Let $M$ be a compact $n$-dimensional Riemanian manifold, End($M$) the set of the endomorphisms of $M$ with the usual $\mathcal{C}^0$ topology and $\phi: M\to\mathbb{R}$ continuous. We prove that there exists a dense subset of $\mathcal{A}$…

We give sufficient conditions for an expansive partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism with one-dimensional center to be (topologically) Anosov.

Let $f$ be a $C^r$ ($r>1$) diffeomorphism on a compact surface $M$ with $h_{\rm top}(f)\geq\frac{\lambda^{+}(f)}{r}$ where $\lambda^{+}(f):=\lim_{n\to+\infty}\frac{1}{n}\max_{x\in M}\log \left\|Df^{n}_{x}\right\|$. We establish an…

We show that each non-hyperbolic ergodic measure of a partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism on $\mathbb{T}^3$ which is homotopic to Anosov admits a full measure subset which intersects each center leaf in at most two points.

In 1994, Ittai Kan provided the first examples of maps with intermingled basins. The Kan example corresponds to a partially hyperbolic endomorphism defined on a surface with the boundary exhibiting two intermingled hyperbolic physical…

We prove the upper semicontinuity of the measure theoretic entropy for the geodesic flow on complete Riemannian manifolds without focal points and bounded sectional curvature. We then study the relationship between the escape of mass…

We study the entropy and Lyapunov exponents of invariant measures $\mu$ for smooth surface diffeomorphisms $f$, as functions of $(f,\mu)$. The main result is an inequality relating the discontinuities of these functions. One consequence is…

Let $f$ be a $C^2$ diffeomorphism on compact Riemannian manifold $M$ with partially hyperbolic splitting $$ TM=E^u\oplus E_1^c\oplus\cdots\oplus E_k^c \oplus E^s, $$ where $E^u$ is uniformly expanding, $E^s$ is uniformly contracting, and…

We study thermodynamic formalism for topologically transitive partially hyperbolic systems in which the center-stable bundle satisfies a bounded expansion property, and show that every potential function satisfying the Bowen property has a…

We study generic volume-preserving diffeomorphisms on compact manifolds. We show that the following property holds generically in the $C^1$ topology: Either there is at least one zero Lyapunov exponent at almost every point, or the set of…

Bochi-Katok-Rodriguez Hertz proposed in [BKH21] a program on the flexibility of Lyapunov exponents for conservative Anosov diffeomorphisms, and obtained partial results in this direction. For conservative Anosov diffeomorphisms with strong…

We provide examples of transitive partially hyperbolic dynamics (specific but paradigmatic examples of homoclinic classes) which blend different types of hyperbolicity in the one-dimensional center direction. These homoclinic classes have…

We prove that any diffeomorphism of a compact manifold can be C^1-approximated by a diffeomorphism which exhibits a homoclinic bifurcation (a homoclinic tangency or a heterodimensional cycle) or by a diffeomorphism which is partially…

We show the existence of large $\mathcal C^1$ open sets of area preserving endomorphisms of the two-torus which have no dominated splitting and are non-uniformly hyperbolic, meaning that Lebesgue almost every point has a positive and a…

We show that diffeomorphisms with a dominated splitting of the form $E^s\oplus E^c\oplus E^u$, where $E^c$ is a nonhyperbolic central bundle that splits in a dominated way into 1-dimensional subbundles, are entropy-expansive. In particular,…

We prove that the restriction of a probability measure invariant under a nonhyperbolic, ergodic and totally irreducible automorphism of a compact connected abelian group to the leaves of the central foliation is severely restricted. We also…

We continue our study of the dynamics of mappings with small topological degree on (projective) complex surfaces. Previously, under mild hypotheses, we have constructed an ergodic ``equilibrium'' measure for each such mapping. Here we study…

If a $C^{1 + a}$, $a >0$, volume-preserving diffeomorphism on a compact manifold has a hyperbolic invariant set with positive volume, then the map is Anosov. We also give a direct proof of ergodicity of volume-preserving $CC^{1+a}$, $a>0$,…

We show that a totally dissipative system has all nonsingular systems as factors, but that this is no longer true when the factor maps are required to be finitary. In particular, if a nonsingular Bernoulli shift satisfies the Doeblin…

In this work we exhibit a new criteria for ergodicity of diffeomorphisms involving conditions on Lyapunov exponents and general position of some invariant manifolds. On one hand we derive uniqueness of SRB-measures for transitive surface…
