Abstract

For $n\ge2$, we classify the affine diffeomorphisms $f_{A,v}(x)=Ax+v$ on $\mathbb R^n$ that admit a complete Riemannian metric with respect to which they are Anosov. Such a metric exists if and only if $A$ is hyperbolic or $f_{A,v}$ has no fixed point, equivalently $v\notin\operatorname{Im}(I-A)$. In the latter case, $f_{A,v}$ is smoothly conjugate to a translation when $\det A>0$ and to White's map times the identity when $\det A<0$. We also determine the possible stable indices. In the hyperbolic case, the index is determined by the stable spectrum of $A$, whereas a map with no fixed point admits complete Anosov metrics of every stable index from $1$ to $n-1$. Along the $1$-eigenspace, every such metric must exhibit exponential growth of vector norms along one of the two half orbits. We then determine the interior and boundary of the Anosov-realizable locus in the affine parameter space and describe the corresponding change of the index spectrum near regular drift parameters. Finally, we show that Anosov-realizability is not open in the two-sided weak $C^1_{\mathrm{loc}}$ topology but is open in the two-sided strong Whitney $C^1$ topology.

Stationary varifolds with singularities II

For every dimension $m\geq 3$, we show the existence of an open set $U\subset \mathbb R^{m+1}$, a smooth Riemannian metric $g$ on it, and an integral $m$-dimensional stationary varifold $V$ in $(U,g)$ with the following properties. $V$ has a flat tangent plane of multiplicity $2$ at an interior point $p$, it is a smoot...

Rigidity for proper holomorphic ball maps with degenerate CR Gauss map

Let $n$ and $N$ be integers with $2\leq n<N$, and let $F:\mathbb{B}^n\to\mathbb{B}^N$ be a proper holomorphic map that admits a $C^{N-n+1}$-smooth extension to the boundary. We prove that if the CR Gauss map of its boundary restriction is generically degenerate, then $F$ is holomorphically equivalent, under composition...

Weights of finite cyclic actions on definite $4$-manifolds

Let $X$ be a closed, smooth, orientable, positive definite $4$-manifold with $H_1(X ; \mathbb{Z}) = 0$. Let $p$ be a prime and suppose that $G = \mathbb{Z}_p$ acts smoothly on $X$ (if $p=2$ we also require an assumption on how $G$ acts on $H^2(X ; \mathbb{Z})$). Using equivariant Yang--Mills theory, Hambleton--Lee and...

Real-analytic realization of universal Teichm\"uller space via complex-structures on $H^{1/2}$

Let $H$ be the Hilbert transform, let $h$ be a quasisymmetric homeomorphism of the unit circle $S^1$, and set $V_hu=u\circ h$ and $J_h=V_hHV_h^{-1}$, defined on the Sobolev space $H^{1/2}(S^1)$. We prove that $h\mapsto V_h$ is nowhere continuous in operator norm, although it is continuous in the strong operator topolog...

Harmonic maps from $\mathbb{S}^{2n+1}$ to $\mathbb{C}P^n$ with low Morse index

We study the Jacobi spectrum and low-index rigidity of complex Hopf fibrations. We first give a representation-theoretic description of the Jacobi operator of a homogeneous Riemannian fibration and apply it to \[ \pi:(\mathbb{S}^{2n+1},g_\epsilon)\longrightarrow(\mathbb{C}P^n,h), \] where $g_\epsilon$ is a Berger metri...

An arithmetic integrability result for codimension-one foliations on complex projective spaces

Let $\F$ be a codimension-one holomorphic foliation of degree $d$ on $\PP^n$, $n\geq3$, admitting an invariant hyperplane $H$. We study the extremal situation in which $S=(H\cap\Sing(\F))_{\rm red}$ is an irreducible hypersurface of $H$ of degree $d+1$. When $d+1$ is a power of a prime, we prove that, in suitable homog...
