Helmholtz decomposition theorem for vector fields is usually presented with too strong restrictions on the fields and only for time independent fields. Blumenthal showed in 1905 that decomposition is possible for any asymptotically weakly…

The existence problem for holomorphic structures on vector bundles over non-algebraic surfaces is in general still open. We solve this problem in the case of rank 2 vector bundles over K3 surfaces and in the case of vector bundles of…

A finite difference method is constructed to solve singularly perturbed convection-diffusion problems posed on smooth domains. Constraints are imposed on the data so that only regular exponential boundary layers appear in the solution. A…

The analysis of vector fields is crucial for the understanding of several physical phenomena, such as natural events (e.g., analysis of waves), diffusive processes, electric and electromagnetic fields. While previous work has been focused…

Coupled Ginzburg-Landau equations appear in a variety of contexts involving instabilities in oscillatory media. When the relevant unstable mode is of vectorial character (a common situation in nonlinear optics), the pair of coupled…

In this paper we study hypercomplex manifolds in four dimensions. Rather than using an approach based on differential forms, we develop a dual approach using vector fields. The condition on these vector fields may then be interpreted as Lax…

We consider the Laplace normal vector field of relatively normalized ruled surfaces with non-vanishing Gaussian curvature in the three-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^{3}$. We determine all ruled surfaces and all relative…

Concerning the Laplace operator with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions, the classical notion of isospectrality assumes that two domains are related when they give rise to the same spectrum. In two dimensions, non isometric,…

We introduce a method to estimate the size of the domain of definition of the solutions of a meromorphic vector field on a neighborhood of its pole divisor. The corresponding techniques are, in a certain sense, quantitative versions of some…

In this paper we study extension problems, averaging problems, and generalized Erdos-Falconer distance problems associated with arbitrary homogeneous varieties in three dimensional vector space over finite fields. In the case when…

Given the pair of vector fields $X=\partial_x+|z|^{2m}y\partial_t$ and $ Y=\partial_y-|z|^{2m}x \partial_t,$ where $(x,y,t)= (z,t)\in\mathbb{R}^3=\mathbb{C}\times\mathbb{R}$, we give a condition on a bounded domain…

This short report establishes some basic properties of smooth vector fields on product manifolds. The main results are: (i) On a product manifold there always exists a direct sum decomposition into horizontal and vertical vector fields.…

We consider a massive vector field with derivative interactions that propagates only the 3 desired polarizations (besides two tensor polarizations from gravity) with second-order equations of motion in curved space-time. The cosmological…

I discuss a simple toy problem for the Dirichlet Laplacian in a sequence of domains where the contribution of the boundary to the spectral asymptotics is of the same order as the contribution from the interior
