We develop an index theory for variational problems on noncompact quantum graphs. The main results are a spectral flow formula, relating the net change of eigenvalues to the Maslov index of boundary data, and a Morse index theorem, equating…

Let G be a connected compact Lie group acting on a manifold M and let D be a transversally elliptic operator on M. The multiplicity of the index of D is a function on the set of irreducible representations of G. Let T be a maximal torus of…

Infinitesimal contraction analysis, wherein global asymptotic convergence results are obtained from local dynamical properties, has proven to be a powerful tool for applications in biological, mechanical, and transportation systems. Thus…

We outline the construction of invariants of Hamiltonian group actions on symplectic manifolds. These invariants can be viewed as an equivariant version of Gromov-Witten invariants. They are derived from solutions of a PDE involving the…

If {\omega} is a closed G-invariant 2-form and {\mu} a moment map, then we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for equivariant pre-quantizability that can be computed in terms of the moment map {\mu}. We also compute the obstructions…

Let $\mathcal{S}$ be an integrable Pfaffian system. If it is invariant under a transversally free infinitesimal action of a finite dimensional real Lie algebra $g$ and consequently invariant under the local action of a Lie group $G$, we…

The aim of this paper is to show how extracting dynamical behavior and ergodic properties from deterministic chaos with the assistance of exact invariant measures. On the one hand, we provide an approach to deal with the inverse problem of…

In this paper we study an index of a critical orbit, defined in terms of the degree for invariant strongly indefinite functionals. We establish a relationship of this index with the index of a critical point of the mapping restricted to the…

In this paper we investigate multifractal decompositions based on values of Birkhoff averages of functions from a class of symbolically continuous functions. This will be done for an expanding interval map with infinitely many branches and…

We construct a collection of numerical invariants for approximately transitive (AT) actions (of $\Z$). We use them (sometimes supplemented by other invariants to show that members of various one-parameter families of AT actions are mutually…

We consider various systematic ways of defining unbounded operator valued integrals of complex functions with respect to (mostly) positive operator measures and positive sesquilinear form measures, and investigate their relationships to…

We describe a method of computing equivariant and ordinary intersection cohomology of certain varieties with actions of algebraic tori, in terms of structure of the zero- and one-dimensional orbits. The class of varieties to which our…

Let $M$ be a compact Riemannian manifold endowed with an isometric action of a compact Lie group. The method of the Witten deformation is used to compute the virtual representation-valued equivariant index of a transversally elliptic, first…

We characterize the infinitesimal generator of a semigroup of linear fractional self-maps of the unit ball in $\mathbb C^n$, $n\geq 1$. For the case $n=1$ we also completely describe the associated Koenigs function and we solve the…

It is known that for convex sets, the KKM condition is equivalent to the finite intersection property. We use this equivalence to obtain a characterisation of monotone operators in terms of convex KKM maps and in terms of the existence of…

Let $G$ be a reductive Lie group and ${\mathcal O}$ the coadjoint orbit of a hyperbolic element of ${\frak g}^*$. By $\pi$ is denoted the unitary irreducible representation of $G$ associated with ${\mathcal O}$ by the orbit method. We give…

In recent years, the study of the bienergy functional has attracted the attention of a large community of researchers, but there are not many examples where the second variation of this functional has been thoroughly studied. We shall focus…

We construct ergodic probability measures with infinite metric entropy for typical continuous maps and homeomorphisms on compact manifolds. We also construct sequences of such measures that converge to a zero-entropy measure.

We consider an isomorphism between the idempotent convexity based on the maximum and the addition operations and the idempotent measure convexity on the maximum and the multiplication operations. We use this isomorphism to investigate…

We describe the behaviour of the homotopy similarity relations and finite-order invariants under the function $[X,Y]\to[X,Z]$ induced by a map $Y\to Z$ strongly $r$-similar to the constant map.
