Abstract

We show that the set of points in the Teichmuller space of the universal hyperbolic solenoid which do not have a Teichmuller extremal representative is generic (that is, its complement is the set of the first kind in the sense of Baire). This is in sharp contrast with the Teichmuller space of a Riemann surface where at least an open, dense subset has Teichmuller extremal representatives. In addition, we provide a sufficient criteria for the existence of Teichmuller extremal representatives in the given homotopy class. These results indicate that there is an interesting theory of extremal (and uniquely extremal) quasiconformal mappings on hyperbolic solenoids.

Hilbert's 16th problem through Morse theory

We focus on the second part of Hilbert's 16th problem and provide an upper bound on the number of limit cycles that a polynomial, differential, planar system may have, depending exclusively on the degree $n$ of the system. Such a bound turns out to be a polynomial of degree $4$ in $n$. More specifically, if $H(n)$ indicates the maximum number of limit cycles among planar, differential, polynomial systems of degree $n$, then \begin{gather} H(n)\le \dfrac52 n^4-\dfrac{23}2 n^3+ \dfrac{43}2n^2-\dfrac{37}2n+7\,\,\,\, \mbox{if $n$ is even, and} \nonumber H(n)\le \dfrac52 n^4-\dfrac{23}2 n^3+ \dfrac{41}2n^2-\dfrac{33}2n+6\,\,\,\, \mbox{if $n$ is odd}.\nonumber \end{gather} For quadratic systems, we find $H(2)=4$. Our proof is entirely variational and utilizes in a fundamental way tools and facts from Morse theory, to the point that no particular expertise in dynamical systems is necessary or required. It is particularly interesting to compare our results with the ones for the same problem recently announced and made public by OpenAI as part of the solution of hundreds of important mathematical problems.

On the Dynamics of Invariant Graphs for Dissipative Twist Maps

We study the persistence and internal dynamics of invariant graphs for dissipative twist maps. Explicit $C^1$ persistence and parameter estimates allow every real rotation number to be realized by varying either translation parameter, while arbitrarily small zero-mean analytic perturbations at fixed irrational horizontal parameters can yield analytic graphs with dynamics conjugate to rational rotations. With a fixed Brjuno horizontal parameter and fixed-strip analyticity, normally attracting $C^r$ graphs persist under perturbations of size $(1-λ)^γ$, for any $γ>0$ and prescribed finite $r$, as $λ\to1^-$. At the critical Lipschitz bound, the invariant graphs can carry Denjoy dynamics and have countably many nondifferentiable points, with perturbations smooth outside a null Cantor set and tending to zero in every Hölder norm of order less than one.

Non-stationary normal coordinates on neighborhoods of Pesin stable manifolds

We construct non-stationary normal coordinates in a neighborhood of Pesin stable manifolds \cite{Pesin}. This construction is a natural extension, via jets in the normal directions, of the non-stationary normal coordinates on stable manifolds introduced by Guysinsky and Katok. We emphasize that this extension provides a useful framework for describing the fractal geometric structures of stable and unstable foliations in smooth dynamical systems.
