We endow the set of persistence diagrams with the strong topology (the topology of countable direct limit of increasing sequence of bounded subsets considered in the bottleneck distance). The topology of the obtained space is described.…

We construct finite-dimensional invariant manifolds in the phase space of the Navier-Stokes equation on R^2 and show that these manifolds control the long-time behavior of the solutions. This gives geometric insight into the existing…

We consider the Suslov problem of nonholonomic rigid body motion with inhomogeneous constraints. We show that if the direction along which the Suslov constraint is enforced is perpendicular to a principal axis of inertia of the body, then…

First we prove a general spectral theorem for the linear Navier-Stokes (NS) operator in both 2D and 3D. The spectral theorem says that the spectrum consists of only eigenvalues which lie in a parabolic region, and the eigenfunctions (and…

We are concerned with the well-posedness of linear elliptic systems posed on $\mathbb{R}^d$. The concrete problem of interest, for which we require this theory, arises from the linearization of the equations of anisotropic finite…

This paper is divided in two parts. In the first part, the inverse spectral problem for tight-binding hamiltonians is studied. This problem is shown to have an infinite number of solutions for properly chosen energies. The space of such…

This paper is devoted to the study of the nonlinear instability of shear layers and of Prandtl's boundary layers, for the incompressible Navier Stokes equations. We prove that generic shear layers are nonlinearly unstable provided the…

Over the past decade, the edge of chaos has proven to be a fruitful starting point for investigations of shear flows when the laminar base flow is linearly stable. Numerous computational studies of shear flows demonstrated the existence of…

We show that a variation of Milnor's $\bar\mu$-invariants, the so-called Campbell-Hausdorff invariants introduced recently by Stefan Papadima, are of finite type with respect to {\it marked singular links}. These link invariants are…

It has long been suspected that flows of incompressible fluids at large or infinite Reynolds number (namely at small or zero viscosity) may present finite time singularities. We review briefly the theoretical situation on this point. We…

In 1959, Kolmogorov proposed to study the instability of the shear flow $(\sin(y),0)$ in the vanishing viscosity regime in tori $\mathbb{T}_{\alpha}\times \mathbb{T}$. This question was later resolved by Meshalkin and Sinai. We extend the…

We consider the inverse problem of recovering a potential from the Dirichlet to Neumann map at a large fixed frequency on certain Riemannian manifolds. We extend the earlier result of [G. Uhlmann and Y. Wang, arXiv:2104.03477] to the case…

We consider a construction proposed in \cite{acharyaQAM} that builds on the notion of weak solutions for incompressible fluids to provide a scheme that generates variationally a certain type of dual solutions. If these dual solutions are…

The altenating knots, links and twists projected on the S_2 sphere are identified with the phase Space of a Hamiltonian dynamic system of one degree of freedom. The saddles of the system correspond to the crossing points, the edges, to the…

We present a general result of transverse nonlinear instability of 1-d solitary waves for Hamiltonian PDE's for both periodic or localized transverse perturbations. Our main structural assumption is that the linear part of the 1d model and…

We prove that the negative resonances of the Chazy equation (in thesense of Painlev\'e analysis) can be related directly to it sgroup-invariance properties. These resonances indicate in this case the instability of pole singularities.…

The Vassiliev-Gusarov link invariants of finite type are known to be closely related to perturbation theory for Chern-Simons theory. In order to clarify the perturbative nature of such link invariants, we introduce an algebra V_infinity…

We construct an ensemble of two-dimensional nonintegrable quantum circuits that are chaotic but have a conserved particle current, and thus a finite Drude weight. The long-wavelength hydrodynamics of such systems is given by the…

We study Vassiliev invariants of links in a 3-manifold $M$ by using chord diagrams labeled by elements of the fundamental group of $M$. We construct universal Vassiliev invariants of links in $M$, where $M=P^2\times [0,1]$ is a cylinder…

Systems such as fluid flows in channels and pipes or the complex Ginzburg-Landau system, defined over periodic domains, exhibit both continuous symmetries, translational and rotational, as well as discrete symmetries under spatial…
