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…

This is an expository article which describes one approach to the construction and classification of harmonic tori "of finite type", namely, via their ring of polynomial Killing fields. To keep the discussion focussed, the first section is…

In this paper, the theory of harmonic maps is extended. The soliton or traveling wave solutions of Euler's equations of the extended harmonic maps are studied. In certain cases, the chaotic behaviors of these partial equations can be found…
