It is shown that the Cauchy problem of the equations in magnetohydrodynamics in the whole space is globally well-posed for any initial smooth and localized data. In general, the mathematical structure of solution shows that the coupled…

We consider magnetic geodesic flows of the normal metrics on a class of homogeneous spaces, in particular (co)adjoint orbits of compact Lie groups. We give the proof of the non-commutative integrability of flows and show, in addition, for…

We consider stochastic perturbations of geodesic flow for left-invariant metrics on finite-dimensional Lie groups and study the H\"ormander condition and some properties of the solutions of the corresponding Fokker-Planck equations.

Given a smooth compact surface without focal points and of higher genus, it is shown that its geodesic flow is semi-conjugate to a continuous expansive flow with a local product structure such that the semi-conjugation preserves…

The fundamental role played by the Lie groups in mechanics, and especially by the dual space of the Lie algebra of the group and the coadjoint action are illustrated through the Camassa-Holm equation (CH). In 1996 Misio{\l}ek observed that…

In 1966 V.Arnold suggested a group-theoretic approach to ideal hydrodynamics in which the motion of an inviscid incompressible fluid is described as the geodesic flow of the right-invariant $L^2$-metric on the group of volume-preserving…

Streamlines of a relativistic perfect isentropic fluid are geodesics of a Riemannian space whose metric is defined by enthalpy of the fluid. This fact simplifies the solution of some problems, as is also of interest from the point of view…
