Liv\v{s}ic theorem asserts that, for Anosov diffeomorphisms/flows, a Lipschitz observable is a coboundary if all its Birkhoff sums on every periodic orbits are equal to zero. The transfer function is then Lipschitz. We prove a positive…
We prove that in an open and dense set, Symplectic linear cocycles over time one maps of Anosov flows, have positive Lyapunov exponents for SRB measures.
Fluid transport in microfluidic systems typically is laminar due to the low Reynolds number characteristic of the flow. The inclusion of suspended polymers imparts elasticity to fluids, allowing instabilities to be excited when substantial…
We develop operator renewal theory for flows and apply this to infinite ergodic theory. In particular we obtain results on mixing for a large class of infinite measure semiflows. Examples of systems covered by our results include…
We ascertain the enhanced slip properties for a liquid flow over lubricant-infused unidirectional surfaces. This situation reflects many practical settings involving liquid flows past superhydrophobic grooves filled with gas, or past…
We study the entropy and Lyapunov exponents of invariant measures $\mu$ for smooth surface diffeomorphisms $f$, as functions of $(f,\mu)$. The main result is an inequality relating the discontinuities of these functions. One consequence is…
This note illustrates the strategy of our paper on piecewise affine surface homeomorphisms by giving a new proof of the finite multiplicity of the maximum entropy measure of Anosov diffeomorphisms (here on surfaces). This approach avoids…
Ergodic properties of a stochastic medium complexity model for atmosphere and ocean dynamics are analysed. More specifically, a two-layer quasi-geostrophic model for geophysical flows is studied, with the upper layer being perturbed by…
Some topological properties of stochastic flow $\varphi_t(x)$ generated by stochastic differential equation in a ${\mathbb R}^d_+$ with normal reflection at the boundary are investigated. Sobolev differentiability in initial condition is…

In this article we study the topological structure of the lifts to the universal of the stable and unstable foliations of $3$-dimensional Anosov flows. In particular we consider the case when these foliations do not have Hausdorff leaf…
We performed two-dimensional numerical simulations of passive stirring of two liquids which generated two spatially distinguishable paradigmatic velocity flows, viz. few large extended vortices and rapid oscillations. Using the Okubo- Weiss…
In the present paper we study the C1-robustness of the three properties: average shadowing, asymptotic average shadowing and limit shadowing within two classes of conservative flows: the incompressible and the Hamiltonian ones. We obtain…
We define a new variant of Rabinowitz Floer homology that is particularly well suited to studying the growth rate of leaf-wise intersections. We prove that for closed manifolds $M$ whose loop space is "complicated", if $\Sigma$ is a…
We show that the stretch factor $\lambda(f)$ of an orientation-reversing fully-punctured pseudo-Anosov map $f$ on a finite-type orientable surface $S$, with $-\chi(S) \geq 4$ and having at least two puncture orbits, satisfies the inequality…
We study the problem of lifting various mixing properties from a base automorphism $T\in {\rm Aut}\xbm$ to skew products of the form $\tfs$, where $\va:X\to G$ is a cocycle with values in a locally compact Abelian group $G$,…
We consider the class of partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms on a closed 3-manifold with quasi-isometric center. Under the non-wandering condition, we prove that the diffeomorphisms are accessible if there is no $su$-torus. As a…

Non-monotonic velocity profiles are an inherent feature of mixing flows obeying non-slip boundary conditions. There are, however, few known models of laminar mixing which incorporate this feature and have proven mixing properties. Here we…
