We call a dynamical system on a measurable metric space measureexpansive if the probability of two orbits remain close each other for all time is negligible (i.e. zero). We extend results of expansive systems on compact metric spaces to the measure-expansive context. For instance, the measureexpansive homeomorphisms are characterized as those homeomorphisms f for which the diagonal is almost in...

This paper first studies the regularity of conformal homeomorphisms on smooth locally embeddable strongly pseudoconvex CR manifolds. Then moduli of curve families are used to estimate the maximal dilatations of quasiconformal homeomorphisms. On certain CR 3-manifolds, namely, CR circle bundles over flat tori, extremal quasiconformal homeomorphisms in some homotopy classes are constructed. These...

Let M be a compact manifold, possibly with boundary. We show that the group of homeomorphisms of M has the automatic continuity property : any homomorphism from Homeo(M) to any separable group is necessarily continuous. This answers a question of C. Rosendal. If N ⊂ M is a submanifold, the group of homeomorphisms of M that preserve N also has this property. Various applications of automatic con...

We compute the generalized Lefschetz number of orientation-preserving selfhomeomorphisms of a compact punctured disk, using the fact that homotopy classes of these homeomorphisms can be identified with braids. This result is applied to study Nielsen-Thurston canonical homeomorphisms on a punctured disk. We determine, for a certain class of braids, the rotation number of the corresponding canoni...

On subsets of the Mandelbrot set, EM ⊂M, homeomorphisms are constructed by quasi-conformal surgery. When the dynamics of quadratic polynomials is changed piecewise by a combinatorial construction, a general theorem yields the corresponding homeomorphism h : EM → EM in the parameter plane. Each h has two fixed points in EM , and a countable family of mutually homeomorphic fundamental domains. Po...

In this paper we introduce a new class of closed maps namely g#s-closed also homeomorphisms called g#s*-homeomorphisms and prove that the set all form group under operation composition maps.

background: taking visual acuity is an important part of an eye routine examination. this study was conducted to compare visual acuity measured using an iranian digital tumbling e chart with visual acuity measured using an italian digital tumbling e chart as a familiar foreign chart. materials and methods: this study was carried out on 200 participants (400 eyes; healthy n=40, glaucoma n=40, re...
