This paper is part of a program that aims to understand the connection between the emergence of chaotic behaviour in dynamical systems in relation with the multi-valuedness of the solutions as functions of complex time $\tau$. In this work…
We study solutions of the 2D Ginzburg-Landau equation -\Delta u+\frac{1}{\ve^2}u(|u|^2-1)=0 subject to "semi-stiff" boundary conditions: the Dirichlet condition for the modulus, |u|=1, and the homogeneous Neumann condition for the phase.…
We prove the existence of non-constant time periodic vortex solutions to the Gross-Pitaevskii equations for small but \textit{fixed} $\varepsilon > 0.$ The vortices of these solutions follow periodic orbits to the point vortex system of…

A Riemannian geometry of noncommutative n-dimensional surfaces is developed as a first step towards the construction of a consistent noncommutative gravitational theory. Historically, as well, Riemannian geometry was recognized to be the…
On a two-dimensional Riemannian manifold without boundary we consider the variational limit of a family of functionals given by the sum of two terms: a Ginzburg-Landau and a perimeter term. Our scaling allows low-energy states to be…
We set up general equations of motion for point vortex systems on closed Riemannian surfaces, allowing for the case that the sum of vorticities is not zero and there hence must be counter-vorticity present. The dynamics of global…
We use algebraic topology to investigate local curvature properties of the moduli spaces of gauged vortices on a closed Riemann surface. After computing the homotopy type of the universal cover of the moduli spaces (which are symmetric…
Symplectic geometry of the vortex filament in a curved three-manifold is investigated. There appears an infinite sequence of constants of motion in involution in the case of constant curvature. The Duistermaat-Heckman formula is examined…
