Adapts a short argument to derive a stability theorem for smooth maps.

The paper explores density of stable mappings and their properties.

This paper shows stable mappings are never dense on non-compact manifolds.

We prove a theorem on structural stability of smooth attractor-repellor endomorphisms of compact manifolds, with singularities. By attractor-repellor, we mean that the non-wandering set of the dynamics $f$ is the disjoint union of a repulsive compact subset with a hyperbolic attractor on which $f$ acts bijectively. The…

Develops a Thom-Mather theory for corank 1 frontals.

The paper extends Thurston's method to new variants of Mather-Thurston theorem.

We establish a form of the h-principle for the existence of foliations quasi-complementary to a given one; the same methods also provide a proof of the classical Mather-Thurston theorem.

We introduce a version of Aubry-Mather theory for the length functional of causal curves in compact Lorentzian manifolds. Results include the existence of maximal invariant measures, calibrations and calibrated curves. We prove two versions of the Mather's graph theorem. A class of examples, the Lorentzian Hedlund exam…

The paper strengthens a theorem on crossings under linear perturbations with Hausdorff measure estimates.

We review the author's results on Mather's $β$ function : non-strict convexity of $β$ when the configuration space has dimension two, link between the size of the Aubry set and the differentiability of $β$, correlation between the rationality of the homology class and the differentiability of $β$, equality of the Mathe…

The paper refines Mather-Thurston theorems for flat connections in manifolds.

In his celebrated paper "Generic projections", John Mather has given a striking transversality theorem and its applications on generic projections. On the other hand, in this paper, two transversality theorems on generic linearly perturbed $C^r$ mappings are shown $(r\geq 1)$. Moreover, some applications of the two the…

Paper confirms conjecture for PL foliations of codimension 2.

The study proves the existence of many geodesics on complex manifolds.

We give the characterization of Arnol'd-Mather type for stable singular Legendre immersions. The most important building block of the theory is providing a module structure on the space of infinitesimal integral deformations by means of the notion of natural liftings of differential systems and of contact Hamiltonian v…

Study calculates Mather β-function for ellipses and applies it to rigidity problems.

This article is devoted to the study of smooth desingularization, which are customary employed in the definition of De Rham Intersection Cohomology with differential forms. In this paper we work with the category of Thom-Mather simple spaces. We construct a functor which sends each Thom-Mather simple space into a smoot…

The paper studies maximal stretch and Lipschitz maps on negatively curved manifolds.

The paper characterizes gaps in minimal foliations on tori using energy criteria.

For $Γ_1$-structures on 3-manifolds, we give a very simple proof of Thurston's regularization theorem, first proved in \cite{thurston}, without using Mather's homology equivalence. Moreover, in the co-orientable case, the resulting foliation can be chosen of a precise kind, namely an "open book foliation modified by su…

Proves geodesic connections on 2-torus without invariant tori.

We consider Aubry-Mather theory for a subclass of class A spacetimes, i.e. compact vicious spacetimes with globally hyperbolic Abelian cover. In this subclass, called class A_1, we obtain improved results on timelike maximizers and Lipschitz continuity of the time separation of the Abelian cover on the i.g. optimal sub…

It is a celebrated result of Mather that the group of $C^k$--diffeomorphisms of an $n$--manifold is simple, provided that a mild isotopy condition is satisfied, with the possible exception of $k=n+1$. The purpose of this article is mostly expository, and in it we give a detailed account of Mather's proof in the case wh…

Proves homology of mapping class groups for infinite-type surfaces.

In a previous work we proved the uniqueness and functoriality of primary unfoldings on simple Thom-Mather spaces, which is a functor to the category of smooth manifolds. In this article we extend these results for any stratified Thom-Mather pseudomanifold with arbitary finite length, through a new kind of intermediate …

We obtain a large deviation function for the stationary measures of twisted Brownian motions associated to the Lagrangians $L_λ(p,v)=\frac{1}{2}g_{p}(v,v)- λω_{p}(v)$, where $g$ is a $C^{\infty}$ Riemannian metric in a compact surface $(M,g)$ with nonpositive curvature, $ω$ is a closed 1-form such that the Aubry-Mather…

Survey of integrable billiard models and inequalities.

Geometric analysis proves weak KAM solutions constant under specific conditions.

For a given multicusp $f=c_{(θ_0,..., θ_i)}$ $(1\le i)$, we present a direct sum decomposition theorem of the source space of ${}_i\barωf$, where ${}_i\barωf$ is a higher version of the reduced Kodaira-Spencer-Mather map $\barωf$. As a corollary of our direct sum decomposition theorem, we show that for any $i\in \mathb…

Extends cohomology to incomplete Riemannian manifolds.

In his celebrated paper "Generic projections", John Mather has shown that almost all linear projections from a submanifold of a vector space into a subspace are transverse with respect to a given modular submanifold. In this paper, an improvement of Mather's result is stated. Namely, we show that almost all linear pert…

We consider singular foliations of codimension one on 3-manifolds, in the sense defined by A. Haefliger as being Gamma_1-structures. We prove that under the obvious linear embedding condition, they are Gamma_1-homotopic to a regular foliation carried by an open book or a twisted open book. The latter concept is introdu…

Non-compact manifolds prevent $C^0$-stable mappings from being dense.

In this paper, the notion of generic transversality and its characterization are given. The characterization is also a further improvement of the basic transversality result and its strengthening which was given by John Mather.

We show that the stable commutator length vanishes for certain groups defined as infinite unions of smaller groups. The argument uses a group-theoretic analogue of the Mazur swindle, and goes back to the works of Anderson, Fisher, and Mather on homeomorphism groups.

Stability theorem for concordance embeddings with applications.

Study on stability of hyperkähler flow in 4-manifolds.

Stability results for geometric equations in warped product spaces.

The paper (in French) exemplifies graphically a solution of the heat equation which is a 1-dimensional unfolding of an elliptic umbilic catastrophe. The example is due to James Damon and adapts Thom-Mather's singularity theory to multiscale models of scale-space analysis in image processing.

The paper defines a stratification for Lie groupoids in a tame topology context.

Extends G-signature theorem to Witt G-pseudomanifolds.

We identify a strong stability condition on minimal submanifolds that implies uniqueness and dynamical stability properties. In particular, we prove a uniqueness theorem and a C^1 dynamical stability theorem of the mean curvature flow for minimal submanifolds that satisfy this condition. The latter theorem states that …

Real analytic maps can be unstable even if infinitesimal changes are stable.

Schoen-Yau's zero mass theorem stability remains an open question.

The main result of this paper is a sufficient condition in order to have a compact Thom-Mather stratified pseudomanifold endowed with a $\hat{c}$-iterated edge metric on its regular part $q$-parabolic. Moreover, besides stratified pseudomanifolds, the $q$-parabolicity of other classes of singular spaces, such as compac…

Stability of positive mass theorem proven under Ricci curvature bounds.

The main result is a version of Morse inequalities for the minimum and maximum ideal boundary conditions of the de Rham complex on strata of compact Thom-Mather stratifications, endowed with adapted metrics. An adaptation of the analytic method of Witten is used in the proof, as well as certain perturbation of the harm…
