We construct an isotopy of a planar compactum that is not the restriction of an isotopy of any planar continuum.

This paper seeks conditions that ensure that the attractor of a graph directed iterated function system (GD-IFS) cannot be realised as the attractor of a standard iterated function system (IFS). For a strongly connected directed graph, it…

We obtain some results about continuum-wise expansive homeomorphisms, such as non-existence of stable points and presence of non-trivial connected components within the local stable and unstable sets. These facts have been of importance in…

We present an example of a zero-dimensional $F$-space that is not strongly zero-dimensional.

We construct infinite sequences of pseudo-Anosov homeomorphisms without fixed points and leaving invariant a sequence of orientable measured foliations on the same topological surface and the same stratum of the space of abelian…

The fast basin of an attractor of an iterated function system (IFS) is the set of points in the domain of the IFS whose orbits under the associated semigroup intersect the attractor. Fast basins can have non-integer dimension and comprise a…

This article deals with directional rotational deviations for non-wandering periodic point free homeomorphisms of the 2-torus which are homotopic to the identity. We prove that under mild assumptions, such a homeomorphism exhibits uniformly…

We observe the occurrence of a strange nonchaotic attractor in a periodically driven two-dimensional map, formerly proposed as a neuron model and a sequence generator. We characterize this attractor through the study of the Lyapunov…

We provide an equivalent characterisation for the existence of one-dimensional irrational rotation factors of conservative torus homeomorphisms that are not eventually annular. It states that an area-preserving non-annular torus…

Given an integer m>1 we consider Zm-equivariant and orientation preserving homeomorphisms in the plane with an asymptotically stable fixed point at the origin. We present examples without periodic points and having some complicated…

Recently, many examples of smooth fans that admit a transitive homeomorphism have been constructed. For example, a family of uncountably many pairwise non-homeomorphic smooth fans that admit transitive homeomorphisms was constructed. In…

Bredon has constructed a 2-dimensional compact cohomology manifold which is not homologically locally connected, with respect to the singular homology. In the present paper we construct infinitely many such examples (which are in addition…

We prove that every Peano continuum with uncountably many local cut points is a topological fractal. This extends some recent results and it partially answers a conjecture by Hata. We also discuss the number of mappings which are necessary…

We explore a general mechanism that allows (1+1)d CFTs to have interesting interface conformal manifolds even in the absence of any continuous internal symmetry or supersymmetry. This is made possible by the breaking of an enhanced…

Let $f$ be a continuous endomorphism of a surface $M$, and $A$ an attracting set such that the restriction $f|_A: A \to A$ is a $d:1$ covering map. We show that if $f$ is a local homeomorphism in the immediate basin $B^0_A$ of $A$, then $f$…

Let $M$ be a $2\times2$ real matrix with both eigenvalues less than~1 in modulus. Consider two self-affine contraction maps from $\mathbb R^2 \to \mathbb R^2$, \begin{equation*} T_m(v) = M v - u \ \ \mathrm{and}\ \ T_p(v) = M v + u,…

We prove that $n$-sphere $\mathbb{S}^n$, $n\geq 2$, admits structurally stable diffeomorphisms $\mathbb{S}^n\to\mathbb{S}^n$ with non-orientable expanding attractors of any topological dimension $d\in\{1,\ldots,[\frac{n}{2}]\}$ where $[x]$…

If two homogeneous IFSs satisfying the OSC with opposite common contraction factors share the same attractor on the real line, we show that this attractor is symmetric. This answers a question of Feng and Wang [Adv. Math. 222 (2009),…

We prove the conjecture of F. Rodriguez Hertz and J. Rodriguez Hertz (2006) that every nontrivial transitive expansive attractor of a homeomorphism of a compact surface is a derived from pseudo-Anosov attractor.

This paper investigates the dimension theory of some families of continuous piecewise linear iterated function systems. For one family, we show that the Hausdorff dimension of the attractor is equal to the exponential growth rate obtained…
