In this paper, the notion of measure complexity is introduced for a topological dynamical system and it is shown that Sarnak's M\"{o}bius disjointness conjecture holds for any system for which every invariant Borel probability measure has…
We have studied the dynamics and symmetries of a particle constrained to move in a torus knot. The Hamiltonian system turns out to be Second Class in Dirac's formulation and the Dirac brackets yield novel noncommutative structures. The…
We study the cohomology ring of the configuration space of unordered points in the two dimensional torus. In particular, we compute the mixed Hodge structure on the cohomology, the action of the mapping class group, the structure of the…
We compute the mapping class group action on cycles on the configuration space of the torus with one puncture, with coefficients in a local system arising in conformal field theory. This action commutes with the topological action of the…
The determinisation problem for min-plus (tropical) weighted automata was recently shown to be decidable. However, the proof is purely existential, relying on several non-constructive arguments. Our contribution in this work is twofold:…
A convenient measure of a map or flow's chaotic action is the topological entropy. In many cases, the entropy has a homological origin: it is forced by the topology of the space. For example, in simple toral maps, the topological entropy is…
We establish some upper and lower bounds of the rational topological complexity for certain classes of elliptic spaces. Our techniques permit us in particular to show that the rational topological complexity coincides with the dimension of…
Dissipative mechanical systems on the torus with a friction that is proportional to the velocity are modeled by conformally symplectic maps on the annulus, which are maps that transport the symplectic form into a multiple of itself (with a…
We consider rational varieties with a torus action of complexity one and extend the combinatorial approach via the Cox ring developed for the complete case in earlier work to the non-complete, e.g. affine, case. This includes in particular…
We construct examples of minimal and uniquely ergodic systems realizing all possible behaviors in the interplay of measurable and topological nilfactors. To build such examples, we adapt an idea that stems from Furstenberg's construction of…
A toric manifold is a compact non-singular toric variety equipped with a natural half-dimensional compact torus action. A torus manifold is an oriented, closed, smooth manifold of dimension $2n$ with an effective action of a compact torus…
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…
We study novel type of contributions to the entropy of the Maxwell system defined on a compact manifold such as torus. These new terms are not related to the physical propagating photons. Rather, these novel contributions emerge as a result…
A cohomology class u of a topological space X is atoroidal if its pullback to the torus vanishes for every map from a torus to X. Furthermore, X is atoroidally symplectic if there is an atoroidal cohomology class $u\in H^2(X;F)$ such that…
We show several properties related to the structure of the family of classes of two-dimensional periodic continued fractions. This approach to the study of the family of classes of nonequivalent two dimexsional periodic continued fractions…
We prove that the maximal infinite step pro-nilfactor $X_\infty$ of a minimal dynamical system $(X,T)$ is the topological characteristic factor in a certain sense. Namely, we show that by an almost one to one modification of $\pi:X…
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 (arXiv:2501.15657), we discused…
We define the topological multiplicity of an invertible topological system $(X,T)$ as the minimal number $k$ of real continuous functions $f_1,\cdots, f_k$ such that the functions $f_i\circ T^n$, $n\in\mathbb Z$, $1\leq i\leq k,$ span a…
