A new important relation between fluid mechanics and differential geometry is established. We study smooth steady solutions to the Euler equations with the additional property: the velocity vector is orthogonal to the gradient of the…

Let $M$ be a smooth compact surface of nonpositive curvature, with genus $\geq 2$. We prove the ergodicity of the geodesic flow on the unit tangent bundle of $M$ with respect to the Liouville measure under the condition that the set of…

We introduce Gaussian-type measures on the manifold of all metrics with a fixed volume form on a compact Riemannian manifold of dimension $\geq 3$. For this random model we compute the characteristic function for the $L^2$ (Ebin) distance…

We study the $u$-Gibbs measures of a certain class of uniformly hyperbolic skew products on $\mathbb{T}^4$. These systems have a strong unstable and a weak unstable directions. We show that $C^r$-dense and $C^2$-open in this set every…

These expository notes present a proof of the Stable/Unstable Manifold Theorem (also known as the Hadamard--Perron Theorem). They also give examples of hyperbolic dynamics: geodesic flows on surfaces of negative curvature and dispersing…

We study the entropy production of Gibbs (equilibrium) measures for chaotic dynamical systems with folding of the phase space. The dynamical chaotic model is that generated by a hyperbolic non-invertible map $f$ on a general basic (possibly…

We discuss the $(1+1)$-dimensional wave maps equation with values in a compact Lie group. The corresponding Gibbs measure is given by a Brownian motion on the Lie group, which plays a central role in stochastic geometry. Our main theorem is…

It is argued that a Gibbsian formula for the space-time distribution of microscopic trajectories of a nonequilibrium system provides a unifying framework for recent results on the fluctuations of the entropy production. The variable entropy…

Let $\Gamma$ be a non-elementary Gromov-hyperbolic group, and $\partial \Gamma$ denote its Gromov boundary. We consider $\Gamma$-invariant proper $\delta$-hyperbolic, quasi-convex metric $d$ on $\Gamma$, and the associated…

Statistical thermodynamics is valuable as a conceptual structure that shapes our thinking about equilibrium thermodynamic states. A cloud of unresolved questions surrounding the foundations of the theory could lead an impartial observer to…

We give a new construction of the measure of maximal entropy for transitive Anosov flows through a method analogous to the construction of Patterson-Sullivan measures in negative curvature. In order to carry out our procedure we prove…

We formulate and prove a very general relative version of the Dobrushin-Lanford-Ruelle theorem which gives conditions on constraints of configuration spaces over a finite alphabet such that for every absolutely summable relative…

We employ the ergodic theoretic machinery of scenery flows to address classical geometric measure theoretic problems on Euclidean spaces. Our main results include a sharp version of the conical density theorem, which we show to be closely…

We consider a gas whose each particle is characterised by a pair $(x,v_x)$ with the position $x\in \mathbb R^d$ and the velocity $v_x\in \mathbb R^d_0= \mathbb R^d\setminus \{0\}$. We define Gibbs measures on the cone of vector-valued…

In this paper, we conduct a comprehensive study on ergodic properties of the geodesic flow on a $C^\infty$ uniform visibility manifold $M$ without conjugate points. If $M$ is a closed surface of genus at least two without conjugate points,…

In this paper we consider a Bayesian framework for making inferences about dynamical systems from ergodic observations. The proposed Bayesian procedure is based on the Gibbs posterior, a decision theoretic generalization of standard…

In this work, we use the Ricci flow approach to study the gap phenomenon of Riemannian manifolds with non-negative curvature and sub-critical scaling invariant curvature decay. The first main result is a quantitative Ricci flow existence…

Ricci and sectional curvatures of twisted flux tubes in Riemannian manifold are computed to investigate the stability of the tubes. The geodesic equations are used to show that in the case of thick tubes, the curvature of planar (Frenet…

In this note, we survey recent advances in the study of dynamical properties of the space of surfaces with constant curvature in three-dimensional manifolds of negative sectional curvature. We interpret this space as a two-dimensional…
