We generalize some of the results of Harvey, Lawson and Latschev about transgression formulas. The focus here is on flowing forms via vertical vector fields, especially Morse-Bott-Smale vector fields. We prove a very general transgression…
We introduce a new variational method for finding periodic orbits of flows and spatio-temporally periodic solutions of classical field theories, a generalization of the Newton method to a flow in the space of loops. The feasibility of the…
We are concerned with the theory of existence and uniqueness of flows generated by divergence free vector fields with compact support. Hence, assuming that the velocity vector fields are measurable, bounded, and the flows in the Euclidean…
In this paper we consider convex subsets of locally-convex topological vector spaces. Given a fixed point in such a convex subset, we show that there exists a curve completely contained in the convex subset and leaving the point in a given…
In this paper, we extend our previous result from [16]. We prove that transport equations with rough coefficients do possess a uniqueness property. Our method relies strongly on duality and bears a strong resemblance with the well-known…
The well known formula $[X,Y]=\tfrac12\tfrac{\partial^2}{\partial t^2}|_0 (\Fl^Y_{-t}\o\Fl^X_{-t}\o\Fl^Y_t\o\Fl^X_t)$ for vector fields $X$, $Y$ is generalized to arbitrary bracket expressions and arbitrary curves of local diffeomorphisms.
We study the Lagrangian trajectories of statistically isotropic, homogeneous, and stationary divergence free spatiotemporal random vector fields. We design this advecting Eulerian velocity field such that it gets asymptotically rough and…
This paper analyzes the Lamb vector divergence, also called the hydrodynamic charge density, and its implications to the Navier-Stokes system. It is shown that the pressure field can be always chosen in a way that ensures regularity of the…
By establishing a characterization for Sobolev differentiability of random fields, we prove the weak differentiability of solutions to stochastic differential equations with local Sobolev and super-linear growth coefficients with respect to…
The papers describes an easy approach, based on a classical construction by Dacorogna and Moser, to prove that optimal vector fields in some minimal flow problem linked to optimal transport models (congested traffic, branched transport,…
We prove that a vector field on an affine $C^\infty$-scheme Spec(A) has a flow if the $C^\infty$-ring A is finitely generated. If the vector field is complete then the flow is the target map of a groupoid internal to the category of…
A closure theory is developed for inhomogeneous turbulent flow, which enables a systematic derivation of the turbulence constitutive relations without relying on any empirical parameters. Renormalized-perturbation approximation is performed…
The Hamiltonian formulation of superfluids based on noncanonical Poisson brackets is studied in detail. The assumption that the momentum density is proportional to the flow of the conserved energy is shown to lead to the covariant…
This paper surveys results found by the authors in the previous papers (see for example, A. Duyunova, V. Lychagin, S. Tychkov, Differential invariants for spherical layer flows of a viscid fluid, Journal of Geometry and Physics, 130,…
The theory of flows was used as a crucial tool in the recent proof by Margolis, Rhodes and Schilling that Krohn-Rhodes complexity is decidable. In this paper we begin a systematic study of aperiodic flows. We give the foundations of the…
For linear flows on vector bundles, it is analyzed when subbundles in the Selgrade decomposition yield chain transitive subsets for the induced flow on the associated Poincar\'e sphere bundle.
We provide in this article a new proof of the uniqueness of the flow solution to ordinary differential equations with $BV$ vector-fields that have divergence in $L^\infty$ (or in $L^1$) and that are nearly incompressible (see the text for…
New elementary, self-contained proofs are presented for the topological and the smooth classification theorems of linear flows on finite-dimensional normed spaces. The arguments, and the examples that accompany them, highlight the…
A new important relation between fluid mechanics and differential geometry is established. We study smooth steady solutions to the Euler equations with the additional property: the velocity vector is orthogonal to the gradient of the…
Dense distributions of string-like objects in material media are considered in terms of continuum field theory. The strings are assumed to carry a quantized abelian topological charge, such as the Burgers vector of dislocations in solids or…
