Density of stable maps is the common thread of this paper. We review Whitney's contribution to singularities of differentiable mappings and Thom-Mather theories on $C^{\infty}$ and $C^{0}$-stability. Infinitesimal and algebraic methods are…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety. Define a stable map $f:C\to X$ to be "eventually smoothable" if there is an embedding $X\hookrightarrow\mathbb{P}^N$ such that $(C,f)$ occurs as the limit of a $1$-parameter family of stable maps to…

Stability is a fundamental notion in dynamical systems and control theory that, traditionally understood, describes asymptotic behavior of solutions around an equilibrium point. This notion may be characterized abstractly as continuity of a…

Consider the (formal/analytic/algebraic) map-germs Maps(X,(k^p,o)). Let G be the group of right/contact/left-right transformations. I extend the following (classical) results from the real/complex-analytic case to the case of arbitrary…

The purpose of this paper is to give a sufficient condition for (strong) stability of non-proper smooth functions (with respect to the Whitney $C^\infty$-topology). We show that a Morse function is stable if it is end-trivial at any point…

Around 1970, Mather established a significant theory on the stability of $C^\infty$ mappings and gave a characterization of the density of proper stable mappings in the set of all proper mappings. The result yields a characterization of the…

We introduce the {\em $\mu$-topological stability}. This is a type of stability depending on the measure $\mu$ different from the set-valued approach \cite{lm}. We prove that the map $f$ is $m_p$-topologically stable if and only if $p$ is a…

We prove that a map germ $f:(\mathbb{C}^n,S)\to(\mathbb{C}^{n+1},0)$ with isolated instability is stable if and only if $\mu_I(f)=0$, where $\mu_I(f)$ is the image Milnor number defined by Mond. In a previous paper we proved this result…

A monomial (or equivariant) selfmap of a toric variety is called stable if its action on the Picard group commutes with iteration. Generalizing work of Favre to higher dimensions, we show that under suitable conditions, a monomial map can…

This paper concerns piecewise-smooth maps on $\mathbb{R}^d$ that are continuous but not differentiable on switching manifolds (where the functional form of the map changes). The stability of fixed points on switching manifolds is…

We prove a theorem on structural stability of smooth attractor-repellor endomorphisms of compact manifolds, with singularities. By attractor-repellor, we mean that the non-wandering set of the dynamics $f$ is the disjoint union of a…

We prove that if the minors of degree $k$ of a Sobolev map $\mathbb{R}^d \to \mathbb{R}^d$ are smooth then the map is smooth, when $k,d$ are not both even. We use this result to derive a simple, self-contained proof of the famous Liouville…

We give a complete and detailed proof of Harer's stability theorem for the homology of mapping class groups of surfaces, with the best stability range presently known. This theorem and its proof have seen several improvements since Harer's…

We give several versions of local and global inverse mapping theorem for tame non necessarily smooth, mappings. Here tame mapping means a mapping which is subanalytic or, more generally, definable in some o-minimal structure. Our sufficient…

We prove a regularity lemma with respect to arbitrary Keisler measures mu on V, nu on W where the bipartite graph (V,W,R) is definable in a saturated structure M and the formula R(x,y) is stable. The proof is rather quick and uses local…

We derive a sufficient condition for stability in probability of an equilibrium of a randomly perturbed map in ${\mathbb R}^d$. This condition can be used to stabilize weakly unstable equilibria by random forcing. Analytical results on…

Using sheaf theory, I introduce a continuous theory of persistence for mappings between compact manifolds. In the case both manifolds are orientable, the theory holds for integer coefficients. The sheaf introduced here is stable to…

We prove that if a continuous piecewise-smooth map on $\mathbb{R}^n$ is comprised of two linear functions, has a bounded orbit, and satisfies a certain non-degeneracy condition, then it has a fixed point. The result has important…

We introduce and study adhesive spaces. Using this concept we obtain a characterization of stable Baire maps $f:X\to Y$ of the class $\alpha$ for wide classes of topological spaces. In particular, we prove that for a topological space $X$…

For a finitely generated group, there are two recent generalizations of the notion of a quasiconvex subgroup of a word-hyperbolic group, namely a stable subgroup and a Morse or strongly quasiconvex subgroup. Durham and Taylor defined…
