It is well known that the Lagrangian and the Hamiltonian formalisms can be combined and lead to "covariant symplectic" methods. For that purpose a "pre-symplectic form" has been constructed from the Lagrangian using the so-called Noether…

We use Moser's normal forms to study chaotic motion in two-degree hamiltonian systems near a saddle point. Besides being convergent, they provide a suitable description of the cylindrical topology of the chaotic flow in that vicinity. Both…

We study loops of symplectic diffeomorphisms of closed symplectic manifolds. Our main result, which is valid for a large class of symplectic manifolds, shows that the flux of a symplectic loop vanishes whenever its orbits are contractible.…

Let $M$ be a compact orientable surface equipped with a volume form $\omega$, $P$ be either $\mathbb{R}$ or $S^1$, $f:M\to P$ be a $C^{\infty}$ Morse map, and $H$ be the Hamiltonian vector field of $f$ with respect to $\omega$. Let also…

We study Hamiltonian systems near a compact symplectic Morse-Bott minimum. Our first result shows that if the flow is Zoll (that is, it induces a free circle action) along a sequence of energy levels converging to the minimum, then the…

We construct topological invariants, called abstract weak orbit spaces, of flows and homeomorphisms on topological spaces, to describe both gradient dynamics and recurrent dynamics. In particular, the abstract weak orbit spaces of flows on…

This work aims to investigate the well-posedness and the existence of ergodic invariant measures for a class of third grade fluid equations in bounded domain $D\subset\mathbb{R}^d,d=2,3,$ in the presence of a multiplicative noise. First, we…

We show that the invariant measure of point vortices, when conditioning the Hamiltonian to a finite interval, converges weakly to the enstrophy measure by conditioning the renormalized energy to the same interval. We also prove the…

A goal of this work is to study the dynamics in the complement of KAM tori with focus on non-local robust transitivity. We introduce $C^r$ open sets ($r=1, 2, ..., \infty$) of symplectic diffeomorphisms and Hamiltonian systems, exhibiting…

We show that the massive noncommutative U(1) theory is embedded in a gauge theory using an alternative systematic way, which is based on the symplectic framework. The embedded Hamiltonian density is obtained after a finite number of steps…

Let $(X,d)$ be a compact metric space, $f:X \mapsto X$ be a continuous map with the specification property, and $\varphi: X \mapsto \IR$ be a continuous function. We prove a variational principle for topological pressure (in the sense of…

A consistent approach to the description of integral coordinate invariant functionals of the metric on manifolds ${\cal M}_{\alpha}$ with conical defects (or singularities) of the topology $C_{\alpha}\times\Sigma$ is developed. According to…

In this paper, we study the dynamical aspects of the \emph{Hamiltonian homeomorphism group} $Hameo(M,\omega)$ which was introduced by M\"uller and the author. We introduce the notion of autonomous continuous Hamiltonian flows and extend the…

Let M be a symplectic 4-manifold. A semitoric integrable system on M is a pair of real-valued smooth functions J, H on M for which J generates a Hamiltonian S^1-action and the Poisson brackets {J,H} vanish. We shall introduce new global…

We provide a sharp monotonicity theorem about the distribution of subharmonic functions on manifolds, which can be regarded as a new, measure theoretic form of the uncertainty principle. As an illustration of the scope of this result, we…

We develop criteria for affine varieties to admit uniruled subvarieties of certain dimensions. The measurements are from long exact sequences of versions of symplectic cohomology, which is a Hamiltonian Floer theory for some open symplectic…

We study in detail the dynamics of conformal Hamiltonian flows that are defined on a conformal symplectic manifold (this notion was popularized by Vaisman in 1976). We show that they exhibit some conservative and dissipative behaviours. We…

For a given pseudo-Anosov homeomorphism $\varphi$ of a closed surface $S$, the action of $\varphi$ on the Teichm\"uller space $\mathcal T(S)$ preserves the Weil-Petersson symplectic form. We give explicit formulae for two invariant…

In this paper we introduce invariants of semi-free Hamiltonian actions of $S\sp 1$ on compact symplectic manifolds (which satisfy some technical conditions related to positivity) using the space of solutions to certain gauge theoretical…

We prove the invariant of the symplectic capacity for the Zakharov system on a torus. If the Zakharov solution map is well-defined, then it can be regarded as a symplectomorphism. Thus, we first show the global well-posedness via the local…
