Four classic criteria used to the classification of complex flows are discussed here. These criteria are useful to identify regions of the flow related to shear, elongation or rigid-body motion. These usual criteria, namely $Q$, $\Delta$,…

We construct the solution to the periodic Cauchy problem of the Schr\"odinger flow on the sphere. Such construction of solutions is formulated explicitly and therefore a geometric algorithm of solving this periodic Cauchy problem follows.…
