In an incompressible flow, fluid density remains invariant along fluid element trajectories. This implies that the spatial distribution of non-interacting noninertial particles in such flows cannot develop density inhomogeneities beyond…
We show that the standard Heisenberg algebra of quantum mechanics admits a noncommutative differential calculus $\Omega^1$ depending on the Hamiltonian $p^2/2m + V(x)$, and a flat quantum connection $\nabla$ with torsion such that a…
In this paper, we show how the restriction of the Quantum Geometric Tensor to manifolds of states that can be generated through local interactions provides a new tool to understand the consequences of locality in physics. After a review of…
We study the geodesic flow of geometrically finite quotients $\Omega/{\Gamma}$ of Hilbert geometries, in particular its recurrence properties. We prove that, under a geometrical assumption on the cusps, the geodesic flow is uniformly…
Vorticity in turbulent flows is often organized into complex geometries that influence the dynamics. We use a relatively novel approach to describe these geometries: that of obtaining segments of vortex lines embedded in the flow. This…
Paths in an appropriate geometry are usually used as trajectories of test particles in geometric theories of gravity. It is shown that non-symmetric geometries possess some interesting quantum features. Without carrying out any quantization…
We investigate the geodesics in the entire class of nonexpanding impulsive gravitational waves propagating in an (anti-)de Sitter universe using the distributional form of the metric. Employing a 5-dimensional embedding formalism and a…
The geodesic equation encodes test-particle dynamics at arbitrary gravitational coupling, hence retaining all orders in the post-Minkowskian (PM) expansion. Here we explore what geodesic motion can tell us about dynamical scattering in the…
The formation of quantized vortices is a unifying feature of quantum mechanical systems, making it a premier means for fundamental and comparative studies of different quantum fluids. Being excited states of motion, vortices are normally…
Quantum geometry of the electron wave function plays a significant role in the linear and non-linear responses of crystalline materials. Here, we study quantum geometry induced second harmonic generation. We identify non-linear responses…
In this paper, we construct a geometrical compactification of the geodesic flow of non-compact complete hyperbolic surfaces $\Sigma$ without cusps having finitely generated fundamental group. We study the dynamical properties of the…
We show that the non-Abelian nature of geometric fluxes---the corner-stone in the definition of quantum geometry in the framework of loop quantum gravity (LQG)---follows directly form the continuum canonical commutations relations of…
The fact that the modular template coincides with the Lorenz template, discovered by Ghys, implies modular knots have very peculiar properties. We obtain a generalization of these results to other Hecke triangle groups. In this context, the…
A nonrelativistic quantum mechanical particle moving freely on a curved surface feels the effect of the nontrivial geometry of the surface through the kinetic part of the Hamiltonian, which is proportional to the Laplace-Beltrami operator,…
We derive the geodesic equation for point particles propagating in Moyal-type noncommutative spacetimes using a field-theoretic approach based on the quasi-classical limit of the noncommutative Klein-Gordon equation. Starting from a…
Geometric flows have proved to be a powerful geometric analysis tool, perhaps most notably in the study of 3-manifold topology, the differentiable sphere theorem, Hermitian-Yang-Mills connections and canonical Kaehler metrics. In the…
We describe the effects of geometric torsion on the coherent motion of electrons along a thin twisted quantum ring. The geometric torsion inherent in the quantum ring triggers a quantum phase shift in the electrons' eigenstates, thereby…
Anosov geodesic flows are among the simplest mathematical models of deterministic chaos. In this survey we explain how, quite unexpectedly, quantum dynamics emerges from purely classical correlation functions. The underlying mechanism is…
We study the relation between quantum computational complexity and general relativity. The quantum computational complexity is proposed to be quantified by the shortest length of geodesic quantum curves. We examine the complexity/volume…
I argue that the linearity of quantum mechanics is an emergent feature at the Planck scale, along with the manifold structure of space-time. In this regime the usual causality violation objections to nonlinearity do not apply, and nonlinear…
