An irreducible open 3-manifold $W$ is {\bf R}$^2$-irreducible if every proper plane in $W$ splits off a halfspace. In this paper it is shown that if such a $W$ is the universal cover of a connected, {\bf P}$^2$-irreducible open 3-manifold…

We study rank two locally-free Fourier-Mukai transforms on K3 surfaces and show that they come in two distinct types according to whether the determinant of a suitable twist of the kernel is positive or not. We show that a necessary and…

In the present paper we focus on the problem of the existence of strange pseudohyperbolic attractors for three-dimensional diffeomorphisms. Such attractors are genuine strange attractors in that sense that each orbit in the attractor has a…

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…

Let $f$ be an $R$-closed homeomorphism on a connected orientable closed surface $M$. In this paper, we show that If $M$ has genus more than one, then each minimal set is either a periodic orbit or an extension of a Cantor set. If $M =…

We study the classifying space B Diff(M) of the diffeomorphism group of a connected, compact, orientable 3-manifold M. In the case that M is reducible we build a contractible space parametrising the systems of reducing spheres. We use this…

We study the arc complex of a surface with marked points in the interior and on the boundary. We prove that the isomorphism type of the arc complex determines the topology of the underlying surface, and that in all but a few cases every…

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…

In this paper, following J.Nielsen, we introduce a complete characteristic of orientation preserving periodic maps on the two-dimensional torus. All admissible complete characteristics were found and realized. In particular, each of classes…

One can define what it means for a compact manifold with corners to be a "contractible manifold with contractible faces." Two combinatorially equivalent, contractible manifolds with contractible faces are diffeomorphic if and only if their…

We construct examples of hyperKahler manifolds of Picard number two with automorphisms of positive entropy via derived automorphisms of K3 surfaces of Picard number one. Our hyperKahler manifolds are constructed as moduli spaces of…

We provide obstructions to the existence of conformally Anosov Reeb flows on a 3-manifold that partially generalize similar obstructions to Anosov Reeb flows. In particular, we show $\mathbb{S}^3$ does not admit conformally Anosov Reeb…

We study in a uniform manner the properties of biconservative surfaces in arbitrary Riemannian manifolds. Biconservative surfaces being characterized by the vanishing of the divergence of a symmetric tensor field $S_2$ of type $(1,1)$,…

We study 3-dimensional dynamically coherent partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms that are homotopic to the identity, focusing on the transverse geometry and topology of the center stable and center unstable foliations, and the dynamics…

We prove that for every smooth compact manifold $M$ and any $r \ge 1$, whenever there is an open domain in $\mathrm{Diff}^r(M)$ exhibiting a persistent homoclinic tangency related to a basic set with a sectionally dissipative periodic…

We survey some recent results on biconservative surfaces in $3$-dimensional space forms $N^3(c)$ with a special emphasis on the $c=0$ and $c=1$ cases. We study the local and global properties of such surfaces, from extrinsic and intrinsic…

We prove that biholomorphisms between the transport twistor spaces of simple or Anosov surfaces exhibit rigidity: they must be, up to constant rescaling and the antipodal map, the lift of an orientation preserving isometry.

Let $X\subset \P^5$ be a smooth cubic fourfold. A well known conjecture asserts that $X$ is rational if and only if there an Hodge theoretically associated K3 surface $S$. The surface $S$ can be associated to $X$ in two other different…

We seek to characterize homology classes of Lagrangian projective spaces embedded in irreducible holomorphic-symplectic manifolds, up to the action of the monodromy group. This paper addresses the case of manifolds deformation-equivalent to…

A projective algebraic surface which is homeomorphic to a ruled surface over a curve of genus $g\ge 1$ is itself a ruled surface over a curve of genus $g$. In this note, we prove the analogous result for projective algebraic manifolds of…
