We show that every compact aspherical Sasakian manifold with nilpotent fundamental group is diffeomorphic to a Heisenberg nilmanifold.

We build an example of a non-transitive, dynamically coherent partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism $f$ on a closed $3$-manifold with exponential growth in its fundamental group such that $f^n$ is not isotopic to the identity for all $n\neq…

We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a closed smooth 6-manifold N to be diffeomorphic to a product of a surface F and a simply connected 4-manifold M in terms of basic invariants like the fundamental group and cohomological data.…

We show that if a hyperbolic 3-manifold admits a partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism then it also admits an Anosov flow. Moreover, we give a complete classification of partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism in hyperbolic 3-manifolds as well as…

We show that if a partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism of a Seifert manifold induces a map in the base which has a pseudo-Anosov component then it cannot be dynamically coherent. This extends work of Bonatti, Gogolev, Hammerlindl and Potrie…

We explore the notion of two-sided limit shadowing property introduced by Pilyugin \cite{P1}. Indeed, we characterize the $C^1$-interior of the set of diffeomorphisms with such a property on closed manifolds as the set of transitive Anosov…

We show that there are no Anosov actions by (n-1)-dimensional unimodular Lie groups on closed n-dimensional manifolds.

We prove that if the stable foliation and the unstable foliation of an Anosov diffeomorphism on a connected compact manifold are $C^3$, then the diffeomorphism has fixed points. This is a partial positive answer to a Smale conjecture for…

We classify closed, simply connected $n$-manifolds of non-negative sectional curvature admitting an isometric torus action of maximal symmetry rank in dimensions $2\leq n\leq 6$. In dimensions $3k$, $k=1,2$ there is only one such manifold…

We provide a general argument for the failure of Anosov-Katok-like constructions (as in \cite{AFKo2015} and \cite{NKInvDist}) to produce Cohomologically Rigid diffeomorphisms in manifolds other than tori. A $C^{\infty }$ smooth…

We show that a closed non-orientable $3$-manifold admits a positive scalar curvature metric if and only if its orientation double cover does; however, for each $4\le n\le 7$, there exist infinitely many smooth non-orientable $n$-manifolds…

We prove for $n\in\{3,4,5\}$ that the connected sum of a closed aspherical $n$-manifold with an arbitrary non-compact manifold does not admit a complete metric with nonnegative scalar curvature. In particular, a special case of our result…

In the paper, we construct compact embedded $\lambda$-hypersurfaces which are diffeomorphic to a sphere and are not isometric to a standard sphere. Hence, one can not expect to have Alexandrov type theorem for $\lambda$-hypersurfaces.

In a conservative and partially hyperbolic three-dimensional setting, we study three representative classes of diffeomorphisms: those homotopic to Anosov (or Derived from Anosov diffeomorphisms), diffeomorphisms in neighborhoods of the…

This paper is part 1 of a series of papers culminating in the result that measure preserving diffeomorphisms of the disc or 2-torus are unclassifiable. It also addresses another classical problem: which abstract measure preserving systems…

Let f be a volume-preserving diffeomorphism of a closed C^\infty n-dimensional Riemannian manifold M: In this paper, we prove the equivalence between the following conditions: (a) f belongs to the C1-interior of the set of volume-preserving…

We prove that a structurally stable diffeomorphism of a closed (2m+1)-manifold has no codimension one non-orientable expanding attractors.

We show that the fundamental groups of smooth $4$-manifolds that admit geometric decompositions in the sense of Thurston have asymptotic dimension at most four, and equal to 4 when aspherical. We also show that closed $3$-manifold groups…

In this paper, we prove that any closed orientable 3-manifold $M$ other than $\#^k S^1\times S^2$ and $S^3$ satisfies the following properties: (1) For any compact orientable 4-manifold $N$ bounded by $M$, the inclusion does not induce an…

We show that extended graph 4-manifolds with positive Euler characteristic cannot support a complex structure. This result stems from a new proof of the fact that a closed real-hyperbolic 4-manifold cannot support a complex structure.…
