A celebrated theorem in two-dimensional dynamics due to John Franks asserts that every area preserving homeomorphism of the sphere has either two or infinitely many periodic points. In this work we reprove Franks' theorem under the…
We consider C^r-diffeomorphisms of a compact smooth manifold having a pair of robust heterodimensional cycles where r is a positive integer or infinity. We prove that if certain conditions about the signatures of non-linearities and…
Let $S$ be a closed surface of genus $g\geq 1$, furnished with an area form $\omega$. We show that there exists an open and dense set ${\mathcal O_r}$ of the space of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of class $C^r$, $1\leq r\leq\infty$, endowed…
The goal of this article is two fold. First, using transcendental shift-like automorphisms of C^k, k > 2 we construct two examples of non-degenerate entire mappings with prescribed ranges. The first example exhibits an entire mapping of…
Area-preserving diffeomorphisms of a 2-disc can be regarded as time-1 maps of (non-autonomous) Hamiltonian flows on solid tori, periodic flow-lines of which define braid (conjugacy) classes, up to full twists. We examine the dynamics…
We construct a $C^\infty$ area-preserving diffeomorphism of the two-dimensional torus which is Bernoulli (in particular, ergodic) with respect to Lebesgue measure, homotopic to the identity, and has a lift to the universal covering whose…
Graphs triangulating the $2$-sphere are generically rigid in $3$-space, due to Gluck-Dehn-Alexandrov-Cauchy. We show there is a \emph{finite} subset $A$ in $3$-space so that the vertices of each graph $G$ as above can be mapped into $A$ to…
Let f be an entire function whose set of singular values is bounded and suppose that f has a Siegel disk such that f restricts to a homeomorphism of the boundary. We show that the Siegel disk is bounded. Using a result of Herman, we deduce…
We study the rational homotopy types of classifying spaces of automorphism groups of smooth simply connected manifolds of dimension at least five. We give dg Lie algebra models for the homotopy automorphisms and the block diffeomorphisms of…
We prove the absence of a mass gap and confinement in the Polyakov model with massless complex fermions in any representation of the gauge group. A $U(1)_{*}$ topological shift symmetry protects the masslessness of one dual photon. This…
Let S be a closed surface of genus g >= 2 and z in S a marked point. We prove that the subgroup of the mapping class group Map(S,z) corresponding to the fundamental group pi_1(S,z) of the closed surface does not lift to the group of…
We consider area--preserving diffeomorphisms on tori with zero entropy. We classify ergodic area--preserving diffeomorphisms of the 3--torus for which the sequence $\{Df^n\}_{n\in{\Bbb N}}$ has polynomial growth. Roughly speaking, the main…
Let $M$ be a smooth compact connected manifold of dimension $d\geq 2$, possibly with boundary, that admits a smooth effective $\mathbb{T}^2$-action $\mathcal{S}=\left\{S_{\alpha,\beta}\right\}_{(\alpha,\beta) \in \mathbb{T}^2}$ preserving a…
Meeks, P\'erez and Ros conjectured that a closed Riemannian $3$-manifold which does not admit any closed embedded minimal surface whose two-sided covering is stable, must be diffeomorphic to a quotient of the $3$-sphere. We give an…
We prove a H\"older-type inequality for Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms relating the $C^0$ norm, the $C^0$ norm of the derivative, and the Hofer/spectral norm. We obtain as a consequence that sufficiently fast convergence in Hofer/spectral…
The first main result is a topological rigidity theorem for complete immersed hypersurfaces of spherical space forms which extends similar results due to do Carmo/Warner, Wang/Xia and Longa/Ripoll. Under certain sharp conditions on the…
The entanglement entropy corresponding to a smooth region in general three-dimensional CFTs contains a constant universal term, $-F \subset S_{\text{EE}}$. For a disk region, $F|_{\rm disk}\equiv F_0$ coincides with the free energy on…
In the first part of this work we have established an efficient method to obtain a topological classification of locally discrete, finitely generated, virtually free subgroups of real-analytic circle diffeomorphisms. In this second part we…
The well-known Reifenberg theorem states that if a subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$ can be well approximated by $k$-planes at every point and every scale, then it is biH\"older homeomorphic to a $k$-disk. This article concerns a subset $S$ of…
We construct a finitely generated subgroup of $\text{Diff}^{\infty}(\mathbb{S}^3 \times \mathbb{S}^1)$ where every element is conjugate to an isometry but such that the group action itself is far from isometric (the group has "exponential…
