Research shows quadratic growth in derivative maxima for certain interval diffeos with parabolic fixed points.

Study ping-pong dynamics in hyperbolic-like groups with non-simple points.

We prove a global fixed point theorem for the centralizer of a homeomorphism of the two dimensional disk $D$ that has attractor-repeller dynamics on the boundary with at least two attractors and two repellers. As one application, we show that there is a finite index subgroup of the centralizer of a pseudo-Anosov homeom…

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…

This is an expanded version of [arXiv:1107.4836v1 [math.DS]]. Using techniques from [Chapter XI, The Selberg Trace Formula, in Eigenvalues in Riemannian Geometry, by Isaac Chavel], in which a differential-geometrically intrinsic treatment of counterparts of classical electrostatics was introduced, it is shown that on s…

Topological surgery occurs in natural phenomena where two points are selected and attracting or repelling forces are applied. The two points are connected via an invisible `thread'. In order to model topologically such phenomena we introduce dynamics in 1-, 2- and 3-dimensional topological surgery, by means of attracti…

Repelling random walks improve graph-based sampling efficiency.

We prove that a "random" free group outer automorphism is an ageometric fully irreducible outer automorphism whose ideal Whitehead graph is a union of triangles. In particular, we show that its attracting (and repelling) tree is a nongeometric $\mathbb R$-tree all of whose branch points are trivalent

RAHMC improves sampling from multimodal distributions using dissipative dynamics.

The Prytz planimeter is a simple example of a system governed by a non-holonomic constraint. It is unique among planimeters in that it measures something more subtle than area, combining the area, centroid and other moments of the region being measured, with weights depending on the length of the planimeter. As a tool …

EKM addresses imbalanced data clustering by repelling centroids in large clusters.

In this paper we study the Lorenz equations using the perspective of the Conley index theory. More specifically, we examine the evolution of the strange set that these equations posses throughout the different values of the parameter. We also analyze some natural Morse decompositions of the global attractor of the syst…

Let $P$ be a polynomial of degree $d$ with a Cremer point $p$ and no repelling or parabolic periodic bi-accessible points. We show that there are two types of such Julia sets $J_P$. The \emph{red dwarf} $J_P$ are nowhere connected im kleinen and such that the intersection of all impressions of external angles is a cont…

Uniform bounds found for Sierpinski carpet hyperbolic components.

This paper introduces repulsive Monte Carlo methods for computing the sliced Wasserstein distance.

This note deals with arbitrary Morse-Smale diffeomorphisms in dimension 3 and extends ideas from \cite{GrLaPo}, \cite{GrLaPo1}, where gradient-like case was considered. We introduce a kind of Morse-Lyapunov function, called dynamically ordered, which fits well dynamics of diffeomorphism. The paper is devoted to finding…

In this paper we study the cohomological Conley index of arbitrary isolated invariant continua for continuous maps $f \colon U \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d \to \mathbb{R}^d$ by analyzing the topological structure of their unstable manifold. We provide a simple dynamical interpretation for the first cohomological Conley index…

SRMC framework reduces Monte Carlo variance by history-based sampling in high-dimensional spaces.

The paper extends sequences while preserving statistical properties using a mixture model.

The Moebius energy of a knot is an energy functional for smooth curves based on an idea of self-repelling. If a knot has a thick tubular neighborhood, we would intuitively expect the energy to be low. In this paper, we give explicit bounds for energy in terms of the ropelength of the knot, i.e. the ratio of the length …

Using alternating Heegaard diagrams, we construct some 3-manifolds which admit diffeomorphisms such that the non-wandering sets of the diffeomorphisms are composed of Smale-Williams solenoid attractors and repellers, an interesting example is the truncated-cube space. In addition, we prove that if the nonwandering set …

We prove that dynamical coherence is an open and closed property in the space of partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms of $\mathbb{T}^3$ isotopic to Anosov. Moreover, we prove that strong partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms of $\mathbb{T}^3$ are either dynamically coherent or have an invariant two-dimensional torus whi…

A classification of partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms on 3-dimensional manifolds with (virtually) solvable fundamental group is obtained. If such a diffeomorphism does not admit a periodic attracting or repelling two-dimensional torus, it is dynamically coherent and leaf conjugate to a known algebraic example. This …

The paper classifies circle actions on 6D manifolds with isolated fixed points.

In this paper, we establish Basmajian's identity for $(1,1,2)$-hyperconvex Anosov representations from a free group into $PGL(n, R)$. We then study our series identities on holomorphic families of Cantor non-conformal repellers associated to complex $(1,1,2)$-hyperconvex Anosov representations. We show that the series …

The paper highlights issues in fixed point claims in digital topology.

In this paper, we study a circle action on a compact oriented manifold with a discrete fixed point set. The fixed point data consists of the weights of the $S^1$-representations at the fixed points. We prove various results and properties of the action, in terms of the fixed point data. We show that the manifold can be…

Study fixed point indices and words at infinity for graph selfmaps.

We show the existence of a family of manifolds on which all (pointwise or absolutely) partially hyperbolic systems are dynamically coherent. This family is the set of 3-manifolds with nilpotent, non-abelian fundamental group. We further classify the partially hyperbolic systems on these manifolds up to leaf conjugacy. …

Corrects incorrect assertions about fixed points in digital topology.

Belief propagation (BP) is an iterative method to perform approximate inference on arbitrary graphical models. Whether BP converges and if the solution is a unique fixed point depends on both the structure and the parametrization of the model. To understand this dependence it is interesting to find \emph{all} fixed poi…

Incorrect fixed point assertions in digital topology are discussed.

Let $G$ be a compact Lie group acting isometrically on a compact Riemannian manifold $M$ with nonempty fixed point set $M^G$. We say that $M$ is fixed-point homogeneous if $G$ acts transitively on a normal sphere to some component of $M^G$. Fixed-point homogeneous manifolds with positive sectional curvature have been c…

Fixed point assertions in digital topology are often incorrect or poorly stated.
