We construct a new random probability measure on the sphere and on the unit interval which in both cases has a Gibbs structure with the relative entropy functional as Hamiltonian. It satisfies a quasi-invariance formula with respect to the…
This manuscript introduces novel approaches to three phenomena. First, we extend the algebraic formulation of kinetic theory within the contact framework by making explicit the gauge freedom, thereby obtaining a formulation in which the…
This survey focuses on strong closing lemmas in Hamiltonian dynamics that are proved using spectral invariants (also known as action selectors) in symplectic geometry. We review strong closing lemmas in low-dimensional Hamiltonian dynamics…
We use convex decomposition theory to (1) reprove the existence of a universally tight contact structure on every irreducible 3-manifold with nonempty boundary, and (2) prove that every toroidal 3-manifold carries infinitely many…
The main result of this paper is that any $3$-dimensional manifold with a finite group action is equivariantly, invertibly homology cobordant to a hyperbolic manifold; this result holds with suitable twisted coefficients as well. The…
We present a higher-dimensional version of the Poincar\'e-Birkhoff theorem which applies to Poincar\'e time maps of Hamiltonian systems. The maps under consideration are neither required to be close to the identity nor to have a monotone…
We show the Godbillon-Vey invariant arises as a `restricted Casimir' invariant for three-dimensional ideal fluids associated to a foliation. We compare to a finite-dimensional system, the rattleback, where analogous phenomena occur.
We introduce the concept of a "transitory" dynamical system---one whose time-dependence is confined to a compact interval---and show how to quantify transport between two-dimensional Lagrangian coherent structures for the Hamiltonian case.…
We consider the Dirichlet problem for a compressible two-fluid model in three dimensions, and obtain the global existence of weak solution with large initial data and independent adiabatic constants \Gamma,\gamma>=9/5. The pressure…
We consider a diffuse interface model describing a ternary system constituted by a conductive diblock copolymer and a homopolymer acting as solvent. The resulting dynamics is modeled by two Cahn--Hilliard--Oono equations for the copolymer…
Static disorder in a 3D crystal degrades the ideal ballistic dynamics until it produces a localized regime. This Metal-Insulator Transition is often preceded by coherent diffusion. By studying three paradigmatic 1D models, namely the…
In this work, we provide a global condition for contraction with respect to an invariant Riemannian metric on reductive homogeneous spaces. Using left-invariant frames, vector fields on the manifold are horizontally lifted to the ambient…
We present a general mechanistic model of mass diffusion for a composite sphere placed in a large ambient medium. The multi-layer problem is described by a system of diffusion equations coupled via interlayer boundary conditions such as…
Topology in photonics comes in two distinct flavors: global and local. Global topology considers invariants that are obtained by integrating over the energy band, whereas local topology considers defects, typically vortices, in the…
This paper is devoted to studying a notion of Bott integrability for Reeb flows on contact 3-manifolds. We show, in analogy with work of Fomenko-Zieschang on Hamiltonian flows in dimension 4, that Bott-integrable Reeb flows exist precisely…
We prove that certain non-exact magnetic Hamiltonian systems on products of closed hyperbolic surfaces and with a potential function of large oscillation admit non-constant contractible periodic solutions of energy below the Ma\~n\'e…
The chaotic diffusion for a family of Hamiltonian mappings whose angles diverge in the limit of vanishingly action is investigated by using the solution of the diffusion equation. The system is described by a two-dimensional mapping for the…
The subject of this article are magnetic geodesics on odd-dimensional spheres endowed with the round metric and with the magnetic potential given by the standard contact form. We compute the Ma\~n\'e's critical value of the system and show…
Periodic Hamiltonians on a three-dimensional (3-D) lattice with a spectral gap not only on the bulk but also on two edges at the common Fermi level are considered. By using K-theory applied for the quarter-plane Toeplitz extension, two…
A Riemann-Cartan manifold is a Riemannian manifold endowed with an affine connection which is compatible with the metric tensor. This affine connection is not necessarily torsion free. Under the assumption that the manifold is a homogeneous…
