On maximal transitive sets of generic diffeomorphisms
We find the minimum dilatation of pseudo-Anosov homeomorphisms that stabilize an orientable foliation on surfaces of genus three, four, or five, and provide a lower bound for genus six to eight. Our technique also simplifies Cho and Ham’s proof of the least dilatation of pseudo-Anosov homeomorphisms on a genus two surface. For genus to , the minimum dilatation is the smallest Salem number for polynomials of degree .
Let be a without fixed point lift to the plane of a homeomorphism of the open annulus isotopic to the identity and without wandering point. We show that admits a -invariant dense open set on which it is conjugate to a translation and we study the action of on the compactly connected components of the closed and without interior set .
Let f: S¹ × [0,1] → S¹ × [0,1] be a real-analytic diffeomorphism which is homotopic to the identity map and preserves an area form. Assume that for some lift f̃: ℝ × [0,1] → ℝ × [0,1] we have Fix(f̃) = ℝ × 0 and that f̃ positively translates points in ℝ × 1. Let be the perturbation of f̃ by the rigid horizontal translation (x,y) ↦ (x+ϵ,y). We show that for all ϵ > 0 sufficiently small. The proof follows from Kerékjártó’s construction of Brouwer lines for orientation preserving homeomorphisms...
Soit un homéomorphisme du plan qui préserve l’orientation et qui a un point périodique de période . Nous montrons qu’il existe un point fixe tel que le nombre d’enlacement de et ne soit pas nul. En d’autres termes, le nombre de rotation de l’orbite de dans l’anneau est un élément non nul de . Ceci donne une réponse positive à une question posée par John Franks.
Two dynamical deformation theories are presented – one for surface homeomorphisms, called pruning, and another for graph endomorphisms, called kneading – both giving conditions under which all of the dynamics in an open set can be destroyed, while leaving the dynamics unchanged elsewhere. The theories are related to each other and to Thurston’s classification of surface homeomorphisms up to isotopy.
Building on the kneading theory for Lozi maps introduced by Yutaka Ishii, in 1997, we introduce a symbolic method to compute its largest Lyapunov exponent. We use this method to study the behavior of the largest Lyapunov exponent for the set of points whose forward and backward orbits remain bounded, and find the maximum value that the largest Lyapunov exponent can assume.
Soit un difféomorphisme d’une surface possédant deux fers à cheval tels que et aient en un point une tangence quadratique isolée. Nous montrons que, si la somme des dimensions transverses de et est strictement plus grande que 1, les difféomorphismes voisins de tels que et soient stablement tangents au voisinage de forment une partie de densité inférieure strictement positive en .
The Brouwer’s plane translation theorem asserts that for a fixed point free orientation preserving homeomorphism f of the plane, every point belongs to a Brouwer line: a proper topological embedding C of R, disjoint from its image and separating f(C) and f–1(C). Suppose that f commutes with the elements of a discrete group G of orientation preserving homeomorphisms acting freely and properly on the plane. We will construct a G-invariant topological foliation of the plane by Brouwer lines. We apply...
