We relate the Mather invariant of diffeomorphisms of the (closed) interval to their asymptotic distortion. For maps with only parabolic fixed points, we show that the former is trivial if and only if the latter vanishes. As a consequence,…
Suppose that f and g are Markov surjections, each defined on a wedge of circles, each fixing the branch point and having the branch point as the only critical value. We show that if the points in the inverse limit spaces associated with f…
We classify the measure theoretic attractors of general C^3 unimodal maps with quadratic critical points. The main ingredient is the decay of geometry.
Given a $d$-dimensional torus map $F(z)=Mz+G(z)\bmod 1$, where $M$ is an integer-matrix and and $G$ is a periodic function, we find conditions on $M$ under which $F$ is semi-conjugate to a linear torus map, independently of $G$. We also…
We prove that two topologically conjugate bi-critical circle maps whose signatures are the same, and whose renormalizations converge together exponentially fast in the $C^2$-topology, are $C^1$ conjugate.
By studying various rational integrable maps on $\mathbf{\hat C}^d$ with $p$ invariants, we show that periodic points form an invariant variety of dimension $\ge p$ for each period, in contrast to the case of nonintegrable maps in which…
In this note we obtain the surjectivity of smooth maps into Euclidean spaces under mild conditions. As application we give a new proof of the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra. We also observe that any $C^1$-map from a compact manifold into…
We consider C^r-diffeomorphisms of a compact smooth manifold having a pair of robust heterodimensional cycles where r is a positive integer or infinity. We prove that if certain conditions about the signatures of non-linearities and…
We consider certain correspondences on a Riemann surface, and show that they admit a weak form of hyperbolicity: sufficiently long loops get shorter under lifting at a fixed point and closing. In terms of their algebraic encoding by bisets,…
If $X$ is a compact set, a {\it topological contraction} is a self-embedding $f$ such that the intersection of the successive images $f^k(X)$, $k>0$, consists of one point. In dimension 3, we prove that there are smooth topological…
We consider critical curves -- conformally invariant curves that appear at critical points of two-dimensional statistical mechanical systems. We show how to describe these curves in terms of the Coulomb gas formalism of conformal field…
We prove that any two $C^4$ critical circle maps with the same irrational rotation number and the same odd criticality are conjugate to each other by a $C^1$ circle diffeomorphism. The conjugacy is $C^{1+\alpha}$ for Lebesgue almost every…
Quantum entanglement can be an effective diagnostic tool for probing topological phases protected by global symmetries. Recently, the notion of nontrivial topology in critical systems has been proposed and is attracting growing attention.…
We prove existence of equilibrium states with special properties for a class of distance expanding local homeomorphisms on compact metric spaces and continuous potentials. Moreover, we formulate a C$^1$ generalization of Pesin's Entropy…
We define a class of smashing localisations which we call compactly central, and classify compactly central localisations of $Sp_{(p)}$ and of $Sp$. Our main result is that $L_n^f$ is a compactly central localisation. A map $\alpha: 1 \to…
A graph is said to be globally rigid in $d$-dimensional space if almost all of its embeddings are unique up to isometries. If a graph has enough automorphisms to send any of its vertices into any other, then it is called vertex-transitive.…
We analyze emergent quantum multi-criticality for strongly interacting, massless Dirac fermions in two spatial dimensions ($d=2$) within the framework of Gross-Neveu-Yukawa models, by considering the competing order parameters that give…
The composition $\mathcal{F} \circ \mathcal{G}$ of two combinatorial classes $\mathcal{F}$ and $\mathcal{G}$ is a standard combinatorial construction and translates into the composition $F(G(z))$ of their corresponding counting generating…
If a topological dynamical system $(X,T)$ has positive topological entropy, then it is multivariant mean Li-Yorke chaotic along a sequence $\{a_k\}_{k=1}^\infty$ of positive integers which is "good" for pointwise ergodic convergence with a…
We show that $C^\infty$ surface diffeomorphisms with positive topological entropy have at most finitely many ergodic measures of maximal entropy in general, and at most one in the topologically transitive case. This answers a question of…
