A classical result of Sampson and Schoen-Yau in 1978 states that every diffeomorphism between compact hyperbolic Riemann surfaces is homotopic to an harmonic diffeomorphism. As conjectured by Schoen in 1993 and partially proved by Wan in…
The main theme of this paper is the connection between the existence of infinitely many periodic orbits for a Hamiltonian system and the behavior of its action or index spectrum under iterations. We use the action and index spectra to show…
Nondegenerate periodic orbits in three-dimensional Reeb flows can be classified into three types, positive hyperbolic, negative hyperbolic and elliptic. As a problem which involves refining the three-dimensional Weinstein conjecture, D.…
Let $\rho_\Sigma=h(|z|^2)$ be a metric in a Riemann surface $\Sigma$, where $h$ is a positive real function. Let $\mathcal H_{r_1}=\{w=f(z)\}$ be the family of univalent $\rho_\Sigma$ harmonic mapping of the Euclidean annulus…
We express the mean Euler characteristic of a contact structure in terms of the mean indices of closed Reeb orbits for a broad class of contact manifolds, the so-called asymptotically finite contact manifolds. We show that this class is…
We exhibit the first examples of contact structures on $S^{2n-1}$ with $n\geq 4$ and on $S^3\times S^2$, all equipped with their standard smooth structures, for which every Reeb flow has positive topological entropy. As a new technical tool…
An approximate Poincare map near equally strong multiple resonances is reduced by means the method of averaging. Near the resonance junction of three degrees of freedom, we find that some homoclinic orbits ``whiskers'' in single resonance…
We show that whenever a closed symplectic manifold admits a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism with finitely many simple periodic orbits, the manifold has a spherical homology class of degree two with positive symplectic area and positive integral…
We consider a homoclinic orbit to a saddle fixed point of an arbitrary $C^\infty$ map $f$ on $\mathbb{R}^2$ and study the phenomenon that $f$ has an infinite family of asymptotically stable, single-round periodic solutions. From classical…
We establish the existence of a secondary Reeb orbit set with quantitative action and linking bounds for any contact form on the standard tight three-sphere admitting the standard transverse positive $T(p,q)$ torus knot as an elliptic Reeb…
Let $f:M\to M$ be a $C^{1+\epsilon}$-map on a smooth Riemannian manifold $M$ and let $\Lambda\subset M$ be a compact $f$-invariant locally maximal set. In this paper we obtain several results concerning the distribution of the periodic…
We consider a closed three-dimensional contact sub-Riemannian manifold. The objective of this note is to provide a precise description of the sub-Riemannian geodesics with large initial momenta: we prove that they "spiral around the Reeb…
We compute a Simons' type formula for the stress-energy tensor of biharmonic maps from surfaces. Specializing to Riemannian immersions, we prove several rigidity results for biharmonic CMC surfaces, putting in evidence the influence of the…
We study the $J-$holomorphic curves in the symplectization of the contact manifolds and prove that there exists at least one periodic Reeb orbits in any closed contact manifold with any contact form by using the well-known Gromov's…
This paper is devoted to studying a notion of Bott integrability for Reeb flows on contact 3-manifolds. We show, in analogy with work of Fomenko-Zieschang on Hamiltonian flows in dimension 4, that Bott-integrable Reeb flows exist precisely…
In this paper we produce a lower bound for the number of periodic orbits of certain Hamiltonian vector fields near Bott-nondegenerate symplectic critical submanifolds. This result is then related to the problem of finding closed orbits of…
We prove that every $C^1$ three-dimensional flow with positive topological entropy can be $C^1$ approximated by flows with homoclinic orbits. This extends a previous result for $C^1$ surface diffeomorphisms \cite{g}.
Investigation of the effects of a contact surgery construction and of invariance of contact homology reveals a rich new field of inquiry at the intersection of dynamical systems and contact geometry. We produce contact 3-flows not…
We consider magnetic geodesic flows of the normal metrics on a class of homogeneous spaces, in particular (co)adjoint orbits of compact Lie groups. We give the proof of the non-commutative integrability of flows and show, in addition, for…
We give criteria for the existence of bifurcations of symmetric periodic orbits in reversible Hamiltonian systems in terms of local equivariant Lagrangian Rabinowitz Floer homology. As an example, we consider the family of the direct…
