We prove that the existence of a Hurewicz fibration between certain spaces with the homotopy type of a CW-complex implies some topological restrictions on their universal coverings. This result is used to deduce differentiable and metric…
Taylor-Couette (TC) flow, the flow between two independently rotating and co-axial cylinders is commonly used as a canonical model for shear flows. Unlike plane Couette, pinned secondary flows can be found in TC flow. These are known as…
Systems of ODEs coupled with the topology of a closed ring are common models in biology, robotics, electrical engineering, and many other areas of science. When the component systems and couplings are identical, the system has a cyclic…
We construct global curves of rotational traveling wave solutions to the $2D$ water wave equations on a compact domain. The real analytic interface is subject to surface tension, while gravitational effects are ignored. In contrast to the…
We analyze the topological properties of a chiral ${p}+i{p}$ superconductor for a two-dimensional metal/semimetal with four Dirac points. Such a system has been proposed to realize second-order topological superconductivity and host corner…
We study a class of 2-dimensional Hamiltonian systems $H(x,y,p_x,p_y)=\frac12(p_x^2+p_y^2) +V(x,y)$ in which the plane $x$=$p_x$=0 is invariant under the Hamiltonian flow, so that straight-line librations along the y axis exist, and we also…
We investigate the persistence and regularity of spectral submanifolds (SSMs) in high-dimensional parametric dynamical systems undergoing a Hopf bifurcation. By analyzing how resonances in the linearized spectrum near bifurcation points…
We propose a topological framework for the detection of Hopf bifurcations directly from time series, based on persistent homology applied to phase space reconstructions via Takens embedding within the framework of Topological Data Analysis.…
It is well-established that shear flows are linearly unstable provided the viscosity is small enough, when the horizontal Fourier wave number lies in some interval, between the so-called lower and upper marginally stable curves. In this…

Network geometry has strong effects on network dynamics. In particular, the underlying hyperbolic geometry of discrete manifolds has recently been shown to affect their critical percolation properties. Here we investigate the properties of…
Investigations of counter-rotating Taylor-Couette flow (TCF) in the narrow gap limit are conducted in a very large aspect ratio apparatus. The phase diagram is presented and compared to that obtained by Andereck et al. The spiral turbulence…
A large number of flows with distinctive patterns have been observed in experiments and simulations of Rayleigh-Benard convection in a water-filled cylinder whose radius is twice the height. We have adapted a time-dependent pseudospectral…
Nonlinear evolution of a continuous spectrum of unstable waves near the first bifurcation point in circular Couette flow has been investigated. The disturbance is represented by a Fourier integral over all possible axial wavenumbers, and an…
This is the second of a series of papers which are devoted to a comprehensive theory of maps between orbifolds. In this paper, we develop a basic machinery for studying homotopy classes of such maps. It contains two parts: (1) the…
We show that su(2) rational and trigonometric Gaudin models, or in other words, generalised coupled angular momenta systems, have singularities that undergo Hamiltonian Hopf bifurcations. In particular, we find a normal form for the…
We derive a rigorous classification of topologically stable Fermi surfaces of non-interacting, discrete translation-invariant systems from electronic band theory, adiabatic evolution and their topological interpretations. For systems on an…
We introduce spectral flow techniques to explain why the Fermi arcs of Weyl semimetals are topologically protected against boundary condition changes and perturbations. We first analyse the topology of a certain universal space of…
In a previous paper, the authors developed a method for computing normal forms of dynamical systems with a coupled cell network structure. We now apply this theory to one-parameter families of homogeneous feed-forward chains with…
We construct algorithms and topological invariants that allow us to distinguish the topological type of a surface, as well as functions and vector fields for their topological equivalence. In the first part (arXiv:2501.15657), we discused…
