We introduce a combinatorial curvature flow for PL metrics on compact triangulated 3-manifolds with boundary consisting of surfaces of negative Euler characteristic. The flow tends to find the complete hyperbolic metric with totally…
We show that a complete contractible 3-manifold with positive scalar curvature and bounded geometry must be $\mathbb R^3$. We also show that an open handlebody of genus larger than 1 does not admit complete metrics with positive scalar…
Let $(M,g)$ be a closed connected oriented (possibly non-spin) smooth four-dimensional manifold with scalar curvature bounded below by $n(n-1)$. In this paper, we prove that if $f$ is a smooth map of non-zero degree from $(M, g)$ to the…
For a closed oriented 3-manifold $Y$ we define $n(Y)$ to be the minimal non-negative number such that in each homotopy class of non-singular vector fields of $Y$ there is a Morse-Smale vector field with less or equal to $n(Y)$ periodic…
We show that fundamental groups of compact, orientable, irreducible 3-manifolds with toroidal boundary are Grothendieck rigid.
Let $(M, \partial M)$ be a compact 3-manifold with boundary, which admits a convex co-compact hyperbolic metric. We consider the hyperbolic metrics on $M$ such that the boundary is smooth and strictly convex. We show that the induced…
We study joining rigidity in the class of von Neumann flows with one singularity. They are given by a smooth vector field $\mathcal{X}$ on $\mathbb T^2\setminus \{a\}$, where $\mathcal{X}$ is not defined at $a\in \mathbb T^2$. It follows…
Consider the set $\chi^0_{\mathrm{nw}}$ of non-wandering continuous flows on a closed surface. Then such a flow can be approximated by regular non-wandering flows without heteroclinic connections nor locally dense orbits in…
Let $\{T^t\}$ be a smooth flow with positive speed and positive topological entropy on a compact smooth three dimensional manifold, and let $\mu$ be an ergodic measure of maximal entropy. We show that either $\{T^t\}$ is Bernoulli, or…
We define a parabolic flow of pluriclosed metrics. This flow is of the same family introduced by the authors in \cite{ST}. We study the relationship of the existence of the flow and associated static metrics topological information on the…
We define a new geometric flow, which we shall call the $K$-flow, on 3-dimensional Riemannian manifolds; and study the behavior of Thurston's model geometries under this flow both analytically and numerically. As an example, we show that an…
We consider a Morse function $f$ and a Morse-Smale gradient-like vector field $X$ on a compact connected oriented 3-manifold $M$ such that $f$ has only one critical point of index 3. Based on Laudenbach's ideas, we will show that the flow…
The paper presents 3D numerical results for the laminar liquid metal flow in a rectangular duct compared with experimental results. It is shown that the magnetic interaction parameter $N$ is the main parameter governing the flow provided…
We consider two transitive $3$-dimensional Anosov flows which do not preserve volume and which are continuously conjugate to each other. Then, disregarding certain exceptional cases, such as flows with $C^1$ regular stable or unstable…
We show that the metric of nonpositively curved graph manifolds is determined by its geodesic flow. More precisely we show that if the geodesic flows of two nonpositively curved graph manifolds are $C^0$ conjugate then the spaces are…
We introduce a notion of strong closing property of contact forms, inspired by the $C^\infty$ closing lemma for Reeb flows in dimension three. We then prove a sufficient criterion for strong closing property, which is formulated by…
We show that an orientable 3-dimensional manifold M admits a complete riemannian metric of bounded geometry and uniformly pos- itive scalar curvature if and only if there exists a finite collection F of spherical space-forms such that M is…
We show a rigidity result for 3-dimensional contact Axiom A flows: given two 3D contact Axiom A flows $\Phi_1,\Phi_2$ whose restrictions $\Phi_1|_{\Lambda_1},\Phi_2|_{\Lambda_2}$ to basic sets $\Lambda_1,\Lambda_2$ are orbit equivalent, we…
We consider rigidity properties of steady Euler flows in two-dimensional bounded domains. We prove that steady Euler flows in a disk with exactly one interior stagnation point and tangential boundary conditions must be circular flows, which…
We give a geometric criterion that guaranteesa purely singular spectral type for a dynamical system on a Riemannian manifold. The criterion, that is based on the existence of fairly rich but localized periodic approximations, is compatible…
