We give a new proof of the well-known result that the minimal volume vector fields on $\mathbb{S}^3(r)$ are the Hopf vector fields. Such proof relies again on calibration theory, arising here from a systematic point of view given by a…

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…

Biconservative hypersurfaces are hypersurfaces with conservative stress-energy tensor with respect to the bienergy functional, and form a geometrically interesting family which includes that of biharmonic hypersurfaces. In this paper we…

We present a unifying framework of residual domination for (expansions of) henselian valued fields of equicharacteristic zero, encompassing some valued fields with operators. We show that the class of residually dominated types coincides…

In this article, we prove that there exists at least one chord which is characteristic of Reeb vector field connecting a given Legendre submanifold in a closed contact manifold with any contact form.

Let $(Y,\lambda)$ be a non-degenerate contact three manifold. D. Cristfaro-Gardiner, M. Hutshings and D. Pomerleano showed that if $c_{1}(\xi=\mathrm{Ker}\lambda)$ is torsion, then the Reeb vector field of $(Y,\lambda)$ has infinity many…

We prove that if a subset of the d-dimensional vector space over a finite field is large enough, then it contains many k-tuples of mutually orthogonal vectors.

We are generalizing to higher dimensions the Bavard-Ghys construction of the hyperbolic metric on the space of polygons with fixed directions of edges. The space of convex d-dimensional polyhedra with fixed directions of facet normals has a…

We prove that for a $C^\infty$-generic contact form defining a given co-oriented contact structure on a closed $3$-manifold, every hyperbolic periodic Reeb orbit admits a transverse homoclinic connection in each of the branches of its…

We establish some new existence results for global surfaces of section of dynamically convex Reeb flows on the three-sphere. These sections often have genus, and are the result of a combination of pseudo-holomorphic curve methods with some…

We prove that any continuous vector field on a circle is the extension in a suitable sense, of a unique infinitesimal earthquake of the hyperbolic plane. Furthermore, we obtain other extension results when the vector field is assumed only…

We give a possible extension for shears and overshears in the case of two non commutative (quaternionic) variables in relation with the associated vector fields and flows. We present a possible definition of volume preserving automorphisms,…

A result of Honda, Kazez, and Mati\'{c} states that a contact structure is tight if and only if all its supporting open books are right-veering. We show a combinatorial way of detecting the left-veering arcs in open books, implying the…

For a smooth manifold $X$ equipped with a volume form, let $\dL$ be the Lie algebra of volume preserving smooth vector fields on $X$. A. Lichnerowicz proved that the abelianization of $\dL$ is a finite-dimensional vector space, and that its…

Iosevich and Senger (2008) showed that if a subset of the d-dimensional vector space over a finite field is large enough, then it contains many k-tuples of mutually orthogonal vectors. In this note, we provide a graph theoretic proof of…

Let $g:\mathbb{R}^2\to\mathbb{R}$ be a homogeneous polynomial of degree $p>1$, $G=(-g'_{y}, g'_{x})$ be its Hamiltonian vector field, and $G_t$ be the local flow generated by $G$. Denote by $E(G,O)$ the space of germs of $C^{\infty}$…

In this paper we address the following questions: (i) Let $C\subset \mathbb C^2$ be an orbit of a polynomial vector field which has finite total Gaussian curvature. Is $C$ contained in an algebraic curve? (ii) What can be said of a…

We show the existence of formal equivalences between reversible and Hamiltonian vector fields. The main tool we employ is the normal form theory.

In this note, we consider contractible loops of contactomorphisms that are positive over some non-empty closed subset of a contact manifold. Such closed subsets are called immaterial. We argue that the complement of a Reeb-invariant…

Ricci-like solitons with potential Reeb vector field are introduced and studied on almost contact B-metric manifolds. The cases of Sasaki-like manifolds and torse-forming potentials have been considered. In these cases, it is proved that…
