We investigate stability properties of a type of periodic solutions of the $N$-vortex problem on general domains $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^2$. The solutions in question bifurcate from rigidly rotating configurations of the whole-plane…

We consider the $N$-vortex problem on the sphere assuming that all vorticities have equal strength. We investigate relative equilibria (RE) consisting of $n$ latitudinal rings which are uniformly rotating about the vertical axis with…

We undertake a novel approach to the existence problem for gravitating vortices on a Riemann surface based on symplectic reduction by stages, which seems to be new in the PDE as well as the gauge theory literature. The main technical tool…

We study systems formed of 2N point vortices on a sphere with N vortices of strength +1 and N vortices of strength -1. In this case, the Hamiltonian is conserved by the symmetry which exchanges the positive vortices with the negative…

We prove the existence of critical points of the $N$-vortex Hamiltonian $H_\Omega (x_1,\ldots, x_N) =\sum\limits^N_{i=1}\Gamma^2_i h(x_i) + \sum\limits_{i,j=1\atop j\not= k}^N…

We study the dynamics of $N$ point vortices on a rotating sphere. The Hamiltonian system becomes infinite dimensional due to the non-uniform background vorticity coming from the Coriolis force. We prove that a relative equilibrium formed of…

We show that certain infinitesimal operators of the Lie-point symmetries of the incompressible 3D Navier-Stokes equations give rise to vortex solutions with different characteristics. This approach allows an algebraic classification of…

We consider the vortex equations for a U(n) gauge field coupled to a Higgs field with values on the n times n square matrices. It is known that when these equations are defined on a compact Riemann surface, their moduli space of solutions…

We consider $N$ point vortices $s_j$ of strengths $\kappa_j$ moving on a closed (compact, boundaryless, orientable) surface $S$ with riemannian metric $g$. As far as we know, only the sphere or surfaces of revolution, the latter…

In the present paper a description of a problem of point vortices on a plane and a sphere in the "internal" variables is discussed. The hamiltonian equations of motion of vortices on a plane are built on the Lie-Poisson algebras, and in the…

We prove the existence of critical points of vortex type Hamiltonians \[ H(p_1,\ldots, p_N) = \sum_{{i,j=1},{i\ne j}}^N \Gamma_i\Gamma_jG(p_i,p_j)+\psi(p_1,\dots,p_N) \] on a closed Riemannian surface $(\Sigma,g)$ which is not homeomorphic…

This paper gives an analysis of the movement of n vortices on the sphere. When the vortices have equal circulation, there is a polygonal solution that rotates uniformly around its center. The main result concerns the global existence of…

We investigate the geometry of the moduli space of N-vortices on line bundles over a closed Riemann surface of genus g > 1, in the little explored situation where 1 =< N < g. In the regime where the area of the surface is just large enough…

We investigate the relationship between rigid motions and relative equilibria in the N-body problem on the two-dimensional sphere, S2. We prove that any rigid motion of the N-body system on S2 must be a relative equilibrium. Our approach…
