We prove existence of maximal entropy measures for an open set of non-uniformly expanding local diffeomorphisms on a compact Riemannian manifold. In this context the topological entropy coincides with the logarithm of the degree, and these…
A number of techniques have been developed to perturb the dynamics of $C^1$-diffeomorphisms and to modify the properties of their periodic orbits. For instance, one can locally linearize the dynamics, change the tangent dynamics, or create…
We describe an example of a $C^\infty$ diffeomorphism on a 7--manifold which has a compact invariant set such that uncountably many of its connected components are pseudocircles. (Any 7--manifold will suffice.) Furthermore, any…
We show that a strong partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism of $\mathbb{T}^3$ isotopic to Anosov has a unique quasi-attractor. Moreover, we study the entropy of the diffeomorphism restricted to this quasi-attractor.
For a nonlinear Anosov diffeomorphism of the 2-torus, we present examples of measures so that the group of $\mu$-preserving diffeomorphisms is, up to zero-entropy transformations, cyclic. For families of equilibrium states $\mu$, we…
We show that any area-preserving $C^r$-diffeomorphism of a two-dimensional surface displaying an elliptic fixed point can be $C^r$-perturbed to one exhibiting a chaotic island whose metric entropy is positive, for every $1\le r\le \infty$.…
We prove that an Anosov flow with $\mathcal{C}^{1}$ stable bundle mixes exponentially whenever the stable and unstable bundles are not jointly integrable. This allows us to show that if a flow is sufficiently close to a volume-preserving…
We prove that every endomorphism which satisfies Axiom A and the strong transversality conditions is $C^1$-inverse limit structurally stable. These conditions were conjectured to be necessary and sufficient. This result is applied to the…
A homeomorphism of a compact metric space is {\em tight} provided every non-degenerate compact connected (not necessarily invariant) subset carries positive entropy. It is shown that every $C^{1+\alpha}$ diffeomorphism of a closed surface…
This article deals with topological assumptions under which the minimal volume entropy of a closed manifold, and more generally of a finite simplicial complex, vanishes or is positive. In the first part of the article, we present…
Let $f$ be a $C^r$ ($r>1$) diffeomorphism on a compact surface $M$ with $h_{\rm top}(f)\geq\frac{\lambda^{+}(f)}{r}$ where $\lambda^{+}(f):=\lim_{n\to+\infty}\frac{1}{n}\max_{x\in M}\log \left\|Df^{n}_{x}\right\|$. We establish an…
We prove that if the stable foliation and the unstable foliation of an Anosov diffeomorphism on a connected compact manifold are $C^3$, then the diffeomorphism has fixed points. This is a partial positive answer to a Smale conjecture for…
We build an example of a non-transitive, dynamically coherent partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism $f$ on a closed $3$-manifold with exponential growth in its fundamental group such that $f^n$ is not isotopic to the identity for all $n\neq…
Asaoka & Irie recently proved a $C^{\infty}$ closing lemma of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of closed surfaces. We reformulated their techniques into a more general perturbation lemma for area-preserving diffeomorphism and proved a…
The theoretical and numerical understanding of the key concept of topological entropy is an important problem in dynamical systems. Most studies have been carried out on maps (discrete-time systems). We analyse a scenario of global changes…
In this paper we present a proof of the Verjovsky conjecture: Every codimension-one Anosov flow on a manifold of dimension greater than three is topologically equivalent to the suspension of a hyperbolic toral automorphism. In fact, the…
In this article we prove that for a $C^{1+\alpha}$ diffeomorphism on a compact Riemannian manifold, if there is a hyperbolic ergodic measure whose support is not uniformly hyperbolic, then the topological entropy of the set of irregular…
We introduce a new measure of instability of area-preserving twist diffeomorphisms, which generalizes the notions of angle of splitting of separatrices, and flux through a gap of a Cantori. As an example of application, we establish a sharp…
Let $M$ be a compact manifold and $\text{Diff}^1_m(M)$ be the set of $C^1$ volume-preserving diffeomorphisms of $M$. We prove that there is a residual subset $\mathcal {R}\subset \text{Diff}^1_m(M)$ such that each $f\in \mathcal{R}$ is a…
We consider Anosov diffeomorphisms on $\mathbb{T}^3$ such that the tangent bundle splits into three subbundles $E^s_f \oplus E^{wu}_f \oplus E^{su}_f.$ We show that if $f$ is $C^r, r \geq 2,$ volume preserving, then $f$ is $C^1$ conjugated…
