We consider compact, aspherical solenoids obtained as the inverse limit of a system of CW~complexes and covering maps. This includes $P$-adic solenoids, as well as the universal hyperbolic solenoid of Teichmüller theory. Using ideas from shape theory, we classify maps between such solenoids up to homotopy, and we prove…

We introduce the concept of solenoid as an abstract laminated space. We do a thorough study of solenoids, leading to the notion of ergodic and uniquely ergodic solenoids. We define generalized currents associated with immersions of oriented solenoids with a transversal measure into smooth manifolds, generalizing Ruelle…

A measured solenoid is a laminated space endowed with a tranversal measure invariant by holonomy, as defined in arXiv:0910.2836. A measured solenoid immersed in a smooth manifold produces a closed current (known as generalized Ruelle-Sullivan current). Uniquely ergodic solenoids are those for which there is a unique (u…

Embeds Higson compactification into adelic solenoids.

A measured solenoid is a compact laminated space endowed with a transversal measure. The De Rham $L^2$-cohomology of the solenoid is defined by using differential forms which are smooth in the leafwise directions and $L^2$ in the transversal direction. We develop the theory of harmonic forms for Riemannian measured sol…

When a solenoid is embedded in three space, its complement is an open three manifold. We discuss the geometry and fundamental groups of such manifolds, and show that the complements of different solenoids (arising from different inverse limits) have different fundamental groups. Embeddings of the same solenoid can give…

Study of fundamental groups of knotted solenoid complements in 3D sphere.

The paper explores low-dimensional solenoidal manifolds and their properties.

Given a sequence of regular finite coverings of complete Riemannian manifolds, we consider the covering solenoid associated with the sequence. We study the leaf-wise Laplacian on the covering solenoid. The main result is that the spectrum of the Laplacian on the covering solenoid equals the closure of the union of the …

Solenoids are ``inverse limits'' of the circle, and the classical knot theory is the theory of tame embeddings of the circle into the 3-space. We give some general study, including certain classification results, of tame embeddings of solenoids into the 3-space as the ``inverse limits'' of the tame embeddings of the ci…

Mostow rigidity proven for special geometric manifolds.

Abstract commensurators linked to topological models of solenoids.

We develop the intersection theory associated to immersed, oriented and mea- sured solenoids, which were introduced in arXiv:0910.2836.

We define generalized currents associated with immersions of abstract oriented solenoids with a transversal measure. We realize geometrically the full real homology of a compact manifold with these generalized currents, and more precisely with immersions of minimal uniquely ergodic solenoids. This makes precise and geo…

A quick proof of Bing's theorem indicated by the title is given. The proof also concludes Gumerov's result on covering degrees of solenoids.

Motivated by the study in Morse theory and Smale's work in dynamics, the following questions are studied and answered: (1) When does a 3-manifold admit an automorphism having a knotted Smale solenoid as an attractor? (2) When does a 3-manifold admit an automorphism whose non-wandering set consists of Smale solenoids? T…

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 present a boundary version of a theorem about solenoidal unit vector fields with minimum energy on a spherical domain of an odd dimensional Euclidean sphere.

In this note, we prove the magnetic spectral gap-labelling conjecture as stated in [arXiv:1508.01064], in all dimensions, for principal solenoidal tori.

We define generalized currents associated with immersions of abstract solenoids with a transversal measure. We realize geometrically the full real homology of a compact manifold with these generalized currents, and more precisely with immersions of minimal uniquely ergodic solenoids. This makes precise and geometric De…

We extend Schwartzman theory beyond dimension 1 and provide a unified treatment of Ruelle-Sullivan and Schwartzman theories via Birkhoff's ergodic theorem for the class of immersions of solenoids with a trapping region.

For smooth compact connected manifolds with strictly convex boundary, no conjugate points and a hyperbolic trapped set, we prove an equivalence principle concerning the injectivity of the X-ray transform $I_m$ on symmetric solenoidal tensors and the surjectivity of an operator ${π_m}_*$ on the set of solenoidal tensors…

The space of non-singular flows on any given solenoid is shown to contain a generic subset consisting of flows that are not almost periodic. Whether this result carries over to Hamiltonian flows remains an open question.

A measured laminations on the universal hyperbolic solenoid $§$ is, by our definition, a leafwise measured lamination with appropriate continuity for the transverse variations. An earthquakes on theuniversal hyperbolic solenoid $§$ is uniquely determined by a measured lamination on $§$; it is a leafwise earthquake with…

Previous work of the author has developed coordinates on bundles over the classical Teichmueller spaces of punctured surfaces and on the space of cosets of the Moebius group in the group of orientation-preserving homeomorphisms of the circle, and this work is surveyed here. Joint work with Dragomir Saric is also sketch…

We establish an equivalence principle between the solenoidal injectivity of the geodesic ray transform acting on symmetric $m$-tensors and the existence of invariant distributions or smooth first integrals with prescribed projection over the set of solenoidal $m$-tensors. We work with compact simple manifolds, but seve…

We give a presentation for the baseleaf preserving mapping class group $Mod(§)$ of the punctured solenoid $§$. The generators for our presentation were introduced previously, and several relations among them were derived. In addition, we show that $Mod(§)$ has no non-trivial central elements. Our main tool is a new com…

In this paper we find smooth embeddings of solenoids in smooth foliations. We show that if a smooth foliation F of a manifold M contains a compact leaf L with H^1(L;R)= 0 and if the foliation is a product foliation in some saturated open neighbourhood U of L, then there exists a foliation F' on M which is C^1-close to …

Study on Einstein solitons with specific vector fields and their properties.

This paper will be splited into two papers and submited later.

We find all Heegaard diagrams with the property "alternating" or "weakly alternating" on a genus two orientable closed surface. Using these diagrams we give infinitely many genus two 3--manifolds, each admits an automorphism whose non-wondering set consists of two Williams solenoids, one attractor and one repeller. The…

NOHD optimizes multi-agent systems by decomposing dynamics into irrotational and solenoidal components.

This article considers inverse problems on closed Riemannian surfaces whose geodesic flow is Anosov. We prove spectral rigidity for any Anosov surface and injectivity of the geodesic ray transform on solenoidal 2-tensors. We also establish surjectivity results for the adjoint of the geodesic ray transform on solenoidal…

We show that on simple surfaces the geodesic ray transform acting on solenoidal symmetric tensor fields of arbitrary order is injective. This solves a long standing inverse problem in the two-dimensional case.

As a first step to understand how complicated attractors for dynamical systems can be, one may consider the following realizability problem: given a continuum $K \subseteq \mathbb{R}^3$, decide when $K$ can be realized as an attractor for a homeomorphism of $\mathbb{R}^3$. In this paper we introduce toroidal sets as th…

Linear flows on inverse limits of tori are defined and it is shown that two linear flows on an inverse limit of tori are equivalent if and only if there is an automorphism of the inverse limit generating the equivalence.

Under the assumption that the X-ray transform over symmetric solenoidal 2-tensors is injective, we prove that smooth compact connected manifolds with strictly convex boundary, no conjugate points and a hyperbolic trapped set are locally marked boundary rigid.

Paper shows invertibility of tensor X-ray transform on certain manifolds.

Study proves solenoidal injectivity for tensor fields on curved manifolds with low regularity.

We generalize Hagopian's theorem characterizing solenoids to higher dimensions by showing that any homogeneous continuum admitting a fiber bundle projection onto a torus with totally disconnected fibers admits a compatible abelian topological group structure. The higher dimensional exponent group is then introduced.

We give a necessary condition for a closed subset of $R^3$ to be the set of critical points of some smooth function. In particular we obtain that for example neither the Whitehead continuum nor the p-adic solenoid are such a critical sets.

The punctured solenoid $§$ is an initial object for the category of punctured surfaces with morphisms given by finite covers branched only over the punctures. The (decorated) Teichmüller space of $§$ is introduced, studied, and found to be parametrized by certain coordinates on a fixed triangulation of $§$. Furthermore…

We prove that (apart from dimension $n=4$), each Riemannian solenoidal lamination with transitive homeomorphism group and leaves isometric to a symmetric space $X$ of noncompact type, is homeomorphic to the inverse limit of the system of finite covers of a compact locally-symmetric $n$-manifold.

In this article we investigate the relations between three kinds of vector fields with close connection to each other. A compact orientable manifold enables us to integrate over it, which is very different from noncompact manifolds, and this gives difference of those relationships between on compact and noncompact mani…

We study in detail Hodge-Helmholtz decompositions in non-smooth exterior domains filled with inhomogeneous and anisotropic media. We show decompositions of alternating differential forms belonging to weighted Sobolev spaces into irrotational and solenoidal forms. These decompositions are essential tools, for example, i…

We study the geodesic X-ray transform on Cartan-Hadamard manifolds, and prove solenoidal injectivity of this transform acting on functions and tensor fields of any order. The functions are assumed to be exponentially decaying if the sectional curvature is bounded, and polynomially decaying if the sectional curvature de…

We discuss analogies between number theory and the theory of dynamical systems on spaces with a one-codimensional foliation. The emphasis is on comparing the "explicit formulas" of analytic number theory with certain dynamical Lefschetz trace formulas. We also point out a possible relation between an Arakelov-Euler cha…

We show injectivity of the X-ray transform and the $d$-plane Radon transform for distributions on the $n$-torus, lowering the regularity assumption in the recent work by Abouelaz and Rouvière. We also show solenoidal injectivity of the X-ray transform on the $n$-torus for tensor fields of any order, allowing the tensor…
