We extend Sharkovskii's theorem to the cases of $N$-dimensional maps which are close to 1D maps, with an attracting $n$-periodic orbit. We prove that, with relatively weak topological assumptions, there exist also $m$-periodic orbits for…

We prove that for a $C^\infty$-generic contact form defining a given co-oriented contact structure on a closed $3$-manifold, every hyperbolic periodic Reeb orbit admits a transverse homoclinic connection in each of the branches of its…

We use Hamiltonian Floer theory to recover and generalize a classic rigidity theorem of Ekelend and Lasry. That theorem can be rephrased as an assertion about the existence of multiple closed Reeb orbits for certain tight contact forms on…

In this article, we investigate Reeb dynamics on $b^m$-contact manifolds, previously introduced in [MiO], which are contact away from a hypersurface $Z$ but satisfy certain transversality conditions on $Z$. The study of these contact…

As a refinement of the Weinstein conjecture, it is a natural question whether a Reeb orbit of particular types exists. D. Cristofaro-Gardiner, M. Hutchings and D. Pomerleano showed that every nondegenerate closed contact three manifold with…

Let $S$ be a closed surface of genus $g\geq 1$, furnished with an area form $\omega$. We show that there exists an open and dense set ${\mathcal O_r}$ of the space of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of class $C^r$, $1\leq r\leq\infty$, endowed…

We prove that every non-degenerate Reeb flow on a closed contact manifold $M$ admitting a strong symplectic filling $W$ with vanishing first Chern class carries at least two geometrically distinct closed orbits provided that the positive…

We prove a general theorem on the existence of heteroclinic orbits in Hilbert spaces, and present a method to reduce the solutions of some P.D.E. problems to such orbits. In our first application, we give a new proof in a slightly more…

We investigate the spectrum of the spin Dirac operator on families of hyperbolic surfaces where a set of disjoint simple geodesics shrink to $0$, under the hypothesis that the spin structure is non-trivial along each pinched geodesic. The…

In this paper, we treat an open problem related to the number of periodic orbits of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms on closed symplectic manifolds. Hofer-Zehnder conjecture states that a Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms has infinitely many periodic…

Contraction theory for dynamical systems on Euclidean spaces is well-established. For contractive (resp. semi-contractive) systems, the distance (resp. semi-distance) between any two trajectories decreases exponentially fast. For partially…

This note is to concern a generalization to the case of twisted coefficients of the classical theory of Abelian differentials on a compact Riemann surface. We apply the Dirichlet's principle to a modified energy functional to show the…

We show that the presence of a non-contractible one-periodic orbit of a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism of a connected closed symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$ implies the existence of infinitely many non-contractible simple periodic orbits,…

In this article, we study the dynamical properties of Reeb vector fields on b-contact manifolds. We show that in dimension 3, the number of so-called singular periodic orbits can be prescribed. These constructions illuminate some key…

Consider the cotangent bundle of a Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ of dimension 2 or more, endowed with a twisted symplectic structure defined by a closed weakly exact 2-form $\sigma$ on $M$ whose lift to the universal cover of $M$ admits a…

We introduce a local version of contact homology for an isolated periodic orbit of the Reeb flow and prove that its rank is uniformly bounded for isolated iterations. Several applications are obtained, including a generalization of…

Let X be a finite 2-complex with unfree fundamental group. We prove lower bounds for the area of a metric on X, in terms of the square of the least length of a noncontractible loop in X. We thus establish a uniform systolic inequality for…

We prove a compactness theorem for embedded measured hyperbolic Riemann surface laminations in a compact almost complex manifold $(X, J)$. To prove compactness result, we show that there is a suitable topology on the space of measured…

This paper is about the existence of periodic orbits near an equilibrium point of a two-degree-of-freedom Hamiltonian system. The equilibrium is supposed to be a nondegenerate minimum of the Hamiltonian. Every sphere-like component of the…

We present a geometric proof of the averaging theorem for perturbed dynamical systems on a Riemannian manifold, in the case where the flow of the unperturbed vector field is periodic and the $\mathbb{S}^{1}$-action associated to this vector…
