In dimension 3, we prove Fried conjecture, relating Reidemeister torsion and ζX(0). In higher dimensions, we show more generally that ζX(0) is locally constant with…
We determine parts of the contact homology of certain contact 3-manifolds in the framework of open book decompositions, due to Giroux.

We study nilmanifolds admitting Anosov automorphisms by applying elementary properties of algebraic units in number fields to the associated Anosov Lie algebras.

Study reveals failure of uniqueness in dynamical invariants for 3D volume-preserving diffeomorphisms.
problem Uniqueness of dynamical invariants for 3D volume-preserving diffeomorphisms.
method Examined failure of uniqueness on integral homology spheres and arbitrary three-manifolds using local and global invariants.
result Failure of uniqueness is severe, with continuous and non-constant invariants appearing in C1-open sets of nonvanishing exact fields of fixed helicity. We prove that a ``bouillabaisse'' surface (translation surface which has two transverse parabolic elements) has totally real trace field. As a corollary, non trivial Veech groups which have no parabolic elements do exist. The proof follows Veech's viewpoint on Thurston's construction of pseudo-Anosov diffeomorphisms.
