An elliptic Newton flow is a dynamical system that can be interpreted as a continuous version of Newton's iteration method for finding the zeros of an elliptic function f. Previous work focusses on structurally stable flows (i.e., the phase…
We study renormalization group flows between six-dimensional superconformal field theories (SCFTs) using their geometric realizations as singular limits of F-theory compactified on elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau threefolds. There are two…
This is the second in a series of three papers on systematic analysis of rank 1 Coulomb branch geometries of four dimensional $\mathcal{N}$=2 SCFTs. In the first paper we developed a strategy for classifying physical rank-1 CB geometries of…
Tutte conjectured in 1972 that every 4-edge connected graph has a nowhere-zero 3-flow. This has long been known to be equivalent to the conjecture that every 5-regular 4-edge-connected graph has an edge orientation in which every out-degree…
In order to apply quantum topology methods to nonplanar graphs, we define a planar diagram category that describes the local topology of embeddings of graphs into surfaces. These \emph{virtual graphs} are a categorical interpretation of…
We consider the evolution of an incompressible two-dimensional perfect fluid as the boundary of its domain is deformed in a prescribed fashion. The flow is taken to be initially steady, and the boundary deformation is assumed to be slow…
In this paper it is proved that near a compact, invariant, proper subset of a continuous flow on a compact, connected metric space, at least one, out of twenty eight relevant dynamical phenomena, will necessarily occur. This result shows…
Hamiltonian flows on compact surfaces are characterized, and the topological invariants of such flows with finitely many singular points are constructed from the viewpoints of integrable systems, fluid mechanics, and dynamical systems.…
This paper concerns the study of some special ordered structures in turbulent flows. In particular, a systematic and relevant methodology is proposed to construct non trivial and non radial rotating vortices with non necessarily uniform…
In this article, we first investigate the kinematics of specific geodesic flows on two dimensional media with constant curvature, by explicitly solving the evolution (Raychaudhuri) equations for the expansion, shear and rotation along the…
We study graphical mean curvature flow of complete solutions defined on subsets of Euclidean space. We obtain smooth long time existence. The projections of the evolving graphs also solve mean curvature flow. Hence this approach allows to…
In the last three decades there has been an intense activity on the exploration of turbulent phenomena of dispersive equations, as for instance the growth of Sobolev norms since the work of Bourgain in the 90s. In general the 1D cubic…
Let $(S,\Phi)$ be a pair of a closed oriented surface and $\Phi$ be a real analytic flow with finitely many singularities. Let $x$ be a point of $S$ with the polycycle $\omega$-limit set $\omega(x)$. In this paper we give topological…
A 1983 conjecture of Bouchet states that every flow-admissible signed graph has a nowhere-zero six-flow. We prove this conjecture for cyclically five-edge-connected, cubic signed graphs.
We consider the graphical mean curvature flow of maps ${\bf f}:\mathbb{R}^m\to\mathbb{R}^n$, $m\ge 2$, and derive estimates on the growth rates of the evolved graphs, based on a new version of the maximum principle for properly immersed…
We prove that, in a two-dimensional strip, a steady flow of an ideal incompressible fluid with no stationary point and tangential boundary conditions is a shear flow. The same conclusion holds for a bounded steady flow in a half-plane. The…
Consider the set $\chi^0_{\mathrm{nw}}$ of non-wandering continuous flows on a closed surface. Then such a flow can be approximated by regular non-wandering flows without heteroclinic connections nor locally dense orbits in…
In this work we investigate the statistical mechanics of a family of two dimensional (2D) fluid flows, described by the generalized Euler equations, or $\alpha$-models. These models describe both nonlocal and local dynamics, with one…
As part of the general investigation of Ricci flow on complete surfaces with finite total curvature, we study this flow for surfaces with asymptotically conical (which includes as a special case asymptotically Euclidean) geometries. After…
This paper investigates the nature of the development of vortex shedding for two-dimensional unsteady flow of an incompressible fluid at the rear stagnation point.
