We prove that if two closed, connected, regular cosymplectic manifolds have isomorphic groups of cosymplectomorphisms (as topological groups), then the underlying manifolds are diffeomorphic. The proof proceeds by characterizing the Reeb…

Gradient-like diffeomorphisms of a closed surface $M^2$ are characterized by a finite hyperbolic limit set and the absence of intersections of invariant manifolds of distinct saddle points. In the case where such diffeomorphisms $f_0,…

We show that a non-wandering endomorphism of the torus with invertible linear part without invariant directions and for which the critical points are in some sense generic is transitive. This improves a result of Andersson by allowing…

Torus orbifolds are topological generalization of symplectic toric orbifolds. We give a construction of smooth orbifolds with torus actions whose boundary is a disjoint union of torus orbifolds using toric topological method. As a result,…

In this short note, we study the bordism problem for group actions on the torus and give examples of groups acting on the torus by diffeomorphisms isotopic to the identity that cannot be extended to an action on a bounding 3-manifold. This…

Let $f$ be a homeomorphism of the closed annulus $A$ isotopic to the identity, and let $X\subset {\rm Int}A$ be an $f$-invariant continuum which separates $A$ into two domains, the upper domain $U_+$ and the lower domain $U_-$. Fixing a…

The double torus provides a relativistic model for a closed 2D cosmos with topology of genus 2 and constant negative curvature. Its unfolding into an octagon extends to an octagonal tessellation of its universal covering, the hyperbolic…

A diffeomorphism $f$ of a compact manifold $X$ is pseudo-isotopic to the identity if there is a diffeomorphism $F$ of $X\times I$ which restricts to $f$ on $X\times 1$, and which restricts to the identity on $X\times 0$ and $\partial…

We give a classification of toric anti-self-dual conformal structures on compact 4-orbifolds with positive Euler characteristic. Our proof is twistor theoretic: the interaction between the complex torus orbits in the twistor space and the…

This note describes how to construct toroidal polyhedra which are homotopic to a given type of knot and which admit an isohedral tiling of 3-space.

Every cohomology ring isomorphism between two non-singular complete toric varieties and quasitoric manifolds, respectively, with second Betti number $2$ is realizable by a diffeomorphism and homeomorphism, respectively.

We classify closed, simply connected $n$-manifolds of non-negative sectional curvature admitting an isometric torus action of maximal symmetry rank in dimensions $2\leq n\leq 6$. In dimensions $3k$, $k=1,2$ there is only one such manifold…

In this paper we give an explicit construction of bounded remainder sets of all possible volumes, for any irrational rotation on the adelic torus $\mathbb A/\mathbb Q$. Our construction involves ideas from dynamical systems and harmonic…

Two-dimensional diffeomorphism symmetry can be described by an operator algebra extension of the well-known Virasoro algebra description of conformal symmetry. Utilizing this extension, this note explains why the conformal symmetry that…

We study topological properties of automorphisms of a 6-dimensional torus generated by integer matrices symplectic with respect to either the standard symplectic structure in six-dimensional linear space or a nonstandard symplectic…

We determine the Lagrangian monodromy group L(T) and the smooth monodromy group S(T) of a Clifford torus T in the symplectic 4-space. We show that L(T) is isomorphic to the infinite dihedral group, and S(T) is generated by three…

We study the relationship between transitivity and topological chaos for homeomorphisms of the two torus. We show that if a transitive homeomorphism of $\mathbb{T}^2$ is homotopic to the identity and has both a fixed point and a periodic…

Adopting the measure of quantum complexity, the quantum logical depth, previously introduced by the author the automorphisms of the noncommutative torus are classified among the (chaotic and non-chaotic) shallow ones and the non-chaotic…

We prove that there exist infinitely many embedded tori with a common geometric dual in $T^4\#(S^2\times S^2)$ that are homotopic, diffeomorphic, but not isotopic to each other, even after arbitrary many external stabilizations. These…

In this note, we give explicit examples of compact complex 3-folds which admit automorphisms that are isotopic to the identity through C $\infty$-diffeomorphisms but not through biholomorphisms. These automorphisms play an important role in…
