We prove a result allowing to build (transitive or non-transitive) Anosov flows on 3-manifolds by gluing together filtrating neighborhoods of hyperbolic sets. We give several applications; for example: 1. we build a 3-manifold supporting…
We find a local solution to the Ricci flow equation under a negative lower bound for many known curvature conditions. The flow exists for a uniform amount of time, during which the curvature stays bounded below by a controllable negative…
The Long-time behavior of orbits is one of the most fundamental properties in dynamical systems. Poincar\'e studied the Poisson stability, which satisfies a time-reversal symmetric condition, to capture the property of whether points return…
We construct topological invariants, called abstract weak orbit spaces, of flows and homeomorphisms on topological spaces, to describe both gradient dynamics and recurrent dynamics. In particular, the abstract weak orbit spaces of flows on…
We exhibit a pseudo-Anosov homeomorphism of a surface S which acts trivially on the first homology group of S and whose flux is non zero
We show that for a taut foliation F with one-sided branching of an atoroidal 3-manifold M, one can construct a pair of genuine laminations with solid torus complementary regions which bind every leaf of F in a geodesic lamination. These…
We classify isotopy classes of automorphisms (self-homeomorphisms) of 3-manifolds satisfying the Thurston Geometrization Conjecture. The classification is similar to the classification of automorphisms of surfaces developed by Nielsen and…
Let $\mathcal F$ be a co-oriented $C^2$ foliation on a closed, oriented 3-manifold. We show that $T\mathcal F$ can be perturbed to a contact structure with Reeb flow transverse to $\mathcal F$ if and only if $\mathcal F$ does not support an…
For each $n\in\mathbb{Z}^+$, we show the existence of Venice masks (i.e. intransitive sectional-Anosov flows with dense periodic orbits) containing $n$ equilibria on certain compact 3-manifolds. These examples are characterized because of…
The present paper is devoted to a study of orientation-preserving homeomorphisms on three-dimensional manifolds with a non-wandering set consisting of a finite number of surface attractors and repellers. The main results of the paper relate…
We classify quasiconformal Anosov flows whose strong stable and unstable distributions are at least two dimensional and the sum of these two distributions is smooth. We deduce from this classification result the complete classification of…
Aligned superhydrophobic surfaces with the same texture orientation reduce drag in the channel and generate secondary flows transverse to the direction of the applied pressure gradient. Here we show that a transverse shear can be easily…
A long-standing conjecture asserts that any Anosov diffeomorphism of a closed manifold is finitely covered by a diffeomorphism which is topologically conjugate to a hyperbolic automorphism of a nilpotent manifold. In this paper, we show…
We give a complete topological classification of transitive partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms in 3-manifolds in terms of Anosov flows, completing a program proposed by Pujals. In particular, this also allows to give a full answer to the…
We present a new and shorter proof of Stocking's result that any strongly irreducible Heegaard surface of a closed orientable triangulated 3-manifold is isotopic to an almost normal surface. We also re-prove a result of Jaco and Rubinstein…
We prove that for any partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism with one dimensional neutral center on a 3-manifold, the center stable and center unstable foliations are complete; moreover, each leaf of center stable and center unstable…
A pair of transverse contact distributions on a 3-manifold will in general admit no 1-parameter families of symmetries: a flow preserving both contact distributions. Here, we will determine local normal forms for such pairs admitting…
We show that if a hyperbolic 3-manifold admits a partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism then it also admits an Anosov flow. Moreover, we give a complete classification of partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism in hyperbolic 3-manifolds as well as…
Let $v$ be a continuous flow with arbitrary singularities on a compact surface. Then we show that if $v$ is non-wandering then $v$ is topologically equivalent to a $C^{\infty}$ flow such that there are no exceptional orbits and $\mathrm{P}…
In this paper, we describe a new approach to the problem of classification of transitive Anosov flows on 3-manifolds up to orbital equivalence. More specifically, generalizing the notion of Markov partition, we introduce the notion of…
