The group of $\mathcal C^1$-diffeomorphisms of any sparse Cantor subset of a manifold is countable and discrete (possibly trivial). Thompson's groups come out of this construction when we consider central ternary Cantor subsets of an…

In this paper, we give two elementary constructions of homogeneous quasi-morphisms defined on the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of certain closed connected symplectic manifolds (or on its universal cover). The first quasi-morphism,…

In this paper, we give a characterization for any abelian subgroup G of a lie group of diffeomorphisms maps of C^n, having a somewhere dense orbit G(x), x in C^n: G(x) is somewhere dense in C^n if and only if there are f_{1},....,f_{2n+1 in…

We determine all the normal subgroups of the group of C^r diffeomorphisms of R^n, r = 1,2,...,infinity, except when r=n+1 or n=4, and also of the group of homeomorphisms of R^n (r=0). We also study the group A_0 of diffeomorphisms of an…

The group Diff(S^1) of the orientation preserving diffeomorphisms of the circle S^1 plays an important role in conformal field theory. We consider a subgroup B_0 of Diff(S^1) whose elements stabilize "the point of infinity". This subgroup…

We study the simplicity of the Lyapunov spectrum of partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms. We prove that a class of volume-preserving partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms is $C^r$-accumulated by $C^2$-open sets with simple spectrum. Also we…

I investigate a class of dynamical systems in which finite pieces of spacetime contain finite amounts of information. Most of the guiding principles for designing these systems are drawn from general relativity: the systems are…

Motivated by recent results on diffeomorphisms of 4-manifolds, this paper investigates fundamental groups of spaces of embeddings of $S^1\times D^3$ in 4-manifolds. The majority of work goes into the case of framed immersed circles.

Every saturated fusion system corresponds to a group-like structure called a regular locality. In this paper we study (suitably defined) normalizers and centralizers of partial subnormal subgroups of regular localities. This leads to a…

Let $M$ be a closed manifold. Polterovich constructed a linear map from the vector space of quasi-morphisms on the fundamental group $\pi _{1}(M)$ of $M$ to the space of quasi-morphisms on the identity component ${\rm…

In this paper we establish a criterion for the triviality of the $C^1$-centralizer for vector fields and flows. In particular we deduce the triviality of the centralizer at homoclinic classes of $C^r$ vector fields ($r\ge 1$). Furthermore,…

This paper is a step towards the complete topological classification of {\Omega}-stable diffeomorphisms on an orientable closed surface, aiming to give necessary and sufficient conditions for two such diffeomorphisms to be topologically…

We prove that for a polynomial diffeomorphism of C^2 , the support of any invariant measure, apart from a few obvious cases, is contained in the closure of the set of saddle periodic points.

We show that the fundamental group of framed circles in $S^1 \times D^3$ injects into the fundamental group of framed spheres in $S^2\times D^2$, so that the cokernel is the fundamental group of framed neat disks in $D^4$. In particular,…

Let f be a class P -homeomorphism of the circle. We prove that there exists a piecewise analytic homeomorphism that conjugate f to a one-class P with prescribed break points lying on pairwise distinct orbits. As a consequence, we give a…

We prove a perturbation (pasting) lemma for conservative (and symplectic) systems. This allows us to prove that $C^{\infty}$ volume preserving vector fields are $C^1$-dense in $C^{1}$ volume preserving vector fields (After the conclusion of…

Suppose M is a noncompact connected oriented C^infty n-manifold and omega is a positive volume form on M. Let D^+(M) denote the group of orientation preserving diffeomorphisms of M endowed with the compact-open C^infty topology and D(M;…

We study order-preserving C^1-circle diffeomorphisms driven by irrational rotations with a Diophantine rotation number. We show that there is a non-empty open set of one-parameter families of such diffeomorphisms where the ergodic measures…

We introduce a class of volume-contracting surface diffeomorphisms whose dynamics is intermediate between one-dimensional dynamics and general surface dynamics. For that type of systems one can associate to the dynamics a reduced…

We investigate the structure of the centralizer and the normalizer of a local analytic or formal differential system at a nondegenerate stationary point, using the theory of Poincar\'e-Dulac normal forms. Our main results are concerned with…
