The flux line lattice of superconductors has been investigated when there exists a periodicity in the underlying system, such as can occur in artificially layered structures. For small fields parallel to the layers the flux lines enter the…

Helmholtz decomposition theorem for vector fields is presented usually with too strong restrictions on the fields. Based on the work of Blumenthal of 1905 it is shown that the decomposition of vector fields is not only possible for…

The first-return map, or the Poincar\'e map, is a fundamental concept in the theory of flows. However, it can generally be defined only partially, and additional conditions are required to define it globally. Since this partiality reflects…

We study the long-time behavior of a passive scalar transported by an incompressible flow in the presence of smooth, deterministic forcing. For a specific spatially Lipschitz and time-periodic velocity field, we prove that all sufficiently…

We prove asymptotic stability of shear flows in a neighborhood of the Couette flow for the 2D Euler equations in the domain $\T\times[0,1]$. More precisely we prove that if we start with a small and smooth perturbation (in a suitable Gevrey…

Topology describes properties of physical systems that remain constant under continuous deformations. For infinite vector waves, global topological invariants in position space are typically associated with periodic patterns. We demonstrate…
