The shift map $\sigma$ on $\omega^*$ is the continuous self-map of $\omega^*$ induced by the function $n \mapsto n+1$ on $\omega$. Given a compact Hausdorff space $X$ and a continuous function $f: X \rightarrow X$, we say that $(X,f)$ is a…

We give an example of a smooth characteristic embedding of a torus in $\s^2 \times \s^2 \# \s^1 \times \s^3$ such that there exists no diffeomorphism of the ambient $4$-manifold that induces the Dehn twist along a meridian of the torus, but…

Given a graph $G$, a subgraph $H$ is isometric if $d_H(u,v) = d_G(u,v)$ for every pair $u,v\in V(H)$, where $d$ is the distance function. A graph $G$ is distance preserving (dp) if it has an isometric subgraph of every possible order. A…

Let f:\Sigma_1 --> \Sigma_2 be an area preserving diffeomorphism between compact Riemann surfaces of constant curvature. The graph of f can be viewed as a Lagrangian submanifold in \Sigma_1\times \Sigma_2. This article discusses a canonical…

We study when the mapping class group of an infinite-type surface $S$ admits an action with unbounded orbits on a connected graph whose vertices are simple closed curves on $S$. We introduce a topological invariant for infinite-type…

Hoehn and Mouron [Ergod. Th. \& Dynam. Sys. (2014) \textbf{34}, 1897--1913] constructed a map on the universal dendrite that is topologically weakly mixing but not mixing. We modify the Hoehn-Mouron example to show that there exists a…

In this paper, we consider chaotic dynamics and variational structures of area-preserving maps. There is a lot of study on dynamics of their maps and the works of Poincare and Birkhoff are well-known. To consider variational structures of…

This paper proves that every periodic automorphism of a closed hyperbolic surface S sends some curve to a nearly disjoint curve. In particular, periodic maps cannot have the property that every curve fills with its image, so no such map can…

In this note, we investigate the dynamics of invariant circles in area-preserving twist maps. The invariant circles under consideration lie beyond the applicability of classical KAM theory, as the perturbations involved exceed the scope of…

We study properties of stable, strictly stable and locally outermost marginally outer trapped surfaces in spacelike hypersurfaces of spacetimes possessing certain symmetries such as isometries, homotheties and conformal Killings. We first…

We show that the cycle relation between Dehn twists about curves in a circuit detects whether the circuit bounds an embedded disc. This is done by determining the isomorphism type of the group generated by said Dehn twists for various…

Let $S$ be a Riemann surface of type $(p,n)$ with $3p+n>4$ and $n\geq 1$. Let $\alpha_1,\alpha_2\subset S$ be two simple closed geodesics such that $\{\alpha_1, \alpha_2\}$ fills $S$. It was shown by Thurston that most maps obtained through…

We investigate the iterative behaviour of continuous order preserving subhomogeneous maps that map a polyhedral cone into itself. For these maps we show that every bounded orbit converges to a periodic orbit and, moreover, that there exists…

According to the Bloch-Beilinson conjectures, an automorphism of a K3 surface X that acts as the identity on the transcendental lattice should act trivially on CH^2(X). We discuss this conjecture for symplectic involutions and prove it in…

In this article we investigate the fragility of invariant Lagrangian graphs for dissipative maps, focusing on their destruction under small perturbations. Inspired by Herman's work on conservative systems, we prove that all $C^0$-invariant…

In this paper we provide sufficient conditions in order to show that the set image of a continuous and shift-commuting map defined on a shift space over an arbitrary discrete alphabet is also a shift space; additionally, if such a map is…

We prove that minimal area-preserving flows locally given by a smooth Hamiltonian on a closed surface of any genus are typically (in the measure-theoretical sense) not mixing. The result is obtained by considering special flows over…

Let $\Sigma$ be a compact oriented surface. The Dehn twist along every simple closed curve $\gamma \subset \Sigma$ induces an automorphism of the fundamental group $\pi$ of $\Sigma$. There are two possible ways to generalize such…

A criterion for quadratic or higher growth of group automorphisms is established which are represented by graph-of-groups automorphisms with certain well specified properties. As a consequence, it is derived (using results of a previous…

By a result of Blokh from 1984, every transitive map of a tree has the relative specification property, and so it has finite decomposition ideal, positive entropy and dense periodic points. In this paper we construct a transitive dendrite…
