Let $\Phi$ be a pseudo-Anosov diffeomorphism of a compact (possibly non-orientable) surface $\Sigma$ with one boundary component. We show that if $b \in \pi_1(\Sigma)$ is the boundary word, $\phi \in {\rm{Aut}}(\pi_1(\Sigma))$ is a…

We study a class of normal affine surfaces with additive group actions which contains in particular the Danielewski surfaces in $\ba^{3}$ given by the equations $x^{n}z=P(y)$, where $P$ is a nonconstant polynomial with simple roots. We call…

We prove that Anosov representations from a surface group to SL(3,R) are uniquely determined by their boundary maps if and only if they do not factor over a completely reducible representation. Furthermore we discuss representations not…

The class of special generic maps is a natural class of smooth maps containing Morse functions on spheres with exactly two singular points and canonical projections of unit spheres. We find new restrictions on such maps on $6$-dimensional…

Let $f$ be a harmonic map from a Riemann surface to a Riemannian $n$-manifold. We prove that if there is a holomorphic diffeomorphism $h$ between open subsets of the surface such that $f\circ h = f$, then $f$ factors through a holomorphic…

In this note, we deduce a partial answer to the question in the title. In particular, we show that asymptotically almost all bi-Perron algebraic unit whose characteristic polynomial has degree at most $2n$ do not correspond to dilatations…

Let $\phi$ be a birational map of the complex projective plane. We know that $\phi$ can be written as a composition of automorphisms of $\mathbb{P}^2_\mathbb{C}$ and the standard quadratic birational map $\sigma$. This writing, that is…

We classify rational surfaces for which the image of the automorphisms group in the group of linear transformations of the Picard group is the largest possible. This answers a question raised by Arthur Coble in 1928, and can be rephrased in…

It is conjectured that every manifold admitting an Anosov diffeomorphism is, up to homeomorphism, finitely covered by a nilmanifold. Motivated by this conjecture, an important problem is to determine which nilmanifolds admit an Anosov…

Let $f$ be a pseudo-Anosov homeomorphism on a closed, oriented surface. We give an effective construction of Markov partitions for $f$ based on a simple combinatorial criterion deciding when an immersed graph bounds a Markov partition. This…

We define a signed count of real rational pseudo-holomorphic curves appearing in a one-parameter family of real Spin symplectic K3 surfaces. We show that this count is an invariant of the deformation class of the family. In the case of a…

We calculate the rational cohomology of the classifying space of the diffeomorphism group of the manifolds $U_{g,1}^n:= \#^g(S^n \times S^{n+1})\setminus \mathrm{int}{D^{2n+1}}$, for large $g$ and $n$, up to approximately degree $n$. The…

A classification of partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms on 3-dimensional manifolds with (virtually) solvable fundamental group is obtained. If such a diffeomorphism does not admit a periodic attracting or repelling two-dimensional torus,…

If there exists a diffeomorphism $f$ on a closed, orientable $n$-manifold $M$ such that the non-wandering set $\Omega(f)$ consists of finitely many orientable $(\pm)$ attractors derived from expanding maps, then $M$ must be a rational…

We explore the existence of homomorphisms between outer automorphism groups of free groups Out(F_n) \to Out(F_m). We prove that if n > 8 is even and n \neq m \leq 2n, or n is odd and n \neq m \leq 2n - 2, then all such homomorphisms have…

A non-singular complete irreducible algebraic curve $F_{k,n}$, defined over an algebraically closed field $K$, is called a generalized Fermat curve of type $(k,n)$, where $n, k \geq 2$ are integers and $k$ is relatively prime to the…

This work dynamically classifies a 9-parametric family of birational maps f : C2 -> C2. From the sequence of the degrees dn of the iterates of f, we find the dynamical degree delta(f) of f. We identify when dn grows periodically, linearly,…

Recently there has been renewed interest in the mapping-class group of a compact surface of genus $g \ge 2$ and also in its finite order elements. A finite order element of the mapping-class group will be a conformal automorphisms on some…

We consider a real analytic diffeomorphism $\psi_0$ on a n-dimensional disk D, n >= 2, exhibiting a Feigenbaum-Coullet-Tresser (F.C.T.) attractor, being far, in the standard topology of the real analytic diffeomorphism space C(D), from the…

We consider classes of partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism $f:M\to M$ with splitting $TM=E^s\oplus E^c\oplus E^u$ and $\dim E^c=2$. These classes include for instance (perturbations of) the product of Anosov and conservative surface…
