We investigate the existence of periodic solutions for a class of nonlocal continuity equations, which include mean-field equations derived from systems of coupled oscillators. While periodic solutions at the particle level have been…
A random motion on the Poincar\'e half-plane is studied. A particle runs on the geodesic lines changing direction at Poisson-paced times. The hyperbolic distance is analyzed, also in the case where returns to the starting point are…
We investigate a graph theoretic analog of geodesic geometry. In a graph $G=(V,E)$ we consider a system of paths $\mathcal{P}=\{P_{u,v}|u,v\in V\}$ where $P_{u,v}$ connects vertices $u$ and $v$. This system is consistent in that if vertices…
We endow the set of probability measures on a weighted graph with a Monge--Kantorovich metric, induced by a function defined on the set of vertices. The graph is assumed to have $n$ vertices and so, the boundary of the probability simplex…
The Directed Landscape, a random directed metric on the plane (where the first and the second coordinates are termed spatial and temporal respectively), was constructed in the breakthrough work of Dauvergne, Ortmann, and Vir\'ag, and has…
We show that for a generic Riemannian metric on a compact manifold of dimension $n\ge 3$ all geodesic loops based at a fixed point have no self-intersections. We also show that for an open and dense subset of the space of Riemannian metrics…
We study first-passage percolation on Z2, where the edge weights are given by a translation-ergodic distribution, addressing questions related to existence and coalescence of infinite geodesics. Some of these were studied in the late 90's…

We propose a new method for determining the stochastic or ordered nature of trajectories in non-integrable Hamiltonian dynamical systems. The method consists of constructing a time-series from the divergence of nearby trajectories and then…
For the pants graph, there is little known about the behaviour of geodesics, as opposed to quasigeodesics. Brock-Masur-Minsky showed that geodesics or geodesic segments connecting endpoints satisfying a bounded combinatorics condition, such…
We consider here a generalization of a well known discrete dynamical system produced by the bisection of reflection angles that are constructed recursively between two lines in the Euclidean plane. It is shown that similar properties of…
Einstein's equations of gravitation are not invariant under geodesic mappings, i. e. under a certain class of mappings of the Christoffel symbols and the metric tensor which leave the geodesic equations in a given coordinate system…
We show existence, uniqueness, and directedness properties for infinite geodesics in the FPP model. After giving the fundamental definitions, we describe results by Newman and collaborators giving existence and uniqueness of directed…
An optimal transport path may be viewed as a geodesic in the space of probability measures under a suitable family of metrics. This geodesic may exhibit a tree-shaped branching structure in many applications such as trees, blood vessels,…
We study counting limit laws that compare length functions on infinite graphs. We then apply these results to flat surfaces to obtain a statistical comparison between the geometric length and the number of singularities visited by geodesic…
Geodesic distance serves as a reliable means of measuring distance in nonlinear spaces, and such nonlinear manifolds are prevalent in the current multimodal learning. In these scenarios, some samples may exhibit high similarity, yet they…
This paper studies the space of $BV^2$ planar curves endowed with the $BV^2$ Finsler metric over its tangent space of displacement vector fields. Such a space is of interest for applications in image processing and computer vision because…
The geodesic structure is very closely related to the trace of the Laplace operator, involved in the calculation of the expectation value of the energy momentum tensor in Universes with non trivial topology. The purpose of this work is to…
In studying the formation of topological defects, it is conventional to assume the ``geodesic rule'' which is equivalent to minimizing gradients of the order parameter. This assumption has been called into question in field-theoretic…
In the present paper we have discussed the mechanics of incompressible test bodies moving in Riemannian spaces with non-trivial curvature tensors. For Hamilton's equations of motion the solutions have been obtained in the parametrical form…
