In this work, we deal with a notion of partially hyperbolic endomorphism. We explore topological properties of this definition and we obtain, among other results, obstructions to get center leaf conjugacy with the linear part, for a class…
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 study the transverse geometric behavior of 2-dimensional foliations in 3-manifolds. We show that an R-covered transversely orientable foliation with Gromov hyperbolic leaves in a closed 3-manifold admits a regulating, transverse…
We consider parabolic flows on 3-dimensional manifolds which are renormalized by circle extensions of Anosov diffeormorphisms. This class of flows includes nilflows on the Heisenberg nilmanifold which are renormalized by partially…
We propose a new method for constructing partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms on closed manifolds. As a demonstration of the method we show that there are simply connected closed manifolds that support partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms.
We first prove rigidity results for pseudo-Anosov flows in prototypes of toroidal 3-manifolds: we show that a pseudo-Anosov flow in a Seifert fibered manifold is up to finite covers topologically equivalent to a geodesic flow and we show…
We consider a hyperbolic automorphism $A\colon\mathbb T^3\to\mathbb T^3$ of the 3-torus whose 2-dimensional unstable distribution splits into weak and strong unstable subbundles. We unfold $A$ into two one-parameter families of Anosov…
We study nonhyperbolic and transitive partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms having a one-dimensional center. We prove joint flexibility with respect to entropy and center Lyapunov exponent for a broad class of these systems. Flexibility…
We show that if M is a hyperbolic 3-manifold which admits a quasigeodesic flow, then pi_1(M) acts faithfully on a universal circle by homeomorphisms, and preserves a pair of invariant laminations of this circle. As a corollary, we show that…
We consider partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms $f$ with a one-dimensional central direction such that the unstable entropy exceeds the stable entropy. Our main result proves that such maps have a finite number of ergodic measures of…
Shub & Wilkinson and Ruelle & Wilkinson studied a class of volume preserving diffeomorphisms on the three dimensional torus that are stably ergodic. The diffeomorphisms are partially hyperbolic and admit an invariant central foliation of…
In this text we (re)-tell the theory of pseudo-Anosov flows on 3-manifolds with the orbit space as the central character; via a streamlined framework called {\em Anosov-like group actions}. This brings a simplified and unified perspective,…
In this work we obtain some metric and ergodic properties of $C^{1+}$ partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms with one-dimensional topological neutral center, mainly regarding the behavior of its center foliation. Based on a trichotomy for the…
We show that the identity component of the group of diffeomorphisms of a closed oriented surface of positive genus admits many unbounded quasi-morphisms. As a corollary, we also deduce that this group is not uniformly perfect and its…
We prove the hyperbolicity of ergodic maximal entropy measures for a class of partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms of $\mathbb{T}^{d}$, which have a compact two-dimensional center foliation.
Let f:M->M be a partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism such that all of its center leaves are compact. We prove that Sullivan's example of a circle foliation that has arbitrary long leaves cannot be the center foliation of f. This is proved by…
We present a new approach to hyperbolic plugs, via a construction of bicontact plugs on 3-manifolds with boundary that are surface bundles over the circle. The boundary components are quasi transverse tori, and we prove a gluing theorem…
Let $f$ be a non-invertible partially hyperbolic endomorphism on $\mathbb{T}^2$ which is derived from a non-expanding Anosov endomorphism. Differing from the case of diffeomorphisms derived from Anosov automorphisms, there is no a priori…
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…
We prove that for volume preserving, partially hyperbolic, center bunched endomorphisms with constant Jacobian, essential accessibility implies ergodicity.
