Consider an analytical function $f:V\subset\mathbb R^2\rightarrow\mathbb R$ having $0$ as its regular value, a switching manifold $\Sigma=f^{-1}(0)$ and a piecewise analytical vector field $X=(X^+,X^-)$, i.e. $X^\pm$ are analytical vector…

The (negative) gradient vector fields of Morse functions on a compact manifold provide an important example in dynamical system. In this note we prove two important properties of this kind of vector field: Connectedness of critical points…

Strongly coupled quantum field theories in $(1+1)$ dimensions are notoriously hard to solve non-perturbatively. Variational methods, despite their success for quantum many-body physics on the lattice, have long lacked a natural ansatz…

Main properties of noncommutative (NC) gauge theory are investigated in a $2-$dimensional twisted Moyal plane, generated by vector fields $X_{a}=e_{a}^{\mu}(x)\partial_{\mu};$ the dynamical effects are induced by a non trivial tensor…

We introduce the notion of a field of covariances, a contravariant functor from non-commutative probability spaces to Hilbert spaces, as the natural categorical analogue of statistical covariance. In the case of finite-dimensional…

In many relevant cases -- e.g., in hamiltonian dynamics -- a given vector field can be characterized by means of a variational principle based on a one-form. We discuss how a vector field on a manifold can also be characterized in a similar…

A plane curve C defined by a homogeneous polynomial satisfying Laplace's equation appears canonically as the vanishing of the Pfaffian of a skew-symmetric matrix of linear forms. As a consequence there is a natural semi-stable rank two…
