This work is concerned with an optimal control problem on a Riemannian manifold, for which two typical cases are considered. The first case is when the endpoint is free. For this case, the control set is assumed to be a separable metric…

We consider homoclinic solutions for Hamiltonian systems in symplectic Hilbert spaces and generalise spectral flow formulas that were proved by Pejsachowicz and the author in finite dimensions some years ago. Roughly speaking, our main…

We compare Lagrangian thimbles for the potential of a Landau-Ginzburg model to the Morse theory of its real part. We explore Landau-Ginzburg models defined using Lie theory, constructing their real Lagrangian thimbles explicitly and…

We investigate the rudiments of Riemannian geometry on orbit spaces $M/G$ for isometric proper actions of Lie groups on Riemannian manifolds. Minimal geodesic arcs are length minimising curves in the metric space $M/G$ and they can hit…

We study the second order invariants of a Lorentzian surface in $\mathbb{R}^{2,2},$ and the curvature hyperbolas associated to its second fundamental form. Besides the four natural invariants, new invariants appear in some degenerate…

We prove a version of the Poincar\'e-Bendixson theorem for certain classes of curves on the 2-sphere which are not required to be the trajectories of an underlying flow or semiflow on the sphere itself. Using this result we extend the…
