In this paper, we establish a sufficient condition for a geodesic in a Riemannian manifold to be homogeneous, i.e. an orbit of an $1$-parameter isometry group. As an application of this result, we provide a new proof of the fact that every…

Let $X$ be a compact, geodesically complete, locally CAT(0) space such that the universal cover admits a rank one axis. Assume $X$ is not homothetic to a metric graph with integer edge lengths. Let $P_t$ be the number of parallel classes of…

In this article we introduce a gluing orbit property, weaker than specification, for both maps and flows. We prove that flows with the $C^1$-robust gluing orbit property are uniformly hyperbolic and that every uniformly hyperbolic flow…

In this paper we study the ergodic theory and thermodynamic formalism of the geodesic flow on non-compact pinched negatively curved manifolds. We consider two notions of entropy at infinity, the topological and the measure theoretic entropy…

Let S be an ergodic measure-preserving automorphism on a non-atomic probability space, and let T be the time-one map of a topologically weak mixing suspension flow over an irreducible subshift of finite type under a Holder ceiling function.…

Using the works of Ma\~n\'e \cite{Ma} and Paternain \cite{Pat} we study the distribution of geodesic arcs with respect to equilibrium states of the geodesic flow on a closed manifold, equipped with a $\mathcal{C}^{\infty}$ Riemannian…

Let $S$ be a compact surface of genus $\geq 2$ equipped with a metric that is flat everywhere except at finitely many cone points with angles greater than $2\pi$. We examine the geodesic flow on $S$ and prove local product structure for a…

In this paper we study the phenomenon of phase transitions for the geodesic flow on some geometrically finite negatively curved manifolds. We define a class of potentials going slowly to zero through the cusps of $M$ for which the pressure…

In this paper, we study the prototypical model of liquid-liquid phase separation, the Cahn-Hilliard functional, in a highly irregular setting. Specifically, we analyze potentials with low regularity vanishing on space-dependent wells. Under…

We exhibit orbits of the geodesic flow on a hyperbolic surface with at least one cusp such that every tubular neighborhood contains uncountably many distinct geodesic flow orbits. The proof relies on new phenomena, namely the existence of…

Using an approach due to Bowen, Franco showed that continuous expansive flows with specification have unique equilibrium states for potentials with the Bowen property. We show that this conclusion remains true using weaker non-uniform…

We give examples of rank one compact surfaces on which there exist recurrent geodesics that cannot be shadowed by periodic geodesics. We build rank one compact surfaces such that ergodic measures on the unit tangent bundle of the surface…

We prove that if $X|_\Lambda$ has the weak specification property robustly, where $\Lambda$ is an isolated set, then $\Lambda$ is a hyperbolic topologically mixing set and, as a consequence, if $X$ is a vector field that has the weak…

We construct topological invariants, called abstract weak orbit spaces, of flows and homeomorphisms on topological spaces, to describe both gradient dynamics and recurrent dynamics. In particular, the abstract weak orbit spaces of flows on…

For a geodesic flow on a negatively curved Riemannian manifold $M$ and some subset $A\subset T^1M$, we study the limit $A$-exceptional set, that is the set of points whose $\omega$-limit do not intersect $A$. We show that if the topological…

We study thermodynamic formalism of dynamical systems with non-uniform structure. Precisely, we obtain the uniqueness of equilibrium states for a family of non-uniformly expansive flows by generalizing Climenhaga-Thompson's orbit…

We consider $L^2$ minimizing geodesics along the group of volume preserving maps $SDiff(D)$ of a given 3-dimensional domain $D$. The corresponding curves describe the motion of an ideal incompressible fluid inside $D$ and are (formally)…

We introduce a new approach to prove the global existence and uniqueness of suitable weak solutions of the heat flow of harmonic mappings into CAT(0) metric spaces. Our method allows also to prove Lipschitz continuity in spatial variables…

In this paper, we prove that if the geodesic flow of a complete manifold without conjugate points with sectional curvatures bounded below by $-c^2$ is of Anosov type, then the constant of contraction of the flow is $\geq e^{-c}$. Moreover,…

We prove a nonstandard central limit theorem and weak invariance principle, with superdiffusive normalisation $(t\log t)^{1/2}$, for geodesic flows on a class of nonpositively curved surfaces with flat cylinder. We also prove that…
