We study the critical set C of the nonlinear differential operator F(u) = -u" + f(u) defined on a Sobolev space of periodic functions H^p(S^1), p >= 1. Let R^2_{xy} \subset R^3 be the plane z = 0 and, for n > 0, let cone_n be the cone x^2 +…

We consider a 2D Pauli operator with almost periodic field $b$ and electric potential $V$. First, we study the ergodic properties of $H$ and show, in particular, that its discrete spectrum is empty if there exists an almost periodic…

In the 1930s, H. Hopf conjectured that a closed, even-dimensional manifold of positive sectional curvature has positive Euler characteristic. We show this under the additional assumption of an isometric $T^4$-action on the manifold,…

We construct stable periodic solutions for a simple form nonlinear delay differential equation (DDE) with a periodic coefficient. The equation involves one underlying nonlinearity with the multiplicative periodic coefficient. The well-known…

We consider the fractional unforced Burgers equation in the one-dimensional space-periodic setting: $$\partial u/\partial t+(f(u))_x +\nu \Lambda^{\alpha} u= 0, t \geq 0,\ \mathbb{x} \in \mathbb{T}^d=(\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z})^d.$$ Here $f$ is…

We construct a deformed Morse complex computing the equivariant cohomology of a manifold M endowed with a smooth S^1-action. The deformation of the coboundary operator is given by counting gradient flow lines of a Morse function f that are…

The notion of B-convexity for operator spaces, which a priori depends on a set of parameters indexed by $\Sigma$, is defined. Some of the classical characterizations of this geometric notion for Banach spaces are studied in this new…

The $b$-family of Camassa-Holm ($b$-CH) equation is a one-parameter family of PDEs, which includes the completely integrable Camassa-Holm and Degasperis-Procesi equations but possesses different Hamiltonian structures. Motivated by this, we…
