We prove that a surface carries a hexagonal 3-web of geodesics if and only if the geodesic flow on the surface admits a cubic first integral and show that the system of partial differential equations, governing metrics on such surfaces, is…

Recall that a vector field on an n-dimensional differentiable manifold M is a mapping X defined on M with values in the tangent bundle TM that assigns to each point $x\in M$ a vector X(x) in the tangent space $T_x M$. A vector field may be…

In this paper we parallel the construction of Tong of a gauge theory for shallow water, by writing a gauge theory for the Euler fluid in 2+1 dimensions. We then extend it to an Euler fluid coupled to electromagnetic background. We argue…

In this paper, we classify helix (spacelike, timelike and null) curves, directed by the geodesic flow vector field, on the (3-dimensional) unit tangent bundle of a pseudo-Riemannian surface of constant Gaussian curvature endowed with a…

We develop a new method for proving that a flow has the so-called strong convolution singularity property, i.e. the Gaussian system induced by its (reduced) maximal spectral type has simple spectrum. We use these methods to give examples of…

Using numerical simulations, we show that the asymptotic states of two-dimensional (2D) Euler turbulence exhibit large-scale flow structures due to nonzero energy transfers among small wavenumber modes. These asymptotic states, which depend…

We study the action of the horocycle flow on the moduli space of abelian differentials in genus two. In particular, we exhibit a classification of a specific class of probability measures that are invariant and ergodic under the horocycle…

This paper presents a streamfunction-vorticity formulation for the Navier--Stokes and Euler equations on general surfaces. Notably, this includes non-simply connected surfaces, on which the harmonic components of the velocity field play a…

We investigate the asymptotic behaviour of fast rotating incompressible fluids with vanishing viscosity, in a {three dimensional} domain with topography including the case of land area. Assuming the initial data is well-prepared, we prove a…

We investigate the geometry of a family of equations in two dimensions which interpolate between the Euler equations of ideal hydrodynamics and the inviscid surface quasi-geostrophic equation. This family can be realised as geodesic…

We have studied theoretically the flow of superfluid 3He-A in parallel-plate geometry. The equilibrium order-parameter texture is calculated numerically in two spatial dimensions consisting of the coordinates along the flow direction and…

We prove several claims made by Kontsevich about the orbifold Euler characteristic of the three types of graph homology introduced by him. For this purpose, first we develop a simplified version of the Feynman diagram method, which requires…

The space of two-dimensional geometric adeles of a surface is far from being a locally compact space and there is no translation countably additive invariant nontrivial measure on it. At the same time, certain subquotients of the adeles are…

We investigate typical behavior of geodesics on a closed flat surface $S$ of genus $g\geq 2$. We compare the length quotient of long arcs in the same homotopy class with fixed endpoints for the flat and the hyperbolic metric in the same…

We show that the horocyclic flow of an orientable compact higher genus surface without conjugate points and with continuous Green bundles is uniquely ergodic. The result applies to nonflat nonpositively curved surfaces and generalizes a…

The relevance of two-dimensional three-components (2D3C) flows goes well beyond their occurrence in nature, and a deeper understanding of their dynamics might be also helpful in order to shed further light on the dynamics of pure…

It is shown how a complete set of hydrodynamic equations describing an unsteady three-dimensional viscous flow nearby a solid body, can be reduced to a closed system of surface equations using the method of dimension reduction of…

In this article, we prove that a free divisor in a three dimensional complex manifold must be Euler homogeneous in a strong sense if the cohomology of its complement is the hypercohomology of its logarithmic differential forms. F.J.…

We define transgressions of arbitrary order, with respect to families of unit-vector fields indexed by a polytope, for the Pfaffian of metric connections for semi-Riemannian metrics on vector bundles. We apply this formula to compute the…
