The group of automorphisms of the free group on two generators is known to act geometrically, in an essentially unique way, on a 2-dimensional CAT(0) space X. We prove that X contains precisely two Hamiltonian surfaces. By this we mean a…
The topological index of a surface was previously introduced by the first author as the topological analogue of the index of an unstable minimal surface. Here we show that surfaces of arbitrarily high topological index exist.
We develop technics of birational geometry to study automorphisms of affine surfaces admitting many distinct rational fibrations, with a particular focus on the interactions between automorphisms and these fibrations. In particular, we…
Given a closed orientable surface (\Sigma) of genus at least two, we establish an affine isomorphism between the convex compact set of isotopy-invariant topological measures on (\Sigma) and the convex compact set of additive functions on…
We show that two automorphisms of an affine surface with dynamical degree strictly larger than 1 share a Zariski dense set of periodic points if and only if they have the same periodic points. We construct canonical heights for these…
We give a method for constructing many examples of automorphisms with positive entropy on rational complex surfaces. The general idea is to begin with a quadratic Cremona transformation that fixes a reduced cubic curve and then use the…
In this work we study the main dynamical properties of the push-forward map, a transformation in the space of probabilities P(X) induced by a map T: X \to X, X a compact metric space. We also establish a connection between topological…
Topological transforms have been very useful in statistical analysis of shapes or surfaces without restrictions that the shapes are diffeomorphic and requiring the estimation of correspondence maps. In this paper we introduce two…
The periodic points of a morphism of good reduction for a smooth projective curve with good reduction over the p-adics form a discrete set. This is used to give an interpretation of the morphic height in terms of asymptotic properties of…
It was proved by Tien-Cuong Dinh and me that there is a smooth complex projective surface whose automorphism group is discrete and not finitely generated. In this paper, we will show that there is a smooth projective surface, birational to…
We present the construction of Inoue surfaces of type $S^{(+)}/S^{(-)}$ in terms of data arising from real quadratic number fields. We then describe the automorphism group of such surfaces in terms of this data.
We prove two results about the natural representation of a group G of automorphisms of a normal projective threefold X on its second cohomology. We show that if X is minimal then G, modulo a normal subgroup of null entropy, is embedded as a…
We construct Z^2-SFTs at every computable level of the hierarchy of topological completely positive entropy (TCPE), answering Barbieri and Garc\'{i}a-Ramos, who asked if there was one at level 3. Furthermore, we show the property of TCPE in…
Given a scheme $X$ over $\mathbb{Z}$ and a hyperfield $H$ which is equipped with topology, we endow the set $X(H)$ of $H$-rational points with a natural topology. We then prove that; (1) when $H$ is the Krasner hyperfield, $X(H)$ is…
We introduce the notions of topological entropy of a formal language and of a topological automaton. We show that the entropy function is surjective and bound the entropy of languages accepted by deterministic {\epsilon}-free push-down…
Let $X$ be a smooth projective hypersurface of dimension at least three. We show that every automorphism of the Hilbert square $X^{[2]}$ of $X$ is induced by some automorphism of $X$.
A polarizable endomorphism on a projective variety enables us to consider given morphism as constant multiplication in the height function. In this paper, we will generalize it for arbitrary dominant endomorphism by defining the height…
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…
Our main result is the following: let X be a normal affine toric surface without torus factor. Then there exists a non-normal affine toric surface X' with automorphism group isomorphic to the automorphism group of X if and only if X is…
We consider the quotient X of bi-elliptic surface by a finite automorphism group. If X is smooth, then it is a bi-elliptic surface or ruled surface with irregularity one. As a corollary any bi-elliptic surface cannot be Galois covering of…
