We show that subanalytic bi-Lipschitz homeomorphisms in general does not preserve the multiplicities of real analytic sets.

Let $\sigma_q : \mathbb{R}^q \to {\bf S}^q \setminus N_q$ be the inverse of the stereographic projection with centre the north pole $N_q$. Let $W_i$ be a closed subset of $\mathbb{R}^{q_i}$, for $i=1,2$. Let $\Phi:W_1 \to W_2$ be a…

We prove that if there exists a bi-Lipschitz homeomorphism (not necessarily subanalytic) between two subanalytic sets, then their tangent cones are bi-Lipschitz homeomorphic. As a consequence of this result, we show that any Lipschitz…

We show that a topological symplectic manifold has a canonically associated bi-Lipschitz structure. As a corollary, we obtain the first examples of non-existence and non-uniqueness for topological symplectic structures. Our arguments hold…

We prove that any diffeomorphism of the sphere S^n to itself can be decomposed into bi-Lipschitz mappings of small isometric distortion and which move points a small amount in the spherical metric.

We describe some dynamical properties of one parameter families of billiards on convex curves (ovals) which are deformed by the curvature (curve-shortening) flow. We obtain the bifurcations of the period two orbits and some special…

We show that in analytic sub-Riemannian manifolds of rank 2 satisfying a commutativity condition spiral-like curves are not length minimizing near the center of the spiral. The proof relies upon the delicate construction of a competing…

We study conditions under which a piecewise affine mapping has the Lipschitz shadowing property. As an application, we show that there exists a homeomorphism with a nonisolated fixed point having the Lipschitz shadowing property.

We consider orthogonal decompositions of invariant subspaces of Hardy spaces, these relate to the Blaschke based phase unwinding decompositions. We prove convergence in Lp. In particular we build an explicit multiscale wavelet basis. We…

We prove that a closed manifold which admits a symplectic-Lipschitz structure has non-vanishing even-degree cohomology groups with real coefficients. In particular, spheres $S^{2n}, n \geq 2$ do not admit symplectic-Lipschitz structures.

Let $X\subset \mathbb{C}^n; Y\subset \mathbb{C}^m$ be closed affine varieties and let $\phi: X\to Y$ be an algebraic bi-Lipschitz homeomorphism. Then ${\rm deg}\ X={\rm deg}\ Y.$ Similarly, let $(X,0)\subset (\mathbb{C}^n,0), (Y,0)\subset…

We show that any pseudo-Anosov map that is a lift of pseudo-Anosov homeomorphism of a nonorientable surface has vanishing SAF invariant. We also provide a criterion to certify that a pseudo-Anosov map is not such a lift.

We show that for each fixed non-constant complex polynomial $P$ of the plane there exists a homeomorphism $h$ such that $P\circ h$ is a Lipschitz quotient mapping. This corrects errors in the construction given earlier by Johnson et. al.…

We characterize the cyclic branched covers of the 2-sphere where every homeomorphism of the sphere lifts to a homeomorphism of the covering surface. This answers a question that appeared in an early version of the erratum of Birman and…

We prove that the "slit carpet" introduced by Merenkov does not admit a bi-Lipschitz embedding into any uniformly convex Banach space. In particular, this includes any Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$, but also spaces such as $L^p$ for $p \in…

These notes focus on the Lipschitz geometry of sets that are definable in o-minimal structures (expanding the real field). We show that every set which is definable in a polynomially bounded o-minimal structure admits a stratification which…

We study deformations of graded braided bialgebras using cohomological methods. In particular, we show that many examples of Nichols algebras, including the finite-dimensional ones arising in the Andruskiewitsch-Schneider program of…

The Decomposition Problem in the class $LIP(\mathbb{S}^2)$ is to decompose any bi-Lipschitz map $f:\mathbb{S}^2 \to \mathbb{S}^2$ as a composition of finitely many maps of arbitrarily small isometric distortion. In this paper, we construct…

We show that bi-Lipschitz conjugacies between non singular one dimensional systems are forced to be smooth, at least in the minimal (and ergodic) case. This is however far from being true in the non minimal case. These results clarify a…

Let $n\ge 2$, let $\mathcal{R}_n$ be the graph consisting of one vertex and $n$ loops and let $\mathcal{R}_{n^-}$ be its Cuntz splice. Let $L_n=L(\mathcal{R}_n)$ and $L_{n^-}=L(\mathcal{R}_{n^-})$ be the Leavitt path algebras over a unital…
