A quadratic H\'enon map is an automorphism of $\C^2$ of the form $h:(x,y)\mapsto (\l^{1/2} (x^2+c)-\l y,x)$. It has a constant Jacobian equal to $\l$ and has two fixed points. If $\lambda$ is on the unit circle (one says $h$ is…

We prove a $C^1$ version of a conjecture by Pugh and Shub: among partially hyperbolic volume-preserving $C^r$ diffeomorphisms, $r>1$, the stably ergodic ones are $C^1$-dense. To establish these results, we develop new perturbation tools for…

The recent proof by Madsen and Weiss of Mumford's conjecture on the stable cohomology of moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces, was a dramatic example of an important stability theorem about the topology of moduli spaces. In this article we…

In \cite{Bedford}, the dynamics of a particular polynomial diffeomorphism of $\mathbb{C}^N$, called a polynomial shift-like map of type $\nu$, has been studied as a higher dimensional analog of H\'enon maps. In this note, we prove that the…

We completely characterise the bounded sets that arise as components of the Fatou and Julia sets of meromorphic functions. On the one hand, we prove that a bounded domain is a Fatou component of some meromorphic function if and only if it…

We consider a family of planar systems introduced in 1991 by Benedicks and Carleson as a toy model for the dynamics of the so-called H\'enon maps. We show that Smale's Axiom A property is $C^1$-dense among the systems in this family,…

We study scattering from potentials that rise monotonically on one side; this is generally avoided. We report that resonant states are absent in such potentials when they are smooth and single-piece having less than three real turning…

We investigate the dynamics of chaotic trajectories in simple yet physically important Hamiltonian systems with non-hierarchical borders between regular and chaotic regions with positive measures. We show that the stickiness to the border…

We investigate a two-component reaction-diffusion system with a slow-fast structure and spatially varying coefficients $f_1$ and $f_2$ appearing in the slow equation. Under mild boundedness and regularity conditions on $f_1$ and $f_2$ the…

The Leau-Fatou flower theorem completely describes the dynamic behavior of $1-$dimensional maps tangent to the identity. In dimension two Hakim and Abate proved that if $f$ is a holomorphic map tangent to the identity in $\mathbb{C}^2$ and…

We consider the one-dimensional Swift-Hohenberg equation coupled to a conservation law. As a parameter increases the system undergoes a Turing bifurcation. We study the dynamics near this bifurcation. First, we show that stationary,…

Let $\{f_\mu\}_{\mu \in \mathbb{D}}$ be a family of automorphisms of $\mathbb{C}^2$ unfolding a generic homoclinic tangency associated to a fixed point $p$ belonging to a horseshoe. We prove that if the linearized versions of the Cantor…

In this paper, we study non-wandering homeomorphisms of the two torus in the identity homotopy class, whose rotation sets are non-trivial line segments from $(0,0)$ to some totally irrational vector $(\alpha,\beta)$. We show this rotation…

Thurston introduced $\si_d$-invariant laminations (where $\si_d(z)$ coincides with $z^d:\ucirc\to \ucirc$, $d\ge 2$) and defined \emph{wandering $k$-gons} as sets $\T\subset \ucirc$ such that $\si_d^n(\T)$ consists of $k\ge 3$ distinct…

We exploit the techniques developed in [Le] to study N-expansive homeomorphisms on surfaces. We prove that when f is a 2-expansive homeomorphism defined on a compact boundaryless surface M without wandering points then f is expansive. This…

Considering random noise in finite dimensional parameterized families of diffeomorphisms of a compact finite dimensional boundaryless manifold M, we show the existence of time averages for almost every orbit of each point of M, imposing…

In my 1993 paper, "Pappus's Theorem and the Modular Group", I explained how the iteration of Pappus's Theorem gives rise to a $2$-parameter family of representations of the modular group into the group of projective automorphisms. In this…

Coboundary expansion (with $\mathbb{F}_2$ coefficients), and variations on it, have been the focus of intensive research in the last two decades. It was used to study random complexes, property testing, and above all Gromov's topological…

The aim of this work is to study the dynamics and stability of soft shape-morphing configurations and specifically the modes of interaction between the front and rear airfoil segments. Initially we present several steady-state solutions,…

A question of F. Kwakkel and V. Markovic on existence of C^1-diffeomorphisms of closed surfaces that permute a dense collection of domains with bounded geometry is answered in the negative. In fact, it is proved that for closed surfaces of…
