We study the dynamics of a finite chain of diffusively coupled Lorenz oscillators with periodic boundary conditions. Such rings possess infinitely many fixed states, some of which are observed to be stable. It is shown that there exists a…

Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic, $X$ an irreducible variety and $Y$ an irreducible projective variety over $K$, both are not necessarily smooth. Let $f:X\rightarrow X$ and $g:Y\rightarrow Y$ be dominant…

This paper is divided into two parts. The first is a review, through categorical lenses, of the classical theory of regular-singular differential systems over $C((x))$ and $\mathbb P^1_C\smallsetminus\{0,\infty\}$, where $C$ is…

We study the existence of periodic solutions in a class of planar Filippov systems obtained from non-autonomous periodic perturbations of reversible piecewise smooth differential systems. It is assumed that the unperturbed system presents a…

We give a sharp lower bound for the number of geometrically distinct contractible periodic orbits of dynamically convex Reeb flows on prequantizations of symplectic manifolds that are not aspherical. Several consequences of this result are…

In this paper, we study the large-scale structure of dense regular graphs. This involves the notion of robust expansion, a recent concept which has already been used successfully to settle several longstanding problems. Roughly speaking, a…

The magnetic properties and nature of the persistent current in small flux-penetrated $t-t'-U$ rings are investigated. An effective rigid-rotator description is formulated for this system, which coincides with a transition to a…

We show that for almost every $(P,\lambda)$ where $P$ is a convex polygon and $\lambda\in(0,1)$, the corresponding outer billiard about $P$ with contraction $\lambda$ is asymptotically periodic, i.e., has a finite number of periodic orbits…

We show that the moduli space of $n$ suitably embedded copies of a closed smooth manifold $P$ inside a closed smooth manifold $M$ satisfies cohomological periodicity over $\mathbb F_\ell$ when $n$ grows, with an explicit linear bound on the…

Let $f$ be a homeomorphism of the closed annulus $A$ isotopic to the identity, and let $X\subset {\rm Int}A$ be an $f$-invariant continuum which separates $A$ into two domains, the upper domain $U_+$ and the lower domain $U_-$. Fixing a…

The periodic tiling conjecture asserts that if a region $\Sigma\subset \mathbb R^d$ tiles $\mathbb R^d$ by translations then it admits at least one fully periodic tiling. This conjecture is known to hold in $\mathbb R$, and recently it was…

Planar piecewise linear systems with two linearity zones separated by a straight line and with a periodic orbit at infinity are considered. By using some changes of variables and parameters, a reduced canonical form with five parameters is…

Periodic orbits for the classical $\phi^4$ theory on the one dimensional lattice are systematically constructed by extending the normal modes of the harmonic theory, for periodic, fixed and free boundary conditions. Through the process, we…

The main theme of this paper is the connection between the existence of infinitely many periodic orbits for a Hamiltonian system and the behavior of its action or index spectrum under iterations. We use the action and index spectra to show…

In this paper, we present a new method for the analysis of piecewise dynamical systems that are similar to the Collatz conjecture in regard to certain properties of the commutator of their sub-functions. We use the fact that the commutator…

Time-dependent Stark-Zeeman systems describe the motion of an electron attracted by a proton subject to a magnetic and a time-dependent electric field. For instance the study of the dynamics of a gateway around the moon which is subject to…

This paper investigates the dynamics of a particle orbiting around a rotating homogeneous cube, and shows fruitful results that have implications for examining the dynamics of orbits around non-spherical celestial bodies. This study can be…

We extend classical results of Rado on partition regularity of systems of linear equations with integer coefficients to the case when the coefficient ring is either an arbitrary integral domain or a noetherian ring. In particular, we show…

We study the dynamics of polynomial maps on the boundary of the central hyperbolic component $\mathcal H_d$. We prove the local connectivity of Julia sets and a rigidity theorem for maps on the regular part of $\partial\mathcal H_d$. Our…

The $3x+1$ map $T$ is defined on the $2$-adic integers $\mathbb{Z}_2$ by $T(x)=x/2$ for even $x$ and $T(x)=(3x+1)/2$ for odd $x$. It is still unproved that under iteration of $T$ the trajectory of any rational $2$-adic integer is eventually…
