We study actions by higher-rank abelian groups on quotients of semisimple Lie groups with finite center. First, we consider actions arising from the flows of two commuting elements of the Lie algebra--one nilpotent, and the other…
The classical representation of Hamiltonian systems in terms of action-angle variables are defined for simply connected domains such as an interior of a homoclinic orbit. On this basis methods of (local) perturbations leading, in…
For a smooth (locally trivial) principal bundle in Ehresmann's sense, the relation between the commuting vertical and horizontal actions of the structural Lie group and the structural Lie groupoid (isomorphisms between vertical fibers) is…
It has been known for several decades that classical alternating links in the 3-sphere have nice hyperbolic geometric properties. Recent work generalises such results to give hyperbolic geometry of links with alternating projections onto…
Relativistic action-at-a-distance theories with interactions that propagate at the speed of light in vacuum are investigated. We consider the most general action depending on the velocities and relative positions of the particles. The…
Directly interacting particles are considered in the multitime formalism of predictive relativistic mechanics. When the equations of motion leave a phase-space volume invariant, it turns out that the phase average of any first integral,…
We establish that the asymptotic mean action and the asymptotic linking number of irrational pseudo-rotations remain well-defined everywhere and constant for every $C^{1}$ irrational pseudo-rotation that behaves as a rotation on the…
For stationary, homogeneous Markov processes (viz., L\'{e}vy processes, including Brownian motion) in dimension $d\geq 3$, we establish an exact formula for the average number of $(d-1)$-dimensional facets that can be defined by $d$ points…
We derive a recursion relation of the Feynman diagrams of the effective action for the third Legendre transformation in case of the bosonic field theory with cubic interaction. We apply the recursion relation to obtain the Feynman diagrams…
This text presents some basic notions in symplectic geometry, Poisson geometry, Hamiltonian systems, Lie algebras and Lie groups actions on symplectic or Poisson manifolds, momentum maps and their use for the reduction of Hamiltonian…
Lattice paths effectively model phenomena in chemistry, physics and probability theory. Asymptotic enumeration of lattice paths is linked with entropy in the physical systems being modeled. Lattice paths restricted to different regions of…
We find that Koschorke's $\beta$-invariant and the triple $\mu$-invariant of link maps in the critical dimension can be computed as degrees of certain maps of configuration spaces - just like the linking number. Both formulas admit…
Working at the Lifshitz level, we investigate the van der Waals interactions across a series of layers with a periodic motif. We derive the complete form of the van der Waals interaction as an explicit function of the number of periodic…
A framework for understanding the geometry of continuous actions of Z^d was developed by Boyle and Lind using the notion of expansive behavior along lower-dimensional subspaces. For algebraic Z^d-actions of entropy rank one, the expansive…
We prove that, for a $C^\infty$-generic contact form $\lambda$ adapted to a given contact distribution on a closed three-manifold, there exists a sequence of periodic Reeb orbits which is equidistributed with respect to $d\lambda$. This is…
This survey explores the geometry of three-dimensional Anosov flows from the perspective of contact and symplectic geometry, following the work of Mitsumatsu, Eliashberg-Thurston, Hozoori, and the author. We also present a few original…
We present an exact, unconstrained representation of the electron operators in terms of operators of opposite statistics. We propose a path--integral representation for the $t$-$J$ model and introduce a parameter controlling the…
We study numerically the induction mechanisms generated from an array of helical motions distributed along a cylinder. Our flow is a very idealized geometry of the columnar structure that has been proposed for the convective motion inside…
We study the behavior of the random walk in a continuum independent long-range percolation model, in which two given vertices $x$ and $y$ are connected with probability that asymptotically behaves like $|x-y|^{-\alpha}$ with $\alpha>d$,…
A three-phase contact line in a three-phase fluid system is modeled by a mean-field density functional theory. We use a variational approach to find the Euler-Lagrange equations. Analytic solutions are obtained in the two-phase regions at…
