Rossby-Haurwitz (RH) waves are important explicit solutions of the incompressible Euler equation on a two-dimensional rotating sphere. In this paper, we prove the orbital stability of degree-2 RH waves, which confirms a conjecture proposed…
In 1880, Stokes examined an incompressible irrotational periodic traveling water wave under the influence of gravity and conjectured the existence of an extreme wave with a corner of $120^{\circ}$ at the crest. The first rigorous proof of…
This is a study of singular solutions of the problem of traveling gravity water waves on flows with vorticity. We show that, for a certain class of vorticity functions, a sequence of regular waves converges to an extreme wave with…
We prove the following extension of the Wiener--Wintner Theorem in Ergodic Theor and the Carleson Theorem on pointwise convergence of Fourier series: For all measure preserving flows $ (X,\mu , T_t)$ and $ f\in L^p (X,\mu)$, there is a set…
We consider the Jacobi matrix generated by a balanced measure of hyperbolic polynomial map. The conjecture of Bellissard says that this matrix should have an extremely strong periodicity property. We show how this conjecture is related to a…
