For a wide class of curvature energy functionals defined for planar curves under the fixed-length constraint, we obtain optimal necessary conditions for global and local minimizers. Our results extend Maddocks' and Sachkov's rigidity…

It is shown in the paper "Variational Properties of the Gauss-Bonnet Curvatures" of M.L. Labbi, that metrics with constant 2k-Gauss-Bonnet curvature on a closed n-dimensional manifold, 1<2k<n, are critical points for a certain Hilbert type…

In this article we consider the motion of two bodies under the action of a Manev central force. We obtain the radius of the circular orbit and analyze its stability in sense of Lyapunov. Drawn on the first integrals of angular momentum and…

In this paper, we prove that manifolds of finite volume with Anosov geodesic flow have dense periodic orbits. The same result works for conservative Anosov flows in non-compact cases.

In this paper, we construct new, uniformly-rotating solutions of the vortex sheet equation bifurcating from circles with constant vorticity amplitude. The proof is accomplished via a Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction and a second order expansion…

This paper studies the uniformly asymptotic stability of nonautonomous systems on Riemannian manifolds. We establish corresponding Lyapunov-type theorems (Theorems 2.1 and 2.2), extending classical Euclidean results (e.g., [9, Theorems 4.9…

We apply the matching functions technique in the setting of contact Anosov flows which satisfy a bunching assumption. This allows us to generalize the 3-dimensional rigidity result of Feldman-Ornstein~\cite{FO}. Namely, we show that if two…

On a Riemannian 2-torus $(T^2,g)$ we study the geodesic flow in the case of low complexity described by zero topological entropy. We show that this assumption implies a nearly integrable behavior. In our previous paper \cite{GK} we already…

We prove the stability of the critical hypersurfaces associated with the three-dimensional general relativistic Poynting-Robertson effect. The equatorial ring configures to be as a stable attractor and the whole critical hypersurface as a…

In this article, we establish the Hopf-Tsuji-Sullivan dichotomy for geodesic flows on certain manifolds with no conjugate points: either the geodesic flow is conservative and ergodic, or it is completely dissipative and non-ergodic. We also…

We consider a smooth area-preserving Anosov diffeomorphism $f\colon \mathbb T^2\rightarrow \mathbb T^2$ homotopic to an Anosov automorphism $L$ of $\mathbb T^2$. It is known that the positive Lyapunov exponent of $f$ with respect to the…

We study the regularity of the Lyapunov exponent for quasi-periodic cocycles $(T_\omega, A)$ where $T_\omega$ is an irrational rotation $x\to x+ 2\pi\omega$ on $\SS^1$ and $A\in {\cal C}^l(\SS^1, SL(2,\mathbb{R}))$, $0\le l\le \infty$. For…
