Given any divergence-free vector field of Sobolev class $W^{m,p}_0(\Omega)$ in a bounded open subset $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^2$, we are interested in approximating it in the $W^{m,p}$ norm with divergence-free smooth vector fields…

We show that a unipotent vector bundle on a non-Kaehler compact complex manifold does not admit a flat holomorphic connection in general. We also construct examples of topologically trivial stable vector bundle on compact Gauduchon manifold…

In his study of amenable unitary representations, M. E. B. Bekka asked if there is an analogue for such representations of the remarkable fixed-point property for amenable groups. In this paper, we prove such a fixed-point theorem in the…

We construct the space of vector fields on a generic quantum group. Its elements are products of elements of the quantum group itself with left invariant vector fields. We study the duality between vector fields and 1-forms and generalize…

Let $T$ be a torus of dimension $n>1$ and $M$ a compact $T-$manifold. $M$ is a GKM manifold if the set of zero dimensional orbits in the orbit space $M/T$ is zero dimensional and the set of one dimensional orbits in $M/T$ is one…

We consider the Euler characteristics $\chi(M)$ of closed orientable topological $2n$-manifolds with $(n-1)$-connected universal cover and a given fundamental group $G$ of type $F_n$. We define $q_{2n}(G)$, a generalized version of the…

Equivariant versions of the radial index and of the GSV-index of a vector field or a 1-form on a singular variety with an action of a finite group are defined. They have values in the Burnside ring of the group. Poincar\'e-Hopf type…

If (V,0) is an isolated complete intersection singularity and X a holomorphic vector field tangent to V one can define an index of X, the so called GSV index, which generalizes the Poincare-Hopf index. We prove that the GSV index coincides…

In the vector-field guided path-following problem, a sufficiently smooth vector field is designed such that its integral curves converge to and move along a one-dimensional geometric desired path. The existence of singular points where the…

We prove that the Cuntz-Pimsner algebra O(E) of a vector bundle E over a compact metrizable space X is determined up to an isomorphism of C(X)-algebras by the ideal (1-[E])K(X) of the K-theory ring K(X). Moreover, if E and F are vector…

We propose singular variants of the Singer-Hopf conjecture, formulated in terms of the Euler-Mather characteristic, intersection homology Euler characteristic and, resp., virtual Euler characteristic of a closed irreducible subvariety of an…

In this paper we study the relationship of the Brouwer degree of a vector field with the dynamics of the induced flow. Analogous relations are studied for the index of a vector field. We obtain new forms of the Poincar% \'{e}-Hopf theorem…

Given a compact manifold $M$ equipped with smooth vector fields $X_1,\ldots, X_r$, we consider the generalized Dirichlet energy \[\mathbf{E}(f)= \sum_{j=1}^r\int_M |X_jf|^2\, dm,\] where $dm$ is a volume form, and ask if the set \[…

Let M be a smooth manifold, A a local algebra in sense of Andr\'e Weil, M^{A} the manifold of near points on M of kind A and X(M^{A}) the module of vector fields on M^{A}. We give a new definition of vector fields on M^{A} and we show that…

We define a "circle Euler characteristic" of a circle action on a compact manifold or finite complex X. It lies in the first Hochschild homology group of ZG where G is the fundamental group of X. It is analogous in many ways to the ordinary…

We compute the Euler-Poincar\'e characteristic of the homogeneous compact manifolds that can be described as minimal orbits for the action of a real form in a complex flag manifold.

For a vector field $X$ on a smooth manifold $M$ there exists a smooth but not necessarily Hausdorff manifold $M_\Bbb R$ and a complete vector field $X_\Bbb R$ on it which is the universal completion of $(M,X)$.

A discrete dynamical system in Euclidean m-space generated by the iterates of an asymptotically zero map f, satisfying f(x) goes to zero as x goes to infinity, must have a compact global attracting set $A $. The question of what additional…
