Let $S$ be a closed, genus $g$ surface. The space of geodesic currents on $S$ encompasses the set of closed curves up to homotopy, as well as Teichm\"uller space, and many other spaces of structures on $S$. We show that one can define a…
Given a sequence of curves on a surface, we provide conditions which ensure that (1) the sequence is an infinite quasi-geodesic in the curve complex, (2) the limit in the Gromov boundary is represented by a nonuniquely ergodic ending…
Optimal transport (OT) theory provides a principled framework for modeling mass movement in applications such as mobility, logistics, and economics. Classical formulations, however, generally ignore capacity limits that are intrinsic in…
We introduce a topology-preserving discretization for coupling incompressible fluids with thin deformable structures, achieving guaranteed leakproofness through preservation of fluid domain connectivity. Our approach leverages a stitching…
Consider routing traffic on the N x N torus, simultaneously between all source-destination pairs, to minimize the cost $\sum_ec(e)f^2(e)$, where f(e) is the volume of flow across edge e and the c(e) form an i.i.d. random environment. We…
Flows on surfaces are one of the most fundamental and classical objects in dynamical systems, and are studied from various areas (e.g. integrable systems, differential equations, fluid mechanics). Though hyperbolic flows and recurrent flows…
This article discusses a relatively new geometric flow, called the hypersymplectic flow. In the first half of the article we explain the original motivating ideas for the flow, coming from both 4-dimensional symplectic topology and…
We study compact hyperbolic surface laminations. These are a generalization of closed hyperbolic surfaces which appear to be more suited to the study of Teichm\"uller theory than arbitrary non-compact surfaces. We show that the…
In this paper we prove a version of the Fountain Theorem for a class of nonsmooth functionals that are sum of a $C^1$ functional and a convex lower semicontinuous functional, and also a version of a theorem due to Heinz for this class of…
In this note we propose to show that the K\"ahler-Ricci flow fits naturally within the context of the Minimal Model Program for projective varieties. In particular we show that the flow detects, in finite time, the contraction theorem of…
This article surveys recent progress of results in topology and dynamics based on techniques of closed one-forms. Our approach allows us to draw conclusions about properties of flows by studying homotopical and cohomological features of…
We study a 2D potential flow of an ideal fluid with a free surface with decaying conditions at infinity. By using the conformal variables approach, we study a particular solution of Euler equations having a pair of square-root branch points…
We present faster algorithms for approximate maximum flow in undirected graphs with good separator structures, such as bounded genus, minor free, and geometric graphs. Given such a graph with $n$ vertices, $m$ edges along with a recursive…
This paper deals with the large-scale behaviour of nonlinear minimum-cost flow problems on random graphs. In such problems, a random nonlinear cost functional is minimised among all flows (discrete vector-fields) with a prescribed net flux…
A problem by Diestel is to extend algebraic flow theory of finite graphs to infinite graphs with ends. In order to pursue this problem, we define an A-flow and non-elusive H-flow for arbitrary graphs and for abelian topological Hausdorff…
A key question in the analysis of discrete models for material defects, such as vortices in spin systems and superconductors or isolated dislocations in metals, is whether information on boundary energy for a domain can be sufficient for…
We develop a method to calculate the persistent currents and their spatial distribution (and transport properties) on graphs made of quasi-1D diffusive wires. They are directly related to the field derivatives of the determinant of a matrix…
We define the pull-back operator, associated to a meromorphic transform, on several types of currents. We also give a simple proof to a version of a classical theorem on the extension of currents.
We present new min-max relations in digraphs between the number of paths satisfying certain conditions and the order of the corresponding cuts. We define these objects in order to capture, in the context of solving the half-integral linkage…
From the perspective of Morse theory, it is natural to investigate gradient flow trajectories between critical points. In this short note, we explore the minimal hypersurface analogue of this phenomenon and present examples that suggest…
