We study $2$-dimensional unit vector flows on graphs, that is, nowhere-zero flows that assign to each oriented edge a unit vector in $\mathbb R^{3}$. We give a new geometric characterization of $\mathbb S^{2}$-flows on cubic graphs. We also…
Assuming a-priori a smooth generating vector field, we introduce a generally covariant measure of the flow geometry called the referential gradient of the flow. The main result is the explicit relation between the referential gradient and…
The main result in this paper is the $C^{\infty}$ closing lemma for a large family of Hamiltonian flows on $4$-dimensional symplectic manifolds, which includes classical Hamiltonian systems. First we prove the $C^{\infty}$ closing lemma and…
This paper is the third in a series that researches the Morse Theory, gradient flows, concavity and complexity on smooth compact manifolds with boundary. Employing the local analytic models from \cite{K2}, for \emph{traversally generic…
Vectors fields defined on surfaces constitute relevant and useful representations but are rarely used. One reason might be that comparing vector fields across two surfaces of the same genus is not trivial: it requires to transport the…
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 $(M,X)$.
We give a classification of generic coadjoint orbits for the groups of symplectomorphisms and Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of a closed symplectic surface. We also classify simple Morse functions on symplectic surfaces with respect to actions…
Instantaneous features of three-dimensional velocity fields are most directly visualized via streamsurfaces. It is generally unclear, however, which streamsurfaces one should pick for this purpose, given that infinitely many such surfaces…
Making use of theory of differentiable stacks, we study symplectic vortex equations over a compact orbifold Riemann surface. We discuss the category of representable morphisms from a compact orbifold Riemann surface to a quotient stack.…
In this paper we characterize completely the global hypoellipticity and global solvability in the sense of Komatsu (of Roumieu and Beurling types) of constant-coefficients vector fields on compact Lie groups. We also analyze the influence…
We introduce the gradient flow of the Seiberg-Witten functional on a compact, orientable Riemannian 4-manifold and show the global existence of a unique smooth solution to the flow. The flow converges uniquely in $C^\infty$ up to gauge to a…
This note shows that the module of smooth vector fields on ${\mathbb{R}}^n$, which are invariant under the linear action of a compact Lie group $G$ is finitely generated by polynomial vector fields on ${\mathbb{R}}^n$ which are invariant…
If $X$ is a manifold then the set $C^\infty(X)$ of smooth functions $f:X\to\mathbb R$ is a $C^\infty$-ring, a rich algebraic structure with many operations. $C^\infty$-schemes are schemes over $C^\infty$-rings, a way of using…
Recently, J. Streets and G. Tian introduced a natural way to evolve an almost-K\"ahler manifold called the symplectic curvature flow, in which the metric, the symplectic structure and the almost-complex structure are all evolving. We study…
The normal form theory for polynomial vector fields is extended to those for $C^\infty$ vector fields vanishing at the origin. Explicit formulas for the $C^\infty$ normal form and the near identity transformation which brings a vector field…
We study the cohomological equation for a smooth vector field on a compact manifold. We show that if the vector field is cohomology free, then it can be embedded continuously in a linear flow on an Abelian group.
The purpose of this paper is presenting a theoretical basis for the study of $\omega$-Hamiltonian vector fields in a more general approach than the classical one. We introduce the concepts of $\omega$-symplectic group and…
We give an overview of the existence and regularity results for curvature flows and how these flows can be used to solve some problems in geometry and physics.
We classify the self-similar solutions to a class of Weingarten curvature flow of connected compact convex hypersurfaces, isometrically immersed into space forms with non-positive curvature, and obtain a new characterization of a sphere in…
Non-smooth vector fields does not have necessarily the property of uniqueness of solution passing through a point and this is responsible to enrich the behavior of the system. Even on the plane non-smooth vector fields can be chaotic, a…
