Monomial orderings and universal Groebner bases
The Groebner bases introduced by Buchberger give us a canonical representation of ideals in the ring of polynomials. A Groebner basis is defined if an admissible monomial ordering is given. Nevertheless this monomial ordering used for the construction of Groebner base is not very important for many concrete problems solved by Groebner bases technique. We describe a construction of a universal base which uses only the natural partial ordering defined by usual monomial division. Also a topology on the set of all admissible monomial orderings will be defined. We prove that this set is equivalent to the Cantor set and deduce some algebraic consequences of this fact.

Integrable nonholonomic flows with positive topological entropy
We present a non-holonomic generalization of examples due to Bolsinov and Taimanov, where integrable Riemannian metrics with chaotic behaviour were constructued. We discuss properties of topological entropy in the non-compact case and also integrability of Carnot-Caratheodory metrics. The obtained metrics are the first examples of non-holonomic systems, which are smoothly integrable, but not integrable with polynomial by momenta integrals.
