We formulate the equations for point vortex dynamics on a closed two dimensional Riemann manifold in the language of affine and other kinds of connections. The speed of a vortex is then expressed in terms of the difference between an affine…
This work formulates and gives grounds for general principles and theorems that question the energy function doctrine and its quantum version as a genuine law of nature without borders of adequacy. The emphasis is on the domain where the…
Classical particle mechanics on curved spaces is related to the flow of ideal fluids, by a dual interpretation of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation. As in second quantization, the procedure relates the description of a system with a finite…
In this thesis, we consider the dynamics of vortices in the easy plane insulating ferromagnet in two dimensions. In addition to the quasiparticle excitations, here spin waves or magnons, this magnetic system admits a family of vortex…

We investigate the dynamics of quantized vortices in a model two-dimensional supersolid. Starting from an effective action that captures the dynamics of the superfluid condensate and its coupling to the lattice displacements, we integrate…
We calculate the Wigner function for massive spin-1/2 particles in an inhomogeneous electromagnetic field to leading order in the Planck constant $\hbar$. Going beyond leading order in $\hbar$ we then derive a generalized Boltzmann equation…
Considering the vorticity formulation of the Euler equations, we partition the kinetic energy into its contribution from each pair of interacting vortices. We call this contribution the "interaction energy". We show that each contribution…
Vortices are commonly observed in the context of classical hydrodynamics: from whirlpools after stirring the coffee in a cup to a violent atmospheric phenomenon such as a tornado, all classical vortices are characterized by an arbitrary…
On a two-dimensional Riemannian manifold without boundary we consider the variational limit of a family of functionals given by the sum of two terms: a Ginzburg-Landau and a perimeter term. Our scaling allows low-energy states to be…
A theory of Brownian motion is presented for an assembly of vortices. The attempt is motivated by a realization of Dyson' Coulomb gas in the context of quantum condensates. By starting with the time-dependent Landau-Ginzburg (LG) theory,…
We derive an analytic formula for the hydrodynamic Green function and the Robin function on every orientable surface admitting a hydrodynamic Killing vector field. Closed-form expressions are provided for all fourteen canonical Riemann…
We argue that statistical mechanics of systems with relaxation implies breaking the energy function of systems into two having different transformation rules. With this duality the energy approach incorporates the generalized vortex forces.…
In this paper, we summarize the technique of using Green functions to solve electrostatic problems. We start by deriving the electric potential in terms of a Green function and a charge distribution. We then provide a variety of example…
A new derivation is given of the known generalized position-momentum uncertainty relation, which takes into account gravity. The problem of two massive particles, the relative motion of which is described by the Schroedinger equation, is…
Let $\Sigma$ be a compact manifold without boundary whose first homology is nontrivial. Hodge decomposition of the incompressible Euler's equation in terms of 1-forms yields a coupled PDE-ODE system. The $L^2$-orthogonal components are a…
