In this survey paper, we discuss the problem of characterizing the critical sets of bounded analytic functions in the unit disk of the complex plane. This problem is closely related to the Berger-Nirenberg problem in differential geometry…
The space of symplectic connections on a symplectic manifold is a symplectic affine space. M. Cahen and S. Gutt showed that the action of the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms on this space is Hamiltonian and calculated the moment map.…
We detail the theory of Discrete Riemann Surfaces. It takes place on a cellular decomposition of a surface, together with its Poincar\'e dual, equipped with a discrete conformal structure. A lot of theorems of the continuous theory follow…
We present a new method to compare the shapes of genus-zero surfaces. We introduce a measure of mutual stretching, the symmetric distortion energy, and establish the existence of a conformal diffeomorphism between any two genus-zero…
We study the dynamics of the vector field on an open surface given by the gradient of a Green's function. This dynamical approach enables us to show that this field induces an invariant decomposition of the surface as the union of a disk…
We probe the effect of diffeomorphism symmetry on the critical exponents values for massive O($N$) $\lambda\phi^{4}$ scalar field theories in curved spacetime. We apply field-theoretic renormalization group tools, where we use only momentum…
I survey the kinds of critical behavior believed to be exhibited in two-dimensional disordered systems. I review the different replica sigma models used to describe the low-energy physics, and discuss how critical points appear because of…
Intermittent dynamics is characterized by long periods of different types of dynamical characteristics, for instance almost periodic dynamics alternated by chaotic dynamics. Critical intermittency is intermittent dynamics that can occur in…
We study the critical dynamics of a real scalar field in two dimensions near a continuous phase transition. We have built up and solved Dynamical Renormalization Group equations at one-loop approximation. We have found that, different form…
There are a least uncountably many diffeomorphism types for open manifolds. Hence the classification problem is extremely difficult. We proceed as follows: We define several uniform structures of proper metric spaces and consider their arc…
We discuss the dynamical, topological, and algebraic classification of rational maps $f$ of the Riemann sphere to itself each of whose critical points $c$ is also a fixed-point of $f$, i.e. $f(c)=c$.
Fast-slow dynamical systems have subsystems that evolve on vastly different timescales, and bifurcations in such systems can arise due to changes in any or all subsystems. We classify bifurcations of the critical set (the equilibria of the…
We construct mountain pass critical points of the perimeter functional on sets of fixed volume. For a generic metric, this gives rise to a smooth almost embedded hypersurface with non-zero constant mean curvature. Our work utilizes recent…
We present a general method for predicting bond percolation thresholds and critical surfaces for a broad class of two-dimensional periodic lattices, reproducing many known exact results and providing excellent approximations for several…
We compute the critical surface for the existence of invariant tori of a family of Hamiltonian systems with two and three degrees of freedom. We use and compare two methods to compute the critical surfaces: renormalization-group…
In this paper we build a geometric model for the renormalisation of irrationally indifferent fixed points of holomorphic maps with two critical points. The model incorporates arithmetic properties of the rotation number at the fixed point,…
The critical behavior of semi-infinite systems in fixed dimensions $d<4$ is investigated theoretically. The appropriate extension of Parisi's massive field theory approach is presented.Two-loop calculations and subsequent Pad\'e-Borel…
We give some general criteria of being a homeomorphism for continuous mappings of topological manifolds, as well as criteria of being a diffeomorphism for smooth mappings of smooth manifolds. As an illustration, we apply these criteria to…
Let $f$ be a polynomial map of the Riemann sphere of degree at least two. We prove that if $f$ has a Siegel disk $G$ on which the rotation number satisfies a diophantine condition, then the boundary of $G$ contains a critical point.
There are several notions of a smooth map from a convex set to a cartesian space. Some of these notions coincide, but not all of them do. We construct a real-valued function on a convex subset of the plane that does not extend to a smooth…
