We construct an open set of endomorphisms of an arbitrary two-dimensional manifold which have attractors and non-wandering sets with non-invariant interior. This is a notable contrast to the properties of diffeomorphisms, where the interior…

We assign to each nondegenerate Hamiltonian on a closed symplectic manifold a Floer-theoretic quantity called its "boundary depth," and establish basic results about how the boundary depths of different Hamiltonians are related. As…

We establish two results under which the topology of a hyperbolic set constrains ambient dynamics. First if a set is a compact, transitive, expanding hyperbolic attractor of codimension 1 for some diffeomorphism, then it is a union of…

Let M be a smooth compact connected oriented manifold of dimension at least two endowed with a volume form. Assuming certain conditions on the fundamental group $\pi_1(M)$ we construct quasi-isometric embeddings of either free Abelian or…

We show that every volume preserving codimension one Anosov flow on a closed Riemannian manifold of dimension greater than three admits a global cross section and is therefore topologically conjugate to a suspension of a linear toral…

To guarantee the stability of the cosmological constant sector against radiative corrections coming from quantum matter fields, one of the most natural ingredients to invoke is the symmetry under scale transformations of the gravitational…

We consider the problem of distortion minimal morphing of $n$-dimensional compact connected oriented smooth manifolds without boundary embedded in $\R^{n+1}$. Distortion involves bending and stretching. In this paper, minimal distortion…

We study the dynamics of generic volume-preserving automorphisms $f$ of a Stein manifold $X$ of dimension at least 2 with the volume density property. Among such $X$ are all connected linear algebraic groups (except $\mathbb{C}$ and…

We prove existence of regions minimizing perimeter under a volume constraint in contact sub-Riemannian manifolds such that their quotient by the group of contact transformations preserving the sub-Riemannian metric is compact.

We prove a theorem on structural stability of smooth attractor-repellor endomorphisms of compact manifolds, with singularities. By attractor-repellor, we mean that the non-wandering set of the dynamics $f$ is the disjoint union of a…

In the present paper, we revisit gravitational theories which are invariant under TDiffs -- transverse (volume preserving) diffeomorphisms and global scale transformations. It is known that these theories can be rewritten in an equivalent…

We use monopole Floer homology to study the topology of the space of contact structures on a 3-manifold. Our main tool is a generalisation of the Kronheimer--Mrowka--Ozsv\'ath--Szab\'o contact invariant to an invariant for families of…

The smallest $r$ so that a metric $r$-ball covers a metric space $M$ is called the radius of $M$. The volume of a metric $r$-ball in the space form of constant curvature $k$ is an upper bound for the volume of any Riemannian manifold with…

We outline the flexibility program in smooth dynamics, focusing on flexibility of Lyapunov exponents for volume-preserving diffeomorphisms. We prove flexibility results for Anosov diffeomorphisms admitting dominated splittings into…

We demonstrate that a Poisson structure can always be associated to a general nonautonomous 3D vector field of ODEs by means of a diffeomorphism that preserves both the orientation and the volume of phase-space. The only prerequisite is the…

This article clarifies the status of linearized contact homology given the foundations of the contact dg-algebra established by Pardon. In particular, we prove that the set of isomorphism classes of linearized contact homologies of a closed…

The equations of motion of a mechanical system subjected to nonholonomic linear constraints can be formulated in terms of a linear almost Poisson structure in a vector bundle. We study the existence of invariant measures for the system in…

In this paper we find that the asymptotic nonlinear Maslov index defined on the universal cover of the group of all contact Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of the standard 2n-1 dimensional contact sphere is a quasimorphism. Then we show our…

We show that if (M,\omega) is a closed symplectic manifold which admits a nontrivial Hamiltonian vector field all of whose contractible closed orbits are constant, then Hofer's metric on the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of…

We prove a $C^\infty$ closing lemma for Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of closed surfaces. This is a consequence of a $C^\infty$ closing lemma for Reeb flows on closed contact three-manifolds, which was recently proved as an application of…
