Under some suitable assumptions Riemannian manifolds $(M, g, H)$ that admit a connection $\hat\nabla$ with torsion a 3-form $H$, which is both closed $d H=0$ and $\hat\nabla$-covariantly constant, are locally isometric to a product $N\times…
We consider a gradient flow associated to the mean field equation on $(M,g)$ a compact riemanniann surface without boundary. We prove that this flow exists for all time. Moreover, letting $G$ be a group of isometry acting on $(M,g)$, we…
We study the existence of closed geodesics on compact Riemannian orbifolds, and on noncompact Riemannian manifolds in the presence of a cocompact, isometric group action. We show that every noncontractible Riemannian manifold which admits…
Let (M,\omega) be a symplectic manifold, and Sigma a compact Riemann surface. We define a 2-form on the space of immersed symplectic surfaces in M, and show that the form is closed and non-degenerate, up to reparametrizations. Then we give…
We prove that for a broad class of exact symplectic manifolds including ${\mathbb R}^{2m}$ the Hamiltonian flow on a regular compact energy level of an autonomous Hamiltonian cannot be uniquely ergodic. This is a consequence of the…
If $(M,g)$ is a compact Riemannian surface then the integrals of $L^2(M)$-normalized eigenfunctions $e_j$ over geodesic segments of fixed length are uniformly bounded. Also, if $(M,g)$ has negative curvature and $\gamma(t)$ is a geodesic…
In this paper we study the geometry and topology of compact Riemannian manifolds $(M,g)$ with boundary having the property that every geodesic that starts orthogonally to $\partial M$ also arrives orthogonally to the boundary.
We show that for any co-amenable compact quantum group A=C(G) there exists a unique compact Hausdorff topology on the set EA of isomorphism classes of ergodic actions of G such that the following holds: for any continuous field of ergodic…
We prove a quantum ergodicity theorem for sequences of closed hyperbolic surfaces converging to the Poincar\'e disc in the Benjamini-Schramm sense. Assuming a uniform lower bound on the injectivity radius and a spectral gap, we establish…
Let $M$ be a closed, orientable hyperbolic 3-manifold and $\phi$ a homomorphism of its fundamental group onto $\mathbb{Z}$ that is not induced by a fibration over the circle. For each natural number $n$ we give an explicit lower bound,…
We define for each g>=2 and k>=0 a set M_{g,k} of orientable hyperbolic 3-manifolds with $k$ toric cusps and a connected totally geodesic boundary of genus g. Manifolds in M_{g,k} have Matveev complexity g+k and Heegaard genus g+1, and…
In this paper we examine the relationship between the length spectrum and the geometric genus spectrum of an arithmetic hyperbolic 3-orbifold M. In particular we analyze the extent to which the geometry of M is determined by the closed…
A Riemann surface $X$ is parabolic if and only if the geodesic flow (for the hyperbolic metric) on the unit tangent bundle of $X$ is ergodic. Consider a Riemann surface $X$ with a single topological end and a sequence $\alpha_n$ of pairwise…
We investigate the ergodicity of 2D large scale quasigeostrophic flows under random wind forcing. We show that the quasigeostrophic flows are ergodic under suitable conditions on the random forcing and on the fluid domain, and under no…
We say that a PDE in a Riemannian manifold $M$ is geometric if,$\ $whenever $u$ is a solution of the PDE on a domain $\Omega$ of $M$, the composition $u_{\phi}:=u\circ\phi$ is also solution on $\phi^{-1}\left( \Omega\right) $, for any…
Let M be a complete simply connected Riemannian manifold, with sectional curvature K bounded above by -1. Under some assumptions on the geometry of the boundary of M, which are satisfied for instance if M is a symmetric space, or has…
In a recent paper, Chen, Erchenko and Gogolev have proven that if a Riemannian manifold with boundary has hyperbolic geodesic trapped set, then it can be embedded into a compact manifold whose geodesic flow is Anosov. They have to introduce…
The consideration of the so-called rotation minimizing frames allows for a simple and elegant characterization of plane and spherical curves in Euclidean space via a linear equation relating the coefficients that dictate the frame motion.…
Let $(M, g)$ be a complete Riemannian manifold without focal points and curvature bounded below. We prove that when the average of the sectional curvature in tangent planes along geodesics is negative and uniformly away from zero, then the…
This article contains a generalization of the authors' results on numbers of nodal points of eigenfunctions on "good curves" in analytic plane domains (arXiv:0710.0101). The term `good' means that the $L^2$ norms of restrictions of…
