We prove that the family of normal currents in the sense of Rumin in a Carnot group is compact in the flat topology. This result is obtained through a dual compactness argument for Rumin forms, using the pseudo-differential calculus in…

The Teichm\"uller harmonic map flow deforms both a map from an oriented closed surface $M$ into an arbitrary closed Riemannian manifold, and a constant curvature metric on $M$, so as to reduce the energy of the map as quickly as possible…

Finite-density calculations in lattice field theory are typically plagued by sign problems. A promising way to ameliorate this issue is the holomorphic flow equations that deform the manifold of integration for the path integral to…

Steady fluid flows have very special topology. In this paper we describe necessary and sufficient conditions on the vorticity function of a 2D ideal flow on a surface with or without boundary, for which there exists a steady flow among…

For an oriented $n$-dimensional Lipschitz manifold $M$ we give meaning to the integral $\int_M f dg_1 \wedge ... \wedge dg_n$ in case the functions $f, g_1, >..., g_n$ are merely H\"older continuous of a certain order by extending the…

Motivated by the connection between gauge field topology and the axial anomaly in fermion currents, I use the fourth power of the naive Dirac operator to define a local lattice measure of topological charge. For smooth gauge fields this…

Many classical objects on a surface S can be interpreted as cross-ratio functions on the circle at infinity of the universal covering. This includes closed curves considered up to homotopy, metrics of negative curvature considered up to…

We prove a compactness result for gradient flow lines in a general set-up which comprises both the situation of Morse gradient flow lines as well as Floer cylinders converging to a critical submanifold respectively. For the compactness…

We describe the behaviour at infinity of the bifurcation current in the moduli space of quadratic rational maps. To this purpose, we extend it to some closed, positive (1, 1)-current on a two-dimensional complex projective space and then…

Let $f:X\to X$ be a continuous map on a compact metric space with finite topological entropy. Further, we assume that the entropy map $\mu\mapsto h_\mu(f)$ is upper semi-continuous. It is well-known that this implies the continuity of the…

A method to derive the charge current density and its quantum mechanical correlation from the scattering matrix is discussed for quantum scattering systems described by a time-dependent Hamiltonian operator. The current density and charge…

Let $X$ be a compact K\"ahler manifold. We prove that the K\"ahler-Ricci flow starting from arbitrary closed positive $(1,1)$-currents is smooth outside some analytic subset. This regularity result is optimal meaning that the flow has…
