In this paper, we establish new geometric rigidity results through the study of Lyapunov exponent level sets via invariant measures. First, we prove that for a manifold $M$ without focal points, if the zero Lyapunov exponent level set has…

We consider random multimodal $C^3$ maps with negative Schwarzian derivative, defined on a finite union of closed intervals in $[0,1]$, onto the interval $[0,1]$ with the base space $\Omega$ and a base invertible ergodic map…

We present numerous natural algebraic examples without the so-called Canonical Base Property (CBP). We prove that every commutative unitary ring of finite Morley rank without finite-index proper ideals satisfies the CBP if and only if it is…

In this paper we continue our study of polynomial diffeomorphisms of C^2. Let us recall that there is an invariant measure $\mu$, which is the pluri-complex version of the harmonic measure of the Julia set for polynomial maps of C. In this…

In this article we establish $C^{3,\alpha}$-regularity of the reduced boundary of stationary points of a nonlocal isoperimetric problem in a domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$. In particular, stationary points satisfy the corresponding…

We give conditions that characterize the existence of an absolutely continuous invariant probability measure for a degree one $C^2$ endomorphism of the circle which is bimodal, such that all its periodic orbits are repelling, and such that…

We consider one-step cocycles of $2 \times 2$ matrices, and we are interested in their Lyapunov-optimizing measures, i.e., invariant probability measures that maximize or minimize a Lyapunov exponent. If the cocycle is dominated, that is,…

We associate to each non-degenerate smooth interval map a number measuring its global asymptotic expansion. We show that this number can be calculated in various different ways. A consequence is that several natural notions of nonuniform…

This paper concerns the existence of critical points for solutions to second order elliptic equations of the form $\nabla\cdot \sigma(x)\nabla u=0$ posed on a bounded domain $X$ with prescribed boundary conditions. In spatial dimension…

For each parameter $a>1$, the critical hyperbolic catenoid $\Sigma_a$ is a rotationally symmetric, free boundary minimal annulus in a geodesic ball $B^3(r(a))\subset\mathbb{H}^3$. The Morse index of $\Sigma_a$ is at least $4$ by Medvedev…

We prove that a class of one-dimensional maps with an arbitrary number of non-degenerate critical and singular points admits an induced Markov tower with exponential return time asymptotics. In particular the map has an absolutely…

We study the behaviour of a transcendental entire map $ f\colon \mathbb{C}\to\mathbb{C} $ on an unbounded invariant Fatou component $ U $, assuming that infinity is accessible from $ U $. It is well-known that $ U $ is simply connected.…

In this paper, we proved that for every $C^1$ star vector fields on three-dimensional manifolds, every ergodic hyperbolic invariant measure which is not supported on singularities can be approximated by periodic measures, and the Lyapunov…

We consider a class of piecewise smooth one-dimensional maps with critical points and singularities (possibly with infinite derivative). Under mild summability conditions on the growth of the derivative on critical orbits, we prove the…

We generalize Lyapunov's convexity theorem for classical (scalar-valued) measures to quantum (operator-valued) measures. In particular, we show that the range of a nonatomic quantum probability measure is a weak*-closed convex set of…

We show that a $C^1$-generic expanding map of the circle has no absolutely continuous invariant $\sigma$-finite measure.

In previous work, the author fully classified orbit closures in genus three with maximally many (four) zero Lyapunov exponents of the Kontsevich-Zorich cocycle. In this paper, we prove that there are no higher dimensional orbit closures in…

Let $M$ be a smooth compact manifold (maybe with boundary, maybe disconnected) of any dimension $d \ge 1$. We consider the set of $C^1$ maps $f:M\to M$ which have no absolutely continuous (with respect to Lebesgue) invariant probability…

Let $\mathcal{C}$ be the space of smooth metrics $g$ on a given compact manifold $M^{n}$ ($n\geq3$) with constant scalar curvature and unitary volume. The goal of this paper is to study the critical point of the total scalar curvature…

We study the Hausdorff dimension spectrum for Lyapunov exponents for a class of interval maps which includes several non-hyperbolic situations. We also analyze the level sets of points with given lower and upper Lyapunov exponents and, in…
