We show that for a contact Anosov flow on a compact manifold $ M $, the solutions to $ \partial_t u + X u = \nu \Delta u $, $ \nu > 0 $, where $ X $ is the generator of the flow and $ \Delta $, a (negative) Laplacian for some Riemannian…
We develop a new theory of maximizing sets in dynamical systems, for the study of ergodic optimization in systems with weak hyperbolicity but where the Ma\~n\'e cohomology lemma does not hold. This leads to new solutions of the Typical…
We consider the optimization problem of minimizing $\int_{\mathbb{R}^n}|\nabla u|^2\,\mathrm{d}x$ with double obstacles $\phi\leq u\leq\psi$ a.e. in $D$ and a constraint on the volume of $\{u>0\}\setminus\overline{D}$, where…

We prove that the dimension of every poset whose comparability graph has maximum degree $\Delta$ is at most $\Delta\log^{1+o(1)} \Delta$. This result improves on a 30-year old bound of F\"uredi and Kahn, and is within a $\log^{o(1)}\Delta$…
