We prove a generalization of the Poincar\'e-Birkhoff theorem for the open annulus showing that if a homeomorphism satisfies a certain twist condition and the nonwandering set is connected, then there is a fixed point. Our main focus is the…

In this paper we investigate fixed-point numbers and entropies of endomorphisms on abelian varieties. It was shown quite recently that the number of fixed-points of an iterated endomorphism on a simple complex torus is either periodic or…

Suppose X is a (smooth projective irreducible algebraic) curve over a finite field k. Counting the number of points on X over all finite field extensions of k will not determine the curve uniquely. Actually, a famous theorem of Tate implies…

More than a century ago, L. E. J. Brouwer proved a famous theorem, which says that any orientation preserving homeomorphism of the plane having a periodic point must have a fixed point. In recent years, there are still some authors giving…

In this paper we investigate fixed-point numbers of endomorphisms on complex tori. Specifically, motivated by the asymptotic perspective that has turned out in recent years to be so fruitful in Algebraic Geometry, we study how the number of…

We study a wide class of topological free-fermion systems on a hypercubic lattice in spatial dimensions $d\ge 1$. When the Fermi level lies in a spectral gap or a mobility gap, the topological properties, e.g., the integral quantization of…

We study inverse limit spaces of tent maps, and the Ingram Conjecture, which states that the inverse limit spaces of tent maps with different slopes are non-homeomorphic. When the tent map is restricted to its core, so there is no ray…

If two Jordan curves in the plane have precisely one point in common, and there they do not properly cross, then the common point is called a {\em touching point}. The main result of this paper is a Crossing Lemma for simple curves: Let $X$…

In recent work of Kennard, Khalili Samani, and the last author, they generalize the Half-Maximal Symmetry Rank result of Wilking for torus actions on positively curved manifolds to $\mathbb{Z}_2$-tori with a fixed point. They show that if…

Macbeath gave a formula for the number of fixed points for each non-identity element of a cyclic group of automorphisms of a compact Riemann surface in terms of the universal covering transformation group of the cyclic group. We observe…

Mathematical analysis of the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) led to the development of a mathematical function, usually called the inconsistency index, which has the center role in measuring the inconsistency of the judgements in AHP.…

We prove a version of Smirnov type theorem and Charatheodory type theorem for a harmonic homeomorphism of the unit disk onto a Jordan surface with rectifiable boundary. Further we establish the classical isoperimetric inequality and…

In this work, our aim is to obtain conditions to assure polynomial approximation in Hilbert spaces $L^{2}(\mu)$, with $\mu$ a compactly supported measure in the complex plane, in terms of properties of the associated moment matrix to the…

This paper revisits the well-studied fixed point problem from a unified viewpoint of mathematical modeling and canonical duality theory, i.e. the original problem is first reformulated as a nonconvex optimization problem, its well-posedness…

We give a new proof of the Alexander-Wermer Theorem that characterizes the oriented curves in C^n which bound positive holomorphic chains, in terms of the linking numbers of the curve with algebraic cycles in the complement. In fact, we…

We study the relationship between free curves and periodic points for torus homeomorphisms in the homotopy class of the identity. By free curve we mean a homotopically nontrivial simple closed curve that is disjoint from its image. We prove…

We prove a general relative higher index theorem for complete manifolds with positive scalar curvature towards infinity. We apply this theorem to study Riemannian metrics of positive scalar curvature on manifolds. For every two metrics of…

We prove a generalization of the fixed point theorem of Cartwright and Littlewood. Namely, suppose $h : \mathbb{R}^2 \to\mathbb{R}^2$ is an orientation preserving planar homeomorphism, and let $C$ be a continuum such that $h^{-1}(C)\cup C$…

We extend Raimi's classical partition theorem to the continuous setting of the circle and $n$-dimensional torus. Building on recent work of Hegyv\'ari, Pach, and Pham in finite groups, we prove that there exist measurable partitions of the…

The study of the dynamics of a surface homeomorphism in the neighbourhood of an isolated fixed point leads us to the following results. If the fixed point index is greater than 1, a family of attractive and repulsive petals is constructed,…
