In this paper, we study dynamics of geodesic flows over closed surfaces of genus greater than or equal to 2 without focal points. Especially, we prove that there is a large class of potentials having unique equilibrium states, including…

Consider a pair of smooth, possibly noncompact, properly immersed hypersurfaces moving by mean curvature flow, or, more generally, a pair of weak set flows. We prove that if the ambient space is Euclidean space and if the distance between…

We construct a complete invariant for non-wandering surface flows with finitely many singular points but without locally dense orbits. Precisely, we show that a flow $v$ with finitely many singular points on a compact connected surface $S$…

We prove a quantitative version of the non-uniform hyperbolicity of the Teichm\"uller geodesic flow. Namely, at each point of any Teichm\"uller flow line, we bound the infinitesimal spectral gap for variations of the Hodge norm along the…

Steady fluid flows have very special topology. In this paper we describe necessary and sufficient conditions on the vorticity function of a 2D ideal flow on a surface with or without boundary, for which there exists a steady flow among…

Let $(\phi_t)$ be an area-preserving smooth flow on a compact, connected, orientable surface $\mathcal M$ with at least one but finitely many fixed points. Assume that $(\phi_t)$ is analytic (up to a canonical change of coordinates) in the…

We show that the mean curvature flow of a generic closed surface in $\mathbb{R}^3$ avoids multiplicity one tangent flows that are not round spheres/cylinders. In particular, we show that any non-cylindrical self-shrinker with a cylindrical…

We motivate and discuss several recent results on non-existence of irrotational inviscid flow around bounded solids that have two or more protruding corners, complementing classical results for the case of a single protruding corner. For a…

We consider smooth flows preserving a smooth invariant measure, or, equivalently, locally Hamiltonian flows on compact orientable surfaces and show that, when the genus of the surface is two, almost every such locally Hamiltonian flow with…

On the unit tangent bundle of a nonflat compact nonpositively curved surface, we prove that there is a unique probability Borel measure invariant by a horocyclic flow which gives full measure to the set of rank $1$ vectors recurrent by the…

A convex surface contracting by a strictly monotone, homogeneous degree one function of curvature remains smooth until it contracts to a point in finite time, and is asymptotically spherical in shape. No assumptions are made on the…

The ergodic properties of two uncoupled oscillators, a horizontal and vertical one, residing in a class of non rectangular star-shaped polygons with only vertical and horizontal boundaries and impacting elastically from its boundaries are…

We consider the area-preserving Willmore evolution of surfaces that are close to a half-sphere with a small radius, sliding on the boundary S of a domain while meeting it orthogonally. We prove that the flow exists for all times and keeps a…

We exhibit orbits of the geodesic flow on a hyperbolic surface with at least one cusp such that every tubular neighborhood contains uncountably many distinct geodesic flow orbits. The proof relies on new phenomena, namely the existence of…

We consider typical area preserving flows on higher genus surfaces and prove that the flow restricted to mixing minimal components is mixing of all orders, thus answering affimatively to Rohlin's multiple mixing question in this context.…

Arnol'd and Kochergin mixing conservative flows on surfaces stand as the main and almost only natural class of mixing transformations for which higher order mixing has not been established, nor disproved. Under suitable arithmetic…

We investigate topological propeties of flows with one singular point and without closed orbits on the 2-dimensional disk. To classify such flows, destingueshed graph is used, which is a two-colored rooted tree imbedded in the plane. We…

We consider structure of typical gradient flows bifurcations on closed surfaces with minimal number of singular points. There are two type of such bifurcations: saddle-node (SN) and saddle connections (SC). The structure of a bifurcation is…

We construct families of smooth affine surfaces with pairwise non isomorphic A 1-cylinders but whose A 2-cylinders are all isomorphic. These arise as complements of cuspidal hyperplane sections of smooth projective cubic surfaces.

Incompressible flows of an ideal two-dimensional fluid on a closed orientable surface of positive genus are considered. Linear stability of harmonic, i.e. irrotational and incompressible, solutions to the Euler equations is shown using the…
