The geometric quantization of the geodesic flow on a compact Riemannian manifold via the BKS "dragging projection" yields the Laplacian plus a scalar curvature term. To avoid convergence issues, the standard construction involves somewhat…

Renormalisation Group (RG) flows in theory space (the space of couplings) are generated by a vector field -- the $\beta$ function. Using a specific metric ansatz in theory space and certain methods employed largely in the context of General…

We revisit entropy methods to prove new sharp trace logarithmic Sobolev and sharp Gagliardo-Nirenberg-Sobolev inequalities on the half space, with a focus on the entropy inequality itself and not the actual flow, allowing for somewhat…

In this paper, we study the behavior of Ricci flows on compact orbifolds with finite singularities. We show that Perelman's pseudolocality theorem also holds on orbifold Ricci flow. Using this property, we obtain a weak compactness theorem…

The motion of an incompressible fluid in Lagrangian coordinates involves infinitely many symmetries generated by the left Lie algebra of group of volume preserving diffeomorphisms of the three dimensional domain occupied by the fluid.…

A significant mathematical error is identified and corrected in a recent highly-cited paper on oscillatory flows of second-grade fluids [Fetecau & Fetecau (2005). Int. J. Eng. Sci., 43, 781--789]. The corrected solutions are shown to agree…

In this article we investigate the dynamical properties of the geodesic flow for a proper metric space endowed with a proper action by isometries of a group with a contracting element. We show that the existence of a contracting isometry is…

The well-known problem of unidirectional plane flow of a fluid in a half-space due to the impulsive motion of the plate it rests upon is discussed in the context of the second-grade and the Oldroyd-B non-Newtonian fluids. The governing…

Based on the idea of a recent paper by Ambrosio-Gigli-Savar\'e in Invent. Math. (2013), we show that flow of the $q$-Cheeger energy, called $q$-heat flow, solves the gradient flow problem of the Renyi entropy functional in the…

Recently, flow-based generative models have shown superior efficiency compared to diffusion models. In this paper, we study rectified flow models, which constrain transport trajectories to be linear from the base distribution to the data…

For a conformal vector field on a closed, real-analytic, Lorentzian manifold we prove that the flow is locally isometric -- that it preserves a metric in the conformal class on a neighborhood of any point -- or the metric is everywhere…

Two flows on a finite-dimensional normed space $X$ are equivalent if some homeomorphism $h$ of $X$ preserves all orbits, i.e., $h$ maps each orbit onto an orbit. Under the assumption that $h$, $h^{-1}$ both are $\beta$-H\"{o}lder continuous…

From the paper "Formality Conjecture" (Ascona 1996): "I am aware of only one such a class, it corresponds to simplest good graph, the complete graph with $4$ vertices $($and $6$ edges$)$. This class gives a remarkable vector field on the…

We reprove the $\lambda$-Lemma for finite dimensional gradient flows by generalizing the well-known contraction method proof of the local (un)stable manifold theorem. This only relies on the forward Cauchy problem. We obtain a rather…

We employ the curve shortening flow to establish three new results on the dynamics of geodesic flows of closed Riemannian surfaces. The first one is the stability, under $C^0$-small perturbations of the Riemannian metric, of certain flat…

We introduce a general framework for training flow matching models on Riemannian symmetric spaces, a large class of manifolds that includes the sphere, hyperbolic space and Grassmannians. We exploit their algebraic structure to reformulate…

It is the purpose of this article to establish a technical tool to study regularity of solutions to parabolic equations on manifolds. As applications of this technique, we prove that solutions to the Ricci-DeTurck flow, the surface…

We prove that the Kontsevich tetrahedral flow $\dot{\mathcal{P}} = \mathcal{Q}_{a:b} (\mathcal{P})$, the right-hand side of which is a linear combination of two differential monomials of degree four in a bi-vector $\mathcal{P}$ on an affine…

We demonstrate the use of the Lorentz reciprocal theorem in obtaining corrections to the steady flow rate due to flow oscillations in rigid channels. Starting from the unsteady Stokes equations, we derive the suitable reciprocity relation,…

For homogeneous and isotropic linearly elastic solids and for incompressible fluids under low-Reynolds-number conditions the fundamental solutions of the associated continuum equations were derived a long time ago for bulk systems. That is,…
