We study the dynamical behaviour of Hamiltonian flows defined on 4-dimensional compact symplectic manifolds. We find the existence of a C2-residual set of Hamiltonians for which every regular energy surface is either Anosov or it is in the…

Hamiltonian dynamical systems tend to have infinitely many periodic orbits. For example, for a broad class of symplectic manifolds almost all levels of a proper smooth Hamiltonian carry periodic orbits. The Hamiltonian Seifert conjecture is…

Hamiltonian flows on compact surfaces are characterized, and the topological invariants of such flows with finitely many singular points are constructed from the viewpoints of integrable systems, fluid mechanics, and dynamical systems.…

In this paper, we introduce the notion of dynamical coherence for a partially hyperbolic flow $(\varphi^t)$ on a smooth compact manifold $M$, and prove it under the assumption that there exists a compact foliation with trivial holonomy…

In the present paper we give a positive answer to some questions posed by Viana on the existence of positive Lyapunov exponents for Hamiltonian linear differential systems. We prove that there exists an open and dense set of Hamiltonian…

A new diffusion mechanism from the neighborhood of elliptic equilibria for Hamiltonian flows in three or more degrees of freedom is introduced. We thus obtain explicit real entire Hamiltonians on $\R^{2d}$, $d\geq 4$, that have a Lyapunov…

Topological constraints play a key role in the self-organizing processes that create structures in macro systems. In fact, if all possible degrees of freedom are actualized on equal footing without constraint, the state of "equipartition"…

The curvature and the reduced curvature are basic differential invariants of the pair (Hamiltonian system, Lagrange distribution) on the symplectic manifold. It is shown that the negativity of the reduced curvature implies the hyperbolicity…

We propose a minimal model for the emergence of a directed flow in autonomous Hamiltonian systems. It is shown that internal breaking of the spatio-temporal symmetries, via localised initial conditions, that are unbiased with respect to the…

From a kinematical point of view, the geometrical information of hamiltonian chaos is given by the (un)stable directions, while the dynamical information is given by the Lyapunov exponents. The finite time Lyapunov exponents are of…

We perform a microcanonical study of classical lattice phi^4 field models in 3 dimensions with O(n) symmetries. The Hamiltonian flows associated to these systems that undergo a second order phase transition in the thermodynamic limit are…

We study smooth volume-preserving perturbations of the time-1 map of the geodesic flow $\psi_{t}$ of a closed Riemannian manifold of dimension at least three with constant negative curvature. We show that such a perturbation has equal…

We identify a strong stability condition on minimal submanifolds that implies uniqueness and dynamical stability properties. In particular, we prove a uniqueness theorem and a C^1 dynamical stability theorem of the mean curvature flow for…

A framework for statistical-mechanical analysis of quantum Hamiltonians is introduced. The approach is based upon a gradient flow equation in the space of Hamiltonians such that the eigenvectors of the initial Hamiltonian evolve toward…

The Hamiltonian dynamics of the classical $\phi^4$ model on a two-dimensional square lattice is investigated by means of numerical simulations. The macroscopic observables are computed as time averages. The results clearly reveal the…

We consider C2 Hamiltonian functions on compact 4-dimensional symplectic manifolds to study elliptic dynamics of the Hamiltonian flow, namely the so-called Newhouse dichotomy. We show that for any open set U intersecting a far from Anosov…

Given orientable Riemannian manifolds $M^n$ and $\bar M^{n+1},$ we study flows $F_t:M^n\rightarrow\bar M^{n+1},$ called Weingarten flows,in which the hypersurfaces $F_t(M)$ evolve in the direction of their normal vectors with speed given by…

Mean-field systems provide a natural framework in which collective effects persist as the number of degrees of freedom N increases, raising fundamental questions about the emergence of integrability and the nature of chaos in large but…

We consider Euler equations for potential flow of ideal incompressible fluid with a free surface and infinite depth in two dimensional geometry. Both gravity forces and surface tension are taken int account. A time-dependent conformal…

This paper gives some examples of hypersurfaces $\phi_t(M^n)$ evolving in time with speed determined by functions of the normal curvatures in an $(n+1)$-dimensional hyperbolic manifold; we emphasize the case of flow by harmonic mean…
