Hamilton's equations are fundamental for modeling complex physical systems, where preserving key properties such as energy and momentum is crucial for reliable long-term simulations. Geometric integrators are widely used for this purpose,…

This paper addresses several isotopy problems on $4$-manifolds. First, we classify the isotopy classes of embeddings of $\Sigma$ in $\Sigma\times S^2$ that are geometrically dual to $\{\mbox{pt}\}\times S^2$, where $\Sigma$ is a closed…

Statistical mechanics arguments and Madelung hydrodynamical presentation are applied to the transport of magma in volcanic conduits. An effective wave equation with logarithmic nonlinearity becomes apparent in systems of this kind, which…

The Almost Hermitian Curvature flow was introduced by Streets and Tian in order to study almost hermitian structures, with a particular interest in symplectic structures. This flow is given by a diffusion-reaction equation. Hence it is…

The geometric non-linear Schrodinger equation (GNLS) on the complex Grassmannian manifold M is the Hamiltonian equation for the energy functional on C(R,M) with respect to the symplectic form induced from the Kahler form on M. It has a Lax…

In this paper, we first establish regularity of the heat flow of biharmonic maps into the unit sphere $S^L\subset\mathbb R^{L+1}$ under a smallness condition of renormalized total energy. For the class of such solutions to the heat flow of…

In this note, we generalise a result of Lalonde, McDuff and Polterovich concerning the $ C^0 $ flux conjecture, thus confirming the conjecture in new cases of a symplectic manifold. Also, we prove the continuity of the flux homomorphism on…

In this paper, we study a class of non-homogeneous anisotropic fully nonlinear curvature flows in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$. More precisely, we consider a hypersurface $M$ in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ deformed by a flow along its unit normal with its…

We study in detail the dynamics of conformal Hamiltonian flows that are defined on a conformal symplectic manifold (this notion was popularized by Vaisman in 1976). We show that they exhibit some conservative and dissipative behaviours. We…

We improve the description of $\mathbb{F}$-limits of noncollapsed Ricci flows in the K\"ahler setting. In particular, the singular strata $\mathcal{S}^k$ of such metric flows satisfy $\mathcal{S}^{2j}=\mathcal{S}^{2j+1}$. We also prove an…

In this paper we use Floer theory to study topological restrictions on Lagrangian embeddings in closed symplectic manifolds. One of the phenomena arising from our results is ``homological rigidity'' of Lagrangian submanifolds. Namely, in…
