The Smale horseshoes in a class of non-invertible maps in with two-direction instability

We study the existence of Smale horseshoes of new type and the uniformly hyperbolic invariant sets for a class of non-invertible maps in three-dimensional Euclidean spaces with the dimension of instability equal to two. Parameter regions are given, for which the map has a horseshoe and a uniformly hyperbolic invariant set on which the map is topologically conjugate to the two-sided fullshift on four symbols.     

Resolving Extensions of Finitely Presented Systems

In this paper we extend certain central results of zero dimensional systems to higher dimensions. The first main result shows that if (Y,f) is a finitely presented system, then there exists a Smale space (X,F) and a u-resolving factor map π ₊:X→Y. If the finitely presented system is transitive, then we show there is a canonical minimal u-resolving Smale space extension. Additionally, we show that any finite-to-one factor map between transitive finitely presented systems lifts through u-resolving maps to an s-resolving map.     

Totally geodesic maps into metric spaces

We prove that a totally geodesic map between a Riemannian manifold and a metric space can be represented as the composite of a totally geodesic map from a Riemannian manifold to a Finslerian manifold and a locally isometric embedding between metric spaces. As a corollary, we obtain the homotheticity of a totally geodesic map from an irreducible Riemannian manifold to an Alexandrov space of curvature bounded above. This is a generalization of the case between Riemannian manifolds.

Measure of noninvertibility of minimal maps

Minimal maps in compact metric spaces are known to be almost one-to-one. Thus, the set of points with more than one preimage is of first category. In the present paper we study the measure of this set with respect to the invariant measures of the considered minimal map. Among others, we give an example of a minimal self-mapping of a continuum such that the set of points with more than one preimage has positive measure for every invariant measure.     

Irreducible maps of commutative rings

We give necessary conditions for a map to be irreducible (in the category of finitely generated, torsion free modules) over a non-local, commutative ring and sufficient conditions when the ring is Bass. In particular, we show that an irreducible map of ZG, where G is a square free abelian group, must be a monomorphism with a simple cokernel. We also show that local endomorphism rings are necessary and sufficient for the existence of almost split sequences over a commutative Bass ring and we explicitly describe the modules and the maps in those sequences. The results in this paper enable us to describe the Auslander-Reiten quiver of a non-local Bass ring in [8].     

Coupled-expanding maps and one-sided symbolic dynamical systems

This paper studies relationships between coupled-expanding maps and one-sided symbolic dynamical systems. The concept of coupled-expanding map is extended to a more general one: coupled-expansion for a transitive matrix. It is found that the subshift for a transitive matrix is strictly coupled-expanding for the matrix in certain disjoint compact subsets; the topological conjugacy of a continuous map in its compact invariant set of a metric space to a subshift for a transitive matrix has a close relationship with that the map is strictly coupled-expanding for the matrix in some disjoint compact subsets. A certain relationship between strictly coupled-expanding maps for a transitive matrix in disjoint bounded and closed subsets of a complete metric space and their topological conjugacy to the subshift for the matrix is also obtained. Dynamical behaviors of subshifts for irreducible matrices are then studied and several equivalent statements to chaos are obtained; especially, chaos in the sense of Li–Yorke is equivalent to chaos in the sense of Devaney for the subshift, and is also equivalent to that the domain of the subshift is infinite. Based on these results, several new criteria of chaos for maps are finally established via strict coupled-expansions for irreducible transitive matrices in compact subsets of metric spaces and in bounded and closed subsets of complete metric spaces, respectively, where their conditions are weaker than those existing in the literature.     

Asplund operators and holomorphic maps

LetE andF be locally convex topological vector spaces. A holomorphic mapf: E→F is defined to be an Asplund map if it takes the separable subsets of a neighbourhood of eacha∈E into absolutely convex weakly metrisable subsets ofF; a Banach space is an Asplund space if and only if its identity map has this property. We show that a continuous linear map from a quasinormable locally convex spaceE into a Banach spaceF is an Asplund map if and only if it factors through an Asplund space. IfE andF are both Banach spaces, then a holomorphic mapf: E→F is an Asplund map if and only if its derivative maps factor through Asplund spaces for eacha∈E. This is true if and only if such a factorisation holds ata=0.

Stable maps of Polish spaces

We define the notions of stable and transquotient maps and study the relation between these classes of maps. The class of stable maps contains all closed and open maps and their compositions. The transquotient maps preserve the property of being a Polish space, and every stable map between separable metric spaces is transquotient.

In particular, a composition of closed and open maps (the intermediary spaces may not be metric) preserves the property of being a Polish space. This generalizes the results of Sierpinski and Vainstein for open and closed maps.

     

Superrigidity of Hyperbolic Buildings

In this paper, we study the behavior of harmonic maps into complexes with branching differentiable manifold structure. The main examples of such target spaces are Euclidean and hyperbolic buildings. We show that a harmonic map from an irreducible symmetric space of noncompact type other than real or complex hyperbolic into these complexes are non-branching. As an application, we prove rank-one and higher-rank superrigidity for the isometry groups of a class of complexes which includes hyperbolic buildings as a special case.     

On countable connected locally connected almost regular Urysohn spaces

We construct connected, locally connected, almost regular, countable, Urysohn spaces. This answers a problem of G.X. Ritter. We show that there are 2^c such non-homeomorphic spaces. We also show that there are 2^c non-homeomorphic spaces which are further rigid. We discuss the group of homeomorphisms of such spaces.The following question was raised by G.X. Ritter: Does there exist a countable connected locally connected Urysohn space which is almost regular? We answer this question in the affirmative and in fact, show that not only are there as many as 2^c such spaces but that there are just as many rigid spaces with the same properties. Furthermore we show that every countable Urysohn space is a subspace of such a space. We also prove that every countable group is isomorphic to the group of autohomeomorphisms of some connected locally connected almost regular Urysohn space. Examples are given of groups of order c which can be represented in this manner.

Almost disjoint families of connected sets

We investigate the question which (separable metrizable) spaces have a ‘large’ almost disjoint family of connected (and locally connected) sets. Every compact space of dimension at least 2 as well as all compact spaces containing an ‘uncountable star’ have such a family. Our results show that the situation for 1-dimensional compacta is unclear.     

Structure stability of maps with snap-back repellers in Banach spaces

In this paper, we study small perturbations of a class of chaotic discrete systems in Banach spaces induced by snap-back repellers. If a map has a regular and non-degenerate snap-back repeller, then it still has a regular and non-degenerate snap-back repeller under a sufficiently small perturbation. Consequently, the perturbed system is still chaotic in the sense of both Devaney and Li–Yorke as the original one. Furthermore, in order to study structural stability of maps with regular and non-degenerate snap-back repellers, we first discuss structural stability of strictly A-coupled-expanding maps in Banach spaces. Applying this result, we show that a map with a regular and non-degenerate snap-back repeller in a Banach space is C ¹ structurally stable on its chaotic invariant set.     

Property C and closed maps

A standard theorem from dimension theory states that a closed (m+1) to 1 map defined on a finite dimensional space can raise dimension by at most m. Dimension raising maps on countable dimensional spaces and on weakly infinite dimensional spaces have been investigated by A.V. Arhangelskii, A.I. Vainstein and E.G. Sklyarenko. A typical theorem is that a closed map on such spaces raises dimension only if some point has an uncountable number of preimages. A class of infinite dimensional spaces closely related to the two types mentioned above is the class of C spaces. R. Pol's example in 1980 and work of F.D. Ancel have generated renewed interest in C spaces. We prove results about dimension raising closed maps defined on C spaces that are analogous to the results mentioned above.     

Applications of almost one-to-one maps

A continuous map of topological spaces X,Y is said to be almost 1-to-1 if the set of the points x∈X such that f⁻¹(f(x))={x} is dense in X; it is said to be light if pointwise preimages are 0-dimensional. In a previous paper we showed that sometimes almost one-to-one light maps of compact and σ-compact spaces must be homeomorphisms or embeddings. In this paper we introduce a similar notion of an almost d-to-1 map and extend the above results to them and other related maps. In a forthcoming paper we use these results and show that if f is a minimal self-mapping of a 2-manifold then point preimages under f are tree-like continua and either M is a union of 2-tori, or M is a union of Klein bottles permuted by f.     

Linear approximation of approximately biorthogonality preserving maps

We investigate linear properties of mappings from a bounded domain of an n-dimensional normed space into another n-dimensional normed space such that the image of some almost biorthogonal system is almost biorthogonal. In this way we generalize a result of the author on stability of orthogonality in Euclidean spaces.     

Pseudodeformations

We study the deformation functor of a reducible pseudocharacter. We show that there is a natural filtration (the complexity filtration) on such a functor, and that this filtration induces a filtration on the tangent space, whose graded pieces can be described in terms of the extension spaces between the irreducible components of the pseudocharacter. We also study the obstruction theory of that deformation problem.     

Virtually stable maps and their fixed point sets

We introduce the concept of virtually stable selfmaps of Hausdorff spaces, which generalizes virtually nonexpansive selfmaps of metric spaces introduced in the previous work by the first author, and explore various properties of their convergence sets and fixed point sets. We also prove that the fixed point set of a virtually stable selfmap satisfying a certain kind of homogeneity is always star-convex.     

Approximately spectrum-preserving maps

Let X and Y be superreflexive complex Banach spaces and let B(X) and B(Y) be the Banach algebras of all bounded linear operators on X and Y, respectively. If a bijective linear map Φ:B(X)→B(Y) almost preserves the spectra, then it is almost multiplicative or anti-multiplicative. Furthermore, in the case where X=Y is a separable complex Hilbert space, such a map is a small perturbation of an automorphism or an anti-automorphism.
