Let $d\geq 2$ be an integer and let $\omega_1,\cdots ,\omega_d$ be moduli of continuity in a specified class which contains the moduli of H\"{o}lder continuity. Let $f_k$, $k\in\{1,\cdots,d\}$, be $C^{1+\omega_k}$ orientation preserving…

In this paper, we extend the theory of planar pseudo knots to the theories of annular and toroidal pseudo knots. Pseudo knots are defined as equivalence classes under Reidemeister-like moves of knot diagrams characterized by crossings with…

We prove that if f is an orientation-preserving homeomorphism of a closed orientable surface M whose singular set is totally disconnected, then f is topologically conjugate to a conformal transformation.

We introduce the notion of abstract angle at a couple of points defined by two radial foliations of the closed annulus. We use this notion to give unified proofs of some classical results on area preserving positive twist maps of the…

The bounded orbit conjecture says that every homeomorphism on the plane with each of its orbits being bounded must have a fixed point. Brouwer's translation theorem asserts that the conjecture is true for orientation preserving…

In this article we prove that on any closed symplectic manifold there exists an arbitrarily $C^\infty$-small Hamiltonian diffeomorphism not admitting a square root.

Given a closed, orientable Lagrangian submanifold $L$ in a symplectic manifold $(X, \omega)$, we show that if $L$ is relatively exact then any Hamiltonian diffeomorphism preserving $L$ setwise must preserve its orientation. In contrast to…

We study homotopic-to-the-identity torus homeomorphisms, whose rotation set has nonempty interior. We prove that any such map is monotonically semiconjugate to a homeomorphism that preserves the Lebesgue measure, and that has the same…

In this note, we prove the existence of a closed geodesic of positive length on any compact developable orbifold of dimension 3, 5, or 7. The argument uses the stratification of the singular locus, and reduces the problem of existence of a…

In this paper we classify the closed orientable manifolds of arbitrary dimension.

Let $S$ be a closed surface of genus $g\geq 1$, furnished with an area form $\omega$. We show that there exists an open and dense set ${\mathcal O_r}$ of the space of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of class $C^r$, $1\leq r\leq\infty$, endowed…

In this paper we answer positively a question of whether it is possible for a circle diffeomorphism with breaks to be smoothly conjugate to a rigid rotation in the case when its breaks are lying on pairwise distinct trajectories. An example…

In this note we consider the following conjecture: given any closed symplectic manifold $M$, there is a sufficiently small real positive number $\rho$ such that the open ball of radius $\rho$ in the Hofer metric centered at the identity on…

An arrangement of pseudocircles is a collection of simple closed curves on the sphere or in the plane such that any two of the curves are either disjoint or intersect in exactly two crossing points. We call an arrangement intersecting if…

An orientation-preserving recurrent homeomorphism of the two-sphere which is not the identity is shown to admit exactly two fixed points. A recurrent homeomorphism of a compact surface with negative Euler characteristic is periodic.

Bertrand's theorem proves that inverse square and Hooke's law-type central forces are the only ones for which all bounded orbits are closed. Similar analysis was used to show that for other central force laws there exist closed orbits for a…

Let G be a simply connected semisimple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic 0 and let V be a rational simple G-module of finite dimension. If G/H \subset P(V) is a spherical orbit and if X is its closure,…

Let $f$ and $g$ be two circle endomorphisms of degree $d\geq 2$ such that each has bounded geometry, preserves the Lebesgue measure, and fixes $1$. Let $h$ fixing $1$ be the topological conjugacy from $f$ to $g$. That is, $h\circ f=g\circ…

Let $f:S^1\times [0,1]\to S^1\times [0,1]$ be a real-analytic annulus diffeomorphism which is homotopic to the identity map and preserves an area form. Assume that for some lift $\tilde {f}:\mathbb{R}\times [0,1]\rightarrow \mathbb{R}\times…

We investigate the iterative behaviour of continuous order preserving subhomogeneous maps that map a polyhedral cone into itself. For these maps we show that every bounded orbit converges to a periodic orbit and, moreover, that there exists…
