It is shown that every homeomorphism f of finite distortion in the plane is the so-called lower Q-homeomorphism with Q(z)=K_f(z), and, on this base, it is developed the theory of the boundary behavior of such homeomorphisms.

This paper studies homeomorphisms of surfaces isotopic to the identity by means of purely topological methods and Brouwer theory. The main development is a novel theory of orbit forcing using maximal isotopies and transverse foliations.…

We prove that any minimal $2$-torus homeomorphism which is isotopic to the identity and whose rotation set is not just a point exhibits uniformly bounded rotational deviations on the perpendicular direction to the rotation set. As a…

The Lefschetz fixed point theorem provides a powerful obstruction to the existence of minimal homeomorphisms on well-behaved spaces such as finite CW-complexes. We show that these obstructions do not hold for more general spaces. More…

Let $f:N\rightarrow (M,g)$ be an oriented (or spin), complete, stable, minimal, immersed hypersurface. In this paper we establish various vanishing theorems for the space of $L^2$-harmonic forms and spinors (in the spin case) under suitable…

We classify ruled minimal surfaces in $\Bbb R^3$ with density $e^z.$ It is showed that there is no noncylindrical ruled minimal surface and there is a family of cylindrical ruled minimal surfaces in $\Bbb R^3$ with density $e^z.$ It is also…

An algebraic $Z^{d}$-action is an action of $Z^{d}$ on a compact abelian group $X$ by automorphisms of $X$. We prove that for $d \ge 8$, there exist mixing zero entropy algebraic $Z^{d}$-actions which do not exhibit isomorphism rigidity…

We prove that the Halperin-Carlsson conjecture holds for any free (Z_2)^m action on a compact manifold whose orbit space is a small cover. In addition, we show that if the total space of a principal (Z_2)^m bundle over a small cover is…

We prove that infinite mapping class group orbits are dense in the character variety of Deroin-Tholozan representations. In other words, the action is minimal except for finite orbits. Our arguments rely on the symplectic structure of the…

In this article, we consider a small rigid body moving in a viscous fluid filling the whole plane. We assume that the diameter of the rigid body goes to 0, that the initial velocity has bounded energy and that the density of the rigid body…

Let $\lambda$ denote the probability Lebesgue measure on ${\mathbb T}^2$. For any $C^2$-Anosov diffeomorphism of the $2$-torus preserving $\lambda$ with measure-theoretic entropy equal to topological entropy, we show that the set of points…

The principle of least action provides a holistic worldview in which nature in its entirety and every detail is pictured in terms of actions. Each and every action is ultimately composed of one or multiples of the most elementary action…

For the 2D cubic (mass-critical) Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation, \begin{equation*} \partial_t\phi+\partial_{x_1}(\Delta \phi+\phi^3)=0,\quad (t,x)\in [0,\infty)\times \mathbb{R}^{2}, \end{equation*} we prove that there exist no finite/infinite…

In this work, we study minimal equicontinuous actions which are locally quasi-analytic. The first main result shows that for minimal equicontinuous actions which are locally quasi-analytic, continuous orbit equivalence of the actions…

Let $\mathcal{D} =\Omega \setminus\bar{\omega} \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ be a smooth annular type domain. We consider the simplified Ginzburg-Landau energy $E_\epsilon(u)=\frac{1}{2}\int_{\mathcal{D}} |\nabla u|^2…

We study full groups of minimal actions of countable groups by homeomorphisms on a Cantor space $X$, showing that these groups do not admit a compatible Polish group topology and, in the case of $\Z$-actions, are coanalytic non-Borel inside…

The family of topologies that induce the Euclidean metric space on every time axis and every space axis exhibits no maximal element when partially ordered by the relation ``finer than'', as demonstrated in this article. One conclusion and…

We prove some results of non-existence for solutions of the minimal surfaces equation on domain that are asymptoticaly equal to an angular sector.

We prove that there are no minimal hypersurfaces properly immersed in any region of the Euclidean space bounded by unstable minimal cones. We also prove the analogous result for $r$-minimal hypersurfaces.

We consider $f, h$ homeomorphims generating a faithful $BS(1,n)$-action on a closed surface $S$, that is, $h f h^{-1} = f^n$, for some $ n\geq 2$. According to \cite{GL}, after replacing $f$ by a suitable iterate if necessary, we can assume…
