We have studied irreducible Hom-Lie algebroid connections for Hom-bundle and prove that the H-gauge theoretic moduli space has a Hausdorff Hilbert manifold structure. This work generalizes some known results about simple semi-connections…
We continue the study of straightening maps for the family of polynomials of degree $d \ge 3$. The notion of straightening map is originally introduced by Douady and Hubbard to study relationship between polynomial-like renormalizations and…
By means of a graphical journey across the Mandelbrot set for the classic quadratic iterator $f(z):z^2+q$, we illustrate how connectivity breaks as the seed $z_0$ is no longer at the critical point of $f(z)$. Finally we suggest an attack to…
We study the homeomorphism types of manifolds h-cobordant to a fixed one. Our investigation is partly motivated by the notion of special manifolds introduced by Milnor in his study of lens spaces. In particular we revisit and clarify some…
As a particular problem within the field of non-autonomous discrete systems, we consider iterations of two quadratic maps $f_{c_0}=z^2+c_0$ and $f_{c_1}=z^2+c_1$, according to a prescribed binary sequence, which we call a \emph{template}.…
The following notes provide an introduction to recent work of Branner, Hubbard and Yoccoz on the geometry of polynomial Julia sets. They are an expanded version of lectures given in Stony Brook in Spring 1992. I am indebted to help from the…
We study the topological triviality of families of singular surfaces in ${\mathbb C}^3$ parametrized by $\mathcal A$-finitely determined map germs. We prove that the constancy of the Milnor number of the double point locus characterizes the…
Hamiltonian quantization of an integral compact symplectic manifold M depends on a choice of compatible almost complex structure J. For open sets U in the set of compatible almost complex structures and small enough values of Planck's…
We develop a new approach to Lagrangian-Floer gluing. The construction of the gluing map is based on the intersection theory in some Hilbert manifold of paths $\mathcal{P} $. We consider some moduli spaces of perturbed holomorphic curves…
Link homotopy has been an active area of research for knot theorists since its introduction by Milnor in the 1950s. We introduce a new equivalence relation on spatial graphs called component homotopy, which reduces to link homotopy in the…
Given a polynomial $p$, the degree of its Chebyshev's method $C_p$ is determined. If $p$ is cubic then the degree of $C_p$ is found to be $4,6$ or $7$ and we investigate the dynamics of $C_p$ in these cases. If a cubic polynomial $p$ is…
We introduce a generalization of the McMullen family $f_{\lambda}(z)=z^n+\lambda/z^d$. In 1988, C. McMullen showed that the Julia set of $f_{\lambda}$ is a Cantor set of circles if and only if $1/n+1/d<1$ and the simple critical values of…
Let $P$ be a polynomial with a connected Julia set $J$. We use continuum theory to show that it admits a \emph{finest monotone map $\ph$ onto a locally connected continuum $J_{\sim_P}$}, i.e. a monotone map $\ph:J\to J_{\sim_P}$ such that…
We study the possible dimension vectors of indecomposable parabolic bundles on the projective line, and use our answer to solve the problem of characterizing those collections of conjugacy classes of n by n matrices for which one can find…
The Minkowski's Question-Mark function is a singular homeomorphism of the unit interval that maps the set of quadratic surds into the rationals. This function has deserved the attention of several authors since the beginning of the…
The Arnold conjecture states that a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism of a closed and connected symplectic manifold must have at least as many fixed points as the minimal number of critical points of a smooth function on the manifold. It is well…
Let $\A$ be an arrangement of affine lines in $\C^2,$ with complement $\M(\A).$ The (co)homo-logy of $\M(\A)$ with twisted coefficients is strictly related to the cohomology of the Milnor fibre associated to the conified arrangement,…
Connections on a trivial bundle MxG can be identified with their holonomy maps, i.e. with homomorphisms of a groupoid of paths in M into the gauge group G. For a connected compact G, various algebras depending on the set of the smooth…
We show that every complete metric space is homeomorphic to the precise locus of zeros of an entire analytic map from a Hilbert space to a Banach space. As a corollary, every complete separable metric space is homeomorphic to the precise…
Let $f:\hat{\mathbb C}\to\hat{\mathbb C}$ be a hyperbolic rational map of degree $d\ge2$ on the Riemann sphere. We give several conditions which are equivalent to the condition for the Julia set $J_f$ to be a Cantor set. It has been known…
