The fact that the modular template coincides with the Lorenz template, discovered by Ghys, implies modular knots have very peculiar properties. We obtain a generalization of these results to other Hecke triangle groups. In this context, the…
We use entropy theory as a new tool to study sectional hyperbolic flows in any dimension. We show that for $C^1$ flows, every sectional hyperbolic set $\Lambda$ is entropy expansive, and the topological entropy varies continuously with the…
The main result of this work is the following: for volume preserving flows on compact manifolds with the $C^r$ topology, $1 \leqq r \leqq \infty$ , the closure of every invariant manifold of periodic orbits and singularities is a chain…
We define oscillating sequences which include the M\"obius function in the number theory. We also define minimally mean attractable flows and minimally mean-L-stable flows. It is proved that all oscillating sequences are linearly disjoint…
This article deals with topological assumptions under which the minimal volume entropy of a closed manifold, and more generally of a finite simplicial complex, vanishes or is positive. In the first part of the article, we present…
In this work, we introduce the notion of entropy at infinity, and define a wide class of noncompact manifolds with negative curvature, those which admit a critical gap between entropy at infinity and topological entropy. We call them…
In this paper we outline a topological framework for constructing 2-periodic knitted stitches and an algebra for joining stitches together to form more complicated textiles. Our topological framework can be constructed from certain…
It is a well-known fact, that the greatest ambit for a topological group $G$ is the Samuel compactification of $G$ with respect to the right uniformity on $G.$ We apply the original destription by Samuel from 1948 to give a simple…
We study $2$-dimensional unit vector flows on graphs, that is, nowhere-zero flows that assign to each oriented edge a unit vector in $\mathbb R^{3}$. We give a new geometric characterization of $\mathbb S^{2}$-flows on cubic graphs. We also…
Finite topology self translating surfaces to mean curvature flow of surfaces constitute a key element for the analysis of Type II singularities from a compact surface, since they arise in a limit after suitable blow-up scalings around the…
Topological equivalence of Morse-Smale flows without fixed points (NMS-flows) under assumptions of different generalities was studied in a number of papers. In some cases when the number of periodic orbits is small, it is possible to give…
This paper concerns connections between dynamical systems, knots and helicity of vector fields. For a divergence-free vector field on a closed $3$-manifold that generates an Anosov flow, we show that the helicity of the vector field may be…
We prove that every sectional-Anosov flow of a compact 3-manifold $M$ exhibits a finite collection of hyperbolic attractors and singularities whose basins form a dense subset of $M$. Applications to the dynamics of sectional-Anosov flows on…
Let the circle act symplectically on a compact, connected symplectic manifold $M$. If there are exactly three fixed points, $M$ is equivariantly symplectomorphic to $\mathbb{CP}^2$.
Let $M$ be a compact Riemannian manifold. The set $\text{F}^{r}(M)$ consisting of sequences $(f_{i})_{i\in\mathbb{Z}}$ of $C^{r}$-diffeomorphisms on $M$ can be endowed with the compact topology or with the strong topology. A notion of…
We construct diffeomorphisms of ``pseudo-Anosov type'' on K3 surfaces M. In particular we obtain infinitely many examples of such diffeomorphisms that minimize entropy in their homotopy class, and for which neither the diffeomorphism nor…
Similar to knots in S^3, any knot in a lens space has a grid diagram from which one can combinatorially compute all of its knot Floer homology invariants. We give an explicit description of the generators, differentials, and rational Maslov…
It is shown that every knot or link is the set of complex tangents of a 3-sphere smoothly embedded in the three-dimensional complex space. We show in fact that a one-dimensional submanifold of a closed orientable 3-manifold can be realised…
We show that a small neighborhood of a closed symplectic submanifold in a geometrically bounded aspherical symplectic manifold has non-vanishing symplectic homology. As a consequence, we establish the existence of contractible closed…
It is shown that if a regular knot of class C2 is embedded in the boundary of the complex hyperbolic plane as the limit set of a discrete subgroup of PU(2, 1) then it is either a chain or an R-circle.
