Gradient flows of the Kullback--Leibler (KL) divergence, such as the Fokker--Planck equation and Stein Variational Gradient Descent, evolve a distribution toward a target density known only up to a normalizing constant. We introduce new…

This paper studies the asymptotic behavior of the flux and circulation of a subclass of random fields within the family of 2-dimensional vector ambit fields. We show that, under proper normalization, the flux and the circulation converge…

For a sub-riemannian structure on the torus, satisfying the H\"ormander condition, we consider the Ma\~n\'e Lagrangian associated to a horizontal vector field. Assuming that the Aubry set consists in a finite number of static classes, we…

We show ODE-closedness for a large class of Besov spaces $\mathcal{B}^{n,\alpha,p}(\mathbb{R}^d,\mathbb{R}^d)$, where $n \geq 1,~\alpha \in (0,1],~p \in [1,\infty]$. ODE-closedness means that pointwise time-dependent…

Smooth vector fields on $\mathbb{R}^n$ can be decomposed into the sum of a gradient vector field and divergence-free (solenoidal) vector field under suitable hypotheses. This is called the Helmholtz-Hodge decomposition (HHD), which has been…

We find conditions under which the restriction of a divergence-free vector field $B$ to an invariant toroidal surface $S$ is linearisable. The main results are similar in conclusion to Arnold's Structure Theorems but require weaker…

In this paper, we study flows associated to Sobolev vector fields with subexponentially integrable divergence. Our approach is based on the transport equation following DiPerna-Lions [DPL89]. A key ingredient is to use a quantitative…

Mean-field-based Lagrangian framework is developed for the fluid turbulence theory. The space- time vector flow is naturally introduced from the mean velocity, which provides the Lagrangian picture based on the mean field in totally…

We study phase portraits and singular points of vector fields of a special type, that is, vector fields whose components are fractions with a common denominator vanishing on a smooth regular hypersurface in the phase space. We assume also…

We examine $3D$ flows $\mathbf{\dot{x}}=\mathbf{v}({\bf x})$ admitting vector identity $M\mathbf{v} = \nabla \times \mathbf{A}$ for a multiplier $M$ and a potential field $\mathbf{A}$. It is established that, for those systems, one can…

A 3-dimensional vector field $B$ is said to be Beltrami vector field (force free-magnetic vector field in physics), if $B\times(\nabla\times B)=0$. Motivated by our investigations on projective an polynomial superflows, and as an important…

We prove a regularity result for Lagrangian flows of Sobolev vector fields over RCD(K,N) metric measure spaces, regularity is understood with respect to a newly defined quasi-metric built from the Green function of the Laplacian. Its main…

The Lagrangian approach is natural to study issues of turbulent dispersion and mixing. We propose in this work a general Lagrangian stochastic model including velocity and acceleration as dynamical variables for inhomogeneous turbulent…

Coherent boundaries of Lagrangian vortices in fluid flows have recently been identified as closed orbits of line fields associated with the Cauchy-Green strain tensor. Here we develop a fully automated procedure for the detection of such…

We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of smooth Lyapunov 1-forms for the flow of a smooth vector field in terms of the behavior of certain locally finite invariant measures. The main statement generalizes a result of…

We experimentally study the properties of mean and most probable velocity fields in a turbulent von K\'arm\'an flow. These fields are found to be described by two families of functions, as predicted by a recent statistical mechanics study…

In this paper, we resolve an important long-standing question of Alberti \cite{alberti2012generalized} that asks if there is a continuous vector field with bounded divergence and of class $W^{1, p}$ for some $p \geq 1$ such that the ODE…

Starting from a recently proposed linear formulation in terms of auxiliary fields, we study $n$-field generalizations of Born and Born-Infeld theories. In this description the Lagrangian is quadratic in the vector field strengths and the…

Non-smooth vector fields does not have necessarily the property of uniqueness of solution passing through a point and this is responsible to enrich the behavior of the system. Even on the plane non-smooth vector fields can be chaotic, a…

This paper presents an approach to a time-dependent variant of the concept of vector field topology for 2-D vector fields. Vector field topology is defined for steady vector fields and aims at discriminating the domain of a vector field…
