In this paper we use fractal geometry to investigate boundary aspects of the first homology group for finite coverings of the modular surface. We obtain a complete description of algebraically invisible parts of this homology group. More…

Let M be a closed orientable Seifert fibered 3-manifold with a hyperbolic base 2-orbifold, or equivalently, admitting a geometry modeled on H^2 \times R or the universal cover of SL(2,R). Our main result is that the connected component of…

For a closed symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$ with compatible Riemannian metric $g$ we study the Sobolev $H^1$ geometry of the group of all $H^s$ diffeomorphisms on $M$ which preserve the symplectic structure. We show that, for sufficiently…

We consider closed hypersurfaces smoothly immersed in hyperbolic manifolds up to homotopy and commensurability. We prove that if a closed hyperbolic manifold $M$ contains a sequence of asymptotically geodesic hypersurfaces, then $\pi_1(M)$…

This paper continues our investigation of the dynamics of polynomial diffeomorphisms of C^2. We introduce a dynamical property of polynomial diffeomorphisms that generalizes hyperbolicity in the way that semi-hyperbolicity generalizes…

We show that C^r generically in the space of C^r conservative diffeomorphisms of a compact surface, every hyperbolic periodic point has a transverse homoclinic orbit

In this paper we study R-reversible area-preserving maps f on a two-dimensional Riemannian closed manifold M, i.e. diffeomorphisms f such that Ro f=f^{-1}o R where R is an isometric involution on M. We obtain a C1-residual subset where any…

Let $M$ and $N$ be two closed $C^{\infty}$ manifolds and let $\text{Diff}_c(M)$ denote the group of $C^{\infty}$ diffeomorphisms isotopic to the identity. We prove that any (discrete) group homomorphism between $\text{Diff}_c(M)$ and…

For a compact $(2n+1)$-dimensional smooth manifold, let $\mu_M : B Diff_\partial (D^{2n+1}) \to B Diff (M)$ be the map that is defined by extending diffeomorphisms on an embedded disc by the identity. By a classical result of Farrell and…

We consider diffeomorphisms $f$ with heterodimensional cycles of co-index two, associated with saddles $P$ and $Q$ having unstable indices $\ell$ and $\ell+2$, respectively. In a partially hyperbolic setting, where a two-dimensional center…

The aim of this article is twofold: First we study holomorphic germs of parabolic diffeomorphisms of $(\mathbb{C}^2,0)$ that are reversed by a holomorphic reflection and posses an analytic first integral with non-degenerate critical point…

Let $M$ be a two dimensional complex manifold, $p \in M $ and \Fl a germ of holomorphic foliation of \M at $p$. Let $S\subset M$ be a germ of an irreducible, possibly singular, curve at $p$ in $M$ which is a separatrix for \Fl. We prove…

We describe a canonical procedure for associating to any (germ of) holomorphic self-map f of C^n fixing the origin such that df_O is invertible and non-diagonalizable an n-dimensional complex manifold M, a holomorphic map p from M to C^n, a…

In this paper we obtain two criteria of stable ergodicity outside the partially hyperbolic scenario. In both criteria, we use a weak form of hyperbolicity called chain-hyperbolicity. It is obtained one criterion for diffeomorphisms with…

We give a complete diffeomorphism classification of 1-connected manifolds (of dimension different from 4) whose integral homology is H(M)=Z+Z+Z.

Denote by $\DC(M)_0$ the identity component of the group of the compactly supported $C^r$ diffeomorphisms of a connected $C^\infty$ manifold $M$. We show that if $\dim(M)\geq2$ and $r\neq \dim(M)+1$, then any homomorphism from $\DC(M)_0$ to…

We study the deformations of a holomorphic symplectic manifold $M$, not necessarily compact, over a formal ring. We show (under some additional, but mild, assumptions on $M$) that the coarse deformation space exists and is smooth,…

We show that on a totally disconnected compact metric space every separating homeomorphisms is expansive except at periodic points. We conclude that minimal separating homeomorphisms are expansive and that every separating homeomorphism has…

We study partially hyperbolic homoclinic classes of $C^1$-generic diffeomorphisms with a one-dimensional central bundle, so that the central Lyapunov exponent $\chi^c(\mu)$ is well defined for any ergodic measure $\mu$ supported on the…

For a Heegaard surface F in a closed orientable 3-manifold M, H(M,F) = Diff(M)/Diff(M,F) is the space of Heegaard surfaces equivalent to the Heegaard splitting (M,F). Its path components are the isotopy classes of Heegaard splittings…
