For complete affine manifolds we introduce a definition of compactification based on the projective differential geometry (i.e.\ geodesic path data) of the given connection. The definition of projective compactness involves a real parameter…
In this work we study a class of nonlocal quadratic forms given by \[ \mathcal{E}_j(u,v)=\frac{1}{2}\int_{\mathbb{R}^N}\int_{\mathbb{R}^N}(u(x)-u(y))(v(x)-v(y))j(x-y)\ dxdy, \] where $j:\mathbb{R}^N\to[0,\infty]$ is a measurable even…
This work presents some results about Wick polynomials of a vector field renormalization in locally covariant algebraic quantum field theory in curved spacetime. General vector fields are pictured as sections of natural vector bundles over…
Given a Hopf fibration of a round sphere by parallel great subspheres, we prove that the projection map to the base space is, up to isometries of domain and range, the unique Lipschitz constant minimizer in its homotopy class. Similarly,…
The purpose of this paper is to put into a noncommutative context basic notions related to vector fields from classical differential geometry. The manner of exposition is an attempt to make the material as accessible as possible to…
We state and prove a generalization of the Poincar\'e-Hopf index theorem for manifolds with boundary. We then apply this result to non-vanishing complex vector fields.
We present a framework for studying the dynamics of equivariant vector fields near relative equilibria. To overcome the lack of linearization at a relative equilibrium or the possible non-smoothness of the orbit space, we categorify the…
We study the projections in vector spaces over finite fields. We prove finite fields analogues of the bounds on the dimensions of the exceptional sets for Euclidean projection mapping. We provide examples which do not have exceptional…
The existence of a nowhere zero real vector field implies a well-known restriction on a compact manifold. But all manifolds admit nowhere zero complex vector fields. The relation between these observations is clarified.
In this paper we address the following questions: (i) Let $C\subset \mathbb C^2$ be an orbit of a polynomial vector field which has finite total Gaussian curvature. Is $C$ contained in an algebraic curve? (ii) What can be said of a…
We study the simply connected inextendable Lorentzian surfaces admitting a Killing vector field. We construct a natural family of such surfaces, that we call "universal extensions". They are characterized by a condition of symmetry, the…
We give a direct proof of an important result of Solynin which says that the Poincar\'e metric is a strongly submultiplicative domain function. This result is then used to define a new capacity for compact subsets of the complex plane…
We address problems associated with compactification near and on the light front. In perturbative scalar field theory we illustrate and clarify the relationships among three approaches: (1) quantization on a space-like surface close to a…
In this paper we deal with analytic nonautonomous vector fields with a periodic time-dependancy, that we study near an equilibrium point. In a first part, we assume that the linearized system is split in two invariant subspaces E0 and E1.…
We prove that any smooth vacuum spacetime containing a compact Cauchy horizon with surface gravity that can be normalised to a non-zero constant admits a Killing vector field. This proves a conjecture by Moncrief and Isenberg from 1983…
This paper introduces a novel method to extend the Helmholtz Decomposition to n-dimensional sufficiently smooth and fast decaying vector fields. The rotation is described by a superposition of n(n-1)/2 rotations within the coordinate…
Our main proposition is that field equations for all spins can be obtained from Casimir eigenvalue equations for Poincare group. We have already confirm that statement for massive scalar, spinor and vector fields in Ref.[1]. In the present…
Let $(M,\omega)$ be an almost symplectic manifold ($\omega$ is a non degenerate, not closed, 2-form). We say that a vector field $X$ of $M$ is locally Hamiltonian if $L_X\omega=0,d(i(X)\omega)=0$, and it is Hamiltonian if, furthermore, the…
In the time evolution of fluids, the topologies of fluids can be changed by the creations and annihilations of singular points and by switching combinatorial structures of separatrices. In this paper, to describe the possible generic time…
We consider various generalizations of the Kepler problem to three-dimensional sphere $S^3$, a compact space of constant curvature. These generalizations include, among other things, addition of a spherical analog of the magnetic monopole…
