We show that holomorphic vector fields on (C^3,0) have separatrices provided that they are embedded in a rank 2 representation of a two-dimensional Lie algebra. In turn, this result enables us to show that the second jet of a holomorphic…

We consider the existence of Beltrami fields with a nonconstant proportionality factor $f$ in an open subset $U$ of $\mathbf{R}^3$. By reformulating this problem as a constrained evolution equation on a surface, we find an explicit…

This work investigates biharmonic and interpolating sesqui-harmonic vector fields on the tangent bundle of a para-K\"ahler--Norden manifold (M, varphi, g) endowed with the varphi-Sasaki metric. We derive the first variation of the bienergy…

Given a closed Riemannian manifold $(M^m,g)$ and a vector field $v$ on $M$, we form the Sasaki metric $g_S$ on $TM$, and restrict it to the image of the cross section map of $M$ into $TM$ defined by $v$, whose pull back to $M$ defines a new…

We consider several new classes of viable vector field alternatives to the inflaton and quintessence scalar fields. Spatial vector fields are shown to be compatible with the cosmological anisotropy bounds if only slightly displaced from the…

We extend the concept of the Kodama symmetry, a quasi-local time translation symmetry for dynamical spherically symmetric spacetimes, to a specific class of dynamical axisymmetric spacetimes, namely the families of Kerr-Vaidya and…

First we characterize all the polynomial vector fields in $\R^4$ which have the Clifford torus as an invariant surface. After we study the number of invariant meridians and parallels that such polynomial vector fields can have in function…

Let ${\mathfrak{g}}$ be a complex semisimple Lie algebra with Borel subalgebra ${\mathfrak{b}}$ and corresponding nilradical ${\mathfrak{n}}$. We show that singular Whittaker modules $M$ are simple if and only if the space $\hbox{Wh}\,M$ of…
