-gap between entropy-zero Hamiltonians and autonomous diffeomorphisms of surfaces
Michael Brandenbursky, Michael Khanevsky
Let be a surface equipped with an area form. There is an long standing open question by Katok, which, in particular, asks whether every entropy-zero Hamiltonian diffeomorphism…
The Schwarz-Milnor lemma for braids and area-preserving diffeomorphisms
Michael Brandenbursky, Michał Marcinkowski, Egor Shelukhin
We prove a number of new results on the large-scale geometry of the -metrics on the group of area-preserving diffeomorphisms of each orientable surface. Our proofs use in a ke…
On the entropy norm on
Michael Brandenbursky, Egor Shelukhin
In this note we prove that for each positive integer there exists a bi-Lipschitz embedding , where is equipped with the entropy metric. In particula…
Fragmentation norm and relative quasimorphisms
Michael Brandenbursky, Jarek Kędra
We prove that manifolds with complicated enough fundamental group admit measure-preserving homeomorphisms which have positive stable fragmentation norm with respect to balls of bou…
On the entropy norm on the group of diffeomorphisms of closed oriented surface
Michael Brandenbursky, Arpan Kabiraj
We prove that the entropy norm on the group of diffeomorphisms of a closed orientable surface of positive genus is unbounded.
Concordance of certain 3-braids and Gauss diagrams
Michael Brandenbursky
Let be a braid in , where is the braid group on 3 strings and are the standard Artin generators. We use Gauss diagram formulas to show that f…
