We show a rigidity result for 3-dimensional contact Axiom A flows: given two 3D contact Axiom A flows $\Phi_1,\Phi_2$ whose restrictions $\Phi_1|_{\Lambda_1},\Phi_2|_{\Lambda_2}$ to basic sets $\Lambda_1,\Lambda_2$ are orbit equivalent, we…

We develop a rigidity theory for frameworks in $\mathbb{R}^3$ which have two coincident points but are otherwise generic and only infinitesimal motions which are tangential to a family of cylinders induced by the realisation are considered.…

We use Hamiltonian Floer theory to recover and generalize a classic rigidity theorem of Ekelend and Lasry. That theorem can be rephrased as an assertion about the existence of multiple closed Reeb orbits for certain tight contact forms on…

We study curve-shortening flow for twisted curves in $\mathbb{R}^3$ (i.e., curves with nowhere vanishing curvature $\kappa$ and torsion $\tau$) and define a notion of torsion-curvature entropy. Using this functional, we show that either the…

We investigate the existence of stationary and traveling wave solutions to the 2D Euler equations near the Couette flow in the infinite channel $\mathbb{R} \times [-1,1]$. For Sobolev spaces $W^{s,p}$ or H\"older spaces $C^s$, we identify…

A compactness theorem is proved for a family of K\"{a}hler surfaces with constant scalar curvature and volume bounded from below, diameter bounded from above, Ricci curvature bounded and the signature bounded from below. Furthermore, a…

We prove that any group acting essentially without a fixed point at infinity on an irreducible finite-dimensional CAT(0) cube complex contains a rank one isometry. This implies that the Rank Rigidity Conjecture holds for CAT(0) cube…

The aim of this work is to prove $C^1$ weak Palis conjecture for nonsingular flows. Weak Palis conjecture claims that a generic vector field either is Morse-Smale or exhibits horseshoes. Central model is come up with by Crovisier to obtain…

We propose that the broad architecture of the renormalization group flow in quantum field theories is, at least in part, fixed by unitarity. The precise statement is summarized in the Unitarity Flow Conjecture, which states that the…

Examples of space-times are given which contain scalar curvature singularities whereat the metric tensor is regular and continuous, but which are gravitationally strong. Thus the argument that such singularities are necessarily weak is…

We establish a rigidity result for the unstable foliations of transitive Anosov flows on 3-manifolds: if the unstable foliations of two such flows are equivalent (that is, if there exists a homeomorphism mapping one foliation to the other),…

We prove the Multiplicity One Conjecture for mean curvature flows of surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$. Specifically, we show that any blow-up limit of such mean curvature flows has multiplicity one. This has several applications. First, combining…

In this article we consider Cherry flows on torus which have two singularities: a source and a saddle, and no periodic orbits. We show that every Cherry flow admits a unique physical measure, whose basin has full volume. This proves a…
