This paper develops a family of Hofer-like metrics ($\dAnV{V}$) on the space of Anosov vector fields $\An(M)$, providing dynamically relevant distances based on the cost of deformation paths using $\Ck{k}$ or Sobolev $\SobolevHk{k}$ norms.…
We consider smooth flows preserving a smooth invariant measure, or, equivalently, locally Hamiltonian flows on compact orientable surfaces and show that almost every such locally Hamiltonian flow with only simple saddles has singular…
We are concerned with supersonic vortex sheets for the Euler equations of compressible inviscid fluids in two space dimensions. For the problem with constant coefficients, in [10] the authors have derived a pseudo-differential equation…
We prove that a Morse-Smale gradient-like flow on a closed manifold has a "system of compatible invariant stable foliations" that is analogous to the object introduced by Palis and Smale in their proof of the structural stability of…
The original proof has a gap, and need extra hypothesis that the strong stable and strong unstable filiation both to be $C^1$. The argument is like the following: with the regularity, one can show that the weak-stable and weak-unstable…
We study the notion of stochastic stability with respect to diffusive perturbations for flows with smooth invariant measures. We investigate the question fully for non-singular flows on the circle. We also show that volume-preserving flows…
The linear stability of buoyant parallel flow in a vertical porous layer with an annular cross-section is investigated. The vertical cylindrical boundaries are kept at different uniform temperatures and they are assumed to be impermeable.…
Zonal flows are well known to arise spontaneously out of turbulence. We show that for statistically averaged equations of the stochastically forced generalized Hasegawa-Mima model, steady-state zonal flows and inhomogeneous turbulence fit…
We propose a simple method to identify unstable parameter regions in general inviscid unidirectional shear flow stability problems. The theory is applicable to a wide range of basic flows, including those that are non-monotonic. We…
Linear stability of inviscid, parallel, and stably stratified shear flow is studied under the assumption of smooth strictly monotonic profiles of shear flow and density, so that the local Richardson number is positive everywhere. The…
We develop a stability theory for contractive local IFSs on compact metric spaces. Unlike the classical global setting, local systems may exhibit a richer symbolic and geometric structure, including code spaces that are not of finite type…
This paper studies characteristic exponents of flows in relation with the dynamics of flows on flag bundles. The starting point is a flow on a principal bundle with semi-simple group $G$. Projection against the Iwasawa decomposition $G =…
We study affine maps between affine manifolds. Even when the fibers are compact and diffeomorphic, two of them can inherit different affine structures from the source space. This leads to a fixed linear holonomy deformation theory of 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…

Finite-order invariants of knots in arbitrary 3-manifolds (including non-orientable ones) are constructed and studied by methods of the topology of discriminant sets. Obstructions to the integrability of admissible weight systems to…
We show that certain radially symmetric steady states of compressible viscous fluids in domains with inflow/outflow boundary conditions are unconditionally stable. This means that any not necessarily radially symmetric solution of the…
A pseudo-Anosov homeomorphism of a surface is a canonical representative of its mapping class. In this paper, we explain that a transitive pseudo-Anosov flow is similarly a canonical representative of its stable Hamiltonian class. It…
On a smooth compact Riemannian manifold without boundary, we construct a finite dimensional cohomological complex of currents that are invariant by an Axiom A flow verifying Smale's transversality assumptions. The cohomology of that complex…
In this text we (re)-tell the theory of pseudo-Anosov flows on 3-manifolds with the orbit space as the central character; via a streamlined framework called {\em Anosov-like group actions}. This brings a simplified and unified perspective,…
