Abstract

This research proposal embraces open problems within the following themes: (i) Transitive interval exchange transformations with flips; (ii) Structural stability of smooth vector fields on surfaces; (iii) Asymptotic stability of continuous vector fields. In theme (i), we propose to study the geometry of the connected components of the Rauzy graph for transitive interval exchange maps with flips defined on 4 subintervals; we hope to be able to generalizing this result for the case of n subintervals; Another open problem is to consider other kind of induction called bilateral induction. In theme (ii), we propose to build examples of quasiminimal flows persistent under Cr twist perturbations of the original vector field. In theme (iii), we are going to approach the existence of robust trapping regions for asymptotically stable continuous vector fields.This research proposal embraces open problems within the following themes: (i) Transitive interval exchange transformations with flips; (ii) Structural stability of smooth vector fields on surfaces; (iii) Asymptotic stability of continuous vector fields.
