This paper gives 3 different proofs (independently obtained by the 3 authors) of the following fact: given an Anosov flow on an oriented 3 manifold, the existence of a positive Birkhoff section is equivalent to the fact that the flow is…

We show that the action on its orbit space induced by a pseudo-Anosov flow on a closed $3$-manifold (and more general Anosov-like actions) can be seen as an isometric action on a Gromov-hyperbolic space. When the flow is not $\R$-covered,…

We will prove a Moser-type theorem for self-dual harmonic 2-forms on closed 4-manifolds, and use it to classify local forms on neighborhoods of singular circles on which the 2-form vanishes. Removing neighborhoods of the circles, we obtain…

We provide some general theoretical results to guide the optimization of transverse hydrodynamic phenomena in superhydrophobic channels. Our focus is on the canonical micro- and nanofluidic geometry of a parallel-plate channel with an…

Let $M$ be a non-compact hyperbolic $3$-manifold with finite volume and totally geodesic boundary components. By subdividing mixed ideal polyhedral decompositions of $M$, under some certain topological conditions, we prove that $M$ has an…

We define a 2-normal surface to be one which intersects every 3-simplex of a triangulated 3-manifold in normal triangles and quadrilaterals, with one or two exceptions. The possible exceptions are a pair of octagons, a pair of unknotted…

In the present paper the exhaustive topological classification of nonsingular Morse-Smale flows of $n$-manifolds with two limit cycles is presented. Hyperbolicity of periodic orbits implies that among them one is attracting and another is…

We investigate the cross ratio for closed negatively curved manifolds. As one of several applications, we obtain that for two such homotopy equivalent manifolds M and N, the following is true : If M and N have the same marked length…

For Anosov flows obtained by suspensions of Anosov diffeomorphisms on surfaces, we show the following type of rigidity result: if a topological conjugacy between them is differentiable at a point, then the conjugacy has a smooth extension…

We show that symmetries are preserved exactly along the (Wilsonian) renormalization group flow, though the IR cutoff deforms concrete forms of the transformations. For a gauge theory the cutoff dependent Ward-Takahashi identity is written…

In this article, we study the dynamics of geodesic flows on Riemannian (not necessarily compact) manifolds with no conjugate points. We prove the Anosov Closing Lemma, the local product structure, and the transitivity of the geodesic flows…

Almost contact manifolds with B-metric are considered. There are studied three natural connections (i.e. linear connections preserving the structure tensors) determined by conditions for their torsions. These connections are investigated on…

We provide abstract conditions which imply the existence of a robustly invariant neighbourhood of a global section of a fibre bundle flow. We then apply such a result to the bundle flow generated by an Anosov flow when the fibre is the…

Since the 1980s, it has been known that essential surfaces in alternating link complements can be isotoped to be transverse to the link diagram almost everywhere, with the exception of some well-understood intersections, and described…

An asymmetric variant of the contact process where the activity spreads with different and independent random rates to the left and to the right is introduced. A real space renormalization scheme is formulated for model by means of which it…

We establish a new criterion for the existence of a global cross section to a non-singular volume-preserving flow on a compact manifold. Namely, if $\Phi$ is a non-singular smooth flow on a compact, connected manifold $M$ with a smooth…

We present a new approach to hyperbolic plugs, via a construction of bicontact plugs on 3-manifolds with boundary that are surface bundles over the circle. The boundary components are quasi transverse tori, and we prove a gluing theorem…

We construct open book structures on all moment-angle manifolds and describe the topology of their leaves and bindings under certain restrictions. II. We also show, using a recent deep result about contact forms due to Borman, Eliashberg…

Convergence and normal continuity analysis of a bivariate non-stationary (level-dependent) subdivision scheme for 2-manifold meshes with arbitrary topology is still an open issue. Exploiting ideas from the theory of asymptotically…

Contact path geometries are curved geometric structures on a contact manifold comprising smooth families of paths modeled on the family of all isotropic lines in the projectivization of a symplectic vector space. Locally such a structure is…
