We show that a minimal dynamical system $(X,\mathbb{Z})$ on a compact metric $X$ with mdim$X=d$ admits for every natural $k>d$ an equivariant map to the shift $([0,1]^k)^{\mathbb{Z}}$ such that each fiber of this map contains at most…

The aim of this article is to obtain a better understanding and classification of strictly ergodic topological dynamical systems with discrete spectrum. To that end, we first determine when an isomorphic maximal equicontinuous factor map of…

In this work, we investigate the dynamics of a general non-autonomous system generated by a commutative family of homeomorphisms. In particular, we investigate properties such as periodicity, equicontinuity, minimality and transitivity for…

It is known that if a compact metric space X admits a minimal expansive homeomorphism then X is totally disconnected. In this note we give a short proof of this result and we analyze its extension to expansive flows.

In this paper we show the existence of non minimal critical points of the Yang-Mills functional over a certain family of 4-manifolds with generic SU(2)-invariant metrics using Morse and homotopy theoretic methods. These manifolds are acted…

The aim of the present paper is essentially to prove that if $\Phi$ and $\Psi$ are two sequentially weakly lower semicontinuous functionals on a reflexive real Banach space and if $\Psi$ is also continuous and coercive, then then following…

In this paper, we apply our minimax theory ([4], [5], [6]) with the one developed by A. Moameni in [2] to formalize a general scheme giving the multiplicity of critical points. Here is a sample of application of the scheme to a critical…

In this paper, given two Banach spaces $X, Y$ and a $C^1$ functional $\Phi:X\times Y\to {\bf R}$, under general assumptions, we show that either $\Phi$ has a saddle-point in $X\times Y$ or, for each convex and dense set $S\subseteq Y$,…

Given an irreducible sofic shift X, we show that an an irreducible SFT Y of lower entropy is a factor of X if and only if it is a factor of X by an open bi-continuing code. If these equivalent conditions hold and Y is mixing, then any code…

B.-Y. Chen famously conjectured that every submanifold of Euclidean space with harmonic mean curvature vector is minimal. In this note we establish a much more general statement for a large class of submanifolds satisfying a growth…

Let $G$ be an infinite countable amenable group and $P$ a polyhedron with topological dimension $dim(P)<\infty$. We construct a minimal subshift $(X,G)$ such that its mean topological dimension is equal to $dim(P)$. This result answers the…

We introduce the quasiminimal subshifts, subshifts having only finitely many subsystems. With $\mathbb{N}$-actions, their theory essentially reduces to the theory of minimal systems, but with $\mathbb{Z}$-actions, the class is much larger.…

In this paper, we introduce the notion of negatively regionally proximal pairs of onto maps which coincides with the set of regionally proximal pair of $f^{-1}$, whenever $f$ is an homeomorphism and we prove the maximal equicontinoues…

If $\pi:(X,T)\to(Z,S)$ is a topological factor map between uniquely ergodic topological dynamical systems, then $(X,T)$ is called an isomorphic extension of $(Z,S)$ if $\pi$ is also a measure-theoretic isomorphism. We consider the case when…

In this paper we propose a linear scalarization proximal point algorithm for solving arbitrary lower semicontinuous quasiconvex multiobjective minimization problems. Under some natural assumptions and using the condition that the proximal…

Given a set $P$ of points and a set $U$ of axis-parallel unit squares in the Euclidean plane, a minimum ply cover of $P$ with $U$ is a subset of $U$ that covers $P$ and minimizes the number of squares that share a common intersection,…

In this paper, we establish an improved version of a saddle point theorem ([4]) removing a weak lower semicontinuity assumption at all. We then revisit some of the applications of that theorem in the light of such an improvement. For…

We study chain-recurrence and chain-transitivity in compact dynamical systems without any regularity assumptions on the map. We prove that every compact system has a chain-recurrent point and a closed, invariant, chain-transitive subsystem.…

Let $X$ be a compact metric space and let $f:X\rightarrow X$ be a homeomorphism on $X$. We show that if $f$ is both pointwise recurrent and expansive, then the dynamical system $(X, f)$ is topologically conjugate to a subshift of some…

We provide a complete characterisation of automaticity of uniformly recurrent substitutive sequences in terms of the incidence matrix of the return substitution of the underlying purely substitutive sequence. This resolves a recent question…
