Let $f$ and $g$ be two volume-preserving diffeomorphisms on the cube $Q=[0,1]^{\nu}$, $\nu \geq 3$. We show that there is a divergence-free vector field $v \in L^1((0,1);L^p(Q))$ such that $v$ connects $f$ and $g$ through the corresponding…

Using a generalization of complexes, called 2-complexes, this paper defines and analyzes new Sobolev spaces of matrix fields and their interrelationships within a commuting diagram. These spaces have very weak second-order derivatives. An…

We characterize Lie -Backlund vector fields in infinite dimensional jet bundles $J^\infty(\mathbb{R}^n, \mathbb{R}^m)$ that can be exponentiated to flows with each component depending on a finite set of variables. We show that for $m=1$…

We show that a translation of vector V on the torus has the monotone shrinking target property if and only if the vector V is of constant type. Then, using reparametrizations of linear flows, we show that there exist area preserving real…

In this paper we consider convex subsets of locally-convex topological vector spaces. Given a fixed point in such a convex subset, we show that there exists a curve completely contained in the convex subset and leaving the point in a given…

Let X be a real normed vector space and dim X \ge 2. Let d>0 be a fixed real number. We prove that if x,y \in X and ||x-y||/d is a rational number then there exists a finite set {x,y} \subseteq S(x,y) \subseteq X with the following…

We consider the movement of a particle advected by a random flow of the form $\vv+\delta \bF(\vx)$, with $\vv\in\R^d$ a constant drift, $\bF(\vx)$ -- the fluctuation -- given by a zero mean, stationary random field and $\delta\ll 1$ so that…

We consider a family of vector fields defined in some bounded domain of R^p, and we assume that they satisfy Hormander's rank condition of some step r, and that their coefficients have r-1 continuous derivatives. We extend to this nonsmooth…

In this paper, we validate the boundary layer theory for 2D steady viscous incompressible magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations in a domain $\{(X, Y)\in[0, L]\times\mathbb{R}_+\}$ under the assumption of a moving boundary at $\{Y=0\}$. The…

We prove that the static convexity is preserved along two kinds of locally constrained curvature flows in hyperbolic space. Using the static convexity of the flow hypersurfaces, we prove new family of geometric inequalities for such…

We generalize some of the results of Harvey, Lawson and Latschev about transgression formulas. The focus here is on flowing forms via vertical vector fields, especially Morse-Bott-Smale vector fields. We prove a very general transgression…

The algebras of interacting "Lie random fields" that were introduced in J. Math. Phys. 48, 122302 (2007) are developed further. The conjecture that the vacuum vector defines a state over a Lie random field algebra is proved. The difference…

It is known, after \cite{Jabin16} and \cite{AlbertiCrippaMazzucato18}, that ODE flows and solutions of the transport equation associated to Sobolev vector fields do not propagate Sobolev regularity, even of fractional order. In this paper,…

In this three-part monograph, we prove that steady, incompressible Navier-Stokes flows posed over the moving boundary, $y = 0$, can be decomposed into Euler and Prandtl flows in the inviscid limit globally in $[1,\infty) \times [0,\infty)$,…
