We use the version of the Lyapunov--Perron method operating on individual solutions to investigate the existence of invariant manifolds for non-autonomous dynamical systems, focusing in particular on inertial and stable manifolds. We…

The periodic orbit conjecture states that, on closed manifolds, the set of lengths of the orbits of a non-vanishing vector field all whose orbits are closed admits an upper bound. This conjecture is known to be false in general due to a…

We study smooth volume-preserving perturbations of the time-1 map of the geodesic flow $\psi_{t}$ of a closed Riemannian manifold of dimension at least three with constant negative curvature. We show that such a perturbation has equal…

We show that the time-1 map of an Anosov flow, whose strong-unstable foliation is $C^2$ smooth and minimal, is $C^2$ close to a diffeomorphism having positive central Lyapunov exponent Lebesgue almost everywhere and a unique physical…

We analyze the dichotomy between {\em sectional-Axiom A flows} (c.f. \cite{memo}) and flows with points accumulated by periodic orbits of different indices. Indeed, this is proved for $C^1$ generic flows whose singularities accumulated by…

In the present paper we give a positive answer to some questions posed by Viana on the existence of positive Lyapunov exponents for Hamiltonian linear differential systems. We prove that there exists an open and dense set of Hamiltonian…

We prove that for a generic $C^1$-diffeomorphism existence of a homoclinic class with periodic saddles of different indices (dimension of the unstable bundle) implies existence an invariant ergodic non-hyperbolic (one of the Lyapunov…

A {\em singular hyperbolic set} is a partially hyperbolic set with singularities (all hyperbolic) and volume expanding central direction \cite{MPP1}. We study connected, singular-hyperbolic, attracting sets with dense closed orbits {\em and…

We obtain a $C^1$-generic subset of the incompressible flows in a closed three-dimensional manifold where Pesin's entropy formula holds thus establishing the continuous-time version of \cite{T}. Moreover, in any compact manifold of…

We prove for a generic star vector field $X$ that, if for every chain recurrent class $C$ of $X$ all singularities in $C$ have the same index, then the chain recurrent set of $X$ is singular hyperbolic. We also prove that every Lyapunov…

We prove the stability of the critical hypersurfaces associated with the three-dimensional general relativistic Poynting-Robertson effect. The equatorial ring configures to be as a stable attractor and the whole critical hypersurface as a…

We prove that every sectional-hyperbolic Lyapunov stable set contains a nontrivial homoclinic class.

For every $r\in\mathbb{N}_{\geq 2}\cup\{\infty\}$, we prove a $C^r$-orbit connecting lemma for dynamically coherent and plaque expansive partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms with 1-dimensional orientation preserving center bundle. To be…

In this paper, we report several new geometric and Lyapunov characterizations of incrementally stable systems on Finsler and Riemannian manifolds. A new and intrinsic proof of an important theorem in contraction analysis is given via the…

We consider issues associated with the Lagrangian characterisation of flow structures arising in aperiodically time-dependent vector fields that are only known on a finite time interval. A major motivation for the consideration of this…

The coexistence of singularities and regular orbits in chain transitive sets has been a major obstacle in understanding the hyperbolic/partial hyperbolic nature of robust dynamics. Notably, the vector fields with all periodic orbits…

We establish the existence and finiteness of equilibrium states for a class of partially hyperbolic endomorphisms. In our first result, we assume that the central direction is simple. In the second result, we consider the case where there…
