This paper is devoted to the geometric analysis of the incompressible averaged Euler equations on compact Riemannian manifolds with boundary. The equation also coincides with the model for a second-grade non-Newtonian fluid. We study the…

In this article, we establish the Hopf-Tsuji-Sullivan dichotomy for geodesic flows on certain manifolds with no conjugate points: either the geodesic flow is conservative and ergodic, or it is completely dissipative and non-ergodic. We also…

Let $Q$ be a closed manifold admitting a locally-free action of a compact Lie group $G$. In this paper we study the properties of geodesic flows on $Q$ given by Riemannian metrics which are invariant by such an action. In particular, we…

We describe first integrals of geostrophic equations, which are similar to the enstrophy invariants of the Euler equation for an ideal incompressible fluid. We explain the geometry behind this similarity, give several equivalent definitions…

We study the geodesic flow of geometrically finite quotients $\Omega/{\Gamma}$ of Hilbert geometries, in particular its recurrence properties. We prove that, under a geometrical assumption on the cusps, the geodesic flow is uniformly…

We prove a recent conjecture of Dragovic et al arXiv2504.20515 stating that the magnetic geodesic flow on the standard sphere $S^n\subset \mathbb R^{n+1}$ whose magnetic 2-form is the restriction of a constant 2-form from $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$…

Starting from the vortex filament flow introduced in 1906 by Da Rios, there is a hierarchy of commuting geometric flows on space curves. The traditional approach relates those flows to the nonlinear Schr\"odinger hierarchy satisfied by the…

Using the works of Ma\~n\'e \cite{Ma} and Paternain \cite{Pat} we study the distribution of geodesic arcs with respect to equilibrium states of the geodesic flow on a closed manifold, equipped with a $\mathcal{C}^{\infty}$ Riemannian…

Perturbed geodesics are trajectories of particles moving on a semi-Riemannian manifold in the presence of a potential. Our purpose here is to extend to perturbed geodesics on semi-Riemannian manifolds the well known Morse Index Theorem.…

We develop a geometric framework for irreversible transport phenomena in which macroscopic evolution equations arise from the combined structure of a thermodynamic state metric and an Onsager-based dissipation metric. The construction…

Many classical facts in Riemannian geometry have their pseudo-Riemannian analogs. For instance, the spaces of space-like and time-like geodesics on a pseudo-Riemannian manifold have natural symplectic structures (just like in the Riemannian…
