We show that the discrete approximate volume preserving mean curvature flow in the flat torus $\mathbb{T}^N$ starting near a strictly stable critical set $E$ of the perimeter converges in the long time to a translate of $E$ exponentially…

We present a $2n$-component nonlinear evolutionary PDE which includes the $n$-dimensional versions of the Camassa-Holm and the Hunter-Saxton systems as well as their partially averaged variations. Our goal is to apply Arnold's [V.I. Arnold,…

A classification of partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms on 3-dimensional manifolds with (virtually) solvable fundamental group is obtained. If such a diffeomorphism does not admit a periodic attracting or repelling two-dimensional torus,…

We study properties of stable, strictly stable and locally outermost marginally outer trapped surfaces in spacelike hypersurfaces of spacetimes possessing certain symmetries such as isometries, homotheties and conformal Killings. We first…

We study topological properties of automorphisms of 4-dimensional torus generated by integer symplectic matrices. The main classifying element is the structure of the topology of a foliation generated by unstable leaves of the automorphism.…

In this paper, we construct cw-expansive homeomorphisms on compact surfaces of genus greater than or equal to zero with a fixed point whose local stable set is connected but not locally connected. This provides an affirmative answer to…

We construct a resonant normal form for an area-preserving map near a generic resonant elliptic fixed point. The normal form is obtained by a simplification of a formal interpolating Hamiltonian. The resonant normal form is unique and…

We develop a thermodynamic formalism for a class of diffeomorphisms of a torus that are "almost-Anosov". In particular, we use a Young tower construction to prove the existence and uniqueness of equilibrium states for a collection of…

We produce explicit low-discrepancy infinite sequences which can be used to approximate the integral of a smooth periodic function restricted to a convex domain with positive curvature in R^2. The proof depends on simultaneous diophantine…

A covariant functor from the category of mapping tori to a category of AF-algebras is constructed; the functor takes continuous maps between such manifolds to stable homomorphisms between the corresponding AF-algebras. We use this functor…

We study spatial discretizations of dynamical systems: is it possible to recover some dynamical features of a system from numerical simulations? Here, we tackle this issue for the simplest algorithm possible: we compute long segments of…

This article deals with directional rotational deviations for non-wandering periodic point free homeomorphisms of the 2-torus which are homotopic to the identity. We prove that under mild assumptions, such a homeomorphism exhibits uniformly…

We analytically construct an infinite number of trapped toroids in spherically symmetric Cauchy hypersurfaces of the Einstein equations. We focus on initial data which represent "constant density stars" momentarily at rest. There exists an…

In this paper we study R-reversible area-preserving maps f on a two-dimensional Riemannian closed manifold M, i.e. diffeomorphisms f such that Ro f=f^{-1}o R where R is an isometric involution on M. We obtain a C1-residual subset where any…

We prove that every dynamically coherent plaque expansive partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism is topologically stable with respect to the central foliation (in short, {\em plaque topologically stable}). Next, we study partially hyperbolic…

Deformable shape modeling approaches that describe objects in terms of their medial axis geometry (e.g., m-reps [Pizer et al., 2003]) yield rich geometrical features that can be useful for analyzing the shape of sheet-like biological…

We obtain the sharp upper and lower bounds for the growth and distortion of the analytic parts $h$ of orientation-preserving harmonic mappings $f=h+\overline g$ (normalized in the standard way) that map the unit disk onto a convex domain.

We show that in the neighborhood of each ``finite type'' singular orbit of a real analytic integrable dynamical system (hamiltonian or not) there is a real analytic torus action which preserves the system and which is transitive on this…

In both smooth and analytic categories, we construct examples of diffeomorphisms of topological entropy zero with intricate ergodic properties. On any smooth compact connected manifold of dimension 2 admitting a nontrivial circle action, we…

We construct some canonically defined central extensions of groups of symplectomorphisms. We show that this central extension is nontrivial in the case of a torus of dimension $\ge 6$ and in the case of a two-dimensional surface of genus…
