For a compact $(2n+1)$-dimensional smooth manifold, let $\mu_M : B Diff_\partial (D^{2n+1}) \to B Diff (M)$ be the map that is defined by extending diffeomorphisms on an embedded disc by the identity. By a classical result of Farrell and…
We prove three formulas for computing topological pressure of $C^1$-generic conservative diffeomorphism and show the continuity of topological pressure with respect to these diffeomorphisms. We prove for these generic diffeomorphisms that…
Let $\Sigma$ be a surface equipped with an area form. There is an long standing open question by Katok, which, in particular, asks whether every entropy-zero Hamiltonian diffeomorphism of a surface lies in the $C^0$-closure of the set of…
The main theme of the paper is the dynamics of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of ${\mathbb C}{\mathbb P}^n$ with the minimal possible number of periodic points (equal to $n+1$ by Arnold's conjecture), called here Hamiltonian pseudo-rotations.…
It is an open question in smooth ergodic theory whether there exists a Hamiltonian disk map with zero topological entropy and (strong) mixing dynamics. Weak mixing has been known since Anosov and Katok first constructed examples in 1970.…
We study the dynamics of area-preserving maps in a non-compact setting. We show that the $C^{\infty}$-closing lemma holds for area-preserving diffeomorphisms on a closed surface with finitely many points removed. As a corollary, a…
We show that under certain boundedness condition, a $C^{r}$ conservative irrational pseudo-rotations on $\mathbb{T}^2$ with a generic rotation vector is $C^{r-1}$-rigid. We also obtain $C^0$-rigidity for H\"older pseudo-rotations with…
We prove a $C^\infty$ closing lemma for Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of closed surfaces. This is a consequence of a $C^\infty$ closing lemma for Reeb flows on closed contact three-manifolds, which was recently proved as an application of…
Classical results by Poincar\'e and Denjoy show that two orientation-preserving $C^2$ diffeomorphisms of the circle are topologically conjugate if and only if they have the same rotation number. We show that there is no possibility of…
We prove that any minimal $2$-torus homeomorphism which is isotopic to the identity and whose rotation set is not just a point exhibits uniformly bounded rotational deviations on the perpendicular direction to the rotation set. As a…
We construct analytic symplectomorphisms of the cylinder or the sphere with zero or exactly two periodic points and which are not conjugated to a rotation. In the case of the cylinder, we show that these symplectomorphisms can be chosen…
We prove that a $C^{2+\alpha}$-smooth orientation-preserving circle diffeomorphism with rotation number in Diophantine class $D_\delta$, $0<\delta<\alpha\le1$, is $C^{1+\alpha-\delta}$-smoothly conjugate to a rigid rotation. We also derive…
In this paper we consider torus homeomorphisms $f$ homotopic to Dehn twists. We prove that if the vertical rotation set of $f$ is reduced to zero, then there exists a compact connected essential "horizontal" set K, invariant under $f$. In…
In this paper we introduce a new methodology for smooth rigidity of Anosov diffeomorphisms based on "matching functions." The main observation is that under certain bunching assumptions on the diffeomorphism the periodic cycle functionals…
We prove that there exists an open subset of the set of real-analytic Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of a closed surface in which diffeomorphisms exhibiting fast growth of the number of periodic points are dense. We also prove that there…
We prove that the Teichmueller disc stabilized by the Arnoux-Yoccoz pseudo-Anosov diffeomorphism contains at least two closed Teichmueller geodesics. This proves that the corresponding flat surface does not have a cyclic Veech group. In…
In this paper, we provide a new criterion for the stable transitivity of volume preserving finite generated group on any compact Riemannian manifold. As one of our applications, we generalised a result of Dolgopyat and Krikorian in…
In this note we describe a family of arguments that link the homotopy-type of a) the diffeomorphism group of the disc $D^n$, b) the space of co-dimension one embedded spheres in a sphere and c) the homotopy-type of the space of co-dimension…
In the present paper, we associate the techniques of the Lewy-Pinchuk reflection principle with the Behnke-Sommer continuity principle. Extending a so-called reflection function to a parameterized congruence of Segre varieties, we are led…
Suppose f is a C^{1+\epsilon} surface diffeomorphism with positive topological entropy. For every positive \delta strictly smaller than the topological entropy of f we construct an invariant Borel set E such that (a) f|E has a countable…
