We prove a uniform bound on the topological Tur\'an number of an arbitrary two-dimensional simplicial complex $S$: any $n$-vertex two-dimensional complex with at least $C_S n^{3-1/5}$ facets contains a homeomorphic copy of $S$, where $C_S >…

Given a finitely generated, torsion-free nilpotent group, we find the maximum possible (critical) regularity for its faithful actions by diffeomorphisms of the closed or half-open interval and of the circle. Our result gives an expression…

Sommerfeld paradox (turbulence paradox) roughly says that mathematically the Couette linear shear flow is linearly stable for all values of the Reynolds number, but experimentally transition from the linear shear to turbulence occurs under…

We consider the negative regularity mixing properties of random volume preserving diffeomorphisms on a compact manifold without boundary. We give general criteria so that the associated random transfer operator mixes $H^{-\delta}$…

We consider an area-preserving diffeomorphism of a compact surface, which is assumed to be an irrational rotation near each boundary component. A finite set of periodic orbits of the diffeomorphism gives rise to a braid in the mapping…

We prove that autonomous Hamiltonian flows on the two-sphere exhibit the following dichotomy: the Hofer norm either grows linearly or is bounded in time by a universal constant C. Our approach involves a new technique, Hamiltonian…

Local action principles on a manifold $\M$ are invariant (if at all) only under diffeomorphisms that preserve the boundary of $\M$. Suppose, however, that we wish to study only part of a system described by such a principle; namely, the…

In this paper we give a complete topological classification of orientation preserving Morse-Smale diffeomorphisms on orientable closed surfaces. For MS diffeomorphisms with relatively simple behaviour it was known that such a classification…

Given $k\in \mathbb{R},$ $v,$ $D>0,$ and $n\in \mathbb{N},$ let $\left\{ M_{\alpha }\right\} _{\alpha =1}^{\infty }$ be a Gromov-Hausdorff convergent sequence of Riemannian $n$--manifolds with sectional curvature $\geq k,$ volume $>v,$ and…

Certain aspects of nonrelativistic diffeomorphisms in 2+1 dimensions are investigated. These include a nonrelativistic limit of some relativistic actions in 3 dimensions, the Seiberg-Witten map, a modification of the viscosity tensor in…

We study the automorphisms of compact K\"ahler manifolds having slow dynamics. By adapting Gromov's classical argument, we give an upper bound on the polynomial entropy and study its possible values in dimensions $2$ and $3$. We prove that…

We prove that for any $k\in \mathbb{R},$ $v>0,$ and $D>0$ there are only finitely many diffeomorphism types of closed Riemannian $4$-manifolds with sectional curvature $\geq k,$ volume $\geq v,$ and diameter $\leq D.$

We show that if $M$ is a compact smooth manifold diffeomorphic to the total space of an orientable $S^2$ bundle over the torus $T^2$, then its diffeomorphism group does not have the Jordan property, i.e., Diff$(M)$ contains a finite…

Through making use of a Borel measure and a piecewise-Riemannian inner scalar product, it is shown that over a Lorentzian manifold every three diffeomorphisms generate a conformal space, whose elements are smooth vector-valued functions…

We prove a Livsic type theorem for cocycles taking values in groups of diffeomorphisms of low-dimensional manifolds. The results hold without any localization assumption and in very low regularity. We also obtain a general result (in any…

For a non-orientable closed surface standardly embedded in the 4-sphere, a diffeomorphism over this surface is extendable if and only if this diffeomorphism preserves the Guillou-Marin quadratic form of this embedded surface.

We prove that a generic area-preserving diffeomorphism of a compact surface with non-empty boundary has an equidistributed set of periodic orbits. This implies that such a diffeomorphism has a dense set of periodic points, although we also…

In this note we derive an upper bound for the Hausdorff dimension of the stable set of a hyperbolic set $\Lambda$ of a $C^2$ diffeomorphisms on a $n$-dimensional manifold. As a consequence we obtain that $\dim_H W^s(\Lambda)=n$ is…

We consider $C^2$ diffeomorphisms of a closed interval with only parabolic fixed points. We show that the maximal growth of the derivatives of the iterates of such a diffeomorphism is exactly quadratic provided it has a non-quadratical…

Discretization of the uniform norm of functions from a given finite dimensional subspace of continuous functions is studied. We pay special attention to the case of trigonometric polynomials with frequencies from an arbitrary finite set…
