For a compact contact manifold it is shown that the anisotropic Folland-Stein function spaces form an algebra. The notion of anisotropic regularity is extended to define the space of Folland-Stein contact diffeomorphisms, which is shown to…

Despite the invertible setting, Anosov endomorphisms may have infinitely many unstable directions. Here we prove, under transitivity assumption, that an Anosov endomorphism on a closed manifold $M,$ is either special (that is, every $x \in…

We use lens-shaped models and the second obstruction to pseudoisotopy to construct a nontrivial diffeomorphism of $M\times I$ where $M$ is the connected sum of $S^1\times S^2$ with a another nonsimply connected 3-manifold $M'$. Then we take…

We find a family of five dimensional completely solvable compact manifolds that constitute the first examples of $K$-contact manifolds which satisfy the Hard Lefschetz Theorem and have a model of Tievsky type just as Sasakian manifolds but…

This paper establishes a significant result concerning the absence of conjugate points in certain complete Riemannian manifolds. Specifically, we demonstrate that any complete non-compact manifold with curvature bounded below and an Anosov…

In this paper we consider the space of smooth conjugacy classes of an Anosov diffeomorphism of the two-torus. The only 2-manifold that supports an Anosov diffeomorphism is the 2-torus, and Franks and Manning showed that every such…

In this work, we investigate diffeomorphisms whose positiveness of topological entropy is destroyed by singular suspensions. We show that this phenomenon is rare in the set of $C^1$-diffeomorphisms. Precisely, we prove that for an open and…

We provide an infinite family of diffeomorphic symplectic forms on ruled surfaces, which are pairwise non-isotopic. This answers a uniqueness question regarding symplectic structures up to isotopy on closed symplectic four-manifolds.

Given a contact structure on a closed, oriented three-manifold $Y$, we describe an invariant which takes values in the three-manifold's Floer homology $\HFa$. This invariant vanishes for overtwisted contact structures and is non-zero for…

This article clarifies the status of linearized contact homology given the foundations of the contact dg-algebra established by Pardon. In particular, we prove that the set of isomorphism classes of linearized contact homologies of a closed…

We introduce a new object, the dynamical torsion, which extends the potentially ill-defined value at $0$ of the Ruelle zeta function of a contact Anosov flow twisted by an acyclic representation of the fundamental group. We show important…

We construct examples of volume-preserving uniquely ergodic (and hence minimal) real-analytic diffeomorphisms on odd-dimemsional spheres

For Anosov flows obtained by suspensions of Anosov diffeomorphisms on surfaces, we show the following type of rigidity result: if a topological conjugacy between them is differentiable at a point, then the conjugacy has a smooth extension…

We prove the non-existence of Vaisman metrics on some solvmanifolds with a left-invariant complex structure. By this theorem, we show that every Oeljeklaus-Toma manifold with $(s,1)$ admits no Vaisman metric.

In this paper, we study and almost completely classify contact structures on closed 3--manifolds which are totally geodesic for some Riemannian metric. Due to previously known results, this amounts to classifying contact structures on…

Let $M$ be a closed smooth manifold and let $f:M\to M$ be a diffeomorphism. $C^1$-generically, a continuum-wise expansive satisfies Axiom A without cycles. Moreover, there is a partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism $f$ such that it is not…

An infra-nilmanifold is a manifold which is constructed as a quotient space $\Gamma\backslash G$ of a simply connected nilpotent Lie group $G$, where $\Gamma$ is a discrete group acting properly discontinuously and cocompactly on $G$ via so…

We study 9 and 10-dimensional Anosov Lie algebras, by using the properties of very special algebraic numbers. We classify k-step complex Anosov Lie algebras for $k>2$ and in the two step case, we give an example in each possible type, or we…

We exhibit a local residual set of surface $C^1$ diffeomorphisms that are continuum-wise expansive but are not expansive. We also exhibit an open and dense set of surface $C^1$ diffeomorphisms where expansiveness implies being Anosov.

We show that any topologically transitive codimension-one Anosov flow on a closed manifold is topologically equivalent to a smooth Anosov flow that preserves a smooth volume. By a classical theorem due to Verjovsky, any higher dimensional…
