Let $f(z) = e^{2\pi i \alpha}z + O(z^2), \alpha \in \mathbb{R}$ be a germ of holomorphic diffeomorphism in $\mathbb{C}$. For $\alpha$ rational and $f$ of infinite order, the space of conformal conjugacy classes of germs topologically…

We consider Abelian-by-cyclic groups for which the cyclic factor acts by hyperbolic automorphisms on the Abelian subgroup. We show that if such a group acts faithfully by $C^1$ diffeomorphisms of the closed interval with no global fixed…

We prove that if the $m$-th homotopy group for $m \geq 2$ of a closed manifold has non-trivial invariants or coinvariants under the action of the fundamental group, then there exist infinitely many geometrically distinct closed geodesics…

We relate the Mather invariant of diffeomorphisms of the (closed) interval to their asymptotic distortion. For maps with only parabolic fixed points, we show that the former is trivial if and only if the latter vanishes. As a consequence,…

Intermittent dynamics is characterized by long periods of different types of dynamical characteristics, for instance almost periodic dynamics alternated by chaotic dynamics. Critical intermittency is intermittent dynamics that can occur in…

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…

In this paper, we study multi-rotation orbits on the unit circle. We obtain a natural generalization of a classical result which says that orbits of irrational rotations on the unit circle are dense. It is possible to show that this result…

A rational function of degree at least two with coefficients in an algebraically closed field is post-critically finite (PCF) if all of its critical points have finite forward orbit under iteration. We show that the collection of PCF…

We study rational self-maps of $\mathbb{P}^{1}$ whose critical points all have finite forward orbit. Thurston's rigidity theorem states that outside a single well-understood family, there are finitely many such maps over $\mathbb{C}$ of…

We consider order preserving $C^3$ circle maps with a flat piece, irrational rotation number and critical exponents $(\ell_1, \ell_2)$. We detect a change in the geometry of the system. For $(\ell_1, \ell_2) \in [1,2]^2$ the geometry is…

Let f be a class P -homeomorphism of the circle. We prove that there exists a piecewise analytic homeomorphism that conjugate f to a one-class P with prescribed break points lying on pairwise distinct orbits. As a consequence, we give a…

We extend some aspects of the smooth approximation by conjugation method to the real-analytic set-up and create examples of zero entropy, uniquely ergodic real-analytic diffeomorphisms of the two dimensional torus metrically isomorphic to…

The right conjugacy closed loops of order 2p, where p is an odd prime, are classified up to isomorphism.

Using pseudoholomorphic curves techniques from symplectic geometry, Barney Bramham proved recently that every smooth irrational pseudo-rotation of the unit disk is the limit, for the $C^0$ topology, of a sequence of smooth periodic…

A central question in dynamics is whether the topology of a system determines its geometry. This is known as rigidity. Under mild topological conditions rigidity holds for many classical cases, including: Kleinian groups, circle…

Following Favre, we define a holomorphic germ f:(C^d,0) -> (C^d,0) to be rigid if the union of the critical set of all iterates has simple normal crossing singularities. We give a partial classification of contracting rigid germs in…

In the study of holomorphic maps, the term "rigidity" refers to certain types of results that give us very specific information about a general class of holomorphic maps owing to the geometry of their domains or target spaces. Under this…

In this note, we prove a rigidity result for proper holomorphic maps between unit balls that have many symmetries and which extend to $\mathcal{C}^2$-smooth maps on the boundary.

We prove that, if two germs of plane curves $(C,0)$ and $(C',0)$ with at least one singular branch are equivalent by a (real) smooth diffeomorphism, then $C$ is complex isomorphic to $C'$ or to $\overline{C'}$. A similar result was shown by…

We prove that for a dense set of irrational numbers $\alpha$, the analytic centraliser of the map $e^{2\pi i \alpha} z+ z^2$ near $0$ is trivial. We also prove that some analytic circle diffeomorphisms in the Arnold family, with irrational…
