A sectional-Anosov flow on a manifold M is a C^1 vector field inwardly transverse to the boundary for which the maximal invariant is sectional-hyperbolic. We prove that every attractor of every vector field C^1 close to a transitive…

We prove the following dichotomy for vector fields in a C1-residual subset of volume-preserving flows: for Lebesgue almost every point all Lyapunov exponents equal to zero or its orbit has a dominated splitting. As a consequence if we have…

We establish a new criterion for the existence of a global cross section to a non-singular volume-preserving flow on a compact manifold. Namely, if $\Phi$ is a non-singular smooth flow on a compact, connected manifold $M$ with a smooth…

Pinched flow fractionation is shown to be an efficient and selective way to quickly separate particles by size in a very polydisperse semi-concentrated suspension. In an effort to optimize the method, we discuss the quantitative influence…

We introduce a new version of expansiveness for flows. Let $M$ be a compact Riemannian manifold without boundary and $X$ be a $C^1$ vector field on $M$ that generates a flow $\varphi_t$ on $M$. We call $X$ {\it rescaling expansive} on a…

In this note, we study the problem of uniqueness of Ricci flow on complete noncompact manifolds. We consider the class of solutions with curvature bounded above by C/t when t > 0. In paricular, we proved uniqueness if in addition the…

We show that solutions to certain higher-order intrinsic geometric flows on a compact manifold, including some flows generated by the ambient obstruction tensor, are unique. With the goal of providing a complete self-contained proof,…

We show that the metric entropy of a $C^1$ diffeomorphism with a dominated splitting and the dominating bundle uniformly expanding is bounded from above by the integrated volume growth of the dominating (expanding) bundle plus the maximal…

Impulsive dynamical systems, modeled by a continuous semiflow and an impulse function, may be discontinuous and may have non-intuitive topological properties, as the non-invariance of the non-wandering set or the non-existence of invariant…

We consider smooth flows preserving a smooth invariant measure, or, equivalently, locally Hamiltonian flows on compact orientable surfaces and show that, when the genus of the surface is two, almost every such locally Hamiltonian flow with…

Stability of inviscid shear shallow water flows with free surface is studied in the framework of the Benney equations. This is done by investigating the generalized hyperbolicity of the integrodifferential Benney system of equations. It is…

A key feature of a general nonlinear partially hyperbolic dynamical system is the absence of differentiability of its invariant splitting. In this paper, we show that often partial derivatives of the splitting exist and the splitting…

We provide a new approach to stable ergodicity of systems with dominated splittings, based on a geometrical analysis of global stable and unstable manifolds of hyperbolic points. Our method suggests that the lack of uniform size of Pesin's…

We provide sufficient conditions on a positive function so that its associated special flow over any irrational rotation is either weak mixing or $L^2$-conjugate to a suspension flow.

We consider bifurcation of solutions from a given trivial branch for a class of strongly indefinite elliptic systems via the spectral flow. Our main results establish bifurcation invariants that can be obtained from the coefficients of the…

The aim of this paper is to study dynamical and topological properties of a flow in the region of influence of an isolated non-saddle set. We see, in particular, that some topological conditions are sufficient to guarantee that these sets…

In this article we prove a necessary and a sufficient condition for a finite subset of the special linear group to be dominated. These conditions are purely geometric in nature, as they only involve the trace and the eigenvectors of the…

We study the dynamics of quantized superfluid vortices on axisymmetric compact surfaces with no holes, where the total vortex charge must vanish and the condition of irrotational flow forbids distributed vorticity. A conformal…

Over the last 10 years or so, advanced statistical properties, including exponential decay of correlations, have been established for certain classes of singular hyperbolic flows in three dimensions. The results apply in particular to the…

In this article, we relate the dynamics of a flow $(X, T)$ with the dynamics of the induced flow $(E(X), T)$ where $E(X)$ is the enveloping semigroup of flow $(X, T)$. We establish that a flow $(X, T)$ is distal if and only if the induced…
