This article addresses mixing and diffusion properties of passive scalars advected by rough ($C^\alpha$) shear flows. We show that in general, one cannot expect a rough shear flow to increase the rate of inviscid mixing to more than that of…

We consider the advection-diffusion equation on $\mathbb{T}^2$ with a Lipschitz and time-periodic velocity field that alternates between two piecewise linear shear flows. We prove enhanced dissipation on the timescale $|\log \nu|$, where…

In this paper, we first present a Gearhardt-Pr\"uss type theorem with a sharp bound for m-accretive operators. Then we give two applications: (1) give a simple proof of the result proved by Constantin et al. on relaxation enhancement…

Motivated in part by the work of Vanneste and Byatt-Smith, we study mixing and enhanced dissipation for the advection-diffusion equation with velocity field $\mathbf{u}(x,y,t)=(\sin(y-ct),0)$, a shear flow whose profile translates rigidly…

It is proved that all special flows over the rotation by an irrational $\alpha$ with bounded partial quotients and under $f$ which is piecewise absolutely continuous with a non-zero sum of jumps are mildly mixing. Such flows are also shown…

We study the dynamics of the Teichmuller flow in the moduli space of Abelian differentials (and more generally, its restriction to any connected component of a stratum). We show that the (Masur-Veech) absolutely continuous invariant…

On a compact manifold of any dimension $d\geq 3$, we show that joint non-integrability of the stable and unstable foliation of a hyperbolic attractor with one-dimensional expanding direction, for a vector field of class $C^2$, implies…

Monotonic surfaces spanning finite regions of $Z^d$ arise in many contexts, including DNA-based self-assembly, card-shuffling and lozenge tilings. One method that has been used to uniformly generate these surfaces is a Markov chain that…

A plane turbulent mixing in a shear flow of an ideal homogeneous fluid confined between two relatively close rigid walls is considered. The character of the flow is determined by interaction of vortices arising at the nonlinear stage of the…

Even in simple geometries many complex fluids display non-trivial flow fields, with regions where shear is concentrated. The possibility for such shear banding has been known since several decades, but the recent years have seen an upsurge…

We provide examples of initial data which saturate the enhanced diffusion rates proved for general shear flows which are H\"{o}lder regular or Lipschitz continuous with critical points, and for regular circular flows, establishing the…

We propose a generative multivariate posterior sampler via flow matching. It offers a simple training objective, and does not require access to likelihood evaluation. The method learns a dynamic, block-triangular velocity field in the joint…

We consider the advection-diffusion equation describing the evolution of a passive scalar in a background shear flow. We prove the optimal uniform-in-diffusivity mixing rate $\| f \|_{H^{-1}} \lesssim \langle t \rangle^{-1/(N+1)}$, $t \geq…

For a compact three-dimensional smooth Riemannian manifold of strictly 1/4-pinched negative sectional curvature, we establish exponential mixing of the frame flow with respect to the normalized volume. More generally this result extends to…

We study mixing and diffusion properties of passive scalars driven by $generic$ rough shear flows. Genericity is here understood in the sense of prevalence and (ir)regularity is measured in the Besov-Nikolskii scale $B^{\alpha}_{1,…
