A polynomial with rational coefficients is said to be pure with respect to a rational prime $p$ if its Newton polygon has one slope. In this article, we prove that the number of irreducible factors of the $n$-th iterate of a pure polynomial…

Let $E$ be a real vector space with dual space $E^*$ and let $C\subset E$ be a convex subset with more than one point. Let $f : C\to\mathbb{R}$ be a function satisfying a mild stability property at 'flat' points of the (relative) boundary…

We present an argument for proving the existence of local stable and unstable manifolds in a general abstract setting and under very weak hyperbolicity conditions.

We show that if the rotation set of a homeomorphism of the torus is stable under small perturbations of the dynamics, then it is a convex polygon with rational vertices. We also show that such homeomorphisms are $C^0$-generic and have…

We show that a wide class of hypersurfaces in all dimensions are not stably rational. Namely, for all d at least about 2n/3, a very general complex hypersurface of degree d in P^{n+1} is not stably rational. The statement generalizes…

For piecewise-linear maps the stable and unstable manifolds of hyperbolic periodic solutions are themselves piecewise-linear. Hence compact subsets of these manifolds can be represented using polytopes (i.e. polygons, in the case of…

We show that if $X$ is a totally real $d$-dimensional manifold attached to a polynomially convex compact set $K$ in $\mathbb{C}^n$, $d<n$, then there are arbitrarily small perturbations $X'$ of $X$ such that $K\cup X'$ is polynomially…

Real-stable, Lorentzian, and log-concave polynomials are well-studied classes of polynomials, and have been powerful tools in resolving several conjectures. We show that the problems of deciding whether a polynomial of fixed degree is real…

Despite the invertible setting, Anosov endomorphisms may have infinitely many unstable directions. Here we prove, under transitivity assumption, that an Anosov endomorphism on a closed manifold $M,$ is either special (that is, every $x \in…

In the present paper we consider convection and cracking instabilities as well as their interplay. We develop a simple criterion to identify equations of state unstable to convection, and explore the influence of buoyancy on cracking (or…

For $C^1$ diffeomorphisms with continuous invariant splitting without domination, we prove the existence of (un)stable manifold under the hyperbolicity of invariant measures.

We prove Conjecture F from [VW12] which states that the complements of closures of certain strata of the symmetric power of a smooth irreducible complex variety exhibit rational homological stability. Moreover, we generalize this conjecture…

Let $(f_\lambda)_{\lambda\in \Lambda}$ be a holomorphic family of polynomial automorphisms of $\mathbb{C}^2$. Following previous work of Dujardin and Lyubich, we say that such a family is weakly stable if saddle periodic orbits do not…

We give an example of a symplectic manifold with a stable hypersurface such that nearby hypersurfaces are typically unstable.

The real homology of a compact, n-dimensional Riemannian manifold M is naturally endowed with the stable norm. The stable norm of a homology class is the minimal Riemannian volume of its representatives. If M is orientable the stable norm…

In this paper we discuss a couple of observations related to polynomial convexity. More precisely, (i) We observe that the union of finitely many disjoint closed balls with centres in $\cup_{\theta\in[0,\pi/2]}e^{i\theta}V$ is polynomially…

A multivariate polynomial is {\em stable} if it is nonvanishing whenever all variables have positive imaginary parts. We classify all linear partial differential operators in the Weyl algebra $\A_n$ that preserve stability. An important…

The paper presents methods of eigenvalue localisation of regular matrix polynomials, in particular, stability of matrix polynomials is investigated. For this aim a stronger notion of hyperstability is introduced and widely discussed. Matrix…

It was shown that in robustly transitive, partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms on three dimensional closed manifolds, the strong stable or unstable foliation is minimal. In this article, we prove ``almost all'' leaves of both stable and…

This is a short note proving that K\"ahler-Ricci solitons with $\dim H^{(1,1)}(M)\ge 2$ are linearly unstable. This extends the results of Cao-Hamilton-Ilmanen in the K\"ahler-Einstein case.
