We take the first steps towards a better understanding of continuous orbit equivalence, i.e., topological orbit equivalence with continuous cocycles. First, we characterise continuous orbit equivalence in terms of isomorphisms of C*-crossed…

Smooth functions $f:G\to E$ from a topological group $G$ to a locally convex space $E$ were considered by Riss (1953), Boseck, Czichowski and Rudolph (1981), Belti\c{t}\u{a} and Nicolae (2015), and others, in varying degrees of generality.…

We study cocycles taking values in the mapping class group of closed surfaces and investigate their leading topological Lyapunov exponent. Under a natural closing property, we show that the top topological Lyapunov exponent can be…

In this paper we study variations of the Hopf theorem concerning continuous maps $f$ of a compact Riemannian manifold $M$ of dimension $n$ to $\mathbb{R}^n$. We investigate the case when $M$ is a closed convex $n$-dimensional surface and…

Let $X, Y$ be smooth algebraic varieties of the same dimension. Let $f, g : X \to Y$ be finite polynomial mappings. We say that $f, g$ are equivalent if there exists a regular automorphism $\Phi \in Aut(X)$ such that $f = g\circ \Phi$. Of…

Two fluid configurations along a flow are conjugate if there is a one parameter family of geodesics (fluid flows) joining them to infinitesimal order. Geometrically, they can be seen as a consequence of the (infinite dimensional) group of…

Two continuous maps $f, g : \mathbb{C}^2\to\mathbb{C}^2$ are said to be topologically equivalent if there exist homeomorphisms $\varphi,\psi:\mathbb{C}^2\to\mathbb{C}^2$ satisfying $\psi\circ f\circ\varphi = g$. It is known that there are…

We show that genuinely higher rank expanding actions of abelian semi-groups on compact manifolds are $C^{\infty}$-conjugate to affine actions on infra-nilmanifolds. This is based on the classification of expanding diffeomorphisms up to…

In this paper we obtain an almost sure invariance principle for convergent sequences of either Anosov diffeomorphisms or expanding maps on compact Riemannian manifolds and prove an ergodic stability result for such sequences. The sequences…

In this work we introduce a topological method for the search of fixed points and periodic points for continuous maps defined on generalized rectangles in finite dimensional Euclidean spaces. We name our technique "Stretching Along the…

In this paper we consider maps on the plane which are similar to quadratic maps in that they are degree 2 branched covers of the plane. In fact, consider for $\alpha$ fixed, maps $f_c$ which have the following form (in polar coordinates):…

We prove that for any Riemannian metric $g$ on a closed orientable surface $\Sigma$ and any spacelike embedding $f:\Sigma \rightarrow M$ in a pseudo-Riemannian manifold $(M,h)$, the embedding $f$ can be $C^{0}$-approximated by a smooth…

Let $f \in C^2(\mathbb{T}^2)$ have mean value 0 and consider $$ \sup_{\gamma~{\tiny \mbox{closed geodesic}}}{~~~ \frac{1}{|\gamma|} \left| \int_{\gamma}{ f ~~d\mathcal{H}^1}\right| },$$ where $\gamma$ ranges over all closed geodesics…

The main objects under consideration in this thesis are called maps, a certain class of graphs embedded on surfaces. Our problems have a powerful relatively recent tool in common, the so-called topological recursion (TR) introduced by…

We study the dynamics of area-preserving maps in a non-compact setting. We show that the $C^{\infty}$-closing lemma holds for area-preserving diffeomorphisms on a closed surface with finitely many points removed. As a corollary, a…

Let ${\mathcal M}_{g,n}$ denote the moduli space of smooth, genus $g\geq 1$ curves with $n\geq 0$ marked points. Let ${\mathcal A}_h$ denote the moduli space of $h$-dimensional, principally polarized abelian varieties. Let $g\geq 3$ and…

Let $U$ be a multiply connected domain of the Riemann sphere $\hat{C}$ whose complement $\hat{C}\setminus U$ has $N<\infty$ components. We show that every conformal map on $U$ can be written as a composition of $N$ maps conformal on simply…

In this paper we show that a geodesic flow of a compact surface without conjugate points of genus greater than one is time-preserving semi-conjugate to a continuous expansive flow which is topologically mixing and has a local product…

We study how to construct explicit deformations of generic smooth maps from closed $n$--dimensional manifolds $M$ with $n \geq 2$ to the $2$--sphere $S^2$ and show that every smooth map $M \to S^2$ is homotopic to a $C^\infty$ stable map…

We prove that if the Ahlfors regular conformal dimension $Q$ of a topologically cxc map on the sphere $f: S^2 \to S^2$ is realized by some metric $d$ on $S^2$, then either Q=2 and $f$ is topologically conjugate to a semihyperbolic rational…
