We prove that manifolds with complicated enough fundamental group admit measure-preserving homeomorphisms which have positive stable fragmentation norm with respect to balls of bounded measure.

We study the automorphisms group action on a bounded domain in $\CC^n$ having a boundary point that is exponentially flat. Such a domain typically has a compact automorphism group. Our results enable us to generate many new examples.

We define a family of diffeomorphism-invariant models of random connections on principal $G$-bundles over the plane, whose curvatures are concentrated on singular points. In a limit when the number of point grows whilst the singular…

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 study collections of exact Lagrangian submanifolds respecting some uniform Riemannian bounds, which we equip with a metric naturally arising in symplectic topology (e.g. the Lagrangian Hofer metric or the spectral metric). We exhibit…

We show that there exist infinite-dimensional quasi-flats in the compactly supported Hamiltonian diffeomorphism group of the Liouville domain, with respect to the spectral norm, if and only if the symplectic cohomology of this Liouville…

The real homology of a compact Riemannian manifold $M$ is naturally endowed with the stable norm. The stable norm on $H_1(M,\mathbb{R})$ arises from the Riemannian length functional by homogenization. It is difficult and interesting to…

The main goal of this paper is to give a unified treatment to many known cuplength estimates. As the base case, we prove that for $C^0$-perturbations of a function which is Morse-Bott along a closed submanifold, the number of critical…

Given a smooth compact manifold with boundary, we show that the subcomplex of the deformed de Rham complex consisting of eigenspaces of small eigenvalues of the Witten Laplacian is canonically isomorphic to the Thom-Smale complex…

We determine $\pi_*(BDiff_\partial(D^{2n})) \otimes \mathbb{Q}$ for $2n \geq 6$ completely in degrees $* \leq 4n-10$, far beyond the pseudoisotopy stable range. Furthermore, above these degrees we discover a systematic structure in these…

We study the dynamics of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms on convex symplectic manifolds. To this end we first establish the Piunikhin-Salamon-Schwarz isomorphism between the Floer homology and the Morse homology of such a manifold, and then use…

Let $\Omega$ be a bounded, convex domain in a separable Hilbert space. The authors prove a version of the theorem of Bun Wong, which asserts that if such a domain admits an automorphism orbit accumulating at a strongly pseudoconvex boundary…

In this paper we obtain exact normal forms with functional invariants for local diffeomorphisms, under the action of the symplectomorphism group in the source space. Using these normal forms we obtain exact classification results for the…

We prove that uniform hyperbolicity is invariant under topological conjugacy for dissipative polynomial automorphisms of C^2. Along the way we also show that a sufficient condition for hyperbolicity is that local stable and unstable…

In this paper we first apply the chain level Floer theory to the study of Hofer's geometry of Hamiltonian diffeomorphism group in the cases without quantum contribution: we prove that any quasi-autonomous Hamiltonian path on weakly exact…

We adapt the notion of a (relatively) definable subset of Aut(M) when M is a saturated model to the case Aut(M/A) when M is atomic and strongly omega-homogeneous over A. We discuss the existence and uniqueness of invariant measures on the…

For $d\geq 2$ and any norm on $\mathbb R^d$, we prove that there exists a set of $n$ points that spans at least $(\tfrac d2-o(1))n\log_2n$ unit distances under this norm for every $n$. This matches the upper bound recently proved by Alon,…

Extending well-known results on surfaces, we give bounds on the cohomological action of automorphisms of compact K\"ahler threefolds. More precisely, if the action is virtually unipotent we prove that the norm of $(f^n)^*$ grows at most as…

We answer a question of Liokumovich-Nabutovsky-Rotman showing that if D is a Riemannian 2-disc with boundary length L, diameter d and area A << d then D can be filled by a homotopy where the lengths of the intermediate curves are bounded by…

We determine the group of algebra automorphisms for the two-parameter quantized enveloping algebra $\V$. As an application, we prove that the group of Hopf algebra automorphisms for $\V$ is isomorphic to a torus of rank two.
