We show that, for pairs of hyperbolic toral automorphisms on the $2$-torus, the points with dense forward orbits under one map and nondense forward orbits under the other is a dense, uncountable set. The pair of maps can be noncommuting. We…

We construct a diffeomorphism of the two-dimensional torus which is isotopic to the identity and whose rotation set is not a polygon.

We study entire holomorphic curves in the algebraic torus, and show that they can be characterized by the ``growth rate'' of their derivatives.

We prove a discrete time analogue of 1967 Moser's normal form of real analytic perturbations of vector fields possessing an invariant, reducible, Diophantine torus; in the case of diffeomorphisms too, the persistence of such an invariant…

We study the group of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms on a manifold. We develop a general theory of implicit generating forms. Our results generalize the classical formulas for generating functions of symplectic twist maps.

Present state of the study of nonlinear ``integrable" systems related to the group of area-preserving diffeomorphisms on various surfaces is overviewed. Roles of area-preserving diffeomorphisms in 4-d self-dual gravity are reviewed. Recent…

Let f:\Sigma_1 --> \Sigma_2 be an area preserving diffeomorphism between compact Riemann surfaces of constant curvature. The graph of f can be viewed as a Lagrangian submanifold in \Sigma_1\times \Sigma_2. This article discusses a canonical…

In this chapter, we outline some of the many combinatorial tools developed over the past three decades for studying a pseudo-Anosov diffeomorphism of a surface by analyzing the geometry of its mapping torus. We begin with an overview of the…

We build the first examples of diffeomorphisms that are distorted in a group of $C^r$ diffeomorphisms yet undistorted in the corresponding group of $C^s$ diffeomorphisms, where $r < s$. This explicit construction is performed for the closed…

We consider $C^2$ diffeomorphisms of a closed interval with only parabolic fixed points. We show that the maximal growth of the derivatives of the iterates of such a diffeomorphism is exactly quadratic provided it has a non-quadratical…

We provide a complete system of analytic invariants for unfoldings of non-linearizable resonant complex analytic diffeomorphisms as well as its geometrical interpretation. In order to fulfill this goal we develop an extension of the Fatou…

We investigate a class of area preserving non-uniformly hyperbolic maps of the two torus. First we establish some results on the regularity of the invariant foliations, then we use this knowledge to estimate the rate of mixing.

A complete description of resonances for rational toral Anosov diffeomorphisms preserving certain Reinhardt domains is presented. As a consequence it is shown that every homotopy class of two-dimensional Anosov diffeomorphisms contains maps…

We present a metric version of weak proper discontinuity (WPD) for pseudo-Anosov maps on surfaces. As an application, we show that there are plenty of quasi-morphisms on the homeomorphism group of a torus or a hyperbolic surface that are…

Let $M$ be an $m$-dimensional differentiable manifold with a nontrivial circle action ${\mathcal S}= {\lbrace S_t \rbrace}_{t \in\RR}, S_{t+1}=S_t$, preserving a smooth volume $\mu$. For any Liouville number $\a$ we construct a sequence of…

We obtain several results on the distortion asymptotics for the iterations of diffeomorphisms of the interval extending the recent work of Polterovich and Sodin.

We consider transitive Anosov diffeomorphisms for which every periodic orbit has only one positive and one negative Lyapunov exponent. We establish various properties of such systems including strong pinching, C^{1+\beta} smoothness of the…

Given the interest in relating the large $N$ limit of SU(N) to groups of area-preserving diffeomorphisms, we consider the topologies of these groups and show that both in terms of homology and homotopy, they are extremely different. Similar…

In this paper we consider an analog of the regions of instability for twist maps in the context of area preserving diffeomorphisms which are not twist maps. Several properties analogous to those of classical regions of instability are…

We prove that if an area-preserving homeomorphism of the torus in the homotopy class of the identity has a rotation set which is a nondegenerate vertical segment containing the origin, then there exists an essential invariant annulus. In…
