Answering a question of Smale, we prove that the space of C1 diffeomorphisms of a compact manifold contains a residual subset of diffeomorphisms whose centralizers are trivial.
We prove that the spaces of C1 symplectomorphisms and of C1 volume-preserving diffeomorphisms of connected manifolds both contain residual subsets of diffeomorphisms whose centralizers are trivial. (Les diffeomorphismes conservatifs C1-generiques ont un centralisateur trivial. Nous montrons que lespace des symplectomorphismes de classe C1 et lespace des diffeomomorphismes de classe C1 preservant une forme volume contiennent tous deux des sous-ensembles residuels de diffeomorphismes dont le centralisateur est trivial.)
We prove that for infinite rank-one transformations satisfying a property called partial boundedness, the only commuting transformations are powers of the original transformation. This shows that a large class of infinite measure-preserving rank-one transformations with bounded cuts have trivial centralizers. We also characterize when partially bounded transformations are isomorphic to their inverse.
In the first part of this text we give a survey of the properties satisfied by the C1-generic conservative diffeomorphisms of compact surfaces. The main result that we will discuss is that a C1-generic conservative diffeomorphism of a connected compact surface is transitive. It is obtain as a consequence of a connecting lemma for pseudo-orbits. In the last parts we expose some recent developments of the C1-perturbation technics and the proof of this connecting lemma. We are not aimed to deal with technicalities nor to give the finest availab
We prove the so called Livv{s}ic theorem for cocycles taking values in the group of $C^{1+beta}-diffeomorphisms of any closed manifold of arbitrary dimension. Since no localization hypothesis is assumed, this result is completely global in the space of cocycles and thus extends the previous result of the second author and Potrie [KP16] to higher dimensions.
Let $Lambda$ be a complex manifold and let $(f_lambda)_{lambdain Lambda}$ be a holomorphic family of rational maps of degree $dgeq 2$ of $mathbb{P}^1$. We define a natural notion of entropy of bifurcation, mimicking the classical definition of entropy, by the parametric growth rate of critical orbits. We also define a notion a measure-theoretic bifurcation entropy for which we prove a variational principle: the measure of bifurcation is a measure of maximal entropy. We rely crucially on a generalization of Yomdins bound of the volume of the image of a dynamical ball. Applying our technics to complex dynamics in several variables, we notably define and compute the entropy of the trace measure of the Green currents of a holomorphic endomorphism of $mathbb{P}^k$.
