Compact objects evolving in an astrophysical environment experience a gravitational drag force known as dynamical friction. We present a multipole-frequency decomposition to evaluate the orbit-averaged energy and angular momentum…
Mitchell and Littlejohn showed that isotropy groups and orbits for $N$-body problems attain a sense of genericity for $N = 5$. The author recently showed that the arbitrary-$d$ generalization of this 3-$d$ result is that genericity in this…
Dynamists have been studying Hamiltonian systems for a long time. However, many physical systems are dissipative and do not preserve a symplectic form. This is the case, for example, with systems involving friction, which multiply the…
Special subsets of orbits in chaotic systems, e.g. periodic orbits, heteroclinic orbits, closed orbits, can be considered as skeletons or scaffolds upon which the full dynamics of the system is built. In particular, as demonstrated in…

An estimate on the number of distinct relative periodic orbits around a stable relative equilibrium in a Hamiltonian system with continuous symmetry is given. This result constitutes a generalization to the Hamiltonian symmetric framework…
We consider directed weighted graphs and define various families of path counting functions. Our main results are explicit formulas for the main term of the asymptotic growth rate of these counting functions, under some irrationality…
We study the asymptotic behaviour of the orbit-counting function and a dynamical Mertens' theorem for the full $G$-shift for a finitely-generated torsion-free nilpotent group $G$. Using bounds for the M{\"o}bius function on the lattice of…
It is shown how to model any automorphism of a totally disconnected, locally compact group by a symbolic dynamical system. The model is an inverse limit of a product of a full-shift, on a finite number of symbols, with one of two types of…
We study the functorial and growth properties of closed orbits for maps. By viewing an arbitrary sequence as the orbit-counting function for a map, iterates and Cartesian products of maps define new transformations between integer…
In this article, we study the knots realized by periodic orbits of R-covered Anosov flows in compact 3-manifolds. We show that if two orbits are freely homotopic then in fact they are isotopic. We show that lifts of periodic orbits to the…
The purpose of this note is to share some observations and speculations concerning the asymptotic behavior of Gromov-Witten invariants. They may be indicative of some deep phenomena in symplectic topology that in full generality are outside…
We consider C2 Hamiltonian functions on compact 4-dimensional symplectic manifolds to study elliptic dynamics of the Hamiltonian flow, namely the so-called Newhouse dichotomy. We show that for any open set U intersecting a far from Anosov…
In this paper we study the polynomial entropy of homeomorphism on compact metric space. We construct a homeomorphism on a compact metric space with vanishing polynomial entropy that it is not equicontinuous. Also we give examples with…
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 investigate the dynamics of periodic non-autonomous discrete dynamical systems on uniform spaces and topological spaces, focusing on the extension of the classical Auslander-Yorke dichotomy to these settings. We prove various dichotomy…
We study the asymptotic behavior, as time t goes to infinity, of nonautonomous dynamical systems involving multiscale features. These systems model the emergence of various collective behaviors in game theory, as well as the asymptotic…
In this article we prove that for a diffeomorphism on a compact Riemannian manifold, if there is a nontrival homoclinic class that is not uniformly hyperbolic or the diffeomorphism is a $C^{1+\alpha}$ and there is a hyperbolic ergodic…
We show that on a totally disconnected compact metric space every separating homeomorphisms is expansive except at periodic points. We conclude that minimal separating homeomorphisms are expansive and that every separating homeomorphism has…
Deutsch and Aguirre have recently shown that the solutions of certain dynamical systems typically contain a point of minimum size that they identify as an entropy minimum and from which the size and entropy increase to infinity in both…
