We study the dynamics of a generic endomorphism $f$ of an Oka-Stein manifold $X$. Such manifolds include all connected linear algebraic groups and, more generally, all Stein homogeneous spaces of complex Lie groups. We give several…
We show that Out(G) is residually finite if G is a one-ended group that is hyperbolic relative to virtually polycyclic subgroups. More generally, if G is one-ended and hyperbolic relative to proper residually finite subgroups, the group of…
We construct measures of maximal $u$-entropy for any partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism that factors over an Anosov torus automorphism and has mostly contracting center direction. The space of such measures has a finite dimension, and its…
We study the dynamics of the one-dimensional quasi-affine map $x\mapsto \left\lfloor \lambda x +\mu \right\rfloor$, providing a complete description of the map's periodic points, and of the limit points of every $x\in\mathbb{R}$ under the…
Let $E$ be a linear space and suppose that $A$ is the global attractor of either (i) a homeomorphism $F:E\rightarrow E$ or (ii) a semigroup $S(\cdot)$ on $E$ that is injective on $A$. In both cases $A$ has trivial shape, and the dynamics on…
We show that if the complexity difference function p(n+1)-p(n) of a infinite minimal shift is bounded, then the the automorphism group of the one-sided shift is finite, and the automorphism group of the corresponding two-sided shift "modulo…
In holomorphic dynamics, complex box mappings arise as first return maps to well-chosen domains. They are a generalization of polynomial-like mapping, where the domain of the return map can have infinitely many components. They turned out…
The symmetric group S_n acts as a reflection group on CP^{n-2} (for $n\geq 3$) . Associated with each of the $\binom{n}{2}$ transpositions in S_n is an involution on CP^{n-2} that pointwise fixes a hyperplane--the mirrors of the action. For…
We study $C^r$ ($5 \le r \le \infty$) diffeomorphisms on closed manifolds of dimension at least three with a heteroclinic cycle between two hyperbolic periodic points. At each point, the unstable direction is one dimensional, and the stable…
For any finite dimensional C^*-algebra A with a trace vector \vec s whose entries are rational numbers, we give an endomorphism \Phi of the hyperfinite II_1 factor R such that: for all k \in \mathbb {N}, \Phi^k (R)' \cap R= \otimes^k A. The…
We examine invariant nonrecurrent Fatou components of automorphisms of $\mathbb{C}^2$ in the case where all limit maps are constant. We show that except in special cases there cannot be more than one such limit map. We also briefly examine…
It is well known that the dynamical behavior of a rational map $f:\widehat{\mathbb C}\to \widehat{\mathbb C}$ is governed by the forward orbits of the critical points of $f$. The map $f$ is said to be postcritically finite if every critical…
We investigate some general questions in algebraic dynamics in the case of generic endomorphisms of projective spaces over a field of characteristic zero. The main results that we prove are that a generic endomorphism has no non-trivial…
In this paper, we study the attracting basins of the origin in C^(k+1) for the polynomial lifts of Lattes examples. We show that their boundaries are obtained as quotient of a spherical hypersurface and we explicit the singularities that…
We prove that, in stable families of endomorphisms of $\mathbb{P}^k(\mathbb{C})$, all invariant measures whose measure-theoretic entropy is strictly larger than $(k-1)\log d$ at a given parameter can be followed holomorphically with the…
The invariant class under parabolic and near-parabolic renormalizations constructed by Inou and Shishikura has been proved to be extremely useful in recent years. It leads to several important progresses on the dynamics of certain…
Let $X$ be a compact metric space and $f:X\to X$ a homeomorphism on $X$. We construct a fundamental domain for the set with finite peaks for each cocycle induced by $\phi\in C(X,R)$. In particular we prove that if a partially hyperbolic…
If totally periodic points are dense in a subshift $X$, its automorphism group is residually finite. We show a weak converse: if periodic points are not dense in a subshift $X$, then the automorphism group of $X \times Y$ is not residually…
We study rational functions satisfying summability conditions - a family of weak conditions on the expansion along the critical orbits. Assuming their appropriate versions, we derive many nice properties: There exists a unique, ergodic, and…
We study spectral behavior of the complex Laplacian on forms with values in the $k^{\text{th}}$ tensor power of a holomorphic line bundle over a smoothly bounded domain with degenerated boundary in a complex manifold. In particular, we…
