We study topological properties of semi-group actions on the circle by orientation-preserving homeomorhisms. We prove that a generic action either possesses a forward-invariant interval-domain (i.e. a finite union of disjoint circle arcs),…

The lowest order Josephson coupling, $J_1(\theta)\cos(\phi)$, between two d-wave superconductors with phase-difference $\phi$ across the junction vanishes when their relative orientation is rotated by $\theta=\pi/4$. However, in the…

We show that if the gradient of $f:\RR^2\rightarrow\RR$ exists everywhere and is nowhere zero, then in a neighbourhood of each of its points the level set $\{x\in\RR^2:f(x)=c\}$ is homeomorphic either to an open interval or to the union of…

We consider two C^2 Anosov diffeomorphisms in a C^1 neighborhood of a linear hyperbolic automorphism of three dimensional torus with real spectrum. We prove that they are C^1+ conjugate if and only if the differentials of the return maps at…

Let $\pi : X\to \Lambda$ be a flat family of smooth complex projective varieties parameterized by a smooth quasi-projective variety $\Lambda$, and let $f: X\to X$ be a family of automorphisms with positive topological entropy. Suppose…

We prove that every C1 diffeomorphism away from homoclinic tangencies is entropy expansive, with locally uniform expansivity constant. Consequently, such diffeomorphisms satisfy Shub's entropy conjecture: the entropy is bounded from below…

Suppose that f and g are Markov surjections, each defined on a wedge of circles, each fixing the branch point and having the branch point as the only critical value. We show that if the points in the inverse limit spaces associated with f…

A rational pseudo-rotation $f$ of the torus is a homeomorphism homotopic to the identity with a rotation set consisting of a single vector $v$ of rational coordinates. We give a classification for rational pseudo-rotations with an invariant…

We study quadratic functionals on $L^2(\mathbb{R}^d)$ that generate seminorms in the fractional Sobolev space $H^s(\mathbb{R}^d)$ for $0 < s < 1$. The functionals under consideration appear in the study of Markov jump processes and,…

Let $\mathcal{M}$ be a compact metric space with no isolated points, and $f:\mathcal{M}\longrightarrow\mathcal{M}$ a homeomorphism. Consider a sequence of shrinking open balls $\{B^i_n\}_{n\in\mathbb{N}}^{i\in\mathbb{N}}$ with centers…

Let $\Diffeo=\Diffeo(\R)$ denote the group of infinitely-differentiable diffeomorphisms of the real line $\R$, under the operation of composition, and let $\Diffeo^+$ be the subgroup of diffeomorphisms of degree +1, i.e.…

We analyse the mixing profile of a random walk on a dynamic random permutation, focusing on the regime where the walk evolves much faster than the permutation. Two types of dynamics generated by random transpositions are considered: one…

The polynomial automorphisms of the affine plane have been studied a lot: if $f$ is such an automorphism, then either $f$ preserves a rational fibration, has an uncountable centralizer and its first dynamical degree equals $1$, or $f$…

For a prime p and base b, the digit function delta(r) = floor(br/p) partitions the residues {1, ..., p-1} into b contiguous bins. The collision count C(g) records how many residues share a bin with their image under multiplication by g. We…

We prove a special case of a dynamical analogue of the classical Mordell-Lang conjecture. In particular, let $\phi$ be a rational function with no superattracting periodic points other than exceptional points. If the coefficients of $\phi$…

We study a certain class circle maps which are constant on one interval (called flat piece), and such that the degrees of the singularities at the boundary of the flat piece are different. In this paper, we show that if the topological…

For the complex quadratic family $q_c:z\mapsto z^2+c$, it is known that every point in the Julia set $J(q_c)$ moves holomorphically on $c$ except at the boundary points of the Mandelbrot set. In this note, we present short proofs of the…

Recently a novel perturbative continuum limit for quantum gravity has been proposed and demonstrated to work at first order. Every interaction monomial $\sigma$ is dressed with a coefficient function $f^\sigma_\Lambda(\varphi)$ of the…

We study differentiability of topological conjugacies between expanding piecewise $C^{1+\epsilon}$ interval maps. If these conjugacies are not $C^1$, then they have zero derivative almost everywhere. We obtain the result that in this case…

Let f_1 and f_2 be affine maps of the N-th dimensional affine space over the complex numbers, i.e., f_i(x):=A_i x + y_i (where each A_i is an N-by-N matrix and y_i is a given vector), and let x_1 and x_2 be vectors such that x_i is not…
