We study smooth {\sf traversing} vector fields $v$ on compact manifolds $X$ with boundary. A traversing $v$ admits a Lyapunov function $f: X \to \Bbb R$ such that $df(v) > 0$. We show that the trajectory spaces $\mathcal T(v)$ of {\sf…

This paper describes a mechanism by which a traversally generic flow $v$ on a smooth connected manifold $X$ with boundary produces a compact $CW$-complex $\mathcal T(v)$, which is homotopy equivalent to $X$ and such that $X$ embeds in…

As has been observed by Morse \cite{Mo}, any generic vector field $v$ on a compact smooth manifold $X$ with boundary gives rise to a stratification of the boundary $\d X$ by compact submanifolds $\{\d_j^\pm X(v)\}_{1 \leq j \leq \dim(X)}$,…

We combine Gromov's amenable localization technique with the Poincar\'{e} duality to study the traversally generic vector flows on smooth compact manifolds $X$ with boundary. Such flows generate well-understood stratifications of $X$ by the…

We construct a complete invariant for non-wandering surface flows with finitely many singular points but without locally dense orbits. Precisely, we show that a flow $v$ with finitely many singular points on a compact connected surface $S$…

Let $X$ be a compact smooth manifold with boundary. In this article, we study the spaces $\mathcal V^\dagger(X)$ and $\mathcal V^\ddagger(X)$ of so called boundary generic and traversally generic vector fields on $X$ and the place they…

Let $X$ be a smooth compact manifold and $v$ a vector field on $X$ which admits a smooth function $f: X \to \mathbf R$ such that $df(v) > 0$. Let $\partial X$ be the boundary of $X$. We denote by $C^\infty(X)$ the algebra of smooth…

In this paper the whole geometrical set-up giving a conformally invariant holographic projection of a diffeomorphism invariant bulk theory is clarified. By studying the renormalization group flow along null geodesic congruences a…

It was recently pointed out that the physics of a single discrete gravitational extra dimension exhibits a peculiar UV/IR connection relating the UV scale to the radius of the effective extra dimension. Here we note that this non-locality…

In this paper, we study transversely holomorphic partially hyperbolic flows, i.e. those whose holonomy pseudo-group is given by biholomorphic maps. We prove in the seven-dimensional case that under the assumption that the subcenter…

For a given smooth compact manifold $M$, we introduce an open class $\mathcal G(M)$ of Riemannian metrics, which we call \emph{metrics of the gradient type}. For such metrics $g$, the geodesic flow $v^g$ on the spherical tangent bundle $SM…

Let S be a compact surface with boundary and F be the set of the orbits of a traversing flow on S. If the flow is generic, its orbit space is a spine G of S, namely G is a graph embedded in S and S is a regular neighbourhood of G. Moreover…

Suppose that $X$ and $Y$ are surfaces of finite topological type, where $X$ has genus $g\geq 6$ and $Y$ has genus at most $2g-1$; in addition, suppose that $Y$ is not closed if it has genus $2g-1$. Our main result asserts that every…

We re-examine holographic versions of the c-theorem and entanglement entropy in the context of higher curvature gravity and the AdS/CFT correspondence. We select the gravity theories by tuning the gravitational couplings to eliminate…

This is a concise review of holographic superconductors and superfluids. We highlight some predictions of the holographic models and the emphasis is given to physical aspects rather than to the technical details, although some references to…

We study the existence of topologically closed complex curves normalized by bordered Riemann surfaces in complex spaces. Our main result is that such curves abound in any noncompact complex space admitting an exhaustion function whose Levi…

Let $D\subset \C^n,$ $G\subset \C^m$ be pseudoconvex domains, let $A$ (resp. $B$) be an open subset of the boundary $\partial D$ (resp. $\partial G$) and let $X$ be the 2-fold cross $((D\cup A)\times B)\cup (A\times(B\cup G)).$ Suppose in…

In the following article we study the limiting properties of the Yang-Mills flow associated to a holomorphic vector bundle E over an arbitrary compact K\"ahler manifold (X,{\omega}). In particular we show that the flow is determined at…

We study a topological field theory in four dimensions on a manifold with boundary. A bulk-boundary interaction is introduced through a novel variational principle rather than explicitly. Through this scheme we find that the boundary values…

This paper shows that the topological structures of particle orbits generated by a generic class of vector fields on spherical surfaces, called {\it the flow of finite type}, are in one-to-one correspondence with discrete structures such as…
