In this article we introduce the notion of a k-almost-quasifibration and give many examples. We also show that a large class of these examples are not quasifibrations. As a consequence, supporting the Asphericity conjecture of [19], we…
We prove a special case of a dynamical analogue of the classical Mordell-Lang conjecture. In particular, let $\phi$ be a rational function with no superattracting periodic points other than exceptional points. If the coefficients of $\phi$…
Let X be a symmetric space of noncompact type and \Gamma a lattice in the isometry group of X. We study the distribution of orbits of \Gamma acting on the symmetric space X and its geometric boundary X(\infty). More precisely, for any y in…
The present paper concerns the dynamics of surface diffeomorphisms. Given a diffeomorphism $f$ of a surface $S$, the \emph{torsion} of the orbit of a point $z\in S$ is, roughly speaking, the average speed of rotation of the tangent vectors…
For a complex Lie group $G$ with a real form $G_0\subset G$, we prove that any Hamiltionian automorphism $\phi$ of a coadjoint orbit $\mathcal O_0$ of $G_0$ whose connected components are simply connected, may be approximated by holomorphic…
Let $M$ be a smooth compact surface, orientable or not, with boundary or without it, $P$ either the real line $R^1$ or the circle $S^1$, and $Diff(M)$ the group of diffeomorphisms of $M$ acting on $C^{\infty}(M,P)$ by the rule $h\cdot…
The aim of this paper is to formulate a local systolic inequality for odd-symplectic forms (also known as Hamiltonian structures) and to establish it in some basic cases. Let $\Omega$ be an odd-symplectic form on an oriented closed manifold…
We consider uniformly elliptic operators with Dirichlet or Neumann homogeneous boundary conditions on a domain $\Omega $ in ${\mathbb{R}}^N$. We consider deformations $\phi (\Omega)$ of $\Omega $ obtained by means of a locally Lipschitz…
It has been an open problem for about ten years whether every trajectory of a parabolic one-parameter semigroup in the unit disk tends to the Denjoy-Wolff point with a definite (and common for all trajectories) slope. In this paper, we give…
We study the asymptotic behaviour of isotropic and homogeneous universes in general scalar-tensor gravity theories containing a p=-rho vacuum fluid stress and other sub-dominant matter stresses. It is shown that in order for there to be…
Let $\Sigma$ be a hyperbolic surface. We study the set of curves on $\Sigma$ of a given type, i.e. in the mapping class group orbit of some fixed but otherwise arbitrary $\gamma_0$. For example, in the particular case that $\Sigma$ is a…
For Hamiltonian flows we establish the existence of periodic orbits on a sequence of level sets approaching a Bott-nondegenerate symplectic extremum of the Hamiltonian. As a consequence, we show that a charge on a compact manifold with a…
Let $X$ be a separable Hilbert space endowed with a non-degenerate centred Gaussian measure $\gamma$ and let $\lambda_1$ be the maximum eigenvalue of the covariance operator associated with $\gamma$. The associated Cameron--Martin space is…
We show that for elliptic parametric functionals whose Wulff shape is smooth and has strictly positive curvature, any surface with constant anisotropic mean curvature which is a topological sphere is a rescaling of the Wulff shape.
Let $G$ be a Lie group, $\Gamma\subset G$ a discrete subgroup, $X=G/\Gamma$, and $f$ an affine map from $X$ to itself. We give conditions on a submanifold $Z$ of $X$ guaranteeing that the set of points $x\in X$ with $f$-trajectories…
This paper deals with collisionless transport equations in bounded open domains $\Omega \subset \R^{d}$ $(d\geq 2)$ with $\mathcal{C}^{1}$ boundary $\partial \Omega $, orthogonally invariant velocity measure $\bm{m}(\d v)$ with support…
Let $M$ be a closed oriented surface and let $\Omega$ be a non-exact 2-form. Suppose that the magnetic flow $\phi$ of the pair $(g,\Omega)$ is Anosov. We show that the longitudinal KAM-cocycle of $\phi$ is a coboundary if and only the…
We study a quasisymmetric version of the classical Koebe uniformization theorem in the context of Ahlfors regular metric surfaces. In particular, we prove that an Ahlfors 2-regular metric surface X homeomorphic to a finitely connected…
We study the backward invariant set of one-parameter semigroups of holomorphic self-maps of the unit disc. Such a set is foliated in maximal invariant curves and its open connected components are petals, which are, in fact, images of…
We describe some sufficient conditions, under which smooth and compactly supported functions are or are not dense in the fractional Sobolev space $W^{s,p}(\Omega)$ for an open, bounded set $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{d}$. The density property…
