Persistence modules and barcodes are used in symplectic topology to define various invariants of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms, however numerical methods for computing these barcodes are not yet well developed. In this paper we define one…

We consider an area-preserving diffeomorphism of a compact surface, which is assumed to be an irrational rotation near each boundary component. A finite set of periodic orbits of the diffeomorphism gives rise to a braid in the mapping…

Area-preserving diffeomorphisms of a 2-disc can be regarded as time-1 maps of (non-autonomous) Hamiltonian flows on solid tori, periodic flow-lines of which define braid (conjugacy) classes, up to full twists. We examine the dynamics…

A translated point of a contactomorphism $\phi$ on a contact manifold with contact form $\alpha$ is a point $p$ where $\alpha$ is preserved under $\phi$ and whose image under $\phi$ lies in the same Reeb trajectory. They were introduced as…

We use generating function techniques developed by Givental, Th\'eret and ourselves to deduce a proof in $\mathbb{C}\text{P}^d$ of the homological generalization of Franks theorem due to Shelukhin. This result proves in particular the…

As countless examples show, it can be fruitful to study a sequence of complicated objects all at once via the formalism of generating functions. We apply this point of view to the homology and combinatorics of orbit configuration spaces:…

We adapt the notion of generating functions for lagrangian submanifolds to symplectic microgeometry. We show that a symplectic micromorphism always admits a global generating function. As an application, we describe hamiltonian flows as…

Let $f:S^1\times [0,1]\to S^1\times [0,1]$ be a real-analytic annulus diffeomorphism which is homotopic to the identity map and preserves an area form. Assume that for some lift $\tilde {f}:\mathbb{R}\times [0,1]\rightarrow \mathbb{R}\times…

The definition of conservative-irreversible functions is extended to smooth manifolds. The local representation of these functions is studied and reveals that not each conservative-irreversible function is given by the weighted product of…

This paper studies the geometry of the group of all co-Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of a compact cosymplectic manifold $(M, \omega, \eta)$. The fix-point theory for co-Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms is studied, and we use Arnold's conjecture to…

Following an idea of Fr\'ed\'eric le Roux, we define in this paper a family of Hofer-type pseudonorms on braid groups, computing the minimal energy of a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism which fixes a Lagrangian configuration of circles on the…

In this article we study persistence features of topological entropy and periodic orbit growth of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms on surfaces with respect to Hofer's metric. We exhibit stability of these dynamical quantities in a rather strong…

Given a pre-monotone Lagrangian link, we obtain Hofer energy estimates for Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms preserving it. Such estimates depend on the braid type of the Hamiltonian diffeomorphism only, and the natural language to talk about…

We study topological entropy of compactly supported Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms from a perspective of persistence homology and Floer theory. We introduce barcode entropy, a Floer-theoretic invariant of a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism,…

This paper is concerned with the characterizations of fixed points of the generating function of branching processes with countably infinitely many types. We assume each particle of type $i$ can only give offspring of type $j\geq i$, whose…

This paper meticulously revisit and study the flux geometry of any compact oriented manifold $(M; W)$. We generalize several well-known factorization results, exhibit some orbital conditions for the study of flux geometry, give a proof of…

Gravitationally collapsed objects are known to be biased tracers of an underlying density contrast. Using symmetry arguments, generalised biasing schemes have recently been developed to relate the halo density contrast $\delta_h$ with the…

It is well known that the behaviour of a branching process is completely described by the generating function of the offspring law and its fixed points. Branching random walks are a natural generalization of branching processes: a branching…

We construct Hamiltonian Floer complexes associated to continuous, and even lower semi-continuous, time dependent exhaustion functions on geometrically bounded symplectic manifolds. We further construct functorial continuation maps…

We study a generating function for the sum over fatgraphs with specified valences of vertices and faces, inversely weighted by the order of their symmetry group. A compact expression is found for general (i.e. non necessarily connected)…
