Singularity Collisions through Homotopical Dynamical cancellation

Abstract

We introduce collisions of invariant sets and, in particular, consider dynamical homotopical cancellations that preserve the homotopy type of the underlying singular manifold. We develop the theory of homotopical dynamical cancellation for generalized Gutierrez-Sotomayor (GGS) flows defined on GGS manifolds. This framework extends the classical cancellation theory of Morse flows to the singular setting. To effectively capture these homotopical cancellations, we introduce a GGS chain complex, which encodes essential dynamical and algebraic-topological information. Furthermore, we provide a spectral sequence analysis of a filtered GGS chain complex, demonstrating a bijective correspondence between algebraic cancellations of the modules of the spectral sequence and homotopical dynamical cancellations in the GGS flow. Several illustrative examples are presented, highlighting the practical applicability of the proposed framework.

Measures of maximal entropy for $C^\infty$ three-dimensional flows

We prove that every $C^\infty$ non-singular flow with positive entropy on a compact three-dimensional manifold without boundary admits finitely many ergodic measures of maximal entropy. This result extends the notable work of Buzzi-Crovisier-Sarig (\emph{Ann. of Math.}, 2022) on surface diffeomorphisms. Our approach differs by addressing the continuity of Lyapunov exponents and the uniform largeness of Pesin sets for measures of maximal entropy. Furthermore, it provides an alternative proof for the case of surface diffeomorphisms.

Multistationarity in semi-open Phosphorylation-Dephosphorylation Cycles

Multistationarity underlies biochemical switching and cellular decision-making. We study how multistationarity in the sequential $n$-site phosphorylation-dephosphorylation cycle is affected when only some species are open, meaning allowed to exchange with the environment (so-called semi-open networks). Working under mass action kinetics, we obtain two complementary structural results for $n\geq$2. First, opening any nonempty subset of the substrate species preserves the network's capacity for nondegenerate multistationarity. Second, opening the enzyme species (both kinase and phosphatase), possibly together with any subset of substrates, always destroys multistationarity. The latter result is proved by a general reduction framework combining the detection of absolute concentration robustness (ACR) with projection onto the remaining species; when the projection produces a monostationary network, the full semi-open system is monostationary. We also illustrate the general method on multi-layer cascade variants and discuss biological implications.

Propagation of regularity along unstable manifolds

Let $φ_t : M \to M$ be a flow on a smooth closed connected manifold $M$ that preserves and expands a foliation $F$. We establish a theorem of propagation of regularity along the leaves of $F$ for sections of vector bundles satisfying a transport equation involving the generator of a cocycle over $φ_t$. As a consequence, we prove a regularity result for Pollicott-Ruelle resonant states: if such state is smooth in restriction to a piece of an unstable leaf, then it is in fact smooth over the entire manifold. We also announce further applications related to joint integrability of extreme bundles of partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms. The proofs rely on a leafwise semiclassical pseudodifferential calculus adapted to a foliated space, which may be of independent interest.
