In this paper we prove that in any analytic one-parameter family of twist maps of the annulus, homotopically invariant curves filled with periodic points corresponding to a given rotation number, either exist for all values of the…

In recent work, the authors developed a simple method of constructing topological spaces from certain well-behaved partially ordered sets -- those coming from sequences of relations between finite sets. This method associates a given poset…

Let $K$ be a global function field of characteristic $p$ and degree $D$ over $\mathbb F_{p}(t)$. We consider dynamical systems over the projective line $\mathbb P^1(K)$ defined by rational maps with at most one prime of bad reduction. The…

The joint degree matrix of a graph gives the number of edges between vertices of degree i and degree j for every pair (i,j). One can perform restricted swap operations to transform a graph into another with the same joint degree matrix. We…

We introduce an operator $\mathbf{S}$ on vector-valued maps $u$ which has the ability to capture the relevant topological information carried by $u$. In particular, this operator is defined on maps that take values in a closed submanifold…

A finite non-increasing sequence of positive integers $d = (d_1\geq \cdots\geq d_n)$ is called a degree sequence if there is a graph $G = (V,E)$ with $V = \{v_1,\ldots,v_n\}$ and $deg(v_i)=d_i$ for $i=1,\ldots,n$. In that case we say that…

Topological degrees of continuous mappings between manifolds of even dimension are studied in terms of index theory of pseudo-differential operators. The index formalism of non-commutative geometry is used to derive analytic integral…

We study singularities of constant positive Gaussian curvature surfaces and determine the way they bifurcate in generic 1-parameter families of such surfaces. We construct the bifurcations explicitly using loop group methods. Constant…

We explore the following problem: given a collection of creases on a piece of paper, each assigned a folding direction of mountain or valley, is there a flat folding by a sequence of simple folds? There are several models of simple folds;…

In this paper, we use affine surfaces to describe completely the real-time trajectories of a homogeneous vector field in $\mathbf{C}^{2}$. We prove the existence of a continuous "rotation number" in $\mathbf{C}^{2}$ which is constant along…

This paper considers how many conjugacy classes of reflections a map can have, under various transitivity conditions. It is shown that for vertex- and for face-transitive maps there is no restriction on their number or size, whereas…

Let $K$ be a number field, and $\varphi_{1},\ldots,\varphi_{g}\in K(t)$ be finitely many rational maps, each of degree at least $2$. We first show that for generic finite sets $\mathcal{A}_{1},\ldots,\mathcal{A}_{g}$ consisting entirely of…

Experiments observing the liquid surface in a vertically oscillating container have indicated that modeling the dynamics of such systems require maps that admit states at infinity. In this paper we investigate the bifurcations in such a…

In this paper, a method to construct topological template in terms of symbolic dynamics for the diamagnetic Kepler problem is proposed. To confirm the topological template, rotation numbers of invariant manifolds around unstable periodic…

We investigate the joint distribution of the vertex degrees in three models of random bipartite graphs. Namely, we can choose each edge with a specified probability, choose a specified number of edges, or specify the vertex degrees in one…

This continues the investigation of a combinatorial model for the variation of dynamics in the family of rational maps of degree two, by concentrating on those varieties in which one critical point is periodic. We prove some general results…

Call a periodic map $h$ on the closed orientable surface $\Sigma_g$ extendable if $h$ extends to a periodic map over the pair $(S^3, \Sigma_g)$ for possible embeddings $e: \Sigma_g\to S^3$. We determine the extendabilities for all…

The tent map family is arguably the simplest 1-parametric family of maps with non-trivial dynamics and it is still an active subject of research. In recent works the second author, jointly with J. Yorke, studied the graph and backward…

Topologies on algebraic and equational theories are used to define germ determined, near-point determined, and point determined rings of smooth functions, without requiring them to be finitely generated. It is proved, that any commutative…

We examine the itinerary of $0\in S^{1}=\R/\Z$ under the rotation by $\alpha\in\R\bs\Q$. The motivating question is: if we are given only the itinerary of 0 relative to $I\subset S^{1}$, a finite union of closed intervals, can we recover…
