We combine Gromov's amenable localization technique with the Poincar\'{e} duality to study the traversally generic vector flows on smooth compact manifolds $X$ with boundary. Such flows generate well-understood stratifications of $X$ by the…
As has been observed by Morse \cite{Mo}, any generic vector field $v$ on a compact smooth manifold $X$ with boundary gives rise to a stratification of the boundary $\d X$ by compact submanifolds $\{\d_j^\pm X(v)\}_{1 \leq j \leq \dim(X)}$,…
We study {\sf traversing} vector flows $v$ on smooth compact manifolds $X$ with boundary. For a given compact manifold $\hat X$, equipped with a traversing vector field $\hat v$ which is {\sf convex} with respect to $\partial\hat X$, we…
We study smooth {\sf traversing} vector fields $v$ on compact manifolds $X$ with boundary. A traversing $v$ admits a Lyapunov function $f: X \to \Bbb R$ such that $df(v) > 0$. We show that the trajectory spaces $\mathcal T(v)$ of {\sf…
This paper is the third in a series that researches the Morse Theory, gradient flows, concavity and complexity on smooth compact manifolds with boundary. Employing the local analytic models from \cite{K2}, for \emph{traversally generic…
We present a new formulation of some basic differential geometric notions on a smooth manifold M, in the setting of nonstandard analysis. In place of classical vector fields, for which one needs to construct the tangent bundle of M, we…
This paper introduces the notions of vector field and flow on a general differentiable stack. Our main theorem states that the flow of a vector field on a compact proper differentiable stack exists and is unique up to a uniquely determined…
Any traversally generic vector flow on a compact manifold $X$ with boundary leaves some residual structure on its boundary $\d X$. A part of this structure is the flow-generated causality map $C_v$, which takes a region of $\d X$ to the…
Based on the concept of manifold valued generalized functions we initiate a study of nonlinear ordinary differential equations with singular (in particular: distributional) right hand sides in a global setting. After establishing several…
This paper is part of a series of papers on differential geometry of $C^\infty$-ringed spaces. In this paper, we study vector fields and their flows on a class of singular spaces. Our class includes arbitrary subspaces of manifolds, as well…
Flows of vector fields are an essential tool in differential geometry, with countless applications in both theory and practice. While they have been extensively studied for ordinary manifolds and supermanifolds, a treatment of flows in…
We provide a combinatorial presentation of the set F of 3-dimensional generic flows, namely the set of pairs (M,v) with M a compact oriented 3-manifold and v a nowhere-zero vector field on M having generic behaviour along the boundary of M,…
We study the moduli functor of flat bundles on smooth, possibly non-proper, algebraic variety $X$ (over a field of characteristic zero). For this we introduce the notion of \emph{formal boundary} of $X$, denoted by $\partial X$, which is a…
Recall that a vector field on an n-dimensional differentiable manifold M is a mapping X defined on M with values in the tangent bundle TM that assigns to each point $x\in M$ a vector X(x) in the tangent space $T_x M$. A vector field may be…
We study phase portraits and singular points of vector fields of a special type, that is, vector fields whose components are fractions with a common denominator vanishing on a smooth regular hypersurface in the phase space. We assume also…
Vectors fields defined on surfaces constitute relevant and useful representations but are rarely used. One reason might be that comparing vector fields across two surfaces of the same genus is not trivial: it requires to transport the…
We recall first the relations between the syzygies of the Jacobian ideal of the defining equation for a projective hypersurface $V$ with isolated singularities and the versality properties of $V$, as studied by du Plessis and Wall. Then we…
A global vector field $v$ on a "spacetime" differentiable manifold $\mathrm{V}$, of dimension $N+1$, defines a congruence of world lines: the maximal integral curves of $v$, or orbits. The associated global space $\mathrm{N}\_v$ is the set…
We extend calculus from smooth manifolds to topological manifolds making use of a theory of generalized functions developed for this aim. Actually such extension fits into a boarder context: the universal construction of a site containing…
Let $X$ be a smooth compact manifold and $v$ a vector field on $X$ which admits a smooth function $f: X \to \mathbf R$ such that $df(v) > 0$. Let $\partial X$ be the boundary of $X$. We denote by $C^\infty(X)$ the algebra of smooth…
