Abstract We prove that the asymptotics of ergodic integrals along an invariant foliation of a toral Anosov diffeomorphism, or of a pseudo-Anosov diffeomorphism on a compact orientable surface of higher genus, is determined (up to a logarithmic error) by the action of the diffeomorphism on the cohomology of the surface. As a consequence of our argument and of the results of Giulietti and Liverani [Parabolic dynamics and anisotropic Banach spaces. J. Eur. Math. Soc. (JEMS)21(9) (2019), 2793–2858] on horospherical averages, toral Anosov diffeomorphisms have no Ruelle resonances in the open interval $(1, e^{h_{\mathrm {top}}})$ .

AbstractWe study the integrability of intermediate distributions for Anosov diffeomorphisms and provide an example of a C∞-Anosov diffeomorphism on a three-dimensional torus whose intermediate stable foliation has leaves that admit only a finite number of derivatives. We also show that this phenomenon is quite abundant. In dimension four or higher this can happen even if the Lyapunov exponents at periodic orbits are constant.

Abstract A diffeomorphism of theplane is Anosov if it has a hyperbolic splitting at every point of the plane. In addition to linear hyperbolic automorphisms, translations of the plane also carry an Anosov structure (the existence of Anosov structures for plane translations was originally shown by White). Mendes conjectured that these are the only topological conjugacy classes for Anosov diffeomorphisms in the plane. Very recently, Matsumoto gave an example of an Anosov diffeomorphism of the plane, which is a Brouwer translation but not topologically conjugate to a translation, disproving Mendes’ conjecture. In this paper we prove that Mendes’ claim holds when the Anosov diffeomorphism is the time-one map of a flow, via a theorem about foliations invariant under a time-one map. In particular, this shows that the kind of counterexample constructed by Matsumoto cannot be obtained from a flow on the plane.

Let $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F4}$ be a compact orientable surface of genus $g=1$ with $n=1$ boundary component. The mapping class group $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4}$ of $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F4}$ acts on the $\mathsf{SU}(3)$ -character variety of $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F4}$ . We show that the action is ergodic with respect to the natural symplectic measure on the character variety.

Let R be a ring with identity. The unit graph of R, denoted by G(R), is a simple graph with vertex set R, and where two distinct vertices x and y are adjacent if and only if x + y is a unit in R. The genus of a simple graph G is the smallest nonnegative integer g such that G can be embedded into an orientable surface Sg. In this paper, we determine all isomorphism classes of finite commutative rings whose unit graphs have genus at most three.

AbstractWe show that any symplectic Anosov diffeomorphism of a four torus T4 with sufficiently smooth stable and unstable foliations is smoothly conjugate to a linear hyperbolic automorphism of T4.

Let Σg denote a compact orientable surface of genus g ≥ 2. We consider finite groups G acting effectively on Σg and preserving the orientation—for short, G acts on Σg or Gis a symmetry group of Σg. Each surface Σg admits only finitely many symmetry groups G and the orders of these groups are bounded by Wiman's bound of 84(g – 1). This bound is attained for infinitely many values of g [12], see also [9], and all values of g ≤ 104 for which it is attained are known [4].

AbstractWe study the connectedness of the moduli space of gauge equivalence classes of flat G-connections on a compact orientable surface or a compact nonorientable surface for a class of compact connected Lie groups. This class includes all the compact, connected, simply connected Lie groups, and some non-semisimple classical groups.

This chapter considers the mapping class group, the group of symmetries of a surface, and some of its basic properties. It first provides an overview of surfaces and the concept of homeomorphism before giving examples of homeomorphisms and defining the mapping class group as a certain quotient of the group of homeomorphisms of a surface. It then looks at Dehn twists and describes some of the relations they satisfy. It also presents a theorem stating that the mapping class group of a compact orientable surface is generated by Dehn twists and proves it. It concludes with some projects and open problems. The discussion also includes various exercises.

AbstractLet $$\varSigma $$ Σ be a compact, orientable surface of negative Euler characteristic, and let h be a complete hyperbolic metric on $$\varSigma $$ Σ . A geodesic curve $$\gamma $$ γ in $$\varSigma $$ Σ is filling if it cuts the surface into topological disks and annuli. We propose an efficient algorithm for deciding whether a geodesic curve, represented as a word in some generators of $$\pi _1(\varSigma )$$ π 1 ( Σ ) , is filling. In the process, we find an explicit bound for the combinatorial length of a curve given by its Dehn–Thurston coordinate, in terms of the hyperbolic length. This gives us an efficient method for producing a collection which is guaranteed to contain all words corresponding to simple geodesics of bounded hyperbolic length.
