We study the relationship between a homological capacity $c_{\mathrm{SH}^+}(W)$ for Liouville domains $W$ defined using positive symplectic homology and the existence of periodic orbits for Hamiltonian systems on $W$: If the positive…

We prove that the space of contractible simple loops of a given fixed area in any compact oriented surface has infinite diameter as a homogeneous space of the group of area-preserving diffeomorphisms endowed with the $L^p$-metric. As a…

We use symplectic tools to establish a smooth variant of Franks theorem for a closed orientable surface of positive genus $g$; it implies that a symplectic diffeomorphism isotopic to the identity with more than $2g-2$ fixed points, counted…

Let $(M,g)$ be a (complete) Riemannian surface, and let $\Omega\subset M$ be an open subset whose closure is homeomorphic to a disk. We prove that if $\partial\Omega$ is smooth and it satisfies a strong concavity assumption, then there are…

By the Thurston stability theorem, a group of C^1 orientation-preserving diffeomorphisms of the closed unit interval is locally indicable. We show that the local order structure of orbits gives a stronger criterion for nonsmoothability that…

Let $M=S^n/ \Gamma$ and $h \in \pi_1(M)$ be a non-trivial element of finite order $p$, where the integers $n, p\geq2$ and $\Gamma$ is a finite abelian group which acts on the sphere freely and isometrically, therefore $M$ is diffeomorphic…

We prove that the set of closed orbits in a real reductive representation contains a subset which is open with respect to the real Zariski topology if it has non-empty interior. In particular the set of closed orbits is dense.

We give a classification of generic coadjoint orbits for the groups of symplectomorphisms and Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of a closed symplectic surface. We also classify simple Morse functions on symplectic surfaces with respect to actions…

We prove that there exist periodic orbits on almost all compact regular energy levels of a Hamiltonian function defined on a twisted cotangent bundle over the two-sphere. As a corollary, given any Riemannian two-sphere and a magnetic field…

We study orbits and reachable sets of generic couples of Hamiltonians $H_1, H_2$ on a symplectic manifold $N$. We prove that, $C^k$-generically for $k$ large enough, orbits coincide with the whole of $N$, and that the same is true for…

We prove that for any compact toric symplectic manifold, if a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism admits more fixed points, counted homologically, than the total Betti number, then it has infinitely many simple periodic points. This provides a vast…

On closed symplectically aspherical manifolds, Schwarz proved a classical result that the action function of a nontrivial Hamiltonian diffeomorphism is not constant by using Floer homology. In this article, we generalize Schwarz's theorem…

One of the consequences of residual finiteness of triangle groups is that for any given hyperbolic triple $(\ell,m,n)$ there exist infinitely many regular hypermaps of type $(\ell,m,n)$ on compact orientable surfaces. The same conclusion…

The present paper is a review of counterexamples to the ``Hamiltonian Seifert conjecture'' or, more generally, of examples of Hamiltonian systems having no periodic orbits on a compact energy level. We begin with the discussion of the…

We obtain an analog of the prime number theorem for a class of branched covering maps on the $2$-sphere $S^2$ called expanding Thurston maps, which are topological models of some non-uniformly expanding rational maps without any smoothness…

We prove that the action of the semigroup generated by a $C^r$ generic pair of area-preserving diffeomorphisms of a compact orientable surface is transitive.

We prove that the entropy norm on the group of diffeomorphisms of a closed orientable surface of positive genus is unbounded.

In this paper we prove a generalisation of Schlenk's theorem about the existence of contractible periodic Reeb orbits on stable, displaceable hypersurfaces in symplectically aspherical, geometrically bounded, symplectic manifolds, to a…

In this paper we connect algebraic properties of the pair-of-pants product in local Floer homology and Hamiltonian dynamics. We show that for an isolated periodic orbit the product is non-uniformly nilpotent and use this fact to give a…

For every $r\in\mathbb{N}_{\geq2}\cup\{\infty\}$, we prove the $C^r$-closing lemma for general and conservative partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms with one-dimensional center bundle. In particular, it implies periodic points are dense for…
