In this work, we relate the geometry of chaotic attractors of typical analytic unimodal maps to the behavior of the critical orbit. Our main result is an explicit formula relating the combinatorics of the critical orbit with the exponents…

Harmonic coordinate conditions in stationary asymptotically flat spacetimes with matter sources have more than one solution. The solutions depend on the degree of smoothness of the metric and its first derivatives, which we wish to impose…

Continuous mappings between compact Hausdorff spaces can be studied using homomorphisms between algebraic structures (lattices, Boolean algebras) associated with the spaces. This gives us more tools with which to tackle problems about these…

Asymptotically harmonic manifolds are simply connected complete Riemannian manifolds without conjugate points such that all horospheres have the same constant mean curvature $h$. In this article we present results for harmonic functions on…

$\infty$-Harmonic maps are a generalization of $\infty$-harmonic functions. They can be viewed as the limiting cases of p-harmonic maps as p goes to infinity. In this paper, we give complete classifications of linear and quadratic…

We classify noncompact homogeneous spaces which are Einstein and asymptotically harmonic. This completes the classification of Riemannian harmonic spaces in the homogeneous case: Any simply connected homogeneous harmonic space is flat, or…

We study the degrees of homogeneous harmonic maps between simplicial cones. Such maps have been used to model the local behavior of harmonic maps between singular spaces, where the degrees of homogeneous approximations describe the…

We consider rotationally symmetric spaces with low regularity, which we regard as integral currents spaces or manifolds with Sobolev regularity and are assumed to have nonnegative scalar curvature. Relying on the flat distance and on…

In this talk, I will discuss the use of harmonic functions to study the geometry and topology of complete manifolds. In my previous joint work with Luen-fai Tam, we discovered that the number of infinities of a complete manifold can be…

We study analytic properties of harmonic maps from Riemannian polyhedra into CAT($\kappa$) spaces for $\kappa\in\{0,1\}$. Locally, on each top-dimensional face of the domain, this amounts to studying harmonic maps from smooth domains into…

We study harmonic mappings from a Riemannian manifold $N$ into a principal $G$-bundle $P$ endowed with a $G$-invariant Riemannian metric (i.e. a Kaluza-Klein metric). These morphisms are called Kaluza-Klein harmonic maps and naturally lead…

A spectral sequence calculating the homology groups of some spaces of maps equivariant under compact group actions is described. For the main example, we calculate the rational homology groups of spaces of even and odd maps $S^m \to S^M$,…

This is a survey of the recent results and unsolved problems about locally compact homogeneous metric spaces. Mostly, homogeneous finite-dimensional $ANR$-spaces are discussed.

We investigate the homogeneity of topological subspaces of separable Hilbert space, akin to the spaces with all points rational or all points irrational, so-called Erd\H{o}s spaces. We provide a non-homogeneous example, that is based on one…

In the setting of CAT(k) spaces, common fixed point iterations built from prox mappings (e.g. prox-prox, Krasnoselsky-Mann relaxations, nonlinear projected-gradients) converge locally linearly under the assumption of linear metric…

Harmonic mappings into Teichmuller spaces appear in the study of manifolds which are fibrations whose fibers are Riemann surfaces. In this article we will study the existence and uniquenesses questions of harmonic mappings into Teichmuller…

We study the hypersymplectic geometry of the moduli space of solutions to Hitchin's harmonic map equations on a $G$-bundle. This is the split-signature analogue of Hitchin's Higgs bundle moduli space. Due to the lack of definiteness, this…
