Let $(X,\mu)$ be a standard probability space. An automorphism $T$ of $(X,\mu)$ has the weak Pinsker property if for every $\varepsilon > 0$ it has a splitting into a direct product of a Bernoulli shift and an automorphism of entropy less…

The ``Flux conjecture'' for symplectic manifolds states that the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms is C^1-closed in the group of all symplectic diffeomorphisms. We prove the conjecture for spherically rational manifolds and for those…

Let $M$ be a closed oriented $C^\infty$ manifold and $f$ a $C^\infty$ Anosov diffeomorphism on $M$. We show that if $M$ is the two torus $T^2$, then $f$ is conjugate to a hyperbolic automorphism of $T^2$, either by a $C^\infty$…

We present a dichotomy for surface homeomorphisms in the isotopy class of the identity. We show that, in the absence of a degenerate fixed point set, either there exists a uniform bound on the diameter of orbits of non-wandering points for…

We study order-preserving C^1-circle diffeomorphisms driven by irrational rotations with a Diophantine rotation number. We show that there is a non-empty open set of one-parameter families of such diffeomorphisms where the ergodic measures…

In this work we present an example of C^\infty-diffeomorphism of a compact 4-manifold such that it admits a global SRB measure \mu but for which the special ergodic theorem doesn't hold. Namely, for this transformation there exist a…

We show that the Continuum Hypothesis implies that for every $0<d_1\leq d_2<n$ the measure spaces $(\RR^n,\iM_{\iH^{d_1}},\iH^{d_1})$ and $(\RR^n,\iM_{\iH^{d_2}},\iH^{d_2})$ are isomorphic, where $\iH^d$ is $d$-dimensional Hausdorff measure…

We consider a random walk on a closed manifold $M$ driven by a probability measure $\mu$ on the space of $C^2$ diffeomorphisms. Provided $\mu$ has compact support, satisfies certain gap and pinching conditions, and is weak-$*$ close to a…

In this article we show that the braid type of a set of $1$-periodic orbits of a non-degenerate Hamiltonian diffeomorphism on a surface is stable under perturbations which are sufficiently small with respect to the Hofer metric $d_{\rm…

Let M be a compact manifold. We call a mapping f in C^r(M,M) an Artin-Mazur mapping if the number of isolated periodic points of f^n grows at most exponentially in n. Artin and Mazur posed the following problem: What can be said about the…

Let $M$ be an $m$-dimensional differentiable manifold with a nontrivial circle action ${\mathcal S}= {\lbrace S_t \rbrace}_{t \in\RR}, S_{t+1}=S_t$, preserving a smooth volume $\mu$. For any Liouville number $\a$ we construct a sequence of…

We prove that a unital completely positive map between finite-dimensional C*-algebras is a homomorphism if and only if it is completely entropy-nonincreasing, where the relevant notion of entropy is a variant of von Neumann entropy. This…

We prove that a $C^{\infty}$-generic area-preserving diffeomorphism of a closed, oriented surface admits a sequence of equidistributed periodic orbits. This is a quantitative refinement of the recently established generic density theorem…

In the present paper, we associate the techniques of the Lewy-Pinchuk reflection principle with the Behnke-Sommer continuity principle. Extending a so-called reflection function to a parameterized congruence of Segre varieties, we are led…

The main result of this paper is that every non-trivial Hamiltonian diffeomorphism of a closed oriented surface of genus at least one has periodic points of arbitrarily high period. The same result is true for S^2 provided the…

For any Tychonoff space $X$ let $C_p(X)$ (resp., $C^*_p(X)$) be the set of all continuous (resp., and bounded) functions on $X$ with the pointwise convergence topology. Given Tychonoff spaces $X$ and $Y$, Uspenskij \cite{us} proved that if…

In this article, we give an upper bound estimate for the quantitative loss of the upper semi-continuity of the metric entropy for $C^r\:(r>1)$ diffeomorphisms. Building on earlier entropy estimates and reparametrization methods, we optimize…

Let $f : M \rightarrow M$ be a Morse-Smale diffeomorphism defined on a compact and connected manifold without boundary. Let $C(M)$ denote the hyperspace of all subcontinua of M endowed with the Hausdorff metric and $C(f) : C(M) \rightarrow…

We study the $C^1$-topological properties of the subset of non-uniform hyperbolic diffeomorphisms in a certain class of $C^2$ partially hyperbolic symplectic systems which have bounded $C^2$ distance to the identity. In this set, we prove…
