In this article, we study the dynamics of geodesic flows on Riemannian (not necessarily compact) manifolds with no conjugate points. We prove the Anosov Closing Lemma, the local product structure, and the transitivity of the geodesic flows…
We show that the metric of nonpositively curved graph manifolds is determined by its geodesic flow. More precisely we show that if the geodesic flows of two nonpositively curved graph manifolds are $C^0$ conjugate then the spaces are…
We revisit the existence of monotonic quantities along renormalization group flows using only the Null Energy Condition and the Ryu-Takayanagi formula for the entanglement entropy of field theories with anti-de Sitter gravity duals. In…
We prove that closed negatively curved locally symmetric spaces are characterized up to isometry among all homotopy equivalent negatively curved manifolds by the Lyapunov spectra of the periodic orbits of their geodesic flows. This is done…
We prove that for the frame flow on a negatively curved, closed manifold of odd dimension other than 7, and a Holder continuous potential that is constant on fibers, there is a unique equilibrium measure. We prove a similar result for…
We show that a bijection $f:\mathbb{H}^2\rightarrow\mathbb{H}^2$ of the hyperbolic plane that sends horocycles to horocycles (respectively hypercycles to hypercycles) is an isometry. This extends a previous result of J. Jeffers on geodesics…
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…
For a Riemannian metric $g$ on the two-sphere, let $\ell_{\min}(g)$ be the length of the shortest closed geodesic and $\ell_{\max}(g)$ be the length of the longest simple closed geodesic. We prove that if the curvature of $g$ is positive…
In this paper, we are concerned with the initial boundary values problem associated to the compressible viscous non-resistive and heat-conducting magnetohydrodynamic flow, where the magnetic field is vertical. More precisely, by exploiting…
This article is a first step towards the understanding of the dynamics of the horocycle flow on foliated manifolds by hyperbolic surfaces. This is motivated by a question formulated by M. Martinez and A. Verjovsky on the minimality of this…
For any toric automorphism with only real eigenvalues a Riemannian metric with an integrable geodesic flow on the suspension of this automorphism is constructed. A qualitative analysis of such a flow on a three-solvmanifold constructed by…
We prove that if $(M, g)$ is a compact Riemannian manifold with ergodic geodesic flow, and if $H \subset M$ is a smooth hypersurface satisfying a generic asymmetry condition with respect to the geodesic flow, then restrictions $\phi_j |_H$…
We analyse numerically the linear stability of a liquid metal flow in a rectangular duct with perfectly electrically conducting walls subject to a uniform transverse magnetic field. A non-standard three dimensional vector stream…
An isoperimetric constant relating length and stable area, or alternatively for hyperbolic manifolds, length and stable commutator length, serves as a Cheeger constant for the smallest eigenvalue of the Hodge Laplacian acting on coexact…
Let f:(Y,g)->(X,g_0) be a non zero degree continuous map between compact K\"ahler manifolds of dimension greater or equal to 2, where g_0 has constant negative holomorphic sectional curvature. Adapting the Besson-Courtois-Gallot barycentre…
This paper presents a rank rigidity result for negatively curved spaces. Let $M$ be a compact manifold with negative sectional curvature and suppose that along every geodesic in $M$ there is a parallel vector field making curvature $-a^2$…
First results of a new spherical Couette experiment are presented. The liquid metal flow in a spherical shell is exposed to a homogeneous axial magnetic field. For a Reynolds number Re=1000, we study the effect of increasing Hartmann number…
We construct geometrically infinite hyperbolic surfaces supporting horocycles with tailored recurrence properties. In particular, we obtain the first examples of non-trivial minimal horocyclic orbit closures and of infinite locally-finite…
In this paper we prove that if the geodesic flow of a {compact or non-compact} complete manifold without conjugate points is of the Anosov type, then the average of the integral of the sectional curvature along the geodesic is negative and…
The linear marginal instability of an MHD Taylor-Couette flow of infinite vertical extension is considered. For hydrodynamically unstable flows the minimum Reynolds number exists even without a magnetic field, but there are also solutions…
