We assign to each nondegenerate Hamiltonian on a closed symplectic manifold a Floer-theoretic quantity called its "boundary depth," and establish basic results about how the boundary depths of different Hamiltonians are related. As…

In this paper, we present a $C^0$-fragmentation property for Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms. More precisely, it is known that for a given open covering $\mathcal{U}$ of a compact symplectic surface we can write each $C^0$-small enough…

In [15] the authors proved the Pugh-Shub conjecture for partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms with 1-dimensional center, i.e. stable ergodic diffeomorphism are dense among the partially hyperbolic ones. In this work we address the issue of…

We study $3$-dimensional partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms that are homotopic to the identity, focusing on the geometry and dynamics of Burago and Ivanov's center stable and center unstable \emph{branching} foliations. This extends our…

Let $f$ be a $C^{1+\alpha}$ diffeomorphism of a compact Riemannian manifold and $\mu$ an ergodic hyperbolic measure with positive entropy. We prove that for every continuous potential $\phi$ there exists a sequence of basic sets $\Omega_n$…

Let $M$ be a manifold with a volume form $\omega$ and $f : M \to M$ be a diffeomorphism of class $\mathcal{C}^1$ that preserves $\omega$. In this paper, we do \textit{not} assume $f$ is $\mathcal{C}^1$-generic. We have two main themes in…

We give a notion of entropy for general gemetric structures, which generalizes well-known notions of topological entropy of vector fields and geometric entropy of foliations, and which can also be applied to singular objects, e.g. singular…

We discuss recent progress in understanding the dynamical properties of partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms that preserve volume. The main topics addressed are density of stable ergodicity and stable accessibility, center Lyapunov…

We show that for the standard map family, for all values of the parameter, except one, the mapping has positive topological entropy. The main tool is the following result. Let $S$ be a compact connected orientable surface and $f:S…

Every open manifold L of dimension greater than one has complete Riemannian metrics g with bounded geometry such that (L,g) is not quasi-isometric to a leaf of a codimension one foliation of a closed manifold. Hence no conditions on the…

We define a norm on the homology of a foliated manifold, which refines and majorizes the usual Gromov norm on homology. This norm depends in an upper semi-continuous way on the underlying foliation, in the geometric topology, and can…

Let f be a holomorphic automorphism of positive entropy on a compact Kaehler surface. We show that the equilibrium measure of f is exponentially mixing. The proof uses some recent development on the pluripotential theory. The result also…

We study decay and compact support properties of positive and bounded solutions of $\Delta_{p} u \geq \Lambda(u)$ on the exterior of a compact set of a complete manifold with rotationally symmetry. In the same setting, we also give a new…

Given a Moebius homeomorphism $f : \partial X \to \partial Y$ between boundaries of proper, geodesically complete CAT(-1) spaces $X,Y$, and a family of probability measures $\{ \mu_x \}_{x \in X}$ on $\partial X$, we describe a continuous…

We characterize the maximal entropy measures of partially hyperbolic C^2 diffeomorphisms whose center foliations form circle bundles, by means of suitable finite sets of saddle points, that we call skeletons. In the special case of…

For a boundary-preserving partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism with interval central leaves, we completely characterize the $C^k$-robust transitivity $(k\geq 2)$ by boundary interconnection. As an application, if the boundary SRB measures…

We consider a counting problem in the setting of hyperbolic dynamics. Let $\phi_t : \Lambda \to \Lambda$ be a weak mixing hyperbolic flow. We count the proportion of prime periodic orbits of $\phi_t$, with length less than $T$, that satisfy…

We prove a number of identities relating the sofic entropy of a certain class of non-expansive algebraic dynamical systems, the sofic entropy of the Wired Spanning Forest and the tree entropy of Cayley graphs of residually finite groups. We…
