An example is given of a hyperconvex manifold without non-constant bounded holomorphic functions, which is realized as a domain with real-analytic Levi-flat boundary in a projective surface.

We consider compact sets which are invariant and partially hyperbolic under the dynamics of a diffeomorphism of a manifold. We prove that such a set K is contained in a locally invariant center submanifold if and only if each strong stable…

We study the integrability of a (almost) complex structure calibrated by a symplectic form. We find new sufficent conditions.

The hard sphere model is known to show a liquid-solid phase transition, with the solid expected to be either face centered cubic or hexagonal close packed. The difference in free energy between the two structures is very small and various…

We examine the dynamics of a particle in a general rotating quadratic potential, not necessarily stable or isotropic, using a general complex mode formalism. The problem is equivalent to that of a charged particle in a quadratic potential…

In the theory of renormalization for classical dynamical systems, e.g. unimodal maps and critical circle maps, topological conjugacy classes are stable manifolds of renormalization. Physically more realistic systems on the other hand may…

We will look for stable structures in four situations and discuss what is known and unknown.

Homoclinic bifurcation of 4-dimensional symplectic mappings is asymptotically studied. We construct the 2-dimensional stable and unstable manifolds near the sub-manifolds which experience exponentially small splitting, and successfully…

The stability of the fundamental defects of an unstretchable flat sheet is examined. This involves expanding the bending energy to second order in deformations about the defect. The modes of deformation occur as eigenstates of a…

Let $M$ be a locally compact metric space endowed with a continuous flow $\phi : M \times \mathbb{R} \longrightarrow M$. Frequently an attractor $K$ for $\phi$ exists which is of interest, not only in itself but also the dynamics in its…

We construct examples of Tonelli Hamiltonians on $\T^n$ (for any $n\geq 2$) such that the hypersurfaces corresponding to the Ma\~n\'e critical value are stable (i.e. geodesible). We also provide a criterion for instability in terms of…

We prove existence of finitely many ergodic equilibrium states for a large class of non-uniformly expanding local homeomorphisms on compact manifolds and Holder continuous potentials with not very large oscillation. No Markov structure is…

Many hydrodynamic instability patterns can be put into correspondence with a subset of characteristic surfaces of tangential discontinuities. These topological limits sets to systems of hyperbolic PDE's are locally unstable, but a certain…

We exhibit orbits of the geodesic flow on a hyperbolic surface with at least one cusp such that every tubular neighborhood contains uncountably many distinct geodesic flow orbits. The proof relies on new phenomena, namely the existence of…

A nonlinear parabolic differential equation with a quadratic nonlinearity is presented which has at least one equilibrium. The linearization about this equilibrium is asymptotically stable, but by using a technique inspired by H. Fujita, we…

We show that a partially hyperbolic system can have at most a finite number of compact center-stable submanifolds. We also give sufficient conditions for these submanifolds to exist and consider the question of whether they can intersect…

The Harper map is one of the simplest chaotic systems exhibiting reconnection of invariant manifolds. The method of asymptotics beyond all orders (ABAO) is used to construct stable/unstable manifolds of the Harper map. When the parameter…

We prove that every robustly transitive and every stably ergodic symplectic diffeomorphism on a compact manifold admits a dominated splitting. In fact, these diffeomorphisms are partially hyperbolic.

Let $(\tilde{\Sigma},h_{ab},K_{ab})$ be an initial data set and let $x^a$ be a symmetry vector of $\tilde{\Sigma}$. Consider a MOTS $\mathcal{S}$ in $\tilde{\Sigma}$ and let the symmetry vector be decomposable along the unit normal to…

In this paper we prove a general stability result for higher order geometric flows on the circle, which basically states that if the initial condition is close to a round circle, the curve evolves smoothly and exponentially fast towards a…
