Let $\Diffeo=\Diffeo(\R)$ denote the group of infinitely-differentiable diffeomorphisms of the real line $\R$, under the operation of composition, and let $\Diffeo^+$ be the subgroup of diffeomorphisms of degree +1, i.e.…
In this article we study minimal homeomorphisms(all orbits are dense) of the tori $T^{n},$ $n<5.$ The linear part of a homeomorphism $\phi $ of $T^{n}$ is the linear mapping $L$ induced by $\phi $ on the first homology group of $T^{n}$. It…
This paper studies the geometry of the group of all co-Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of a compact cosymplectic manifold $(M, \omega, \eta)$. The fix-point theory for co-Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms is studied, and we use Arnold's conjecture to…
We prove that the spacetime singular set of any suitable Leray-Hopf solution of the surface quasigeostrophic equation with fractional dissipation of order $0< \alpha < \frac{1}{2}$ has Hausdorff dimension at most $\frac{1}{2\alpha^2}\,.$…
Let $\Sigma$ be a compact Riemann surface and $D_1,...,D_n$ a finite number of pairwise disjoint closed disks of $\Sigma$. We prove the existence of a proper harmonic map into the Euclidean plane from a hyperbolic domain $\Omega$ containing…
Let $\Lambda$ be an isolated non-trival transitive set of a $C^1$ generic diffeomorphism $f\in\Diff(M)$. We show that the space of invariant measures supported on $\Lambda$ coincides with the space of accumulation measures of time averages…
We prove that for any non-compact connected surface $M$ the group $H_c(M)$ of compactly suported homeomorphisms of $M$ endowed with the Whitney topology is homeomorphic to $R^\infty\times l_2$ or $Z\times R^\infty\times l_2$.
Using a flow first introduced by J.P. Anderson, we obtain some existence theorems for harmonic maps from a noncompact complete Riemannian manifold into a complete Riemannian manifold. In particular, we prove as a corollary a recent result…
We construct stable minimal hypersurfaces with simple topology in certain compact $4$-manifolds $X$ with boundary, where $X$ embeds into a smooth manifold homeomorphic to $S^4$. For example, if $X$ is equipped with a Riemannian metric $g$…
The main theme of this paper is to use toric degeneration to produce distinct homogeneous quasimorphisms on the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms. We focus on the (complex $n$-dimensional) quadric hypersurface and the del Pezzo surfaces,…
We prove the existence of a unique maximal surface in each anti-de Sitter (AdS) convex Globally Hyperbolic Maximal (GHM) manifold with particles (that is, with conical singularities along time-like lines) for cone angles less than $\pi$. We…
Hamiltonian stationary Lagrangian spheres in Kaehler-Einstein surfaces are minimal. We prove that in the family of non-Einstein Kaehler surfaces given by the product $\Sigma_1\times\Sigma_2$ of two complete orientable Riemannian surfaces of…
This paper deals with random perturbations of diffeomorphisms on n-dimensional Riemannian manifolds with distributions supported on k-dimensional disks, where k<n. First we demonstrate general but not very intuitive conditions which…
Given any $f$ a locally finitely piecewise affine homeomorphism of $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ onto $\Delta \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ (for $d=3, 4$) such that $f\in W^{1,p}(\Omega, \mathbb{R}^d)$ and $f^{-1}\in W^{1,q}(\Delta, \mathbb{R}^d)$,…
The Lefschetz fixed point theorem provides a powerful obstruction to the existence of minimal homeomorphisms on well-behaved spaces such as finite CW-complexes. We show that these obstructions do not hold for more general spaces. More…
We show that the $L^{\infty}$-norm of the contact Hamiltonian induces a non-degenerate right-invariant metric on the group of contactomorphisms of any closed contact manifold. This contact Hofer metric is not left-invariant, but rather…
Let $f:\mathbb{R}^2 \to \mathbb{R}$ be a real homogeneous polynomial and $S(f)$ be the group of diffeomorphisms $h:\mathbb{R}^2 \to \mathbb{R}^2$ preserving $f$, i.e. $f \circ h = f$. Denote by $S(f,r)$, $(0\leq r \leq \infty)$, the…
Using pseudoholomorphic curves techniques from symplectic geometry, Barney Bramham proved recently that every smooth irrational pseudo-rotation of the unit disk is the limit, for the $C^0$ topology, of a sequence of smooth periodic…
Let $f:M\rightarrow M$ be a $C^1$ diffeomorphism with a dominated splitting on a compact Riemanian manifold $M$ without boundary. We state and prove several sufficient conditions for the topological entropy of $f$ to be positive. The…
In this paper, we study the class of Weil--Petersson circle homeomorphisms from the point of view of three-dimensional anti-de Sitter space $\mathbf{AdS}^{2,1}$. We show that a homeomorphism $\varphi:\mathbf{RP}^1\to\mathbf{RP}^1$ is…
