C 1 -minimal subsets of the circle

Dusa McDuff (1981)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Similarity:

Necessary conditions are found for a Cantor subset of the circle to be minimal for some C 1 -diffeomorphism. These conditions are not satisfied by the usual ternary Cantor set.

Two commuting maps without common minimal points

Tomasz Downarowicz (2011)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We construct an example of two commuting homeomorphisms S, T of a compact metric space X such that the union of all minimal sets for S is disjoint from the union of all minimal sets for T. In other words, there are no common minimal points. This answers negatively a question posed in [C-L]. We remark that Furstenberg proved the existence of "doubly recurrent" points (see [F]). Not only are these points recurrent under both S and T, but they recur along the same sequence of powers. Our...

A first-order version of Pfaffian closure

Sergio Fratarcangeli (2008)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

The purpose of this paper is to extend a theorem of Speissegger [J. Reine Angew. Math. 508 (1999)], which states that the Pfaffian closure of an o-minimal expansion of the real field is o-minimal. Specifically, we display a collection of properties possessed by the real numbers that suffices for a version of the proof of this theorem to go through. The degree of flexibility revealed in this study permits the use of certain model-theoretic arguments for the first time, e.g. the compactness...
