Relativistic field theory for a vector field on a curved space-time is considered assuming that the Lagrangian field density is quadratic and contains field derivatives of first order at most. By applying standard variational calculus, the…

Navier equations are used to describe the deformation of a homogeneous, isotropic and linear elastic medium in the absence of body forces. Mathematically, the system is a natural vector (field) $O(n,\mbb{R})$-invariant generalization of the…

We use the vorticity formulation to study the long-time behavior of solutions to the Navier-Stokes equation on R^3. We assume that the initial vorticity is small and decays algebraically at infinity. After introducing self-similar…

Let $G$ be a real reductive connected Lie group and $\sigma$ an involution of $G$. Let $H$ denote the identity component of the group of fixed points of $\sigma$, $\mathfrak g$ the Lie algebra of $G$ and $\mathfrak q$ the -1 eigenspace of…

We give a generalization of an algebraic formula of Gomez-Mont for the index of a vector field with isolated zero in (C^n,0) and tangent to an isolated hypersurface singularity. We only assume that the vector field has an isolated zero on…

We give the classification of all complete algebraic vector fields on Danielewski surfaces (smooth surfaces given by $xy=p(z)$). We use the fact that for each such vector field there exists a certain fibration that is preserved under its…

Vector fields and line fields, their counterparts without orientations on tangent lines, are familiar objects in the theory of dynamical systems. Among the techniques used in their study, the Morse--Smale decomposition of a (generic) field…

Let $X$ be a suitable function space and let $\cG \subset X$ be the set of divergence free vector fields generating a global, smooth solution to the incompressible, homogeneous three dimensional Navier-Stokes equations. We prove that a…

We analyze actual methods that generate smooth frame fields both in 2D and in 3D. We formalize the 2D problem by representing frames as functions (as it was done in 3D), and show that the derived optimization problem is the one that…

In this paper, we perform analysis of the fluid velocity vector field divergence $\nabla \cdot \vec{u}$ derived from the continuity equation, and we explore its application in the Navier-Stokes equations for compressible fluids $\rho…

We investigate the algebra of vector fields on the sphere. First, we find that linear deformations of this algebra are obstructed under reasonable conditions. In particular, we show that $hs[\lambda]$, the one-parameter deformation of the…

The aim of this paper is to investigate the point spectra of vector fields. We will define the point spectrum of a vector field and study some of its basic properties. In particular, we will prove that point spectra are well-behaved under…

In this paper, we use affine surfaces to describe completely the real-time trajectories of a homogeneous vector field in $\mathbf{C}^{2}$. We prove the existence of a continuous "rotation number" in $\mathbf{C}^{2}$ which is constant along…

This paper presents results concerning bifurcations of 2D piecewise-smooth dynamical systems governed by vector fields. Generic three-parameter families of a class of Non-Smooth Vector Fields are studied and the bifurcation diagrams are…

This note provides an affirmative answer to a question of Viterbo concerning the existence of nondiffeomorphic contact forms that share the same Reeb vector field. Starting from an observation by Croke-Kleiner and Abbondandolo that such…

The existence of a nowhere zero real vector field implies a well-known restriction on a compact manifold. But all manifolds admit nowhere zero complex vector fields. The relation between these observations is clarified.
