Triangular maps with the chain recurrent points periodic.
Two commuting maps without common minimal points
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 example shows...
Uniformly recurrent sequences and minimal Cantor omega-limit sets
We investigate the structure of kneading sequences that belong to unimodal maps for which the omega-limit set of the turning point is a minimal Cantor set. We define a scheme that can be used to generate uniformly recurrent and regularly recurrent infinite sequences over a finite alphabet. It is then shown that if the kneading sequence of a unimodal map can be generated from one of these schemes, then the omega-limit set of the turning point must be a minimal Cantor set.
Weak mixing and product recurrence
In this article we study the structure of the set of weakly product recurrent points. Among others, we provide necessary conditions (related to topological weak mixing) which imply that the set of weakly product recurrent points is residual. Additionally, some new results about the class of systems disjoint from every minimal system are obtained.
