A recent paper [CGT] studies the evolution of star-shaped mean convex hypersurfaces of the Euclidean space by a class of nonhomogeneous expanding curvature flows. In the present paper we consider the same problem in the real, complex and…

In this paper we review some author's results about Weingarten surfaces in Euclidean space $\r^3$ and hyperbolic space $\h^3$. We stress here in the search of examples of linear Weingarten surfaces that satisfy a certain geometric property.…

We prove that sectional-hyperbolic attracting sets for $C^1$ vector fields are robustly expansive (under an open technical condition of strong dissipative for higher codimensional cases). This extends known results of expansiveness for…

We construct partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms having semi-local robustly transitive sets with $C^1$-robust cycles of any co-index. These constructions also provide a new method to create $C^2$-robust homoclinic, equidimensional and…

A curve is rectifying if it lies on a moving hyperplane orthogonal to its curvature vector. In this work, we extend the main result of [Chen 2017, Tamkang J. Math. 48, 209] to any space dimension: we prove that rectifying curves are…

We classify the hypersurfaces of Euclidean space that carry a totally geodesic foliation with complete leaves of codimension one. In particular, we show that rotation hypersurfaces with complete profiles of codimension one are characterized…

Periodic geodesics on the modular surface correspond to periodic orbits of the geodesic flow in its unit tangent bundle $\mathrm{PSL}_2(\mathbb{Z})\backslash\mathrm{PSL}_2(\mathbb{R})$. The complement of any finite number of orbits is a…

This article presents a mechanism for the coexistence of hyperbolic and non-hyperbolic dynamics arising in a neighbourhood of a Bykov cycle where trajectories turn in opposite directions near the two nodes --- we say that the nodes have…

Let $v$ be a unit vector field on a complete, umbilic (but not totally geodesic) hypersurface $N$ in a space form; for example on the unit sphere $S^{2k-1} \subset \mathbb{R}^{2k}$, or on a horosphere in hyperbolic space. We give necessary…
