We prove that minimal area-preserving flows locally given by a smooth Hamiltonian on a closed surface of any genus are typically (in the measure-theoretical sense) not mixing. The result is obtained by considering special flows over…
Given a graph drawn in the plane, the degenerate crossing number of the drawing is the number of points in the plane which are contained in the relative interior of at least two edges, where each edge is required to be drawn as a simple…
We study the asymptotical behaviour of iterates of piecewise contractive maps of the interval. It is known that Poincar\'e first return maps induced by some Cherry flows on transverse intervals are, up to topological conjugacy, piecewise…
There exist uniquely ergodic affine interval exchange transformations of [0,1] with flips having wandering intervals and such that the support of the invariant measure is a Cantor set.
Differential calculus on the space of asymptotically linear curves is developed. The calculus is applied to the vortex filament equation in its Hamiltonian description. The recursion operator generating the infinite sequence of commuting…
We show that each of Veech's original examples of translation surfaces with ``optimal dynamics'' whose trace field is of degree greater than two has non-periodic directions of vanishing SAF-invariant. Furthermore, we give explicit examples…
The dual of a map is a fundamental construction on combinatorial maps, but many other combinatorial objects also possess their notion of duality. For instance, the Tamari lattice is isomorphic to its order dual, which induces an involution…
In two fundamental classical papers, Masur and Veech have independently proved that the Teichmueller geodesic flow acts ergodically on each connected component of each stratum of the moduli space of quadratic differentials. It is therefore…
Directed graphs occur throughout statistical modeling of networks, and exchangeability is a natural assumption when the ordering of vertices does not matter. There is a deep structural theory for exchangeable undirected graphs, which…
A large class of initial-boundary value problems of linear evolution partial differential equations formulated on the half-line is analyzed via the unified transform method. In particular, explicit formulae are presented for the generalized…
We study a class of bifurcations generically occurring in dynamical systems with non-mutual couplings ranging from models of coupled neurons to predator-prey systems and non-linear oscillators. In these bifurcations, extended attractors…
We show the equivalence of two possible definitions of a rotational interval exchange transformation: by the first one, it is a first return map for a circle rotation onto a union of finite number of circle arcs, and by the second one, it…
It is often assumed that the most general transformation between two inertial reference frames is affine linear in their Cartesian coordinates, an assumption which is however not true. We provide a complete derivation of the most general…
We consider a class of endomorphisms which contains a set of piecewise partially hyperbolic skew-products with a non-uniformly expanding base map. The aimed transformation preserves a foliation which is almost everywhere uniformly…
The Arnoux-Rauzy systems are defined in \cite{ar}, both as symbolic systems on three letters and exchanges of six intervals on the circle. In connection with a conjecture of S.P. Novikov, we investigate the dynamical properties of the…
We study time-changes of unipotent flows on finite volume quotients of semisimple linear groups, generalising previous work by Ratner on time-changes of horocycle flows. Any measurable isomorphism between time-changes of unipotent flows…
Given a typical interval exchange transformation, we may naturally associate to it an infinite sequence of matrices through Rauzy induction. These matrices encode visitations of the induced interval exchange transformations within the…
Goos-Hanchen (GH) and Imbert-Fedorov (IF) shifts are lateral and transverse displacements of a wavepacket reflecting off a surface. A dramatic real-space manifestation of wavepacket phases, they have traditionally been analyzed in a model…
This paper investigates the algebraic and dynamical properties of the twisted cocycle, a $\mathrm{GL}(d, \mathbb{C})$-valued cocycle defined over the toral extension of the Zorich (Rauzy-Veech) renormalization for interval exchange…
Roth type irrational rotation numbers have several equivalent arithmetical characterizations as well as several equivalent characterizations in terms of the dynamics of the corresponding circle rotations. In this paper we investigate how to…
