Bistability with equal and independent removal in small bimolecular networks

Abstract

We classify two-species mass-action networks with at most three internal directed reactions on $\{X,Y,2X,X+Y,2Y\}$, positive inflows, and linear removal of both species. Among the 681 networks up to species exchange, exactly 27 admit two distinct positive hyperbolic attracting equilibria. The same 27 admit bistability with equal removal rates and with independently chosen positive removal rates. Each is minimal under reaction deletion. We give rational equal-removal witnesses for all positive cases and all-parameter exclusions for the remaining 654. The proof combines nullcline geometry, polynomial sign tests, resultant root bounds, and exact flux-cone decompositions. A separate rational-arithmetic implementation verifies the complete classification and its equilibrium certificates.

Simple Tilings of Riemannian Homogeneous Spaces

We define simple tilings in the general context of a $G$-tiling on a Riemannian homogeneous space $M$ to be tilings by Riemannian simplices. As evidence that this definition is natural, we prove that a large class of tilings of $M$ are MLD to simple ones. We further show that there is an isomorphism between uCech cohomology and pattern-equivariant cohomology of simple tilings of homogeneous Riemannian Spaces. This demonstrates the utility of our definition by generalizing an established result on the topology of tiling spaces of Euclidean space.

Expansivity of algebraic semigroup actions

For a semigroup $S$ and a right $\mathbb{Z}[S]$-submodule $J\leq \mathbb{Z}[S]^n$, we study expansivity of the algebraic action of $S$ induced on the Pontryagin dual of $\mathbb{Z}[S]^n/J$. We completely determine the class of semigroups for which expansivity of this action is characterized by the triviality of $J^\perp$, in terms of the existence of a finite subset $K\subseteq S$ such that $S=KS$. This condition is satisfied in particular by every monoid, and more generally by every semigroup with a left unital convolution Banach algebra, in which case we are able to extend the characterization of expansivity in terms of an invertibility condition when $J$ is finitely generated. We also exhibit examples of non-unital semigroups satisfying the hypotheses of our results.

Exact dimensionality of stationary measures for random diffeomorphisms with all Lyapunov exponents equal and negative

We prove exact dimensionality of ergodic stationary measures for random compositions of $C^1$ diffeomorphisms of a closed manifold $M$ that contract at a single Lyapunov scale. More precisely, let $ν$ be a Borel probability measure on $\mathrm{Diff}^1(M)$ such that $\log\sup_{x}\|{D_xf}\|$ and $\log\sup_{x}\|{D_xf^{-1}}\|$ are $ν$-integrable, and let $μ$ be an ergodic $ν$-stationary probability measure. If the top and bottom Lyapunov exponents of the derivative cocycle coincide and equal $λ<0$, then $μ$ is exact dimensional and $\mathrm{dim}(μ)=h_μ^{\mathrm{F}}(ν)/(-λ)$, where $h_μ^{\mathrm{F}}(ν)$ is the Furstenberg entropy.
