Expanding on work by Conway, Orson, and Powell, we study the isotopy classes rel. boundary of nonorientable, compact, locally flatly embedded surfaces in $D^4$ with knot group $\mathbb{Z}_2$. In particular we show that if two such surfaces…

We show that, for any compact surface, there is a residual (dense $G_\delta$) set of $C^1$ area preserving diffeomorphisms which either are Anosov or have zero Lyapunov exponents a.e. This result was announced by R. Mane, but no proof was…

We gave an alternative short proof on the finite generation of holomorphic functions with polynomial growth on Riemann surfaces with nonnegative curvature. The first proof was due to Li and Tam.

A triangulation of a punctured or pinched surface is irreducible if no edge can be shrunk without producing multiple edges or changing the topological type of the surface. The finiteness of the set of (non-isomorphic) irreducible…

Given a nonorientable, locally flatly embedded surface in the $4$-sphere of nonorientable genus $h$, Massey showed that the normal Euler number lies in $\lbrace -2h,-2h+4,\ldots,2h-4,2h \rbrace$. We prove that every such surface with knot…

74J30The maximal group of Lie point symmetries of a system of nonlinear equations used in geophysical fluid dynamics is presented. The Lie algebra of this group is infinite-dimensional and involves three arbitrary functions of time. The…

We introduce a new technique, based on Gaussian maps, to study the possibility, for a given surface, to lie on a threefold as a very ample divisor with given normal bundle. We give several applications, among which one to surfaces of…

We prove an upper bound for pointwise rotation of mappings with $p$-exponentially integrable distortion. We also show that this bound is essentially optimal by providing examples which attain this rotation up to a constant multiplication.

Let $(M,g)$ be a closed oriented Riemannian $3$-manifold and suppose that there is a strongly irreducible Heegaard splitting $H$. We prove that $H$ is either isotopic to a minimal surface of index at most one or isotopic to the stable…

We prove a finite smooth version of the entropic continuity of Lyapunov exponents of Buzzi-Crovisier-Sarig for $C^\infty$ surface diffeomorphisms [9]. As a consequence we show that any $C^r$, $r > 1$, smooth surface diffeomorphism $f$ with…

We prove the transitivity of real Anosov diffeomorphisms, which are Anosov diffeomorphisms where stable and unstable spaces decompose into a continuous sum of invariant one-dimensional sub-spaces with uniform contraction/expansion over the…

For each pseudo-Anosov map $\phi$ on surface $S$, we will associate it with a $\mathbb{Q}$-submodule of $\mathbb{R}$, denoted by $A(S,\phi)$. $A(S,\phi)$ is defined by an interaction between the Thurston norm and dilatation of pseudo-Anosov…

We prove that if a geodesic metric measure space satisfies a comparison condition for isoperimetric profile and if the observable variance is maximal, then the space is foliated by minimal geodesics, where the observable variance is defined…

Let $\delta_g$ be the minimal dilatation for pseudo-Anosovs on a closed surface $\Sigma_g$ of genus $g$ and let $\delta_g^+$ be the minimal dilatation for pseudo-Anosovs on $\Sigma_g$ with orientable invariant foliations. This paper…

Using a recent result of Bowden, Hensel and Webb, we prove the existence of homeomorphisms with positive stable commutator length in the groups of homeomorphisms of the real projective plane and M\"obius strip which are isotopic to the…

The geodesic length spectrum of a complete, finite volume, hyperbolic 3-orbifold M is a fundamental invariant of the topology of M via Mostow-Prasad Rigidity. Motivated by this, the second author and Reid defined a two-dimensional analogue…

In this paper, we study the exterior problem for the maximal surface equation. We obtain the precise asymptotic behavior of the exterior solution at infinity. And we prove that the exterior Dirichlet problem is uniquely solvable given…

Gromov conjectured that any irreducible lattice in a symmetric space of rank at least 3 should have at most polynomial Dehn function. We prove that the lattice Sp(2p;Z) has quadratic Dehn function when p is at least 5. By results of…

In his seminal work on Teichm\"uller spaces (\cite{Th98}), Thurston introduced the maximal stretch for a pair of hyperbolic metrics on a closed surface of genus $\geq 2$ and showed that the logarithm of this quantity induces an asymmetric…

Given closed possibly nonorientable surfaces $M,N$, we prove that if a map $f:M\to N$ has degree $d>0$, then $\chi(M)\le d\cdot\chi(N)$. We give all necessary comments on the definition and properties of geometric degree, which can be…
