We present a divergence free vector field in the Sobolev space $H^1$ such that the flow associated to the field does not belong to any Sobolev space. The vector field is deterministic but constructed as the realization of a random field…

For smooth vector fields the classical method of characteristics provides a link between the ordinary differential equation and the corresponding continuity equation (or transport equation). We study an analog of this connection for merely…

This article discusses a relatively new geometric flow, called the hypersymplectic flow. In the first half of the article we explain the original motivating ideas for the flow, coming from both 4-dimensional symplectic topology and…

We are concerned with rigidity properties of steady Euler flows in two-dimensional bounded annuli. We prove that in an annulus, a steady flow with no interior stagnation point and tangential boundary conditions is a circular flow, which…
