For every irreducible automorphism $\phi\in\text{SL}_3({\mathbb Z})$ of the $3$-torus, for which the product of the expanding eigenvalues is positive, we construct a pseudo-Anosov mapping $f$ of an associated surface, semi-conjugate and…

We exhibit a local residual set of surface $C^1$ diffeomorphisms that are continuum-wise expansive but are not expansive. We also exhibit an open and dense set of surface $C^1$ diffeomorphisms where expansiveness implies being Anosov.

We investigate a phenomenon observed by W. Thurston wherein one constructs a pseudo-Anosov homeomorphism on the limit set of a certain lift of a piecewise-linear expanding interval map. We reconcile this construction with a special subclass…

On a compact manifold of any dimension $d\geq 3$, we show that joint non-integrability of the stable and unstable foliation of a hyperbolic attractor with one-dimensional expanding direction, for a vector field of class $C^2$, implies…

We present a multidimensional flow exhibiting a Rovella-like attractor: a transitive invariant set with a non-Lorenz-like singularity accumulated by regular orbits and a multidimensional non-uniformly expanding invariant direction.…

We introduce topological definitions of expansivity, shadowing, and chain recurrence for homeomorphisms. They generalize the usual definitions for metric spaces. We prove various theorems about topologically Anosov homeomorphisms (maps that…

We study geometrical and dynamical properties of the so-called discrete Lorenz-like attractors, that can be observed in three-dimensional diffeomorphisms. We propose new phenomenological scenarios of their appearance in one parameter…

We consider piecewise expanding maps of the interval with finitely many branches of monotonicity and show that they are generically combinatorially stable, i.e., the number of ergodic attractors and their corresponding mixing periods do not…

Let Gamma_k be the lower central series of a surface group Gamma of a compact surface S with one boundary component. A simple question to ponder is whether a mapping class of S can be determined to be pseudo-Anosov given only the data of…

This paper studies the behavior of dynamical systems in non-compact spaces, specifically focusing on the concepts of global attractors and shadowing. Let $K$ be a compact global attractor. We show that the shadowing property holds in…

Every pseudo-Anosov homeomorphism $f$ admits infinitely many Markov partitions. A \textit{geometric Markov partition} is a Markov partition $\mathcal{R}$ in which each rectangle is equipped with a vertical orientation. To each pair $(f,…

In this paper we present a systematic study of continuous local iterated function systems. We prove local iterated function systems admit compact attractors and, under a contractivity assumption, construct their code space and present an…

We generalize the Lozi-like family introduced in Misiurewicz and \v{S}timac work from 2017. The generalized Lozi-like family encompasses in particular certain Lozi-like maps, orientation preserving or reversing Lozi maps or large parameter…

A homeomorphism f of a manifold M is called H_1-transitive if there is a transitive lift of an iterate of f to the universal Abelian cover \tM. Roughly speaking, this means that f has orbits which repeatedly and densely explore all elements…

We prove an estimation of the Kolmogorov $\epsilon$-entropy in H of the unitary ball in the space V, where H is a Hilbert space and V is a Sobolev-like subspace of H. Then, by means of Zelik's result [5], an estimate of the fractal…

The notion of an attractor has various definitions in the theory of dynamical systems. Under compactness assumptions, several of those definitions coincide and the theory is rather complete. However, without compactness, the picture becomes…

An {\em attractor} is a transitive set of a flow to which all positive orbit close to it converges. An attractor is {\em singular-hyperbolic} if it has singularities (all hyperbolic) and is partially hyperbolic with volume expanding central…
