Topological complexity is a numerical homotopy invariant that measures the instability of motion planning in a space. To study the topological complexity of non-simply connected spaces, Costa and Farber introduced a cohomology class whose…

We prove that for a torus homeomorphism isotopic to the identity and with a lift whose rotation set is an interval, either every rational point in the rotation set is realized by a periodic orbit, or there exists an annular, essential,…

The theoretical and numerical understanding of the key concept of topological entropy is an important problem in dynamical systems. Most studies have been carried out on maps (discrete-time systems). We analyse a scenario of global changes…

This paper clarifies the main research methods and ideas of the thesis [1,2,4]. The special calculation process is also realized by corresponding computer algorithm. Finally, we introduce zero rows sum case and give the corresponding…

These are notes of a series of lectures on mirror symmetry and topological string theory given at the Mathematical Sciences Center at Tsinghua University. The N=2 superconformal algebra, its deformations and its chiral ring are reviewed. A…

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…

The notion of topological order (TO) can be defined through the characteristic ground state degeneracy of a system placed on a manifold with non-zero genus $g$, such as a torus. This ground state degeneracy has served as a key tool for…

If a map has k transitivity classes of vertices that are subject to the action of the automorphism group, it is said to be k-uniform. The classification of 1-uniform maps on the torus is known. In this article, we classify 2-uniform maps on…

For an action of a compact torus $T$ on a smooth compact manifold~$X$ with isolated fixed points the number $\frac{1}{2}\dim X-\dim T$ is called the complexity of the action. In this paper we study certain examples of torus actions of…

We consider a 2d permanent magnet synchronous machine operating in a sequence of static operating points coming from a drive cycle. We aim to find a rotor design which maximizes the efficiency defined as the quotient of input and output…

Characterizing accurately chaotic behaviors is not a trivial problem and must allow to determine the properties that two given chaotic invariant sets share or not. The underlying problem is the classification of chaotic regimes, and their…

Topological dynamics of cellular automata (CA), inherited from classical dynamical systems theory, has been essentially studied in dimension 1. This paper focuses on 2D CA and aims at showing that the situation is different and more…

We construct algorithms and topological invariants that allow us to distinguish the topological type of a surface, as well as functions and vector fields for their topological equivalence. In the first part we discus the main structures…

Complex systems often exhibit highly structured network topologies that reflect functional constraints. In this work, we investigate how, under varying combinations of system-wide selection rules and special agents, different classes of…

A groupoid is a small category in which each morphism has an inverse. A topological groupoid is a groupoid in which both sets of objects and morphisms have topologies such that all groupoid structure maps are continuous. The notion of…

For a vector field F on the Euclidean plane we construct, under certain assumptions on F, an ordered model-theoretic structure associated to the flow of F. We do this in such a way that the set of all limit cycles of F is represented by a…

We study the higher (sequential) topological complexity, a numerical homotopy invariant for the planar polygon spaces. For these spaces with a small genetic codes and dimension $m$, Davis showed that their topological complexity is either…

In Part I we gave a polynomial growth lower-bound for the number of nodal domains of a Hecke-Maass cuspform in a compact part of the modular surface, assuming a Lindel\"of hypothesis. That was a consequence of a topological argument and…

We discuss the dependence of set-valued dynamical systems on parameters. Under mild assumptions which are often satisfied for random dynamical systems with bounded noise and control systems, we establish the fact that topological…

An \emph{affine subtorus} of the compact torus $T=(S^1)^n$ is a translated copy of a Lie subgroup. Given a finite collection $T_1,\ldots, T_k$ of such subtori, and a prime $p$, we describe an explicit chain complex that calculates the group…
