We define a class of quantum systems called regular quantum graphs. Although their dynamics is chaotic in the classical limit with positive topological entropy, the spectrum of regular quantum graphs is explicitly computable analytically…

We consider the the intersections of the complex nodal set of the analytic continuation of an eigenfunction of the Laplacian on a real analytic surface with the complexification of a geodesic. We prove that if the geodesic flow is ergodic…

Let $S$ be a closed surface of genus $g\geq 2$, furnished with a Borel probability measure $\lambda$ with total support. We show that if $f$ is a $\lambda$-preserving homeomorphism isotopic to the identity such that the rotation vector…

We present a topological method of obtaining the existence of infinite number of symmetric periodic orbits for systems with reversing symmetry. The method is based on covering relations. We apply the method to a four-dimensional reversible…

We consider the space of countable structures with fixed underlying set in a given countable language. We show that the number of ergodic probability measures on this space that are $S_\infty$-invariant and concentrated on a single…

The theory of ergodic optimization for distance-expanding maps is extended to Gauss's continued fraction map. Since the set of invariant probability measures is not weak$^*$ closed, we establish a characterisation of the closure of this…

Let $K$ be the Cantor set. We prove that arbitrarily close to a homeomorphism $T:K\rightarrow K$ there exists a homeomorphism $\widetilde T:K\rightarrow K$ such that the $\alpha$-limit and the $\omega$-limit of every orbit is a periodic…

We reduce the Collatz conjecture to a fixed-modulus, one-bit orbit-mixing problem. Working with the compressed odd-to-odd Collatz map, we prove exact low-depth decomposition formulas at depths K = 3, 4, 5, reducing block-discrepancy terms…

We consider the three body problem on $S^1$ under the cotangent potential. We first construct homothetic orbits ending in singularities, including total collision singularity and collision-antipodal singularity. Then certain symmetrical…

The main result of this paper is a proof using real analysis of the monotonicity of the topological entropy for the family of quadratic maps, sometimes called Milnor's Monotonicity Conjecture. In contrast, the existing proofs rely in one…

We take the first steps towards a better understanding of continuous orbit equivalence, i.e., topological orbit equivalence with continuous cocycles. First, we characterise continuous orbit equivalence in terms of isomorphisms of C*-crossed…
