چکیده
Given a volume-preserving homeomorphism of a smooth manifold of dimension n ≥ 5, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for uniform approximability by (volume-preserving) diffeomorphisms.

Periodic, Locally Linear, and Chaotic Approximations to Volume Preserving Homeomorphisms
We modify a combinatorial idea of Peter Lax, to uniformly approximate any volume preserving homeomorphism h of the closed unit cube In; n 2; by another one ĥ such that either: (i) ĥ rigidly permutes an in nite family of dyadic cubes of total volume one, or (ii) ĥ is chaotic in the sense of Devaney. The rst result (i) generalizes a similar result of Oxtoby and Ulam, yielding an approximation whi...
متن کاملSymplectic Flows on the Open Ball
In an earlier paper [4] we raised the question: Does every symplectic diffeomorphism of the open unit ball, B2”, in R”’ have a fixed point? We showed that there is an open neighborhood of the identity map in the C’ line topology for which the answer is yes. In this paper it is shown that the answer is no in general. There is a complete, infinitesimally symplectic vectorfield on B4 without any z...
متن کاملVolume-Preserving Diffeomorphisms with Periodic Shadowing
We show that if a volume-preserving diffeomorphism belongs to the C1-interior of the set of all volume preserving diffeomorphisms having the periodic shadowing property then it is Anosov. Mathematics Subject Classification: 37C10, 37C50, 37D20
متن کاملSlow Diffeomorphisms of a Manifold with T Action
The uniform norm of the differential of the n-th iteration of a diffeomorphism is called the growth sequence of the diffeomorphism. In this paper we show that there is no lower universal growth bound for volume preserving diffeomorphisms on manifolds with an effective T2 action by constructing a set of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms with arbitrarily slow growth.
متن کاملNon-standard smooth realization of translations on the torus
Let M be a smooth compact connected manifold, on which there exists an effective smooth circle action preserving a positive smooth volume. On M, we construct volume-preserving diffeomorphisms that are metrically isomorphic to ergodic translations on the torus, translations in which one given coordinate of the translation is an arbitrary Liouville number. To obtain this result, we explicitly con...
