We show that algebraic dynamical systems with entropy rank one have uniformly exponentially many periodic points in all directions.

If $f:\mathbb{R}^2\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^2$ is an orientation reversing fixed point free homeomorphism on the plane $\mathbb{R}^2$ with no unbounded orbit, then $f$ has infinitely many periodic orbits.

Let $X$ be a compact tree, $f$ be a continuous map from $X$ to itself, $End(X)$ be the number of endpoints and $Edg(X)$ be the number of edges of $X$. We show that if $n>1$ has no prime divisors less than $End(X)+1$ and $f$ has a cycle of…

Given any $f$ a locally finitely piecewise affine homeomorphism of $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ onto $\Delta \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ (for $d=3, 4$) such that $f\in W^{1,p}(\Omega, \mathbb{R}^d)$ and $f^{-1}\in W^{1,q}(\Delta, \mathbb{R}^d)$,…

Criteria for piecewise linear circle homeomorphisms to be conjugate to a rigid rotation, $x\to x+\omega~({\rm mod}~1)$, with rational rotation number $\omega$ are given. The consequences of the existence of such maps in families of maps is…

If a real analytic nonexpansive map on a polyhedral normed space has a nonempty fixed point set, then we show that there is an isometry from an affine subspace onto the fixed point set. As a corollary, we prove that for any real analytic…

We consider an exact magnetic flow on the tangent bundle of a closed surface. We prove that for almost every energy level $\kappa$ below the Ma\~n\'e critical value of the universal cover there are infinitely many periodic orbits with…

Let $\mathcal X$ be an infinite locally compact separable metric space with metric $\rho$ and let $f : \mathcal X \longrightarrow \mathcal X$ be a continuous weakly mixing map. Let $\beta = \sup \big\{ \rho(x, y): \{x, y \} \subset \mathcal…

We consider a specific piecewise rotation of the plane that is continuous on two half-planes, as studied by some authors like Boshernitzan, Goetz and Quas. If the angle belongs to the set $\{\frac{\pi}{2},\frac{2\pi}{3},\frac{\pi}{4}\}$, we…

We prove that for a large and important class of $C^1$ twist maps of the torus periodic and quasi-periodic orbits of a new type exist, provided that there are no rotational invariant circles (R.I.C's). These orbits have a non-zero…

Let $E = (E^0, E^1, r, s)$ be a topological graph with no sinks such that $E^0$ and $E^1$ are compact. We show that when $C^*(E)$ is finite, there is a natural isomorphism $C^*(E) \cong C(E^\infty) \rtimes \mathbb{Z}$, where $E^\infty$ is…

Define $\theta(x)=(x-1)/3$ if $x\geq 1$, and $\theta(x)=2x/(1-x)$ if $x<1$. We conjecture that the orbit of every positive rational number ends in 0. In particular, there does not exist any positive rational fixed point for a map in the…

We study the stable behaviour of discrete dynamical systems where the map is convex and monotone with respect to the standard positive cone. The notion of tangential stability for fixed points and periodic points is introduced, which is…

We consider families of multimodal interval maps with polynomial growth of the derivative along the critical orbits. For these maps Bruin and Todd have shown the existence and uniqueness of equilibrium states for the potential…

We prove the existence of 3-periodic orbits in a dynamical system associated to a Landen transformation previously studied by Boros, Chamberland and Moll, disproving a conjecture on the dynamics of this planar map introduced by the latter…

Let $f : [0, 1] \to [0, 1]$ be a piecewise expanding unimodal map of class $C^{k+1}$, with $k \geq 1$, and $\mu = \rho dx$ the (unique) SRB measure associated to it. We study the regularity of $\rho$. In particular, points $\mathcal{N}$…

Consider piecewise linear Lorenz maps on $[0, 1]$ of the following form \[ f_{a,b,c}(x)= {ll} ax+1-ac & x \in [0, c) b(x-c) & x \in (c, 1].\] We prove that $f_{a,b,c}$ admits an absolutely continuous invariant probability measure (acim)…

We give another proof that for every lambda >= beth_omega for every large enough regular kappa < beth_omega we have lambda^{[kappa]}= lambda, dealing with sufficient conditions for replacing beth_omega by aleph_omega. In section 2 we show…

In this paper we consider maps on the plane which are similar to quadratic maps in that they are degree 2 branched covers of the plane. In fact, consider for $\alpha$ fixed, maps $f_c$ which have the following form (in polar coordinates):…

We show that any ergodic measure for a piecewise monotonic map with positive metric entropy is approximated by periodic measures in the weak-* sense. This partially answers Hofbauer-Raith's conjecture.
