We study an effective spectral deformation flow for mode amplitudes $C_n(\tau)$, governed by a second-order self-adjoint operator $\hat{C}$ on a compact interval. The flow is encoded in the multi-function $C(v,\tau,n)$ and exhibits global…

We introduce the notion of the joint spectral flow, which is a generalization of the spectral flow, by using Segal's model of the connective $K$-theory spectrum. We apply it for some localization results of indices motivated by Witten's…

Homological equations of tensor type associated to periodic flows on a manifold are studied. The Cushman intrinsic formula is generalized to the case of multivector fields and differential forms. Some applications to normal forms and the…

The dynamic spectra of pulsars frequently exhibit diverse interference patterns, often associated with parabolic arcs in the Fourier-transformed (secondary) spectra. Our approach differs from previous ones in two ways: first, we extend…

The aim of this article is to show how certain parabolic theorems follow from their elliptic counterparts. This technique is demonstrated through new proofs of five important theorems in parabolic unique continuation and the regularity…

Flows on the moduli space of the algebraic Riemann surfaces, preserving the periods of the corresponding solutions of the soliton equations are studied. We show that these flows are gradient with respect to some indefinite symmetric flat…
