We study some classes of semi-linear differential equations including both well-posed and ill-posed cases that can generate cocycles (or cocycle correspondences with generating cocycles). Under exponential dichotomy condition with other…
We construct series of examples of exotic smooth structures on compact locally symmetric spaces of noncompact type. In particular, we obtain higher rank examples, which do not support Riemannian metric of nonpositive curvature. The examples…
We formulate stochastic partial differential equations on Riemannian manifolds, moving surfaces, general evolving Riemannian manifolds (with appropriate assumptions) and Riemannian manifolds with random metrics, in the variational setting…
