Anosov Flows on New Three Manifolds.
In this talk, we shall look at the application of Nielsen theory to certain questions concerning the "homotopy minimum" or "homotopy stability" of periodic orbits under deformations of the dynamical system. These applications are mainly to the dynamics of surface homeomorphisms, where the geometry and algebra involved are both accessible.
We introduce the notions of asymptotic period and asymptotically periodic orbits in metric spaces. We study some properties of these notions and their connections with ω-limit sets. We also discuss the notion of growth rate of such orbits and describe its properties in an extreme case.
Let F be a germ of analytic transformation of (Cp, 0). We say that F is semi-attractive at the origin, if F'(0) has one eigenvalue equal to 1 and if the other ones are of modulus strictly less than 1. The main result is: either there exists a curve of fixed points, or F - Id has multiplicity k and there exists a domain of attraction with k - 1 petals. We also study the case where F is a global isomorphism of C2 and F - Id has multiplicity k at the origin. This work has been inspired by two papers:...
