One field of fluid dynamics concerns the search for variational principles. So far, the Hamiltonian view and Riemannian geometry has been applied to find geodesics for hydrodynamic systems. Compared to Riemannian geometry sub-Riemannian…

We classify real hypersurfaces with isometric Reeb flow in the complex quadrics Q^m for m > 2. We show that m is even, say m = 2k, and any such hypersurface is an open part of a tube around a k-dimensional complex projective space CP^k…

In this paper we produce a lower bound for the number of periodic orbits of certain Hamiltonian vector fields near Bott-nondegenerate symplectic critical submanifolds. This result is then related to the problem of finding closed orbits of…

This paper investigates sub-Riemannian geodesics within the jet space of curves. We establish the existence of two distinct families of metric lines, that is, globally minimizing geodesics, in the $2$-jet space of plane curves. This result…

We prove complete integrability of the Manakov-type SO(n)-invariant geodesic flows on homogeneous spaces $SO(n)/SO(k_1)\times...\times SO(k_r)$, for any choice of $k_1,...,k_r$, $k_1+...+k_r\le n$. In particular, a new proof of the…

We study the geodesic flow of geometrically finite quotients $\Omega/{\Gamma}$ of Hilbert geometries, in particular its recurrence properties. We prove that, under a geometrical assumption on the cusps, the geodesic flow is uniformly…

We study ergodic averages for a class of pseudodifferential operators on the flat N-dimensional torus with respect to the Schr\"odinger evolution. The later can be consider a quantization of the geodesic flow on $\bT^N$. We prove that, up…

We study the classification of area-stationary and stable $C^2$ regular surfaces in the space of the rigid motions of the Minkowski plane E(1,1), equipped with its sub-Riemannian structure. We construct examples of area-stationary surfaces…

The Euler equation of an ideal (i.e. inviscid incompressible) fluid can be regarded, following V.Arnold, as the geodesic flow of the right-invariant $L^2$-metric on the group of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms of the flow domain. In this…

We calculate the asymptotic average rate at which a generic geodesic on a finite area hyperbolic 2-orbifold returns to a subsurface with geodesic boundary. As a consequence we get the average time a generic geodesic spends in such a…

We extend the classical result of Lyusternik and Fet on the existence of closed geodesics to singular spaces. We show that if $X$ is a compact geodesic metric space satisfying the CAT($\kappa $) condition for some fixed $\kappa >0$ and…

For the Newtonian \(N\)-body problem at nonnegative energy, we study solution sets selected by the Jacobi--Maupertuis variational principle and by the associated stationary Hamilton--Jacobi equation. We prove a compactness/stability theorem…

In Carnot groups of step 3, all subriemannian geodesics are proved to be normal. The proof is based on a reduction argument and the Goh condition for minimality of singular curves. The Goh condition is deduced from a reformulation and a…

Let $M$ be a smooth manifold and $\mathcal{S}$ a semi-spray defined on a sub-bundle $\mathcal{C}$ of the tangent bundle $TM$. In this work it is proved that the only non-trivial $k$-jet approximation to the exact geodesic deviation equation…

We study the existence of closed geodesics on compact Riemannian orbifolds, and on noncompact Riemannian manifolds in the presence of a cocompact, isometric group action. We show that every noncontractible Riemannian manifold which admits…

We present a survey on generic singularities of geodesic flows in smooth signature changing metrics (often called pseudo-Riemannian) in dimension 2. Generically, a pseudo-Riemannian metric on a 2-manifold $S$ changes its signature…

Equilibrium, traveling wave, and periodic orbit solutions of pipe, channel, and plane Couette flows can now be computed precisely at Reynolds numbers above the onset of turbulence. These invariant solutions capture the complex dynamics of…
