We study integrable Euler equations on the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{gl}(3,\mathbb{R})$ by interpreting them as evolutions on the space of hexagons inscribed in a real cubic curve.
After H\"older proved his classical theorem about the Gamma function, there has been a whole bunch of results showing that solutions to linear difference equations tend to be hypertranscendental i.e. they cannot be solution to an algebraic…
While preparing the correspondence between Leonhard Euler and Christian Goldbach for publication, Martin Mattmueller asked whether the lemma given in the postscript of Euler's letter dated July 26, 1749, was enough for completing the proof…
This note provides an affirmative answer to a question of Viterbo concerning the existence of nondiffeomorphic contact forms that share the same Reeb vector field. Starting from an observation by Croke-Kleiner and Abbondandolo that such…
This work contains an exposition of foundations of the variational calculus in fibered manifolds. The emphasis is laid on the geometric aspects of the theory. Especially functionals defined by real functions (Lagrange functions) or…

We construct global-in-time, unique solutions of the two-dimensional Euler equations in a Yudovich type space and a $\rm bmo$-type space. First, we show the regularity of solutions for the two-dimensional Euler equations in the Spanne space…

We derive hypergeometric formulas for Euler's constant, gamma. A "by-product" of Thomae's transformation is an infinite product for e^gamma involving the binomial coefficients. Alternate, non-hypergeometric proofs use a double integral for…
Euler wants to find rational numbers (integers) x and y such that x+y is a square and x^2+y^2 is a fourth power. He parametrizes these with two other variables that satisfy certain equations.
The Euler discriminant of a family of very affine varieties is defined as the locus where the Euler characteristic drops. In this work, we study the Euler discriminant of families of complements of hyperplanes. We prove that the Euler…
In 1966, Arnold [1] showed that the Lagrangian flow of ideal incompressible fluids (described by Euler equations) coincide with the geodesic flow on the manifold of volume preserving diffeomorphisms of the fluid domain. Arnold's proof and…
We derive all eighteen Gauss hypergeometric representations for the Ferrers function of the second kind, each with a different argument. They are obtained from the eighteen hypergeometric representations of the associated Legendre function…
Whether the 3D incompressible Euler equations can develop a singularity in finite time from smooth initial data is one of the most challenging problems in mathematical fluid dynamics. This work attempts to provide an affirmative answer to…
The first purpose of this note is to comment on a recent article of Bursztyn, Lima and Meinrenken, in which it is proved that if M is a smooth submanifold of a manifold V, then there is a bijection between germs of tubular neighborhoods of…
In this addendum note we fill in the gap left in \cite{ls} in the description of 2D homogeneous solutions to the stationary Euler system with the help of the results of \cite{sd}. This gives a complete classification of all solutions. The…
In this paper, Euler transforms the divergent series in the title, and thereby dervies the well known continued fraction expansion for pi/4 from Leibniz's series. The paper is translated from Euler's Latin originial into German.
We approximate the regular solutions of the incompressible Euler equation by the solution of ODEs on finite-dimensional spaces. Our approach combines Arnold's interpretation of the solution of Euler's equation for incompressible and…
