We investigate the orientability of a class of vector bundles over flag manifolds of real semi-simple Lie groups, which include the tangent bundle and also stable bundles of certain gradient flows. Closed formulas, in terms of roots, are…

In this note we make use of some properties of vector fields on a manifold to give an alternate proof to [3] for the equivalence between connections and parallel transport on vector bundles over manifolds. Out of the proof will emerge a new…

Steady fluid flows have very special topology. In this paper we describe necessary and sufficient conditions on the vorticity function of a 2D ideal flow on a surface with or without boundary, for which there exists a steady flow among…

Non-smooth vector fields does not have necessarily the property of uniqueness of solution passing through a point and this is responsible to enrich the behavior of the system. Even on the plane non-smooth vector fields can be chaotic, a…

We consider possible generation of singularities of a vector field transported by diffeomorphisms with derivatives of uniformly bounded determinants. A particular case of volume preserving diffeomrphism is the most important, since it has…

In order to utilize the full potential of tailored flows of electromagnetic energy at the nanoscale, we need to understand its general behaviour given by its generic representation of interfering random waves. For applications in on-chip…

We discuss various old and new definitions of the notion of a vector field on a convenient manifold that can be proved to give rise to Lie algebras, and are in finite dimensions equivalent to the standard notion of a vector field.

In this work we study the existence of singular flows satisfying shadowing-like properties. More precisely, we prove that if C1 -vector field on a closed manifold induces a chain-recurrent flow containing an attached hyperbolic singularity…

Assuming a-priori a smooth generating vector field, we introduce a generally covariant measure of the flow geometry called the referential gradient of the flow. The main result is the explicit relation between the referential gradient and…
