Colloidal particles that are confined to an interface effectively form a two-dimensional fluid. We examine the dynamics of such colloids when they are subject to a constant external force, which drives them in a particular direction over…
Diffusions are a successful technique to sample from high-dimensional distributions. The target distribution can be either explicitly given or learnt from a collection of samples. They implement a diffusion process whose endpoint is a…
This paper introduces a notion of decompositions of integral varifolds into countably many integral varifolds, and the existence of such decomposition of integral varifolds whose first variation is representable by integration is…
Divergence functions are measures of distance or dissimilarity between probability distributions that serve various purposes in statistics and applications. We propose decompositions of Wasserstein and Cram\'er distances$-$which compare two…
In this paper, we introduce the notion of dynamical coherence for a partially hyperbolic flow $(\varphi^t)$ on a smooth compact manifold $M$, and prove it under the assumption that there exists a compact foliation with trivial holonomy…
We show that every sheaf on the site of smooth manifolds with values in a stable (infinity,1)-category (like spectra or chain complexes) gives rise to a differential cohomology diagram and a homotopy formula, which are common features of…
We propose a new unfitted finite element method for simulation of two-phase flows in presence of insoluble surfactant. The key features of the method are 1) discrete conservation of surfactant mass; 2) the possibility of having meshes that…

Random invariant manifolds are geometric objects useful for understanding complex dynamics under stochastic influences. Under a nonuniform hyperbolicity or a nonuniform exponential dichotomy condition, the existence of random pseudo-stable…
Let $(M,g)$ be a Riemannian manifold, $L(M)$ be its frame bundle, $O(M)$ its orthonormal frame bundle. For a distribution $D$ on $M$ we define a subbundle $L(D)\subset L(M)$ or $O(D)\subset O(M)$ in a natural way. This allows us to consider…
Stochastic features of decay of a metastable phase have been investigated with the help of a new monodisperse approximation. This approximation is more precise than the already used one and namely it allows to give a very simple but rather…
We show that any stochastic differential equation with prescribed time-dependent marginal distributions admits a decomposition into three components: a unique scalar field governing marginal evolution, a symmetric positive-semidefinite…
A two-dimensional bidisperse granular fluid is shown to exhibit pronounced long-ranged dynamical heterogeneities as dynamical arrest is approached. Here we focus on the most direct approach to study these heterogeneities: we identify…
In the authors's previous work on symmetric differentials and their connection to the topological properties of the ambient manifold, a class of symmetric differentials was introduced: closed symmetric differentials ([BoDeO11] and…
In this paper we propose Discretely Indexed flows (DIF) as a new tool for solving variational estimation problems. Roughly speaking, DIF are built as an extension of Normalizing Flows (NF), in which the deterministic transport becomes…
We provide an explicit rigorous derivation of a diffusion limit - a stochastic differential equation with additive noise - from a deterministic skew-product flow. This flow is assumed to exhibit time-scale separation and has the form of a…
We prove existence of a stochastic flow of diffeomorphisms generated by SDEs with drift in $L^q_t C^{0, \alpha}_x$ for any $q \in [2, \infty)$ and $\alpha \in (0, 1)$. This result is achieved using a Zvonkin-type transformation for the SDE.…
The two-fold singularity has played a significant role in our understanding of uniqueness and stability in piecewise smooth dynamical systems. When a vector field is discontinuous at some hypersurface, it can become tangent to that surface…
The famous flow decomposition theorem of Gallai (1985) states that any static edge $s$,$d$-flow in a directed graph can be decomposed into a nonnegative linear combination of incidence vectors of paths and cycles. In this paper, we study…
We consider a family of fragmentation processes where the rate at which a particle splits is proportional to a function of its mass. Let $F\_{1}^{(m)}(t),F\_{2}^{(m)}(t),...$ denote the decreasing rearrangement of the masses present at time…
