We show that all non-trivial continuous endomorphisms of the circle group are topologically mixing. We also show that there exists a large infinite class of continuous endomorphisms of any n-dimensional torus group which are topologically mixing. Lastly, we prove that any continuous endomorphism on an abelian polish se…

The paper classifies fixed subgroups of endomorphisms in free-abelian times surface groups.

Any endomorphism of a finitely generated free group naturally descends to an injective endomorphism of its stable quotient. In this paper, we prove a geometric incarnation of this phenomenon: namely, that every expanding irreducible train track map inducing an endomorphism of the fundamental group gives rise to an expa…

We determine the automorphisms and the continuous endomorphisms of the Einstein gyrogroup in arbitrary dimension. This generalizes a recent result of Lajos Molnár and Dániel Virosztek, who have determined the continuous endomorphisms in the three-dimensional case.

We prove that the mass endomorphism associated to the Dirac operator on a Riemannian manifold is non-zero for generic Riemannian metrics. The proof involves a study of the mass endomorphism under surgery, its behavior near metrics with harmonic spinors, and analytic perturbation arguments.

The monoids of simplicial endomorphisms, i.e. the monoids of endomorphisms in the simplicial category, are submonoids of monoids one finds in Temperley-Lieb algebras, and as the monoids of Temperley-Lieb algebras are linked to situations where an endofunctor is adjoint to itself, so the monoids of simplicial endomorphi…

By applying a variant of the TQFT constructed by Blanchet, Habegger, Masbaum, and Vogel, and using a construction of Ohtsuki, we define a module endomorphism for each knot K by using a tangle obtained from a surgery presentation of K. We show that it is strong shift equivalent to the Turaev-Viro endomorphism associated…

We give a necessary and sufficient condition on the 1-jet of a field of nilpotent endomorphisms to be integrable. Together with the well known corresponding condition for an almost complex structure, the nullity of its Nijenhuis tensor, this gives an integrability condition for any field of endomorphisms.

Defines strongest integrability condition for skew-symmetric endomorphisms.

Novel ternary structures reveal new interpretations of linear connections.

We prove that the outer automorphism group $Out(G)$ is residually finite when the group $G$ is virtually compact special (in the sense of Haglund and Wise) or when $G$ is isomorphic to the fundamental group of some compact $3$-manifold. To prove these results we characterize commensurating endomorphisms of acylindrical…

We prove that every endomorphism of the mapping class group of an orientable surface onto a subgroup of finite index is in fact an automorphism.

We study Nijenhuis structures on Courant algebroids in terms of the canonical Poisson bracket on their symplectic realizations. We prove that the Nijenhuis torsion of a skew-symmetric endomorphism N of a Courant algebroid is skew-symmetric if the square of N is proportional to the identity, and only in this case when t…

We address the problem of necessary conditions and topological obstructions for the existence of robustly transitive maps on surfaces. Concretely, we show that partial hyperbolicity is a necessary condition in order to have $C^1$ robustly transitive endomorphisms with critical points on surfaces, and the only surfaces …

Let φbe an endomorphism of a finitely generated free group F, and let H be a finite-index subgroup of F that is invariant under φ. The nonzero eigenvalues of φare contained in the eigenvalues of φrestricted to H.

Study of transitivity in partially hyperbolic maps with expanding linear part.

Hyperbolicity proven for a specific type of group extension.

A fixed point theorem is proved for inverse transducers, leading to an automata-theoretic proof of the fixed point subgroup of an endomorphism of a finitely generated virtually free group being finitely generated. If the endomorphism is uniformly continuous for the hyperbolic metric, it is proved that the set of regula…

Let $(M,g)$ be a closed Riemannian spin manifold. The constant term in the expansion of the Green function for the Dirac operator at a fixed point $p\in M$ is called the mass endomorphism in $p$ associated to the metric $g$ due to an analogy to the mass in the Yamabe problem. We show that the mass endomorphism of a gen…

For a closed surface $S$ with $χ(S)<0$, we show that the fixed subgroup of a family $\mathcal B$ of endomorphisms of $π_1(S)$ has $\rk \fix\mathcal B\leq \rk π_1(S)$. In particular, if $\mathcal B$ contains a non-epimorphic endomorphism, then $\rk \fix\mathcal B\leq \frac{1}{2} \rk π_1(S)$. We also show that geometric …

This paper studies fixed points of graph selfmaps and iwip endomorphisms of free groups.

The Complex Axis theorem states that any endomorphism of a finite-dimensional complex vector space affords an eigen-vector (or "invariant axis"). A geometric proof of this geometric result was given by A. de Medeiros, transforming the endomorphism into a topological self-map with Lefschetz number not equal to zero. We …

We construct an endomorphism of the Khovanov invariant to prove H-thinness and pairing phenomena of the invariants for alternating links. As a consequence, it follows that the Khovanov invariant of an oriented nonsplit alternating link is determined by its Jones polynomial, signature, and the linking numbers of its com…

A new method classifies almost contact metric manifolds using intrinsic endomorphisms.

In this letter we investigate some aspects of the noncommutative differential geometry based on derivations of the algebra of endomorphisms of an oriented complex hermitian vector bundle. We relate it, in a natural way, to the geometry of the underlying principal bundle and compute the cohomology of its complex of nonc…

We study noncommutative generalizations of such notions of the classical symplectic geometry as degenerate Poisson structure, Poisson submanifold and quotient manifold, symplectic foliation and symplectic leaf for associative Poisson algebras. We consider these structures for the case of the endomorphism algebra of a v…

We study the fields of endomorphisms intertwining pairs of symplectic structures. Using these endomorphisms we prove an analogue of Moser's theorem for simultaneous isotopies of two families of symplectic forms. We also consider the geometric structures defined by pairs and triples of symplectic forms for which the squ…

Let M be a compact manifold equipped with a Riemannian metric g and a spin structure \si. We let $λ(M,[g],\si)= \inf_{\tilde{g} \in [g]} λ_1^+(\tilde{g}) Vol(M,\tilde{g})^{1/n}$ where $λ_1^+(\tilde{g})$ is the smallest positive eigenvalue of the Dirac operator D in the metric $\tilde{g}$. A previous result stated that …

We prove that for certain endomorphisms of a nilmanifold N the set S of those points such that the closure of its (forward) orbit contains no periodic points is large in the sense that for any non-empty open set U, the set U\cap S is of full Hausdorff dimension. When the manifold N is a torus, this result is due to S.G…

The paper derives a formula for Lefschetz number of a geometric endomorphism.

On a (pseudo-)Riemannian manifold (MM,g), some fields of endomorphisms i.e. sections of End(TMM) may be parallel for g. They form an associative algebra A, which is also the commutant of the holonomy group of g. As any associative algebra, A is the sum of its radical and of a semi-simple algebra S. Here we study S: it …

We study the noncommutative differential geometry of the algebra of endomorphisms of any SU(n)-vector bundle. We show that ordinary connections on such SU(n)-vector bundle can be interpreted in a natural way as a noncommutative 1-form on this algebra for the differential calculus based on derivations. We interpret the …

We explore the intrinsic geometry of tangent bundles and properties of the mirror map.

Little is known about the global topology of the Fatou set $U(f)$ for holomorphic endomorphisms $f: \mathbb{CP}^k \to \mathbb{CP}^k$, when $k >1$. Classical theory describes $U(f)$ as the complement in $\mathbb{CP}^k$ of the support of a dynamically-defined closed positive $(1,1)$ current. Given any closed positive $(…

We compute first variation formulas for the complex components of the Bakry-Emery-Ricci endomorphism along Kähler structures. Our formulas show that the principal parts of the variations are quite standard complex differential operators with particular symmetry properties on the complex decomposition of the variation o…
