In this series of two articles, we prove that every action of a finite group $G$ on a finite and contractible $2$-complex has a fixed point. The proof goes by constructing a nontrivial representation of the fundamental group of each of the…

We consider the homotopical dynamics on compact orientable surfaces of positive genus g. We establish a sufficient and necessary algebraic criterion for homotopy classes with infinitely many periodic points of maps on such surfaces in terms…

We investigate fixed-point properties of automorphisms of groups similar to R. Thompson's group $F$. Revisiting work of Gon\c{c}alves-Kochloukova, we deduce a cohomological criterion to detect infinite fixed-point sets in the…

The aim of this short note is to explain how the arguments of the "closing lemma with time control" of F. Abdenur and S. Crovisier (arXiv:1111.4206) can be used to answer Question 1 of the article "Instability for the rotation set of…

We extend to binary relational systems the notion of compact and normal structure, introduced by J.P.Penot for metric spaces, and we prove that for the involutive and reflexive ones, every commuting family of relational homomorphisms has a…

In this short note, we study the bordism problem for group actions on the torus and give examples of groups acting on the torus by diffeomorphisms isotopic to the identity that cannot be extended to an action on a bounding 3-manifold. This…

We obtain sufficient criteria for endomorphisms of torsion-free nilpotent groups of finite rank to be automorphisms, by considering the induced maps on the torsion-free abelianisation and the centre. Whilst these results are known in the…

We prove two general decomposition theorems for fixed-point invariants: one for the Lefschetz number and one for the Reidemeister trace. These theorems imply the familiar additivity results for these invariants. Moreover, the proofs of…

We prove a general form of the regularity theorem for uniformity norms, and deduce an inverse theorem for these norms which holds for a class of compact nilspaces including all compact abelian groups, and also nilmanifolds; in particular we…

We prove:(1) the existence, for every integer n > 3, of a noncompact smooth n-dimensional topological manifold whose diffeomorphism group contains an isomorphic copy of every finitely presented group; (2) a finiteness theorem on finite…

We prove that for any compact toric symplectic manifold, if a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism admits more fixed points, counted homologically, than the total Betti number, then it has infinitely many simple periodic points. This provides a vast…

Let $M^{2d}$ be a compact symplectic manifold and $T$ a compact $n$-dimensional torus. A Hamiltonian action, $\tau$, of $T$ on $M$ is a GKM action if, for every $p \in M^T$, the isotropy representation of $T$ on $T_pM$ has pair-wise…

In this paper we show that every homeomorphism of the plane with the topological shadowing property has a fixed point. Also, we show that a linear isomorphism of an Euclidean space has the topological shadowing property if and only if the…

We prove the existence of common fixed points for commuting homeomorphisms of the plane R^2 or the sphere S^2, which preserve a probability measure. For example: some commuting C^1-diffeomorphisms of S^2, which are sufficiently close to the…
