This is the first of three papers on the geometric and combinatorial characterization of global Sturm attractors which consist of a single closed 3-ball. The underlying scalar PDE is parabolic, $$ u_t = u_{xx} + f(x,u,u_x)\,, $$ on the unit…

We embark on a detailed analysis of the close relations between combinatorial and geometric aspects of the scalar parabolic PDE \begin{equation}\label{eq:*} u_t = u_{xx} + f(x,u,u_x) \tag{$*$} \end{equation} on the unit interval $0 < x<1$…
We systematically explore a simple class of global attractors, called Sturm due to nodal properties, for the semilinear scalar parabolic PDE \begin{equation*}\label{eq:*} u_t = u_{xx} + f(x,u,u_x) %\tag{$*$} \end{equation*} on the unit…
We study global attractors $\mathcal{A}=\mathcal{A}_f$ of semiflows generated by semilinear partial parabolic differential equations of the form $u_t = u_{xx} + f(x,u,u_x), 0<x<1$, satisfying Neumann boundary conditions. The equilibria…
This sequel continues our exploration arxiv:2302.12531 of a deceptively ``simple'' class of global attractors, called Sturm due to nodal properties. They arise for the semilinear scalar parabolic PDE \begin{equation}\label{eq:*} u_t =…
About a decade ago Thurston proved that a vast collection of 3-manifolds carry metrics of constant negative curvature. These manifolds are thus elements of {\em hyperbolic geometry}, as natural as Euclid's regular polyhedra. For a closed…
We explicitly construct global attractors of fully nonlinear parabolic equations. The attractors are decomposed as equilibria (time independent solutions) and heteroclinic orbits (solutions that converge to distinct equilibria backwards and…
We survey the global dynamics of semiflows generated by scalar semilinear parabolic equations which are $\mathbb{SO}(2)$ equivariant under spatial shifts of $x\in \mathbb{S}^1=\mathbb{R}/2\pi\mathbb{Z}$, i.e. $$ u_t = u_{xx} +…
We find all Heegaard diagrams with the property "alternating" or "weakly alternating" on a genus two orientable closed surface. Using these diagrams we give infinitely many genus two 3--manifolds, each admits an automorphism whose…
The Thurston norm is a seminorm on the second real homology group of a compact orientable 3-manifold. The unit ball of this norm is a convex polyhedron, whose shape's data (e.g. number of vertices, regularity) measures the complexity of the…
The goal of this paper is to construct explicitly the global attractors of parabolic equations with singular diffusion coefficients on the boundary, as it was done without the singular term for the semilinear case by Brunovsk'y and Fiedler…
We present a new three-parameter family of self-consistent equilibrium models for quasi-relaxed stellar systems that are subject to the combined action of external tides and rigid internal rotation. These models provide an idealised…
It is conjectured that every cusped hyperbolic 3-manifold has a decomposition into positive volume ideal hyperbolic tetrahedra (a "geometric" triangulation of the manifold). Under a mild homology assumption on the manifold we construct…
In this work we derive a lower bounds for the Hausdorff and fractal dimensions of the global attractor of the Sabra shell model of turbulence in different regimes of parameters. We show that for a particular choice of the forcing and for…
We show here the global, in time, regularity of the three dimensional viscous Camassa-Holm (Lagrangian Averaged Navier-Stokes-alpha) equations. We also provide estimates, in terms of the physical parameters of the equations, for the…
The Birman-Williams theorem gives a connection between the collection of unstable periodic orbits (UPOs) contained within a chaotic attractor and the topology of that attractor, for three-dimensional systems. In certain cases, the fractal…
We study the $O(N)^3$ supersymmetric quantum field theory of a scalar superfield $\Phi_{abc}$ with a tetrahedral interaction. In the large $N$ limit the theory is dominated by the melonic diagrams. We solve the corresponding Dyson-Schwinger…
Motivated by the study in Morse theory and Smale's work in dynamics, the following questions are studied and answered: (1) When does a 3-manifold admit an automorphism having a knotted Smale solenoid as an attractor? (2) When does a…
We consider an autonomous system of partial differential equations for one-dimensional distributed medium with periodic boundary conditions. Dynamics in time consists of alternating birth and death of patterns with spatial phases…
