We introduce two tools, dynamical thickening and flow selectors, to overcome the infamous discontinuity of the gradient flow endpoint map near non-degenerate critical points. More precisely, we interpret the stable fibrations of certain…
Given $d \ge 1$, let $(A_i)_{i\ge 1}$ be a sequence of random $d\times d$ real matrices and $Q$ be a random vector in $\mathbb{R}^d$. We consider fixed points of multivariate smoothing transforms, i.e. random variables $X\in \mathbb{R}^d$…
We study a collection of polar self-propelled particles confined to a long two-dimensional channel. We write the coupled hydrodynamic equations of motion for density and polarisation order parameter. At two confined boundaries, density is…
We present a higher-dimensional version of the Poincar\'e-Birkhoff theorem which applies to Poincar\'e time maps of Hamiltonian systems. The maps under consideration are neither required to be close to the identity nor to have a monotone…
Two examples concerning an application of topology in the study of the dynamics of an inverted plain mathematical pendulum with a pivot point moving along a horizontal straight line are considered. The first example is an application of the…
In this paper, we prove a rigidity theorem for Poincar\'e-Einstein manifolds whose conformal infinity is a flat Euclidean space. The proof relies on analyzing the propagation of curvature tensors over the level sets of an adapted boundary…
In this paper we study a certain regularity property of Axiom A flows over basic sets related to diameters of balls in Bowen's metric, which we call regular distortion along unstable manifolds. The motivation to investigate the latter comes…
We give a new proof of Cartan's fixed point theorem using topological fixed point theory. For an odd dimensional, simply connected and complete manifold having non-positive curvature, we further prove that every isometry with finite order…
Three-dimensional particle tracking experiments were conducted in a turbulent boundary layer with friction Reynolds number $Re_\tau$ of 700 and 1300. Two finite size spheres with specific gravities of 1.003 (P1) and 1.050 (P2) and diameters…
The long-time behavior is one of the most fundamental properties of dynamical systems. Poincar\'e studied the Poisson stability to capture the property of whether points return arbitrarily near the initial positions. Birkhoff studied the…
Poincare's last geometric theorem (Poincare-Birkhoff Theorem) states that any area-preserving twist map of annulus has at least two fixed points. We replace the area-preserving condition with a weaker intersection property, which states…
A nonsmooth fold is where an equilibrium or limit cycle of a nonsmooth dynamical system hits a switching manifold and collides and annihilates with another solution of the same type. We show that beyond the bifurcation the leading-order…
We first study the dynamics of the geodesic flow of a meromorphic connection on a Riemann surface, and prove a Poincar\'e-Bendixson theorem describing recurrence properties and $\omega$-limit sets of geodesics for a meromorphic connection…
We introduce a notion of stability for non-autonomous Hamiltonian flows on two-dimensional annular surfaces. This notion of stability is designed to capture the sustained twisting of particle trajectories. The main Theorem is applied to…
We show that a non-wandering endomorphism of the torus with invertible linear part without invariant directions and for which the critical points are in some sense generic is transitive. This improves a result of Andersson by allowing…
In translation surfaces of finite area (corresponding to holomorphic differentials), directions of saddle connections are dense in the unit circle. On the contrary, saddle connections are fewer in translation surfaces with poles…
We investigate the global dynamics from a measure-theoretic perspective for smooth flows with invariant cones of rank k. For such systems, it is shown that prevalent (or equivalently, almost all) orbits will be pseudo-ordered or convergent…
Suppose that a closed surface $S \subseteq \mathbb{R}^3$ is an attractor, not necessarily global, for a discrete dynamical system. Assuming that its set of wild points $W$ is totally disconnected, we prove that (up to an ambient…
We study toplogical properties of attracting sets for automorphisms of $\mathbb{C}^k$. Our main result is that a generic volume preserving automorphism has a hyperbolic fixed point with a dense stable manifold. We prove the same result for…
It is shown that the Poincar\'e-Birkhoff fixed point theorem may be proven by extending the geometric approach originally devised by Henri Poincar\'e himself, along with several results from elementary differential topology. Beginning with…
