Let $f$ be a homeomorphism of the closed annulus $A$ isotopic to the identity, and let $X\subset {\rm Int}A$ be an $f$-invariant continuum which separates $A$ into two domains, the upper domain $U_+$ and the lower domain $U_-$. Fixing a…

We obtain a new characterization for irrational numbers of constant type -- defined as irrationals with bounded partial quotients in their continued fraction expansion. The result is essential in the formulation of stability criteria for…

We consider special flows over the rotation on the circle by an irrational $\alpha$ under roof functions of bounded variation. The roof functions, in the Lebesgue decomposition, are assumed to have a continuous singular part coming from a…

Let $S$ be a closed surface of genus $g\geq 2$, furnished with a Borel probability measure $\lambda$ with total support. We show that if $f$ is a $\lambda$-preserving homeomorphism isotopic to the identity such that the rotation vector…

In this paper we consider torus homeomorphisms $f$ homotopic to Dehn twists. We prove that if the vertical rotation set of $f$ is reduced to zero, then there exists a compact connected essential "horizontal" set K, invariant under $f$. In…

The present paper concerns the dynamics of surface diffeomorphisms. Given a diffeomorphism $f$ of a surface $S$, the \emph{torsion} of the orbit of a point $z\in S$ is, roughly speaking, the average speed of rotation of the tangent vectors…

We obtain sharp rotation bounds for the subclass of homeomorphisms $f:\mathbb{C}\to\mathbb{C}$ of finite distortion which have distortion function in $L^p_{loc}$, $p>1$, and for which a H\"older continuous inverse is available. The interest…

We study the rotational behaviour on minimal sets of torus homeomorphisms and show that the associated rotation sets can be any type of line segments as well as non-convex and even plane-separating continua. This shows that restrictions…

In this article we consider homeomorphisms of the open annulus $\mathbb{A}=\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}\times \mathbb{R}$ which are isotopic to the identity and preserve a Borel probability measure of full support, focusing on the existence of…

The bounded orbit conjecture says that every homeomorphism on the plane with each of its orbits being bounded must have a fixed point. Brouwer's translation theorem asserts that the conjecture is true for orientation preserving…

Let $f$ be an orientation preserving homeomorphism of $S^2$ which has a (nontrivial) continuum $X$ as a minimal set. Then there are exactly two connected components of $S^2\setminus X$ which are left invariant by $f$ and all the others are…

Let $f$ be a homeomorphism of the closed annulus $A$ that preserves orientation, boundary components and that has a lift $\tilde f$ to the infinite strip $\tilde A$ which is transitive. We show that, if the rotation number of both boundary…

We consider the family $f_{a,b}(x,y)=(y,(y+a)/(x+b))$ of birational maps of the plane and the parameter values $(a,b)$ for which $f_{a,b}$ gives an automorphism of a rational surface. In particular, we find values for which $f_{a,b}$ is an…

Let $A$ be an annulus in the plane $\mathbb R^2$ and $g:A\rightarrow A$ be a boundary components preserving homeomorphism which is distal and has no periodic points. Then there is a continuous decomposition of $A$ into $g$-invariant circles…

We provide a classification of minimal sets of homeomorphisms of the two-torus, in terms of the structure of their complement. We show that this structure is exactly one of the following types: (1) a disjoint union of topological disks, or…

We study the rotation sets for homeomorphisms homotopic to the identity on the torus $\mathbb T^d$, $d\ge 2$. In the conservative setting, we prove that there exists a Baire residual subset of the set $\text{Homeo}_{0, \lambda}(\mathbb…

For a twist map $f$ of the annulus preserving the Lebesgue measure, we give sufficient conditions to assure the existence of a set of positive measure of points with non-zero asymptotic torsion. In particular, we deduce that every bounded…

Let f be a homeomorphism of the torus isotopic to the identity and suppose that there exists a periodic orbit with a non-zero rotation vector (p/q,r/q), then f has a topologically monotone periodic orbit with the same rotation vector.

In this paper we consider $C^{1+\epsilon}$ area-preserving diffeomorphisms of the torus $f,$ either homotopic to the identity or to Dehn twists. We suppose that $f$ has a lift $\widetilde{f}$ to the plane such that its rotation set has…

We study topological conditions ensuring the presence of rotational chaos for non-wandering or area-preserving annular homeomorphisms. Compared to previous criteria, our main result provides a simpler alternative that avoids the need to…
