We study the generic behavior of Hamiltonian trajectories on a regular level set in the cotangent bundle, after projection to the base. We prove that for a generic submersive level set, projected trajectories have discrete…
We show that the standard Heisenberg algebra of quantum mechanics admits a noncommutative differential calculus $\Omega^1$ depending on the Hamiltonian $p^2/2m + V(x)$, and a flat quantum connection $\nabla$ with torsion such that a…
We study the space of oriented genus g subsurfaces of a fixed manifold M, and in particular its homological properties. We construct a "scanning map" which compares this space to the space of sections of a certain fibre bundle over M…
A Riemannian manifold is said to be uniformly secure if there is a finite number $s$ such that all geodesics connecting an arbitrary pair of points in the manifold can be blocked by $s$ point obstacles. We prove that the number of geodesics…
Let $G/K$ be an orbit of the adjoint representation of a compact connected Lie group $G$, $\sigma$ be an involutive automorphism of $G$ and $\tilde G$ be the Lie group of fixed points of $\sigma$. We find a sufficient condition for the…
It is known that for a variety of choices of metrics, including the standard bottleneck distance, the space of persistence diagrams admits geodesics. Typically these existence results produce geodesics that have the form of a convex…
A folklore result due to M.W. Hirsch states that most competitive maps admit a carrying simplex, i.e., an invariant hypersurface which attracts all nontrivial orbits. The common approach in the study of these maps is to focus on the…
In Gel'fand's inverse problem, one aims to determine the topology, differential structure and Riemannian metric of a compact manifold $M$ with boundary from the knowledge of the boundary $\partial M,$ the Neumann eigenvalues $\lambda_j$ and…
Consider the geodesic flow on a real-analytic closed hypersurface $M$ of $\mathbb{R}^n$, equipped with the standard Euclidean metric. The flow is entirely determined by the manifold and the Riemannian metric. Typically, geodesic flows are…
Stationary geodesic networks are the analogs of closed geodesics whose domain is a graph instead of a circle. We prove that for a Baire-generic Riemannian metric on a smooth manifold $M$, all connected embedded stationary geodesic nets are…
We consider a regular distribution $\mathcal{D}$ in a Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$. The Levi-Civita connection on $(M,g)$ together with the orthogonal projection allow to endow the space of sections of $\mathcal{D}$ with a natural covariant…
We prove solenoidal injectivity for the geodesic X-ray transform of tensor fields on simple Riemannian manifolds with $C^{1,1}$ metrics and non-positive sectional curvature. The proof of the result rests on Pestov energy estimates for a…
We introduce a new class of zero-dimensional weighted complete intersections, by abstracting the essential features of rational cohomology algebras of equal rank homogeneous spaces of compact connected Lie groups. We prove that, on a…
Resorting to classical techniques of Riemannian geometry we develop a geometrical method suitable to investigate the nonintegrability of geodesic flows and of natural Hamiltonian systems. Then we apply such method to the Anisotropic Kepler…

A Jacobi field on a Riemannian manifold M is defined along a geodesic. We generalize this notion to an arbitrary smooth curve, and call it an infinitesimal isometry along the curve. We give two approaches to this: 1) compute the complete…
We assign some kind of invariant manifolds to a given integrable PDE (its discrete or semi-discrete variant). First, we linearize the equation around its arbitrary solution $u$. Then we construct a differential (respectively, difference)…
We consider the space of probability measures on a discrete set $X$, endowed with a dynamical optimal transport metric. Given two probability measures supported in a subset $Y \subseteq X$, it is natural to ask whether they can be connected…
