We prove that any complete Riemannian manifold with negative part of the Ricci curvature in a suitable Dynkin class is bi-Lipschitz equivalent to a finite-dimensional $\mathrm{RCD}$ space, by building upon the transformation rule of the…

By studying periodic points for rational maps on $\bm{C}^d$ with $p$ invariants, we show that they form an invariant variety of dimension $p$ if the periodicity conditions are `fully correlated', and a set of isolated points if the…

We study bifurcations of area-preserving maps, both orientable (symplectic) and non-orientable, with quadratic homoclinic tangencies. We consider one and two parameter general unfoldings and establish results related to the appearance of…

We present numerical results and computer assisted proofs of the existence of periodic orbits for the Kuramoto-Sivashinky equation. These two results are based on writing down the existence of periodic orbits as zeros of functionals. This…

\citet{Shmuel2016JMPS} discovered that all infinite band structures of waves at normal incidence in two-phase laminates are encapsulated in a compact universal manifold. We show that manifolds of higher dimensionality encapsulate the band…

We use orbifold structures to deduce degeneracy statements for holomorphic maps into logarithmic surfaces. We improve former results in the smooth case and generalize them to singular pairs. In particular, we give applications on nodal…

We classify all spherical 2-designs that arise as orbits of finite group actions on real inner product spaces. Although it is well known that such designs can occur in representations without trivial components, we give a complete…

The existence of periodic solutions in $\Gamma$-symmetric Newtonian systems $\ddot{x}=-\nabla f(x)$ can be effectively studied by means of the $(\Gamma\times O(2))$-equivariant gradient degree with values in the Euler ring $U(\Gamma\times…

Using the theory of geodesics on surfaces of revolution, we introduce the period function. We use this as our main tool in showing that any two-dimensional orbifold of revolution homeomorphic to S^2 must contain an infinite number of…

Let $(M,g)$ be a closed Riemannian manifold and $L:TM\rightarrow \mathbb R$ be a Tonelli Lagrangian. In this thesis we study the existence of orbits of the Euler-Lagrange flow associated with $L$ satisfying suitable boundary conditions. We…

We compute the Euler-Poincar\'e characteristic of the homogeneous compact manifolds that can be described as minimal orbits for the action of a real form in a complex flag manifold.

A basic problem in the geometry of degenerating period maps is to determine whether their completed images admit an intrinsic algebraic description. For polarized variations of Hodge structure over smooth quasi-projective surfaces, Deng and…

We give a full classification of 6-dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras over an arbitrary field, including fields that are not algebraically closed and fields of characteristic~2. To achieve the classification we use the action of the…

We study the dynamics of the Forced Logistic Map in the cylinder. We compute a bifurcation diagram in terms of the dynamics of the attracting set. Different properties of the attracting set are considered, as the Lyapunov exponent and, in…
