We simulate the nonlocal Stokesian hydrodynamics of an elastic filament which is active due a permanent distribution of stresslets along its contour. A bending instability of an initially straight filament spontaneously breaks flow symmetry…
The local fiber orientation is a micro-structural feature crucial for the mechanical properties of parts made from fiber reinforced polymers. It can be determined from micro-computed tomography data and subsequent quantitative analysis of…
We consider an explicit model of a semiflexible filament moving in two dimensions on a gliding assay of motor proteins, which attach to and detach from filament segments stochastically, with a detachment rate that depends on the local load…
In dimensions greater than or equal to 3, the local structure of a singular holomorphic foliation conceals a globally defined foliation on the projective space of dimension one less. In this paper, we will discuss how the global dynamics of…
Direct comparison is made of the steady-sates and coarsening dynamics in a local system and its nonlocal generalization. The example system is the surface of a solid film in a strong electric field; the morphological evolution of the…
Topological dynamics constitutes the study of asymptotic properties of orbits under flows or maps on the Hausdorff phase space. Hyperbolic dynamics is the study of differentiable flows or maps that are usually characterized by the presence…
We study the Bernoulli property for skew products with hyperbolic diffeomorphisms equipped with a Gibbs measure in the base and Kochergin flows in the fiber, when the cocycle is aperiodic and of zero mean. The flow in the fiber can be…
For a smooth map $f:X^4\to\Sigma^2$ that is locally modeled by holomorphic maps, the domain is shown to admit a symplectic structure that is symplectic on some regular fiber, if and only if $f^*[\Sigma]\ne0$. If so, the space of symplectic…

The motion of flexible fibers through structured fluidic environments is ubiquitous in nature and industrial applications. Most often, their dynamics results from the complex interplay between internal elastic stresses, contact forces and…
Two dimensional free surface flows in Hele-Shaw configurations are a fertile ground for exploring nonlinear physics. Since Saffman and Taylor's work on linear instability of fluid--fluid interfaces, significant effort has been expended to…
We study slopes of finite cyclic covering fibrations of a fibered surface. We give the best possible lower bound of the slope of these fibrations. We also give the slope equality of finite cyclic covering fibrations of a ruled surface and…
In a recent paper we studied general properties of super-KMS functionals on graded quantum dynamical systems coming from graded translation-covariant quantum field nets over R, and we carried out a detailed analysis of these objects on…
Invariant foliations are geometric structures for describing and understanding the qualitative behaviors of nonlinear dynamical systems. For stochastic dynamical systems, however, these geometric structures themselves are complicated random…
In this paper we prove that given a non-isotrivial family of hyperbolic curves in positive characteristic, the isomorphism type of the geometric fundamental group is not constant on the fibres of the family.
Heterodimensional cycles are heteroclinic cycles that connect periodic orbits whose unstable manifolds have different dimensions. This is a source of nonhyperbolic dynamics and unstable dimension variability. For smooth invertible maps…
In this paper, we deal with random attractors for dynamical systems forced by a deterministic noise. These kind of systems are modeled as skew products where the dynamics of the forcing process are described by the base transformation.…
We numerically study the interplay between heterogeneous dynamics and properties of negatively curved regions of the potential energy surface in a model glassy system. We find that the unstable modes of saddles and quasi-saddles undergo a…
