In this article we prove a necessary and a sufficient condition for a finite subset of the special linear group to be dominated. These conditions are purely geometric in nature, as they only involve the trace and the eigenvectors of the…
In this paper we describe the $\epsilon$-isothermic surfaces in the pseudo-Euclidean 3-space and we obtain the pseudo-Calapso equation. In sequence, we classify the Dupin surfaces in pseudo-Euclidean 3-space having distinct principal…
We describe an algorithm which, given two essential curves on a surface $S$, computes their distance in the curve graph of $S$, up to multiplicative and additive errors. As an application, we present an algorithm to decide the…
Let $F',F$ be any two closed orientable surfaces of genus $g'>g\ge 1$, and $f:F\to F$ be any pseudo-Anosov map. Then we can "extend" $f$ to be a pseudo-Anosov map $f':F'\to F'$ so that there is a fiber preserving degree one map $M(F',f')\to…
The main result of this paper is a universal finiteness theorem for the set of all small dilatation pseudo-Anosov homeomorphisms, ranging over all surfaces. More precisely, we consider pseudo-Anosovs F:S to S with |chi(S)| log(lambda(F))…
An algorithm is proposed that solves two decision problems for pseudo-Anosov elements in the mapping class group of a surface with at least one marked fixed point. The first problem is the root problem: decide if the element is a power and…
We generalize some properties of surface automorphisms of pseudo-Anosov type. First, we generalize the Penner construction of a pseudo-Anosov homeomorphism and show that a symplectic automorphism which is constructed by our generalized…
In this paper we construct, for given any small positive number $\epsilon$ and given natural number $n$, and given any closed hyperbolic surface $M$, a closed hyperbolic covering surface $\widetilde{M}$, such that its $n$-th eigenvalue is…
Wajnryb proved that the mapping class group of a closed oriented surface is generated by two elements. We proved that the mapping class group is generated by two pseudo-Anosov elements. In particular, if the genus is greater than or equal…
We will discuss theoretical and experimental results concerning comparison of entropy of pseudo-Anosov maps and volume of their mapping tori. Recent study of Weil-Petersson geometry of the Teichm\"uller space tells us that they admit linear…
We consider eigenvalues of a quantized cat map (i.e. hyperbolic symplectic integer matrix), cut off in phase space to include a fixed point as its only periodic orbit on the torus. We prove a simple formula for the eigenvalues on both the…
We construct a real-analytic circle map for which the corresponding Perron-Frobenius operator has a real-analytic eigenfunction with an eigenvalue outside the essential spectral radius when acting upon $C^1$-functions.
The necessary and sufficient conditions are given for a sequence of complex numbers to be the periodic (or antiperiodic) spectrum of non-self-adjoint Dirac operator.
In this paper we investigate how many periodic attractors maps in a small neighbourhood of a given map can have. For this purpose we develop new tools which help to make uniform cross-ratio distortion estimates in a neighbourhood of a map…
Using expander graphs, we construct a sequence of smooth compact surfaces with boundary of perimeter N, and with the first non-zero Steklov eigenvalue uniformly bounded away from zero. This answers a question which was raised in [9]. The…
We give a quadratic-time algorithm to compute the stretch factor and the invariant measured foliations for a pseudo-Anosov element of the mapping class group. As input, the algorithm accepts a word (in any given finite generating set for…
We explicitly construct pseudo-Anosov maps on the closed surface of genus $g$ with orientable foliations whose stretch factor $\lambda$ is a Salem number with algebraic degree $2g$. Using this result, we show that there is a pseudo-Anosov…
The overlap Dirac operator at nonzero quark chemical potential involves the computation of the sign function of a non-Hermitian matrix. In this talk we present an iterative method, first proposed by us in Ref. [1], which allows for an…
We give a geometric condition on a compact subset of a complex manifold which is necessary and sufficient for the existence of a smooth strictly plurisubharmonic function defined in a neighbourhood of this set.
Necessary and sufficient conditions for a finite connected graph with a strict partial order on vertices to be a combinatorial invariant of pseudoharmonic function are obtained.
