Let $T=(T_t^f)_{t\in \mathbb{R}}$ be a special flow built over an IET $T : T \to T$ of bounded type, under a roof function f with symmetric logarithmic singularities at a subset of discontinuities of T. We show that $T$ satisfies so-called…
It is proved that all special flows over the rotation by an irrational $\alpha$ with bounded partial quotients and under $f$ which is piecewise absolutely continuous with a non-zero sum of jumps are mildly mixing. Such flows are also shown…
Given a compact surface $\mathcal{M}$ with a smooth area form $\omega$, we consider an open and dense subset of the set of smooth closed 1-forms on $\mathcal{M}$ with isolated zeros which admit at least one saddle loop homologous to zero…
The article addresses some open questions about the relations between the topological weak mixing property and the transitivity of the map $f\times f^2 \times...\times f^m$, where $f\colon X\ra X$ is a topological dynamical system on a…
We prove that minimal area-preserving flows locally given by a smooth Hamiltonian on a closed surface of any genus are typically (in the measure-theoretical sense) not mixing. The result is obtained by considering special flows over…
We construct a smooth, area preserving, mixing flow with finitely many non-degenerate fixed points and no saddle connections on a closed surface of genus 5. This resolves a problem that has been open for four decades.
We completely characterize rational polygons whose billiard flow is weakly mixing in almost every direction as those which are not almost integrable, in the terminology of Gutkin, modulo some low complexity exceptions. This proves a…
We show existence of smooth, weakly mixing reparametrizations of some linear flows on $\mathbb{T}^2$ for which all orbits sampled at prime times are dense.
We prove that the return map of the unstable horocycle flow on the space of horizontally short translation surfaces associated to a lattice surface $(X, \omega)$ is weakly mixing. This extends a result of Cheung-Quas for the square torus to…
We construct topological invariants, called abstract weak orbit spaces, of flows and homeomorphisms on topological spaces, to describe both gradient dynamics and recurrent dynamics. In particular, the abstract weak orbit spaces of flows on…
Self-similar stable mixed moving average processes can be related to nonsingular flows through their minimal representations. Self-similar stable mixed moving averages related to dissipative flows have been studied, as well as processes…
We prove that there exists a residual set of (non-rational) polygons such the billiard flow is weakly mixing with respect to the Liouville measure (on the unit tangent bundle to the billiard). This follows, via a Baire category argument,…
In this note, we prove the existence of weak solutions of the Chern-Ricci flow through blow downs of exceptional curves, as well as backwards smooth convergence away from the exceptional curves on compact complex surfaces. The smoothing…
We present a novel asymptotic-preserving semi-implicit finite element method for weakly compressible and incompressible flows based on compatible finite element spaces. The momentum is sought in an $H(\mathrm{div})$-conforming space,…
We study the new geometric flow that was introduced in [11] that evolves a pair of map and (domain) metric in such a way that it changes appropriate initial data into branched minimal immersions. In the present paper we focus on the…
Let $M$ be a manifold with pinched negative sectional curvature. We show that when $M$ is geometrically finite and the geodesic flow on $T^1 M$ is topologically mixing then the set of mixing invariant measures is dense in the set…
We show that the billiard in a regular polygon is weak mixing in almost every invariant surface, except in the trivial cases which give rise to lattices in the plane (triangle, square and hexagon). More generally, we study the problem of…
We construct a planar smooth weakly mixing stationary random vector field with nonnegative components such that, with probability 1, the flow generated by this vector field does not have an asymptotic direction. Moreover, for all individual…
We consider special flows over the rotation by an irrational $\alpha$ under the roof functions of bounded variation without continuous, singular part in the Lebesgue decomposition and the sum of jumps $\neq 0$. We show that all such flows…
This paper gives a topological characterization of Hamiltonian flows with finitely many singular points on compact surfaces, using the concept of ``demi-caract\'eristique'' in the sense of Poincar\'e. Furthermore, we describe the…
