Is there an expansive homeo of $\mathbb S^2$?

(Handel) If there exists a cross section for for all minimal sets of a flow, then there exist a global cross-section.

Which surfaces and which homotopy classes of homeos admit expansive homeos? distal homeos?

When are suspensions of $R_\alpha $ and $R_\beta$ under bounded functions isomorphic?

This problem isn’t legible.

Does minimal or uniquely ergodic for a diffeo $f$ implies $h(f) = 0$ (try homeo case too)? Is there a minimal diffeo homotopic to $\left( \begin{matrix} 2 & 1\\\ 1& 1 \end{matrix} \right) \times Id. $ on $\mathbb T^3$? (Seifert conjecture) Minimal flow on $\mathbb S^3$.

Suppose $ F: C \to \mathbb{R}, C$ the Cantor set, has bounded total variation. Is there a homeo $g : [0,1] \to [0,1]$ and a diffeo (Lipschitz, maybe) $f:[0,1] \to \mathbb{R}$ such that \[ F = f\circ g |C.\]

Continuous systems in statistical mechanics. Is there a topological dynamics formulation?

Homogenous dynamics Implications among unique ergodicity minimality entropy zero plus ergodicity Simple or semi-simple case Which one-parameter subgroups are unstable/stable foliations for some ergodic affine? Try a). Relate dynamical properties to representations of the group. K-property implies Bernoull? Weak mixing plus center s.s. implies Bernoulli?
