We develop a theory of projective Fraisse limits in the spirit of Irwin- Solecki. The structures here will additionally support dual semantics as in [Sl10, Sl12]. Let Y be a compact metrizable space and let G be a closed subgroup of…

We consider discrete dynamical systems whose phase spaces are compact metrizable countable spaces. In the first part of the article, we study some properties that guarantee the continuity of all functions of the corresponding Ellis…

The following well known open problem is answered in the negative: Given two compact spaces $X$ and $Y$ that admit minimal homeomorphisms, must the Cartesian product $X\times Y$ admit a minimal homeomorphism as well? A key element of our…

We call a dynamical system on a measurable metric space {\em measure-expansive} if the probability of two orbits remain close each other for all time is negligible (i.e. zero). We extend results of expansive systems on compact metric spaces…

We show that for every metrizable Choquet simplex $K$ and for every group $G$, which is infinite, countable, amenable and residually finite, there exists a Toeplitz $G$-subshift whose set of shift-invariant probability measures is affine…

Here are versions of the proofs of two classic theorems of combinatorial topology. The first is the result that piecewise linearly homeomorphic simplicial complexes are related by stellar moves. This is used in the proof, modelled on that…

We study a string-inspired dilaton cosmology in the Damour--Polyakov (DP) regime using dynamical-systems methods, aiming to make explicit how cosmological relaxation controls deviations from the equivalence principle. Working in the…

Many branches of theoretical and applied mathematics require a quantifiable notion of complexity. One such circumstance is a topological dynamical system - which involves a continuous self-map on a metric space. There are many notions of…

The complexity quasi-metric of Schellekens is a topological framework in which the asymmetry of computational comparisons -- ``$A$ is at most as fast as $B$'' carrying different information than ``$B$ is at most as slow as $A$'' -- is built…

Sharkovskii proved that the existence of a periodic orbit in a one-dimensional dynamical system implies existence of infinitely many periodic orbits. We obtain an analog of Sharkovskii's theorem for periodic orbits of shear homeomorphisms…

We develop a Ramsey-like theorem for subsets of the two and three-dimensional simplex. A generalization of the combinatorial theorem presented here to all dimensions would produce a new proof that $\textrm{Homeo}_+[0,1]$ is extremely…

In this paper, we first prove that the topological entropy of induced map of any distal homeomorphism of a compact metric space is null. Then we consider induced map $2^f$ of an arbitrary pointwise periodic homeomorphism $f:X\to X$ of a…

The Gauss-Minkowski correspondence in $\mathbb{R}^2$ states the existence of a homeomorphism between the probability measures $\mu$ on $[0,2\pi]$ such that $\int_0^{2\pi} e^{ix}d\mu(x)=0$ and the compact convex sets (CCS) of the plane with…

We introduce a discrete dynamical system on the integers, defined by moving a composite $m$ forward to $m+\pi(m)$ and a prime $p$ backward to $p-\mathrm{prevprime}(p)$. This map produces trajectories whose contraction properties are closely…

The Lefschetz fixed point theorem provides a powerful obstruction to the existence of minimal homeomorphisms on well-behaved spaces such as finite CW-complexes. We show that these obstructions do not hold for more general spaces. More…

This paper investigates topological reconstruction, related to the reconstruction conjecture in graph theory. We ask whether the homeomorphism types of subspaces of a space $X$ which are obtained by deleting singletons determine $X$…

We study homeomorphisms and the homeomorphism groups of compact metric spaces using the automorphism groups of projective Fra\"iss\'e limits. In our applications, we investigate the Polish group ${\rm Homeo}(P)$ of all homeomorphisms of the…

When the Poincar\'{e} map associated with a periodic orbit of a hybrid dynamical system has constant-rank iterates, we demonstrate the existence of a constant-dimensional invariant subsystem near the orbit which attracts all nearby…

Let $f$ be a chain mixing continuous onto mapping from the Cantor set onto itself.Let $g$ be an aperiodic homeomorphism on the Cantor set. We show that homeomorphisms that are topologically conjugate to g approximate $f$ in the topology of…

We decompose the K-theory space of a Waldhausen category in terms of its Dwyer-Kan simplicial localization. This leads to a criterion for functors to induce equivalences of K-theory spectra that generalizes and explains many of the criteria…
