We generalize the classical Frobenius integrability theorem to plane fields of class $C^Q$, a regularity class introduced by Reimann [Rei76] for vector fields in Euclidean spaces. A $C^Q$ vector field is uniquely integrable and its flow is…
The Poynting vector is an invaluable tool for analysing electromagnetic problems. However, even a rigorous stress-energy tensor approach can still leave us with the question: is it best defined as $\Vec{E} \cross \Vec{H}$ or as $\Vec{D}…
We introduce a space of vector fields with bounded mean oscillation whose ``tangential'' and ``normal'' components to the boundary behave differently. We establish its Helmholtz decomposition when the domain is bounded. This substantially…
An analogue of the total variation prior for the normal vector field along the boundary of smooth shapes in 3D is introduced. The analysis of the total variation of the normal vector field is based on a differential geometric setting in…
Flows of vector fields are an essential tool in differential geometry, with countless applications in both theory and practice. While they have been extensively studied for ordinary manifolds and supermanifolds, a treatment of flows in…
The existence of a nowhere zero real vector field implies a well-known restriction on a compact manifold. But all manifolds admit nowhere zero complex vector fields. The relation between these observations is clarified.
We investigate the description of statistical field theories using Daubechies' orthonormal compact wavelets on a lattice. A simple variational approach is used to extend mean field theory and make predictions for the fluctuation strengths…
We consider the extension of classical history theory to the massive vector field and electromagnetism. It is argued that the action of the two Poincare groups introduced by Savvidou suggests that the history fields should have five…
We present a framework for studying the dynamics of equivariant vector fields near relative equilibria. To overcome the lack of linearization at a relative equilibrium or the possible non-smoothness of the orbit space, we categorify the…
Vectors fields defined on surfaces constitute relevant and useful representations but are rarely used. One reason might be that comparing vector fields across two surfaces of the same genus is not trivial: it requires to transport the…
We develop the axiom system proposed by Kontsevich and Segal to define volume-dependent field theories (VFTs), a class of non-topological quantum field theories whose dependence on the background metric factors through the associated…
In this paper, we discuss about monotone vector fields, which is a typical extension to the theory of convex functions, by exploiting the tangent space structure. This new approach to monotonicity in CAT(0) spaces stands in opposed to the…
Historically vector-meson physics arose along two different paths to be reviewed in Sections 1 and 2. In Section 3, the phenomenological consequences will be discussed with an emphasis on those aspects of the subject matter relevant in…
I. M. Gelfand and D. B. Fuks have studied the cohomology of the Lie algebra of vector fields on a manifold. In this article, we generalize their main tools to compute the Leibniz cohomology, by extending the two spectral sequences…
In the class of Sobolev vector fields in $\mathbb{R}^n$ of bounded divergence, for which the theory of DiPerna and Lions provides a well defined notion of flow, we characterize the vector fields whose flow commute in terms of the Lie…
When a singular point of a vector field passes through resonance, a formal invariant cone appears. In the seventies, Pyartli proved that for $(-1,1)$-resonance the cone is in fact analytic and is the degeneration of a family of invariant…
First we characterize all the polynomial vector fields in $\R^4$ which have the Clifford torus as an invariant surface. After we study the number of invariant meridians and parallels that such polynomial vector fields can have in function…
A proof is given of the vector identity proposed by Gubarev, Stodolsky and Zakarov that relates the volume integral of the square of a 3-vector field to non-local integrals of the curl and divergence of the field. The identity is applied to…
Givental has defined a Lagrangian cone in a symplectic vector space which encodes all genus-zero Gromov-Witten invariants of a smooth projective variety X. Let Y be the subvariety in X given by the zero locus of a regular section of a…
Three definitions of a differential form on a tangent structure are considere. It is proved that the (covariant) definition given by Souriau (as a collection of forms indexed by the plaques) is equivalent to a smooth section of the…
