We give a condition for a function to produce a M\"obius invariant weighted inner product on the tangent space of the space of knots, and show that some kind of M\"obius invariant knot energies can produce M\"obius invariant and…

We investigate the existence of wandering Fatou components for polynomial skew-products in two complex variables. In 2004 the non-existence of wandering domains near a super-attracting invariant fiber was shown in [8]. In 2014 it was shown…

We prove ergodicity in a class of skew-product extensions of interval exchange transformations given by cocycles with logarithmic singularities. This, in particular, gives explicit examples of ergodic $\mathbb{R}$-extensions of minimal…

We show that the cohomological invariant $r^\sharp$, introduced in [1] as a lower bound for the off-diagonal holonomy dimension of metric connections with totally skew torsion on product manifolds, predicts the behaviour of the torsion…

In this paper we introduce the notion of degree for $C^1$-cocycles over irrational rotations on the circle with values in the group SU(2). It is shown that if a $C^1$-cocycle $\phi:S^1\to SU(2)$ over an irrational rotation by $\alpha$ has…

The paper provides a link between ergodic theory and symplectic topology. A classical notion of ergodic theory is a skew product map associated with a loop in a group of transformations. We study skew products which come from loops in the…

We provide a class of separable II$_1$ factors $M$ whose central sequence algebra is not the "tail" algebra associated to any decreasing sequence of von Neumann subalgebras of $M$. This settles a question of McDuff \cite{Mc69d}.

We show that if $y=(y_n)_{n\ge 1}$ is a bounded sequence with zero average along every infinite arithmetic progression then for every $N\ge 2$ there exist (unilateral or bilateral) subshifts $\Sigma$ over $N$ symbols, with entropy…

Let $\M$ be a type ${\rm II_1}$ factor and let $\tau$ be the faithful normal tracial state on $\M$. In this paper, we prove that given finite elements $X_1,\cdots X_n \in \M$, there is a finite decomposition of the identity into $N \in…

We construct a class of rank-one infinite measure-preserving transformations such that for each transformation $T$ in the class, the cartesian product $T\times T$ of the transformation with itself is ergodic, but the product $T\times…

In this paper we address the existence and ergodicity of non-hyperbolic attracting sets for a certain class of smooth endomorphisms on the solid torus. Such systems allow a formulation as a skew product system defined by planar…

We give a heuristic method to solve explicitly for an absolutely continuous invariant measure for a piecewise differentiable, expanding map of a compact subset $I$ of Euclidean space $R^d$. The method consists of constructing a skew product…

We construct exponential maps for which the singular value tends to infinity under iterates while the maps are ergodic. This is in contrast with a result of Lyubich from 1987 which tells that $e^z$ is not ergodic.

We study the tensor product $W$ of any number of "elementary" irreducible modules $V_1,...,V_k$ over the Yangian of the general linear Lie algebra. Each of these modules is determined by a skew Young diagram and a complex parameter. For any…

We augment the method of $C^\infty$ conjugation approximation with explicit estimates on the conjugacy map. This allows us to construct ergodic volume preserving diffeomorphisms measure-theoretically isomorphic to any apriori given…

Our objective is to illuminate the global structure of non-orientable manifolds with signature-changing metrics, with particular emphasis on global topological obstructions. Using explicit geometric constructions based on the topology of…

The theory of ergodic optimization for distance-expanding maps is extended to Gauss's continued fraction map. Since the set of invariant probability measures is not weak$^*$ closed, we establish a characterisation of the closure of this…

Let G be a complex, affine algebraic group and D a meromorphic connection on the trivial G-bundle over P^1, with a pole of order 2 at zero and a pole of order 1 at infinity. We show that the map S taking the residue of D at zero to the…

In this paper we introduce and explore the notion of rigidity group, associated with a collection of finitely many sequences, and show that this concept has many, somewhat surprising characterizations of algebraic, spectral, and unitary…

By using the concept of weight graph associated to certain nilpotent Lie algebras $\frak{g}$, we find necessary and sufficient conditions for a semidirect product $\frak{g}\oplus T_{i}$, where $T_{i}<T$ is a subalgebra of a maximal torus of…
