We construct some positive entropy automorphisms of rational surfaces with no periodic curves. The surfaces in question, which we term tri-Coble surfaces, are blow-ups of the projective plane at 12 points which have contractions down to three different Coble surfaces. The automorphisms arise as compositions of lifts of Bertini involutions from certain degree 1 weak del Pezzo surfaces.

For negative-torsion maps on the annulus we show that on every $mathcal{C}^1$ essential curve there is at least one point of zero torsion. As an outcome, we deduce that the Hausdorff dimension of the set of points of zero torsion is greater or equal 1. As a byproduct, we obtain a Birkhoff's-theorem-like result for $mathcal{C}^1$ essential curves in the framework of negative-torsion maps.

For a fixed frequency vector $omega in mathbb{R}^2 , setminus , lbrace 0 rbrace$ obeying $omega_1 omega_2 < 0$ we show the existence of Gevrey-smooth Hamiltonians, arbitrarily close to an integrable Kolmogorov non-degenerate analytic Hamiltonian, having a Lyapunov unstable elliptic equilibrium with frequency $omega$. In particular, the elliptic fixed points thus constructed will be KAM stable, i.e. accumulated by invariant tori whose Lebesgue density tend to one in the neighbourhood of the point and whose frequencies cover a set of positive measure. Similar examples for near-integrable Hamiltonians in action-angle coordinates in the neighbourhood of a Lagragian invariant torus with arbitrary rotation vector are also given in this work.

We study the regularity of a conjugacy between an Anosov automorphism $L$ of a nilmanifold $N/Gamma$ and a volume-preserving, $C^1$-small perturbation $f$. We say that $L$ is locally Lyapunov spectrum rigid if this conjugacy is $C^{1+}$ whenever $f$ is $C^{1+}$ and has the same volume Lyapunov spectrum as $L$. For $L$ with simple spectrum, we show that local Lyapunov spectrum rigidity is equivalent to $L$ satisfying both an irreducibility condition and an ordering condition on its Lyapunov exponents.
