We study $C^r$ ($5 \le r \le \infty$) diffeomorphisms on closed manifolds of dimension at least three with a heteroclinic cycle between two hyperbolic periodic points. At each point, the unstable direction is one dimensional, and the stable…

We prove that a long iteration of rational maps is expanding near boundaries of bounded type Siegel disks. This leads us to extend Petersen's local connectivity result on the Julia sets of quadratic Siegel polynomials to a general case. A…

We provide a David extension result for circle homeomorphisms conjugating two dynamical systems such that parabolic periodic points go to parabolic periodic points, but hyperbolic points can go to parabolics as well. We use this result, in…

We consider the following question on the relationship between the asymptotic behaviours of asynchronous dynamics of Boolean networks and their regulatory structures: does the presence of a cyclic attractor imply the existence of a local…

We prove that the Julia set of a rational function $f$ is computable in polynomial time, assuming that the postcritical set of $f$ does not contain any critical points or parabolic periodic orbits.

The periodic orbit conjecture states that, on closed manifolds, the set of lengths of the orbits of a non-vanishing vector field all whose orbits are closed admits an upper bound. This conjecture is known to be false in general due to a…

Complex 1-variable polynomials with connected Julia sets and only repelling periodic points are called \emph{dendritic}. By results of Kiwi, any dendritic polynomial is semi-conjugate to a topological polynomial whose topological Julia set…

For any polynomial map with a single critical point, we prove that its lower Lyapunov exponent at the critical value is negative if and only if the map has an attracting cycle. Similar statement holds for the exponential maps and some other…

We show that for any set of n distinct points in the complex plane, there exists a polynomial p of degree at most n+1 so that the corresponding Newton map, or even the relaxed Newton map, for p has the given points as a super-attracting…

We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a sequence to be exactly realizable as the sequence of numbers of periodic points in a dynamical system. Using these conditions, we show that no non-constant polynomial is realizable, and give…

Let $f(z) = z^2 + c$ be a quadratic polynomial, with c in the Mandelbrot set. Assume further that both fixed points of f are repelling, and that f is not renormalizable. Then we prove that the Julia set J of f is holomorphically removable…

We analyse the intersection of positively and negatively sectional-hyperbolic sets for flows on compact manifolds. First we prove that such an intersection is hyperbolic if the intersecting sets are both transitive (this is false without…

We prove that, for $C^1$-generic diffeomorphisms, if the periodic orbits contained in a homoclinic class $H(p)$ have all their Lyapunov exponents bounded away from 0, then $H(p)$ must be (uniformly) hyperbolic. This is in sprit of the works…

Let S be a closed oriented surface of genus $g\geq 0$ with $n\geq 0$ punctures and $3g-3+n\geq 5$. Let $Q$ be a connected component of a stratum in the moduli space Q(S) of area one meromorphic quadratic differentials on S with n simple…

We consider a model for prion proliferation that includes prion polymerization, polymer splitting, and polymer joining. The model consists of an ordinary differential equation for the prion monomers and a hyperbolic nonlinear differential…

For a hyperbolic polynomial automorphism of C^2 with a disconnected Julia set, and under a mild dissipativity condition, we give a topological description of the components of the Julia set. Namely, there are finitely many "quasi-solenoids"…

We study angles of multipliers of repelling cycles for hyperbolic rational maps in $\mathbb C(z)$. For a fixed $K \gg 1$, we show that almost all intervals of length $2\pi/K$ in $(-\pi,\pi]$ contain a multiplier angle with the property that…

Holomorphic renormalization plays an important role in complex polynomial dynamics. We consider certain conditions guaranteeing that a polynomial which does not admit a polynomial-like connected Julia set still admits an invariant continuum…

We study jamming in model freely rotating polymers as a function of chain length $N$ and bond angle $\theta_0$. The volume fraction at jamming, $\phi_J(\theta_0)$, is minimal for rigid-rod-like chains ($\theta_0 = 0$), and increases…

We consider the dynamics arising from the iteration of an arbitrary sequence of polynomials with uniformly bounded degrees and coefficients and show that, as parameters vary within a single hyperbolic component in parameter space, certain…
