This is a survey on the local structure about a fixed point of discrete finite-dimensional holomorphic dynamical systems, discussing in particular the existence of local topological conjugacies to normal forms, and the structure of local…
We introduce a geometric construction which relates to the pentagram map much in the way that a logarithmic spiral relates to a circle. After introducing the construction, we establish some basic geometric facts about it, and speculate on…
An iterated function system $\Phi$ consisting of contractive similarity mappings has a unique attractor $F \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$ which is invariant under the action of the system, as was shown by Hutchinson [Hut]. This paper shows how the…
It is proved that whenever two aperiodic repetitive tilings with finite local complexity have homeomorphic tiling spaces, their associated complexity functions are asymptotically equivalent in a certain sense (which implies, if the…
A new method for constructing self-referential tilings of Euclidean space from a graph directed iterated function system, based on a combinatorial structure we call a pre-tree, is introduced. In the special case that we refer to as…
We present a modern proof of some extensions of the celebrated Hirsch-Pugh-Shub theorem on persistence of normally hyperbolic compact laminations. Our extensions consist of allowing the dynamics to be an endomorphism, of considering the…
The paper is devoted to an approach to the notion of the complex dilatation based on the following observations. (1) A natural measure of the distortion of the conformal structure by a real linear automorphism of the complex plane is the…
The system of a closed vortex filament is an integrable Hamiltonian one, namely, a Hamiltonian system with an infinite sequense of constants of motion in involution. An algebraic framework is given for the aim of describing differential…
These notes follow my articles [1, 6], and give some new important details. We propose here a new combinatorial method of encoding of measure spaces with measure preserving transformations, (or groups of transformations) in order to give…
Let $X$ be a compact metric space and let $f:X\rightarrow X$ be a homeomorphism on $X$. We show that if $f$ is both pointwise recurrent and expansive, then the dynamical system $(X, f)$ is topologically conjugate to a subshift of some…
I demonstrate that the chart based approach to the study of the global structure of Lorentzian manifolds induces a homeomorphism of the manifold into a topological space as an open dense set. The topological boundary of this homeomorphism…
Let P be an object such as tiling, Delone set and weighted Dirac comb. There corresponds a dynamical system to P, called the corresponding dynamical system. Such dynamical systems are geometric analogues of symbolic dynamics. It is…
We develop several combinatorial notions about laminations, some with clear implications for parameter space. We introduce a simplified class of laminations called finite dynamical laminations (FDL). In order to count FDL, we introduce…
In this paper, plane polynomial systems having a singular point attracting all orbits in positive time are classified up to topological equivalence. This is done by assigning a combinatorial invariant to the system (a so-called "feasible…
Planar polynomial automorphisms are polynomial maps of the plane whose inverse is also a polynomial map. A map is reversible if it is conjugate to its inverse. Here we obtain a normal form for automorphisms that are reversible by an…
With this contribution, we give a complete and comprehensive framework for modeling the dynamics of complex mechanical structures as port-Hamiltonian systems. This is motivated by research on the potential of lightweight construction using…
Using the cut-and-paste procedure, we construct static and dynamic plane symmetric wormholes by surgically grafting together two spacetimes of plane symmetric vacuum solutions with a negative cosmological constant. These plane symmetric…
Generic Hamiltonian systems have a mixed phase space, where classically disjoint regions of regular and chaotic motion coexist. We present an iterative method to construct an integrable approximation, which resembles the regular dynamics of…
Let M be an oriented compact 3-manifold and let T be a (loose) triangulation of M, with ideal vertices at the components of the boundary of M and possibly internal vertices. We show that any spin structure s on M can be encoded by extra…
We prove that a planar graph is generically rigid in the plane if and only if it can be embedded as a pseudo-triangulation. This generalizes the main result of math.CO/0307347 which treats the minimally generically rigid case. The proof…
