We prove a result about extension of a minimal AF-equivalence relation R on the Cantor set X, the extension being `small' in the sense that we modify R on a thin closed subset Y of X. We show that the resulting extended equivalence relation…
In this paper we prove two theorems. The first one is a structure result that describes the extrinsic geometry of an embedded surface with constant mean curvature (possibly zero) in a homogeneously regular Riemannian three-manifold, in any…
We prove that a `small' extension of a minimal AF equivalence relation on a Cantor set is orbit equivalent to the AF relation. By a `small' extension we mean an equivalence relation generated by the minimal AF equivalence relation and…
We give a new proof of a theorem of Giordano, Putnam and Skau characterizing orbit equivalence of minimal homeomorphisms of the Cantor space in terms of their sets of invariant Borel probability measures. The proof is based on a…
Matsumoto proved in arXiv:1012.0981 that the prime end rotation numbers associated to an invariant annular continuum are contained in its rotation set. An alternative proof of this fact using only simple planar topology is presented.
We study certain countable locally finite groups attached to minimal homeomorphisms, and prove that the isomorphism relation on simple, countable, locally finite groups is a universal relation arising from a Borel $S_\infty$-action. This…
We introduce a discrete dynamical system on the integers, defined by moving a composite $m$ forward to $m+\pi(m)$ and a prime $p$ backward to $p-\mathrm{prevprime}(p)$. This map produces trajectories whose contraction properties are closely…
In this note, based on the recent remarkable results of Dufour and Prieto-Rumeau, we deduce that for an absorbing MDP with a given initial state, under a standard compactness-continuity condition, the space of occupation measures has the…
We consider a minimal scalar in the presence of a three-brane in ten dimensions. The linearized equation of motion, which is just the wave equation in the three-brane metric, can be solved in terms of associated Mathieu functions. An exact…
The aim of this note is to give a quick algebraic proof of (the combinatorial part of) the classification theorem for compact real surfaces, whose classical proofs (as in the Massey book and in the Conway ZIP proof) are based on surgery…
Measure-theoretic slow entropy is a more refined invariant than the classical measure-theoretic entropy to characterize the complexity of dynamical systems with subexponential growth rates of distinguishable orbit types. In this paper we…
The local topological dynamics of subgroups of ${\rm Diff} ({\mathbb C^n}, 0)$, with special emphasis on ${\rm Diff} ({\mathbb C^2}, 0)$, is discussed with a view towards integrability questions. It is proved in particular that a subgroup…
The emergence of orbital resonances among planets is a natural consequence of the early dynamical evolution of planetary systems. While it is well-established that convergent migration is necessary for mean-motion commensurabilities to…
The Misner and Sharp approach to the study of gravitational collapse is extended to the dissipative case in, both, the streaming out and the diffusion approximations. The role of different terms in the dynamical equation are analyzed in…
We introduce two tools, dynamical thickening and flow selectors, to overcome the infamous discontinuity of the gradient flow endpoint map near non-degenerate critical points. More precisely, we interpret the stable fibrations of certain…
A short proof of a theorem of M.H. Albert, and its application to lattices.
In this paper, we accomplish two objectives. Firstly, we extend and improve some results in the theory of (semi-)strongly self-absorbing C*-dynamical systems, which was introduced and studied in previous work. In particular, this concerns…
Gives a short proof of Dehornoy's latest result. The same simple argument (and more) was discovered by Laver's student Larue.
We present an introduction to the orbital stability of relative equilibria of Hamiltonian dynamical systems on (finite and infinite dimensional) Banach spaces. A convenient formulation of the theory of Hamiltonian dynamics with symmetry and…
We prove an analogue of the Manin-Mumford conjecture for polynomial dynamical systems over number fields. In our setting the role of torsion points is taken by the small orbit of a point $\alpha$. The small orbit of a point was introduced…
