Topological Quantum

We discuss relation between knot theory and topological quantum field theory. Also it is considered a theory of superpolynomial invariants of knots which generalizes all other known theories of knot invariants. We discuss a possible generalization of topological quantum field theory with the help of superpolynomial invariants.

AbstractWe introduce a functor which associates to every measure-preserving system (X,ℬ,μ,T) a topological system $(C_2(\mu ),\tilde {T})$ defined on the space of twofold couplings of μ, called the topological lens of T. We show that often the topological lens ‘magnifies’ the basic measure dynamical properties of T in terms of the corresponding topological properties of $\tilde {T}$. Some of our main results are as follows: (i) T is weakly mixing if and only if $\tilde {T}$ is topologically transitive (if and only if it is topologically weakly mixing); (ii) T has zero entropy if and only if $\tilde {T}$ has zero topological entropy, and T has positive entropy if and only if $\tilde {T}$ has infinite topological entropy; (iii) for T a K-system, the topological lens is a P-system (i.e. it is topologically transitive and the set of periodic points is dense; such systems are also called chaotic in the sense of Devaney).

Type 3

Recently Ohtsuki [Oh2], motivated by the notion of finite type knot invariants, introduced the notion of finite type invariants for oriented, integral homology 3-spheres. In the present paper we propose another definition of finite type invariants of integral homology 3-spheres and give equivalent reformulations of our notion. We show that our invariants form a filtered commutative algebra. We compare the two induced filtrations on the vector space on the set of integral homology 3-spheres. As an observation, we discover a new set of restrictions that finite type invariants in the sense of Ohtsuki satisfy and give a set of axioms that characterize the Casson invariant. Finally, we pose a set of questions relating the finite type 3-manifold invariants with the (Vassiliev) knot invariants.

Spring Area

The areas considered are related to two different configurations of fold and flip bifurcation curves of maps, centred at a cusp point of a fold curve. This paper is a continuation of an earlier one devoted to parameter plane representation. Now the transition is studied in a thee-dimensional representation by introducing a norm associated with fixed or periodic points. This gives rise to complete information on the map bifurcation structure.

Recurrent Set

We give a characterization of complex and simple interval maps and circle maps (in the sense of positive or zero topological entropy respectively), formulated in terms of the description of the dynamics of the map on its chain recurrent set. We also describe the behavior of complex maps on their periodic points.

Almost All

We show that for almost every ergodic $S$-integer dynamical system the radius of convergence of the dynamical zeta function is no larger than $\exp(-\frac{1}{2}h_{\rm top})<1$. In the arithmetic case almost every zeta function is irrational.We conjecture that for almost every ergodic $S$-integer dynamical system the radius of convergence of the zeta function is exactly $\exp(-h_{\rm top})<1$ and the zeta function is irrational.In an important geometric case (the $S$-integer systems corresponding to isometric extensions of the full $p$-shift or, more generally, linear algebraic cellular automata on the full $p$-shift) we show that the conjecture holds with the possible exception of at most two primes $p$.Finally, we explicitly describe the structure of $S$-integer dynamical systems as isometric extensions of (quasi-)hyperbolic dynamical systems.

Birkhoff Theorem

It is shown how George D. Birkhoff's proof of the Poincaré Birkhoff theorem can be modified using ideas of H. Poincaré to give a rather precise lower bound on the number of components of the set of periodic points of the annulus. Some open problems related to this theorem are discussed.
