We discuss the dynamics of smooth diffeomorphisms of the disc with vanishing topological entropy which satisfy the mild dissipation property introduced in [CP]. In particular it contains the H\'enon maps with Jacobian up to 1/4. We prove…
We answer affirmatively a question posed by Morita on homological stability of surface diffeomorphisms made discrete. In particular, we prove that $C^{\infty}$-diffeomorphisms and volume preserving diffeomorphisms of surfaces as family of…
The group $Ham(M,\omega)$ of all Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of a symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$ plays a central role in symplectic geometry. This group is endowed with the Hofer metric. In this paper we study two aspects of the geometry…
Consider a symplectic surface $\Sigma$ with two properly embedded Hamiltonian isotopic curves $L$ and $L'$. Suppose $g \in Ham (\Sigma)$ is a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism which sends $L$ to $L'$. Which dynamical properties of $g$ can be…
In this paper, we give an example of an autoequivalence with positive categorical entropy (in the sense of Dimitrov, Haiden, Katzarkov and Kontsevich) for any surface containing a (-2)-curve. Then we show that this equivalence gives another…
We show that there exist infinite-dimensional quasi-flats in the compactly supported Hamiltonian diffeomorphism group of the Liouville domain, with respect to the spectral norm, if and only if the symplectic cohomology of this Liouville…
We introduce a class of volume-contracting surface diffeomorphisms whose dynamics is intermediate between one-dimensional dynamics and general surface dynamics. For that type of systems one can associate to the dynamics a reduced…
Hamiltonian flows on compact surfaces are characterized, and the topological invariants of such flows with finitely many singular points are constructed from the viewpoints of integrable systems, fluid mechanics, and dynamical systems.…
In this article, we study the behavior of iterations of symplectomorphisms and Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms on symplectic manifolds. We prove that symplectomorphisms and Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms do not have $C^1$-recurrence on negatively…
Our first main result states that the spectral norm on the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms, introduced in the works of Viterbo, Schwarz and Oh, is continuous with respect to the C^0 topology, when M is symplectically aspherical. This…
We exhibit a local residual set of surface $C^1$ diffeomorphisms that are continuum-wise expansive but are not expansive. We also exhibit an open and dense set of surface $C^1$ diffeomorphisms where expansiveness implies being Anosov.
We study Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms on symplectic Euclidean spaces that are equal to non-degenerate linear maps at infinity. Under the assumption that there exists an isolated homologically nontrivial fixed point satisfying the twist…
We construct diffeomorphisms of ``pseudo-Anosov type'' on K3 surfaces M. In particular we obtain infinitely many examples of such diffeomorphisms that minimize entropy in their homotopy class, and for which neither the diffeomorphism nor…
In this work, we investigate diffeomorphisms whose positiveness of topological entropy is destroyed by singular suspensions. We show that this phenomenon is rare in the set of $C^1$-diffeomorphisms. Precisely, we prove that for an open and…
For r at least 3, p at least 2, we classify all actions of the groups Diff^r_c(R) and Diff^r_+(S1) by C^p -diffeomorphisms on the line and on the circle. This is the same as describing all nontrivial group homomorphisms between groups of…
We prove that a generic area-preserving diffeomorphism of a compact surface with non-empty boundary has an equidistributed set of periodic orbits. This implies that such a diffeomorphism has a dense set of periodic points, although we also…
Let $\Sigma$ be a compact $C^2$ hypersurface in $\R^{2n}$ bounding a convex set with non-empty interior. In this paper it is proved that there always exist at least $n$ geometrically distinct closed characteristics on $\Sigma$ if $\Sigma$…
On the one hand, we prove that the spaces of C^1 symplectomorphisms and of C^1 volume-preserving diffeomorphisms both contain residual subsets of diffeomorphisms whose centralizers are trivial. On the other hand, we show that the space of…
In this note we give examples of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms which are on one hand dynamically complicated, for instance with positive topological entropy, and on the other hand minimal from the perspective of Floer theory. The minimality…
We show that a symplectic isotopy that is a $C^0$ limit of Hamiltonian isotopies is itself Hamiltonian, if the corresponding sequence of generating Hamiltonians converge in $L^{(1, \infty)}$ topology.
