In several contexts the defining invariant structures of a hyperbolic dynamical system are smooth only in systems of algebraic origin (smooth rigidity), and we prove new results of this type for a class of flows. For a compact Riemannian…
We introduce a notion of stability for non-autonomous Hamiltonian flows on two-dimensional annular surfaces. This notion of stability is designed to capture the sustained twisting of particle trajectories. The main Theorem is applied to…
Michor and Mumford showed that the mean curvature flow is a gradient flow on a Riemannian structure with a degenerate geodesic distance. It is also known to destroy the uniform density of gridpoints on the evolving surfaces. We introduce a…
We introduce topological conditions on a broad class of functionals that ensure that the persistent homology modules of their associated sublevel set filtration admit persistence diagrams, which, in particular, implies that they satisfy…
We provide a uniform approach to obtain sufficient criteria for a (higher order) fixed point of a given bracket structure on a manifold to be stable under deformations. Examples of bracket structures include Lie algebroids, Lie…
In this paper, we study transversely holomorphic flows, i.e. those whose holonomy pseudo-group is given by biholomorphic maps. We prove that for Anosov flows on smooth compact manifolds, the strong unstable (respectively, stable)…
We prove a conjecture of Hutchings and Lee relating the Seiberg-Witten invariants of a closed 3-manifold X with b_1 > 0 to an invariant that `counts' gradient flow lines--including closed orbits--of a circle-valued Morse function on the…
In this paper, inspired by the work of Guan and Li (2015), we introduce a fourth-order centro-equiaffine invariant curve flow via the affine Minkowski formula. Without any smallness assumptions on the initial curve, we establish the…
In this paper we study the (asymptotic and exponential) stability of the $m$-fold circle as a solution of the $p$-curve shortening flow ($p\geq 1$ an integer).
Let X be a compact oriented Riemannian manifold and let $\phi:X\to S^1$ be a circle-valued Morse function. Under some mild assumptions on $\phi$, we prove a formula relating: (a) the number of closed orbits of the gradient flow of $\phi$ of…
The main objective of this work is to characterize the pathwise local structure of solutions of semilinear stochastic evolution equations (see's) and stochastic partial differential equations (spde's) near stationary solutions. Such…
In this paper we prove a general stability result for higher order geometric flows on the circle, which basically states that if the initial condition is close to a round circle, the curve evolves smoothly and exponentially fast towards a…
In 3-dimensional manifolds, we prove that generically in$Diff^1_m(M)$, the existence of a minimal expanding invariant foliation implies stable Bernoulliness.
Slow and dense granular flows often exhibit narrow shear bands, making them ill-suited for a continuum description. However, smooth granular flows have been shown to occur in specific geometries such as linear shear in the absence of…
We give examples of foliations that answer two questions posed by Mitsumatsu and Vogt about the genus minimising properties of closed leaves of 2-dimensional foliations on 4-manifolds. By studying stable commutator lengths in certain stable…
The variational principle of V. I. Arnold [J. Appl. Math. Mech. Vol. 29, P. 1002 (1965)] is extended to the general conservative inhomogeneous, compressible, and conducting fluid. The concept of iso-vortical flows is generalized to an…
In 1960, Smale defined a filtration of a closed smooth manifold by the unstable manifolds of fixed points and closed orbits of a Morse-Smale vector field defined on it, and derived generalized Morse inequalities. This suggests that,…
This paper meticulously revisit and study the flux geometry of any compact oriented manifold $(M; W)$. We generalize several well-known factorization results, exhibit some orbital conditions for the study of flux geometry, give a proof of…
We investigate here linear stability in a canonical three-dimensional boundary layer generated by the superposition of a spanwise pressure gradient upon an otherwise standard channel flow. As the main result, we introduce a simple…
We study the behaviour of the Laplacian flow evolving closed G$_2$-structures on warped products of the form $M^6\times{\mathbb S}^1$, where the base $M^6$ is a compact 6-manifold endowed with an SU(3)-structure. In the general case, we…
