Dynamical systems on an infinite translation surface with the lattice property are studied. The geodesic flow on this surface is found to be recurrent in all but countably many rational directions. Hyperbolic elements of the affine…

We prove that for every three-dimensional vector field, either it can be accumulated by Morse-Smale ones, or it can be accumulated by ones with a transverse homoclinic intersection of some hyperbolic periodic orbit in the $C^1$ topology.

We introduce a type of minimal surface in the pseudo-hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^{n,n}$ (with $n$ even) or $\mathbb{H}^{n+1,n-1}$ (with $n$ odd) associated to cyclic $\mathrm{SO}_0(n,n+1)$-Higg bundles. By establishing the infinitesimal…

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…

The existence of hyperbolic orbits is proved for a class of singular Hamiltonian systems with repulsive potentials by taking limit for a sequence of periodic solutions which are the minimizers of variational functional

We prove that there are no minimal hypersurfaces properly immersed in any region of the Euclidean space bounded by unstable minimal cones. We also prove the analogous result for $r$-minimal hypersurfaces.

By studying the weak closure of multidimensional off-diagonal self-joinings we provide a criterion for non-isomorphism of a flow with its inverse, hence the non-reversibility of a flow. This is applied to special flows over rigid…

We consider the ortho spectrum of hyperbolic surfaces with totally geodesic boundary. We show that in general the ortho spectrum does not determine the systolic length but that there are only finitely many possibilities. As a corollary we…

Let $M$ be a smooth compact surface of nonpositive curvature, with genus $\geq 2$. We prove the ergodicity of the geodesic flow on the unit tangent bundle of $M$ with respect to the Liouville measure under the condition that the set of…

We examine the asymptotics of the number of the closed trajectories $\gamma$ of hyperbolic flows $\phi_t$ whose primitive periods $T_{\gamma}$ lie in exponentially shrinking intervals $(x - e^{-\delta x}, x + e^{-\delta x}),\:\delta > 0,\:…

We prove polynomial decay of correlations for geodesic flows on a class of nonpositively curved surfaces where zero curvature only occurs along one closed geodesic. We also prove that various statistical limit laws, including the central…

We show that every 4-uniform hypergraph with $n$ vertices and minimum pair degree at least $(5/9+o(1))n^2/2$ contains a tight Hamiltonian cycle. This degree condition is asymptotically optimal.

Using results relating taut foliations and pseudo-Anosov flows, we find cusped hyperbolic 3-manifolds which are not the non-singular part of a pseudo-Anosov flow. In particular, we find the first examples of cusped hyperbolic 3-manifolds…

Patterned surfaces with large effective slip lengths, such as super-hydrophobic surfaces containing trapped gas bubbles, have the potential to greatly enhance electrokinetic phenomena. Existing theories assume either homogeneous flat…

We show that generic continuous linear cocycles over shifts and other zero-dimensional systems admit no quasiconformal orbits, thus providing a partial answer to a question of Nassiri, Rajabzadeh, and Reshadat. The proof relies on a new…

In this paper, we prove that finite-dimensional topological flows without fixed points and having a countable number of periodic orbits, have the small flow boundary property. This enables us to answer positively a question of Bowen and…

We use a weak mean curvature flow together with a surgery procedure to show that all closed hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{R}^4$ with entropy less than or equal to that of $\mathbb{S}^2\times \mathbb{R}$, the round cylinder in $\mathbb{R}^4$,…

Under certain assumptions on CAT(0) spaces, we show that the geodesic flow is topologically mixing. In particular, the Bowen-Margulis' measure finiteness assumption used in recent work of Ricks is removed. We also construct examples of…

In this paper, we give a precise meaning to the following fact, and we prove it: $C^1$-open and densely, all the non-hyperbolic ergodic measures generated by a robust cycle are approximated by periodic measures. We apply our technique to…

We construct examples of hyperbolic rational homology spheres and hyperbolic knot complements in rational homology spheres containing closed embedded totally geodesic surfaces.
