In this article we prove that the Hausdorff dimension of geodesic directions that are recurrent and diverge on average coincides with the entropy at infinity of the geodesic flow for any complete, pinched negatively curved Riemannian…

Given a smooth manifold $M$ and a totally nonholonomic distribution $\Delta\subset TM$ of rank $d$, we study the effect of singular curves on the topology of the space of horizontal paths joining two points on $M$. Singular curves are…

Structurally stable (rough) flows on surfaces have only finitely many singularities and finitely many closed orbits, all of which are hyperbolic, and they have no trajectories joining saddle points. The violation of the last property leads…

For a non-empty compact set $E$ in a proper subdomain $\Omega$ of the complex plane, we denote the diameter of $E$ and the distance from $E$ to the boundary of $\Omega$ by $d(E)$ and $d(E,\partial\Omega),$ respectively. The quantity…

A homogeneous set of $n$ points in the $d$-dimensional Euclidean space determines at least $\Omega(n^{2d/(d^2+1)} / \log^{c(d)} n)$ distinct distances for a constant $c(d)>0$. In three-space, we slightly improve our general bound and show…

Let $\Omega$ be an open set in a geodesically complete, non-compact, $m$-dimen-sional Riemannian manifold $M$ with non-negative Ricci curvature, and without boundary. We study the heat flow from $\Omega$ into $M-\Omega$ if the initial…

We introduce and study the notion of \emph{equivariant homotopic distance} $D_G(f,g)$ between $G$-maps $f,g \colon X \to Y$. We show that the equivariant Lusternik-Schnirelmann category and the equivariant topological complexity are…

Let $\Phi$ be a flow on a smooth, compact, finite-dimensional manifold $M$. Consider the subsets $E(\Phi)$ and $D(\Phi)$ of $C^{\infty}(M,M)$ consisting of smoothh mappings and diffeomorphisms (respectively) of $M$ preserving the foliation…

Let $\Omega$ be a domain in a smooth complete Finsler manifold, and let $G$ be the largest open subset of $\Omega$ such that for every $x$ in $G$ there is a unique closest point from $\partial \Omega$ to $x$ (measured in the Finsler…

Let $(M,g)$ be a closed Riemannian manifold, and let $F:M \to \mathbb{R}$ be a smooth function on $M$. We show the following holds generically for the function $F$: for each maximum $p$ of $F$, there exist two minima, denoted by $m_+(p)$…

In this paper, we establish a result for existence and uniqueness of stochastic differential equations on Riemannian manifolds, for regular inhomogeneous tensor coefficients with stochastic drift, under geometrical hypothesis on the…

In this paper, we extend the Hamilton's gradient estimates \cite{har93} and a monotonicity formula of entropy \cite{ni04} for heat flows from smooth Riemannian manifolds to (non-smooth) metric measure spaces with appropriate Riemannian…

In this paper we study the Roe index of the signature operator of manifolds of bounded geometry. Our main result is the proof of the uniform homotopy invariance of this index. In other words we show that, given an orientation-preserving…

We extend the classical notion of the spherical depth in \mathbb{R}^k, to the important setup of data on a Riemannian manifold. We show that this notion of depth satisfies a set of desirable properties. For the empirical version of this…

Many important theorems in differential topology relate properties of manifolds to properties of their underlying homotopy types -- defined e.g. using the total singular complex or the \v{C}ech nerve of a good open cover. Upon embedding the…

We prove that oriented and standard shadowing properties are equivalent for topological flows on closed surfaces with the nonwandering set consisting of the finite number of critical elements (i.e., singularities or closed orbits).…
