We study the recurrence properties of certain skew products over symmetric interval exchange transformations, including rotations, with cocycles of the form $f(x)=-\frac{1}{x^a}+\frac{1}{(1-x)^a}$, where $a>1$. We prove that typically, such…

We construct an explicit algebraic example of a subshift of finite type over a group $\Gamma$ with an invariant Markov measure which has completely positive sofic entropy (with respect to `most' sofic approximations) and yet does not have a…

A strong submeasure on a compact metric space X is a sub-linear and bounded operator on the space of continuous functions on X. A strong submeasure is positive if it is non-decreasing. By Hahn-Banach theorem, a positive strong submeasure is…

In [Bre19], Simon Brendle showed that any compact manifold of dimension $n\geq12$ with positive isotropic curvature and contains no nontrivial incompressible $(n-1)-$dimensional space form is diffeomorphic to a connected sum of finitely…

We study $C^r$ ($5 \le r \le \infty$) diffeomorphisms on closed manifolds of dimension at least three with a heteroclinic cycle between two hyperbolic periodic points. At each point, the unstable direction is one dimensional, and the stable…

For a fixed topological Markov shift, we consider measure-preserving dynamical systems of Gibbs measures for 2-locally constant functions on the shift. We also consider isomorphisms between two such systems. We study the set of all…

This note illustrates the strategy of our paper on piecewise affine surface homeomorphisms by giving a new proof of the finite multiplicity of the maximum entropy measure of Anosov diffeomorphisms (here on surfaces). This approach avoids…

In this paper, we develop a notion of \emph{strongly positive reccurent} (SPR) property for a convergence group with a continuous Gromov-Patterson-Sullivan (GPS) system defined by Blayac-Canary-Zhang-Zimmer. We prove that these SPR groups…

We introduce and study skew product Smale endomorphisms over finitely irreducible topological Markov shifts with countable alphabets. We prove that almost all conditional measures of equilibrium states of summable and locally Holder…

We prove that every $C^2$ Anosov diffeomorphism in a compact and connected Riemannian manifold has a unique SRB and physical probability measure, whose basin of attraction covers Lebesgue almost every point in the manifold. Then, we use…

Let $f:X\to X$ be a dominating meromorphic map of a compact K\"ahler surface of large topological degree. Let $S$ be a positive closed current on $X$ of bidegree $(1,1)$. We consider an ergodic measure $\nu$ of large entropy supported by…

Models of gravity in warped extra dimensions enjoy invariance under diffeomorphism. We derive the nonlinear transformation rules for the metric perturbations in the unitary gauge. As an off-shell symmetry, the main consequence of…

We summarize some results of geometric measure theory concerning rectifiable sets and measures. Combined with the entropic chain rule for disintegrations (Vigneaux, 2021), they account for some properties of the entropy of rectifiable…

Let $E$ be a uniformly smooth and uniformly convex real Banach space and $E^*$ be its dual space. Suppose $A : E\rightarrow E^*$ is bounded, strongly monotone and satisfies the range condition such that $A^{-1}(0)\neq \emptyset$. Inspired…

We construct strongly mixing invariant measures with full support for operators on F-spaces which satisfy the Frequent Hypercyclicity Criterion. For unilateral backward shifts on sequence spaces, a slight modification shows that one can…

For a $C^{r}$ $(r>1)$ diffeomorphism on a compact manifold that admits a dominated splitting, this paper establishes the upper semi-continuity of the entropy map. More precisely, this paper establishes the upper semi-continuity of the…

In this paper we study the existence of positive Lyapunov exponents for three different types of skew products, whose fibers are compact Riemannian surfaces and the action on the fibers are by volume preserving diffeomorphisms. These three…

We study the topology of closed, simply-connected, 6-dimensional Riemannian manifolds of positive sectional curvature which admit isometric actions by $SU(2)$ or $SO(3)$. We show that their Euler characteristic agrees with that of the known…

Let $M$ be a closed surface and $f$ a diffeomorphism of $M$. A diffeomorphism is said to permute a dense collection of domains, if the union of the domains are dense and the iterates of any one domain are mutually disjoint. In this note, we…

We prove that a class of one-dimensional maps with an arbitrary number of non-degenerate critical and singular points admits an induced Markov tower with exponential return time asymptotics. In particular the map has an absolutely…
