A study of rational maps of the real or complex projective plane of degree two or more, concentrating on those which map an elliptic curve onto itself, necessarily by an expanding map. We describe relatively simple examples with a rich…
We consider the geometric join of a family of subsets of the Euclidean space. This is a construction frequently used in the (colorful) Carath\'eodory and Tverberg theorems, and their relatives. We conjecture that when the family has at…
A reduction of properties (invariants) of compact sets of real numbers to properties of countable orders is presented here. Discussed here is also an embedding property of some compact sets that are called t$\mathbb R$-sets. Among others,…
We show that a sectional-hyperbolic attracting set for a H\"older-$C^1$ vector field admits finitely many physical/SRB measures whose ergodic basins cover Lebesgue almost all points of the basin of topological attraction. In addition, these…
We construct open sets of degenerate unfoldings of heterodimensional cycles of any co-index $c>0$ and homoclinic tangencies of arbitrary codimension $c>0$. These sets are known to be the support of unexpected phenomena in families of…
We establish two results under which the topology of a hyperbolic set constrains ambient dynamics. First if a set is a compact, transitive, expanding hyperbolic attractor of codimension 1 for some diffeomorphism, then it is a union of…
We study $d$-dimensional simplicial complexes that are PL embeddable in $\mathbb{R}^{d+1}$. It is shown that such a complex must satisfy a certain homological condition. The existence of this obstruction allows us to provide a systematic…
It is known that sectional-hyperbolic attracting sets, for a $C^2$ flow on a finite dimensional compact manifold, have at most finitely many ergodic physical invariant probability measures. We prove an upper bound for the number of distinct…
In this article we survey, and make a few new observations about, the surprising connection between sub-monoids of mapping class groups and interesting geometry and topology in low-dimensions.
We give examples of endomorphisms in dimension one with infinite topological entropy which are $\alpha$-H\"older and $(1,p)$-Sobolev for all $0\leq\alpha<1$ and $1\leq p<\infty$. This is constructed within a family of endomorphisms with…
The paper considers systems of contraction similarities in $\mathbb R^d$ sending a given polyhedron $P$ to polyhedra $P_i\subset P$, whose non-empty intersections are singletons and contain the common vertices of those polyhedra, while the…
Let f be a holomorphic endomorphism of P^k having an attracting set A. We construct an attracting current and an equilibrium measure associated to A. The attracting current is weakly laminar and extremal in the cone of invariant currents.…
We consider a certain two-parameter family of automorphisms of the affine plane over a complete, locally compact non-Archimedean field. Each of these automorphisms admits a chaotic attractor on which it is topologically conjugate to a full…
Let $T$ be a positive closed current of unit mass on the complex projective space $\mathbb P^n$. For certain values $\alpha<1$, we prove geometric properties of the set of points in $\mathbb P^n$ where the Lelong number of $T$ exceeds…
Let $E$ be a linear space and suppose that $A$ is the global attractor of either (i) a homeomorphism $F:E\rightarrow E$ or (ii) a semigroup $S(\cdot)$ on $E$ that is injective on $A$. In both cases $A$ has trivial shape, and the dynamics on…
We consider piecewise expanding maps of the interval with finitely many branches of monotonicity and show that they are generically combinatorially stable, i.e., the number of ergodic attractors and their corresponding mixing periods do not…
Let $k$ be a field and $V$ an $k$-vector space. For a family $\bar P=\{ P_i\}_{1\leq i\leq c}, $ of polynomials on $V$, we denote by $\mathbb X _{\bar P}\subset V$ the subscheme defined by the ideal generated by $ \bar P$. We show the…
It is well known that topological classification of dynamical systems with hyperbolic dynamics is significantly defined by dynamics on nonwandering set. F. Przytycki generalized axiom $A$ for smooth endomorphisms that was previously…
We give a complete characterization of compact sets with positive reach (=proximally $C^1$ sets) in the plane and of one-dimensional sets with positive reach in ${\mathbb R}^d$. Further, we prove that if $\emptyset \neq A\subset{\mathbb…
A toroidal set is a compactum $K \subseteq \mathbb{R}^3$ which has a neighbourhood basis of solid tori. We study the topological entropy of toroidal attractors $K$, bounding it from below in terms of purely topological properties of $K$. In…
