The paper extends torus surgery results in 4-manifolds and shows diffeomorphisms.

Study shows groups can act on torus without extending to 3-manifold.

We prove that the autonomous norm on the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of the two-dimensional torus is unbounded. We provide explicit examples of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms with arbitrarily large autonomous norm. For the proofs we construct quasimorphisms on $Ham(T^2)$ and some of them are Calabi.

The paper calculates intertwiners for a torus and proves a conjecture about their limits.

Nilmanifolds are shown to be diffeomorphic to trivial bundles over tori.

The paper describes orbits of circle-valued functions on a 2-torus.

Authors prove quantum invariant conjecture for figure-eight knot complement.

We study cohomological obstructions to extending group actions on the boundary $\partial M$ of a $3$-manifold to a $C^0$-action on $M$ when $\partial M$ is diffeomorphic to a torus or a sphere. In particular, we show that for a $3$-manifold $M$ with torus boundary which is not diffeomorphic to a solid torus, the torus …

Abstract: Proves generic torus diffeomorphisms act parabolically and non-properly on fine curve graph and have generalized rotation sets.

The volume conjecture is extended for surface diffeomorphisms with quantum invariants.

In 2006 Masuda and Suh asked if two compact non-singular toric varieties having isomorphic cohomology rings are homeomorphic. In the first part of this paper we discuss this question for topological generalizations of toric varieties, so-called torus manifolds. For example we show that there are homotopy equivalent tor…

Closed 4-manifolds foliated by hyperplanes are homeomorphic to the 4-torus.

This paper's theme is the relation between several classical and well-known objects: triangle Fuchsian groups, quasi-homogeneous singularities of plane curves, torus knot complements in the 3-sphere. Torus knots are the only nontrivial knots whose complements admit transitive Lie group actions. In fact S^3\K_{p,q} is d…

The aim of this paper is to classify simply connected 6-dimensional torus manifolds with vanishing odd degree cohomology. It is shown that there is a one-to-one correspondence between equivariant diffeomorphism types of these manifolds and 3-valent labelled graphs, called torus graphs introduced by Maeda-Masuda-Panov. …

We prove the hypersymplectic flow of simple type on standard torus $\mathbb{T}^4$ exists for all time and converges to the standard flat structure modulo diffeomorphisms. This result in particular gives the first example of a cohomogeneity-one $G_2$-Laplacian flow on a compact $7$-manifold which exists for all time and…

Classifies actions of tori on manifolds up to diffeomorphisms.

Study shows closed manifolds close to flat tori under Kato Ricci curvature bounds.

Perelman's proof confirmed, new method uses 4D topology.

In this work, we give a survey on non characteristic domains of Heisenberg groups. We prove that bounded domains which are diffeomorphic to the solid torus having the center of the group as rotation axis, are non characteristic. Then, we state the following conjecture : The bounded non characteristic domains of the Hei…

Injective construction proves bounded cohomology dimensions.

New compact Weyl-parallel manifolds discovered in all dimensions n≥5.

It is shown that the compactly supported identity component of the diffeomorphism group of the 2-dimensional punctured torus $\mathbb T^2_p$ is an unbounded group. It follows that the fragmentation norm of $\mathbb T^2_p$ is unbounded.

The study of pseudo-Anosovs through mapping torus geometry.

Contractible diffeomorphism groups on lens spaces derived from Morse-Bott foliations.

We show that the action of Cremona transformations on the real points of quadrics exhibits the full complexity of the diffeomorphisms of the sphere, the torus, and of all non-orientable surfaces. The main result says that if X is rational, then Aut(X), the group of algebraic automorphisms, is dense in Diff(X), the grou…

A torus manifold $M$ is a $2n$-dimensional orientable manifold with an effective action of an $n$-dimensional torus such that $M^T\neq \emptyset$. In this paper we discuss the classification of torus manifolds which admit an invariant metric of non-negative curvature. If $M$ is a simply connected torus manifold which a…

Study projective derivative cocycles for circle diffeomorphisms.

An earlier article with Francis Bonahon introduced new invariants for pseudo-Anosov diffeomorphisms of surface, based on the representation theory of the quantum Teichmuller space. We explicity compute these quantum hyperbolic invariants in the case of the 1-puncture torus and the 4-puncture sphere.

Let $M^n$, $n \in \{4,5,6\}$, be a compact, simply connected $n$-manifold which admits some Riemannian metric with non-negative curvature and an isometry group of maximal possible rank. Then any smooth, effective action on $M^n$ by a torus $T^{n-2}$ is equivariantly diffeomorphic to an isometric action on a normal biqu…

The ``Flux conjecture'' for symplectic manifolds states that the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms is C^1-closed in the group of all symplectic diffeomorphisms. We prove the conjecture for spherically rational manifolds and for those whose minimal Chern number on 2-spheres either vanishes or is large enough. We also…

One can define what it means for a compact manifold with corners to be a "contractible manifold with contractible faces." Two combinatorially equivalent, contractible manifolds with contractible faces are diffeomorphic if and only if their 4-dimensional faces are diffeomorphic. It follows that two simple convex polytop…

Let (G) be a connected compact non-abelian Lie-group and (T) a maximal torus of (G). A torus manifold with (G)-action is defined to be a smooth connected closed oriented manifold of dimension (2\dim T) with an almost effective action of (G) such that (M^T\neq \emptyset). We show that if there is a torus manifold (M) wi…

Study finds conjugate points in geodesics of Kolmogorov flows on torus.

Isomorphic cosymplectomorphism groups imply diffeomorphic manifolds.

We extend the equivariant classification results of Escher and Searle for closed, simply connected, non-negatively curved Riemannian $n$-manifolds admitting isometric isotropy-maximal torus actions to the class of such manifolds admitting isometric strictly almost isotropy-maximal torus actions. In particular, we prove…

We show that if $M$ is a compact smooth manifold diffeomorphic to the total space of an orientable $S^2$ bundle over the torus $T^2$, then its diffeomorphism group does not have the Jordan property, i.e., Diff$(M)$ contains a finite subgroup $G_n$ for any natural number $n$ such that every abelian subgroup of $G_n$ has…

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 …

By a theorem of Banyaga the group of diffeomorphisms of a manifold $P$ preserving a regular contact form $α$ is a central $S^1$ extension of the commutator of the group of symplectomorphisms of the base $B = P/S^1$. We show that if $T$ is a Hamiltonian maximal torus in the group of symplectomorphism of $B$, then its pr…

Study shows non-wandering, partially hyperbolic systems are ergodic.

We consider the space $\X$ of Anosov diffeomorphisms homotopic to a fixed automorphism $L$ of an infranilmanifold $M$. We show that if $M$ is the 2-torus $\mathbb T^2$ then $\X$ is homotopy equivalent to $\mathbb T^2$. In contrast, if dimension of $M$ is large enough, we show that $\X$ is rich in homotopy and has infin…

We determine topological properties of Stein domains with boundary diffeomorphic to T^3, S^1\times S^2 and some Seifert fibered 3-manifolds.

The paper examines the boundedness of bundle diffeomorphism groups over a circle.

Classifies symplectic torus actions up to equivariant symplectomorphism.

This paper is devoted to the study of special subgroups of the automorphism groups of Kronrod-Reeb graphs of a Morse functions on $2$-torus $T^2$ which arise from the action of diffeomorphisms preserving a given Morse function on $T^2$. In this paper we give a full description of such classes of groups.

Proves torus sequences can't collapse to intervals under curvature bounds.

In this paper, we investigate the ergodic and rigidity properties of weakly hyperbolic group actions. Motivated by classical theorems describing Anosov diffeomorphisms, we obtain two main results: First, all C^2 volume preserving weakly hyperbolic actions on closed manifolds are ergodic. This result generalizes Anosov'…

Let G be a compact Lie group and X be a compact smooth G-manifold with finitely many G-fixed points. We show that if X admits a G-equivariant hyperbolic diffeomorphism having a certain convergence property, there exists an open covering of X indexed by the G-fixed points so that each open set is G-stable and G-equivari…

Let $f$ be a Morse function on a smooth compact surface $M$ and $\mathcal{S}'(f)$ be a group of $f$-preserving diffeomorphisms of $M$ which are isotopic to the identity map. Let also $G(f)$ be a group of automorphisms of the graph of $f$ induced by elements from $\mathcal{S}'(f)$, and $Δ'$ be a subgroup of $\mathcal{S…
