We give a new method to construct isolated left orderings of groups whose positive cones are finitely generated. Our construction uses an amalgamated free product of two groups having an isolated ordering. We construct a lot of new examples…
This article extends the theorem of the absence of wandering domains from unimodal maps to infinitely period-doubling renormalizable H\'enon-like maps in the strongly dissipative (area contracting) regime. The theorem solves an open problem…
We prove that the pure braid groups on closed, orientable surfaces are bi-orderable, and that the pure braid groups on closed, non-orientable surfaces have generalized torsion, thus they are not bi-orderable.
Energy-minimizing constraint maps are a natural extension of the obstacle problem within a vectorial framework. Due to inherent topological constraints, these maps manifest a diverse structure that includes singularities similar to harmonic…
In this article we study two "strong" topologies for spaces of smooth functions from a finite-dimensional manifold to a (possibly infinite-dimensional) manifold modeled on a locally convex space. Namely, we construct Whitney type topologies…
We obtain relations among the characteristic classes of a manifold M admitting corank one maps. Our relations yield strong restrictions on the cobordism class of M and also nonexistence results for singular maps of the projective spaces. We…
Cocycles are constructed by polynomial expressions for Alexander quandles. As applications, non-triviality of some quandle homology groups are proved, and quandle cocycle invariants of knots are studied. In particular, for an infinite…
Inspired by work of McMullen, we show that any orbit for the action of the diagonal group on the space of lattices, accumulates on a stable lattice. We use this to settle a conjecture of Ramharter about Mordell's constant, get new proofs of…
In this article we study the space of left- and bi-invariant orderings on a torsion-free nilpotent group $G$. We will show that generally the set of such orderings is equipped with a faithful action of the automorphism group of $G$. We…
The deformability condition for submanifolds of fixed degree immersed in a graded manifold can be expressed as a system of first order PDEs. In the particular but important case of ruled submanifolds, we introduce a natural choice of…
For a continuous self-map $T$ of a compact metrizable space with finite topological entropy, the order of accumulation of entropy of $T$ is a countable ordinal that arises in the theory of entropy structure and symbolic extensions. Given…
For some class of mappings, there are investigated problems connected with a possibility of continuous extension to a boundary on Riemannian manifolds. In particular, for so-called ring mappings, there is proved a result related to…
We show that the homology over a field of the space of free maps from the n-sphere to the n-fold suspension of X depends only on the cohomology algebra of X and compute it explicitly. We compute also the homology of the closely related…
Racks and quandles are rich algebraic structures that are strong enough to classify knots. Here we develop several fundamental categorical aspects of the theories of racks and quandles and their relation to the theory of permutations. In…
We consider fully effective orientation-preserving smooth actions of a given finite group G on smooth, closed, oriented 3-manifolds M. We investigate the relations that necessarily hold between the numbers of fixed points of various…
In this paper, we explore the bounded cohomology of quandles and its applications to knot theory. We establish two key results that provide sufficient conditions for the infinite dimensionality of the second bounded cohomology of quandles.…
We are concerned with mapping class groups of surfaces with nonempty boundary. We present a very natural method, due to Thurston, of finding many different left orderings of such groups. The construction involves equipping the surface with…
Quandles are self-distributive algebraic structures known as sources of strong knots invariants, but also appearing in other contexts. From any quandle, one can construct two invariants: the structure group and the second quandle homology…
We investigate the regularity of invariant curves of rotation number $1/2$ for a special class of symplectic twist maps of the annulus, billiard maps. We construct strictly convex smooth tables close to the circle having singular (i.e. not…
We give an alternate proof of the left-orderability of the mapping class group of a connected oriented infinite-type surface with a non-empty boundary. Our main strategy involves the inductive construction of a countable stable Alexander…
