We construct an explicit representation of the algebra of local diffeomorphisms of a manifold with realistic dimensions. This is achieved in the setting of a general approach to the (quantum) dynamics of a physical system which is…

A well-known result from Brouwer states that any orientation preserving homeomorphism of the plane with no fixed points has an empty non-wandering set. In particular, an invariant compact set implies the existence of a fixed point. In this…

An orientation-preserving recurrent homeomorphism of the two-sphere which is not the identity is shown to admit exactly two fixed points. A recurrent homeomorphism of a compact surface with negative Euler characteristic is periodic.

We prove that various classical conformal diffeomorphism groups, which are known to be essential [1], are in fact properly essential. This is a consequence of a local criterion on a conformal diffeomorphism in the form of a cohomological…

In this work we exhibit a new criteria for ergodicity of diffeomorphisms involving conditions on Lyapunov exponents and general position of some invariant manifolds. On one hand we derive uniqueness of SRB-measures for transitive surface…

We introduce a new generalization of the notion of preperiodic hypersurface and explore some of its basic ramifications. We also prove that among nonlinear endomorphisms of projective space, those with a periodic critical point are Zariski…

In this paper, for iterated function systems, we define the classic concept of the dynamical systems: topological conjugacy of diffeomorphisms. We generalize the Hartman-Grobman theorem for one dimensional iterated function systems on R.…

We prove a Diophantine approximation inequality for closed subschemes on surfaces which can be viewed as a joint generalization of recent inequalities of Ru-Vojta and Heier-Levin in this context. As applications, we study various…

Symmetry breaking surface fields give rise to nontrivial and long-ranged order parameter profiles for critical systems such as fluids, alloys or magnets confined to wedges. We discuss the properties of the corresponding universal scaling…

We address the role of large diffeomorphisms in Witten's 2+1 gravity on the manifold ${\bf R} \times T^2$. In a ``spacelike sector" quantum theory that treats the large diffeomorphisms as a symmetry, rather than as gauge, the Hilbert space…

The central purpose of this article is to establish new inverse and implicit function theorems for differentiable maps with isolated critical points. One of the key ingredients is a discovery of the fact that differentiable maps with…

We construct algorithms and topological invariants that allow us to distinguish the topological type of a surface, as well as functions and vector fields for their topological equivalence. In the first part we discus the main structures…

We define and study a numerical-range analogue of the notion of spectral set. Among the results obtained are a positivity criterion and a dilation theorem, analogous to those already known for spectral sets. An important difference from the…

We introduce one dimensional sets to help describe and constrain the integral curves of an $n$ dimensional dynamical system. These curves provide more information about the system than the zero-dimensional sets (fixed points) do. In fact,…

We study a functional, whose critical points couple Dirac-harmonic maps from surfaces with a two form. The critical points can be interpreted as coupling the prescribed mean curvature equation to spinor fields. On the other hand, this…

In order to elucidate the role of surfaces at nonequilibrium phase transitions we consider kinetic Ising models with surfaces subjected to a periodic oscillating magnetic field. Whereas the corresponding bulk system undergoes a continuous…

A simplified calculation of the structure constants of the diffeomorphism group of the two-sphere is presented

We introduce the concept of a soft ditopological space as the "soft generalization" of the concept of a ditopological space as it is defined in the papers by L.M. Brown and co-authors, see e.g. L. M. Brown, R. Erturk, S. Dost,…

We consider general Morse-Smale diffeomorphisms on a closed orientable two-dimentional surface. In this paper it is proved that the complete topological invariant of Morse-Smale diffeomorphisms is finite, the algorithm of the construction…

A surface in the 4-sphere is trivially embedded, if it bounds a 3-dimensional handle body in the 4-sphere. For a surface trivially embedded in the 4-sphere, a diffeomorphism over this surface is extensible if and only if this preserves the…
