For a family of skew product endomorphisms on closed surface $f_{\phi}(x,y)=\big(l x\ , \ y+\phi(x)\big)$, where $l\in \mathbb{N}_{\geq 2}$ and $\phi: S^1\to \mathbb{R}$ is a $C^r\ (r>1)$ function, we get a dichotomy on the cohomology class…

Two fluid configurations along a flow are conjugate if there is a one parameter family of geodesics (fluid flows) joining them to infinitesimal order. Geometrically, they can be seen as a consequence of the (infinite dimensional) group of…

We give examples of $L^{1}$-functions that are essentially unbounded on every nonempty open subset of their domains of definition. We obtain such functions as limits of weighted sums of functions with the unboundedly increasing number of…

Families of symmetric simple random walks on Cayley graphs of Abelian groups with a bound on the number of generators are shown to never have sharp cut off in the sense of [1], [3], or [5]. Here convergence to the stationary distribution is…

Let $G/K$ be a Riemannian symmetric space of noncompact type, and let $\nu_{a_j}$, $j=1,...,r$ be some orbital measures on $G$ (see the definition below). The aim of this paper is to study the $L^{2}$-regularity (resp. $C^k$-smoothness) of…

Let $X$ and $G$ be compact Lie groups, $F_1:X\to X$ the time-one map of a $C^\infty$ measure-preserving flow, $\phi:X\to G$ a continuous function and $\pi$ a finite-dimensional irreducible unitary representation of $G$. Then, we prove that…

Let $M$ be a smooth connected orientable compact surface. Denote by $F(M,S^1)$ the space of all Morse functions $f:M\to S^1$ having no critical points on the boundary of $M$ and such that for every boundary component $V$ of $M$ the…

Two given orbits of a minimal circle homeomorphism $f$ are said to be geometrically equivalent if there exists a quasisymmetric circle homeomorphism identifying both orbits and commuting with $f$. By a well-known theorem due to Herman and…

One can describe isomorphism of two compact hyperbolic Riemann surfaces of the same genus by a measure-theoretic property: a chosen isomorphism of their fundamental groups corresponds to a homeomorphism on the boundary of the Poincar\'e…

We obtain a exponential large deviation upper bound for continuous observables on suspension semiflows over a non-uniformly expanding base transformation with non-flat singularities or criticalities, where the roof function defining the…

Let $d \geq 2$ and $d - 1 < s < d$. Let $\mu$ be a compactly supported Radon measure in $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ with finite $s$-energy. I prove that the radial projections $\pi_{x\sharp}\mu$ of $\mu$ are absolutely continuous with respect to…

Let M be a smooth connected compact surface, P be either the real line R^1 or the circle S^1. For a subset X of M denote by D(M,X) the group of diffeomorphisms of M fixed on X. In this note we consider a special class F of smooth maps…

A simple consequence of a theorem of Franks says that whenever a continuous map, $g$, is homotopic to angle doubling on the circle it is semiconjugate to it. We show that when this semiconjugacy has one disconnected point inverse, then the…

Criteria for piecewise linear circle homeomorphisms to be conjugate to a rigid rotation, $x\to x+\omega~({\rm mod}~1)$, with rational rotation number $\omega$ are given. The consequences of the existence of such maps in families of maps is…

Solutions of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation $H(x,-Du(x))=1$, with $H(\cdot,p)$ H\"older continuous and $H(x,\cdot)$ convex and positively homogeneous of degree 1, are shown to be locally semiconcave with a power-like modulus. An essential…

The classical $C^0$ linearization theorem for the non-autonomous differential equations states the existence of a $C^0$ topological conjugacy between the nonlinear system and its linear part. That is, there exists a homeomorphism…

We give a detailed construction of a proper C^2-smooth function on R^4 such that its Hamiltonian flow has no periodic orbits on at least one regular level set. This result can be viewed as a C^2-smooth counterexample to the Hamiltonian…

The helicity, or asymptotic linking number, is a functional of exact volume-preserving vector fields on 3-manifolds, invariant under volume-preserving transformations. It is known to exhibit remarkable uniqueness properties: many invariant…

It is an open question in smooth ergodic theory whether there exists a Hamiltonian disk map with zero topological entropy and (strong) mixing dynamics. Weak mixing has been known since Anosov and Katok first constructed examples in 1970.…
