We show that the Hausdorff reflection preserves the shape type of spaces. Some examples as well as the applicability in inverse limits of finite spaces are presented.

We study the group of automorphisms of the affine plane preserving some given curve, over any field. The group is proven to be algebraic, except in the case where the curve is a bunch of parallel lines. Moreover, a classification of the…

Given a finite metric CW complex $X$ and an element $\alpha \in \pi_n(X)$, what are the properties of a geometrically optimal representative of $\alpha$? We study the optimal volume of $k\alpha$ as a function of $k$. Asymptotically, this…

We provide two algorithms for computing the volume of a convex polytope with half-space representation {x>=0; Ax <=b} for some (m,n) matrix A and some m-vector b. Both algorithms have a O(n^m) computational complexity which makes them…

Noether's theorem, which connects continuous symmetries to exact conservation laws, remains one of the most fundamental principles in physics and dynamical systems. In this work, we draw a conceptual parallel between two paradigms: the…

We study the problem of classifying the holomorphic $(m,n)$-subharmonic morphisms in complex space. This determines which holomorphic mappings preserves $m$-subharmonicity in the sense that the composition of the holomorphic mapping with a…

Following an approach of the second author for conformally invariant variational problems in two dimensions, we show in four dimensions the existence of a conservation law for fourth order systems, which includes both intrinsic and…

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…

In this article, we continue the work in \cite{GL} and study a normalized hypersurface flow in the more general ambient setting of warped product spaces. This flow preserves the volume of the bounded domain enclosed by a graphical…

We consider quasisymmetric reparametrizations of the parameter space of the quadratic family. We prove that the set of quadratic maps which are either regular or Collet-Eckmann with polynomial recurrence of the critical orbit has full…

A family of discontinuous symplectic maps on the cylinder is considered. This family arises naturally in the study of nonsmooth Hamiltonian dynamics and in switched Hamiltonian systems. The transformation depends on two parameters and is a…

In this paper first we describe all (not necessarily linear or bijective) transformations on $\mathbb{R}^d$ with $2\leq d<\infty$ which preserve the area of parallelograms spanned by any two vectors. We also characterize those (not…

Let $M$ be a smooth manifold and $F$ be a vector field on $M$. My article ["Smooth shifts along trajectories of flows", Topol. Appl. 130 (2003) 183-204, arXiv:math/0106199] concerning the homotopy types of the group of diffeomorphisms…

We exhibit an extension of the category of class two nilpotent groups. It has the same objects but, unlike the latter, its morphisms are closed under pointwise addition of maps. At the same time the class of its morphisms is much smaller…

In this paper, we consider the problem of formal iteration. We construct an area preserving mapping which does not have any square root. This leads to a counterexample to Moser's existence theorem for an interpolation problem. We give…

In this article we introduce order preserving representations of fundamental groups of surfaces into Lie groups with bi-invariant orders. By relating order preserving representations to weakly maximal representations, introduced in…

The main result of this paper is a proof using real analysis of the monotonicity of the topological entropy for the family of quadratic maps, sometimes called Milnor's Monotonicity Conjecture. In contrast, the existing proofs rely in one…

We develop a Melnikov method for volume-preserving maps with codimension one invariant manifolds. The Melnikov function is shown to be related to the flux of the perturbation through the unperturbed invariant surface. As an example, we…

Several perturbation tools are established in the volume preserving setting allowing for the pasting, extension, localized smoothing and local linearization of vector fields. The pasting and local linearization hold in all classes of…

Let f be a volume-preserving diffeomorphism of a closed C^\infty n-dimensional Riemannian manifold M: In this paper, we prove the equivalence between the following conditions: (a) f belongs to the C1-interior of the set of volume-preserving…
