We find robust obstructions to representing a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism as a full $k$-th power, $k \geq 2,$ and in particular, to including it into a one-parameter subgroup. The robustness is understood in the sense of Hofer's metric. Our…

The goal of this paper is to construct invariant dynamical objects for a (not necessarily invertible) smooth self map of a compact manifold. We prove a result that takes advantage of differences in rates of expansion in the terms of a sheaf…

Randomization of the Lagrangian chaos in fluid dynamics has been analyzed using results of direct numerical simulations, laboratory measurements, and oceanic observations. The notion of distributed chaos has been used in order to quantify…

We study a series of dynamical concepts for self-maps in the primal topology induced by them. Among the concepts studied are non-wandering points, limit points, recurrent points, minimal sets, transitive points and self-maps, topologically…

This article discusses two recent works by the author, one with Brown and Hurtado on Zimmer's conjecture and one with Bader, Miller and Stover on totally geodesic submanifolds of real and complex hyperbolic manifolds. The main purpose of…

A particular case of a causal set is considered that is a directed dyadic acyclic graph. This is a model of a discrete pregeometry on a microscopic scale. The dynamics is a stochastic sequential growth of the graph. New vertexes of the…

We consider noncompact complete K\"ahler manifolds with nonnegative bisectional curvature. Our main results are: 1. Precise relations among refined minimal degree of polynomial growth holomorphic functions and holomorphic volume forms,…

Let $M$ be a manifold or (more generally) a locally compact, metrizable ANR. If $K$ is an attractor for a flow in $M$, with basin of attraction $\mathcal{A}(K)$, it is well known that the inclusion $i : K \subseteq \mathcal{A}(K)$ is always…

We consider impulsive dynamical systems defined on compact metric spaces and their respective impulsive semiflows. We establish sufficient conditions for the existence of probability measures which are invariant by such impulsive semiflows.…

Steady laminar flows through porous media spontaneously generate Lagrangian chaos at pore scale, with qualitative implications for a range of transport, reactive and biological processes. The characterization and understanding of mixing…

Classical theorems from the early 20th century state that any Haar measurable homomorphism between locally compact groups is continuous. In particular, any Lebesgue-measurable homomorphism $\phi:\mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ is of the form…

We show that the space charge dynamics of high intensity beams in the plane perpendicular to the magnetic field in cyclotrons is described by the two-dimensional Euler equations for an incompressible fluid. This analogy with fluid dynamics…

We compute a Simons' type formula for the stress-energy tensor of biharmonic maps from surfaces. Specializing to Riemannian immersions, we prove several rigidity results for biharmonic CMC surfaces, putting in evidence the influence of the…

We prove that the restriction of a probability measure invariant under a nonhyperbolic, ergodic and totally irreducible automorphism of a compact connected abelian group to the leaves of the central foliation is severely restricted. We also…

We give conditions that characterize the existence of an absolutely continuous invariant probability measure for a degree one $C^2$ endomorphism of the circle which is bimodal, such that all its periodic orbits are repelling, and such that…

We study a tower of normal coverings over a compact K\"ahler manifold with holomorphic line bundles. When the line bundle is sufficiently positive, we obtain an effective estimate, which implies the Bergman stability. As a consequence, we…

This is a complete study of the dynamics of polynomial planar vector fields whose linear part is a multiple of the identity and whose nonlinear part is a contracting homogeneous polynomial. The contracting nonlinearity provides the…

We investigate combinatorial dynamical systems on simplicial complexes considered as {\em finite topological spaces}. Such systems arise in a natural way from sampling dynamics and may be used to reconstruct some features of the dynamics…

We provide a Hamiltonian analysis of the Mixmaster Universe dynamics showing the covariant nature of its chaotic behavior with respect to any choice of time variable. We construct the appropriate invariant measure for the system (which…

We derive sufficient conditions for a dynamical systems to have a set of irregular points with full topological entropy. Such conditions are verified for some nonuniformly hyperbolic systems such as positive entropy surface diffeomorphisms…
