Let Gamma_k be the lower central series of a surface group Gamma of a compact surface S with one boundary component. A simple question to ponder is whether a mapping class of S can be determined to be pseudo-Anosov given only the data of…
We exhibit a local residual set of surface $C^1$ diffeomorphisms that are continuum-wise expansive but are not expansive. We also exhibit an open and dense set of surface $C^1$ diffeomorphisms where expansiveness implies being Anosov.
We study aspherical manifolds that do not support Anosov diffeomorphisms. Weakening conditions of Gogolev and Lafont, we show that the product of an infranilmanifold with finitely many aspherical manifolds whose fundamental groups have…
We study the dynamics of Topologically Anosov homeomorphisms of non compact surfaces. In the case of surfaces of genus zero and finite type, we classify them. We prove that if $f:S \to S$, is a Topologically Anosov homeomorphism where $S$…
We provide a general argument for the failure of Anosov-Katok-like constructions (as in \cite{AFKo2015} and \cite{NKInvDist}) to produce Cohomologically Rigid diffeomorphisms in manifolds other than tori. A $C^{\infty }$ smooth…
Examples of nonformal simply connected symplectic manifolds are constructed.
In this paper, we study positive as well as non-negative and non-trivial gradings on finite dimensional Lie algebras. We give a different proof that the existence of such a grading on a Lie algebra is invariant under taking field…
Following Thurston's geometrisation picture in dimension three, we study geometric manifolds in a more general setting in arbitrary dimensions, with respect to the following problems: (i) The existence of maps of non-zero degree (domination…
In any dimension at least five we construct examples of closed smooth manifolds with the following properties: 1) they have neither real projective nor flat conformal structures; 2) their fundamental group is a non-elementary Gromov…
We classify complex compact parallelizable manifolds which admit flat torsion free holomorphic affine connections. We exhibit complex compact manifolds admitting holomorphic affine connections, but no flat torsion free holomorphic affine…
Motivated by non-equilibrium phenomena in nature, we study dynamical systems whose time-evolution is determined by non-stationary compositions of chaotic maps. The constituent maps are topologically transitive Anosov diffeomorphisms on a…
We prove the transitivity of real Anosov diffeomorphisms, which are Anosov diffeomorphisms where stable and unstable spaces decompose into a continuous sum of invariant one-dimensional sub-spaces with uniform contraction/expansion over the…
Under some non-invertibility and irreducibility condition, for nilmanifold Anosov maps with one-dimensional stable bundle, we get the equivalence among the existence of invariant unstable bundle, the existence of topological conjugacy to…
We give a formula to estimate the number of fixed points of a pseudo-Anosov homeomorphism of a surface. When the homeomorphism satisfies a mild property called strong irreducibility, the log of the number of fixed points is coarsely equal…
Every homeomorphism h : X -> Y between planar open sets that belongs to the Sobolev class W^{1,p}(X,Y), 1<p<\infty, can be approximated in the Sobolev norm by diffeomorphisms.
We construct examples of 3-dimensional compact aspherical Alexandrov spaces without boundary which are not topological manifolds.
We construct the first examples of non-smoothable self-homeomorphisms of smooth $4$-manifolds with boundary that fix the boundary and act trivially on homology. As a corollary, we construct self-diffeomorphisms of $4$-manifolds with…
We exhibit a pseudo-Anosov homeomorphism of a surface S which acts trivially on the first homology group of S and whose flux is non zero
We prove that divergent, extended geometrically finite (in the sense of Weisman arXiv:2205.07183) representations can be interpreted as restricted Anosov (in the sense of Tholozan--Wang arXiv:2307.02934) representations over certain flow…
We develop a technique, pseudo-suspension, that applies to invariant sets of homeomorphisms of a class of annulus homeomorphisms we describe, Handel-Anosov-Katok (HAK) homeomorphisms, that generalize the homeomorphism first described by…
