On any closed Riemannian 3-manifold which is not a torus bundle, every nonvanishing analytic solution of the stationary Euler equations has a periodic trajectory. This result is originally due to A. Rechtman (arXiv:0904.2719) and K.…
The theory of flows was used as a crucial tool in the recent proof by Margolis, Rhodes and Schilling that Krohn-Rhodes complexity is decidable. In this paper we begin a systematic study of aperiodic flows. We give the foundations of the…
This text is based on a talk by the first named author at the first congress of the SMF (Tours, 2016). We present Bloch's conductor formula, which is a conjectural formula describing the change of topology in a family of algebraic varieties…
The Evasiveness conjecture have been proved for properties of graphs on a prime-power number of vertices and the six vertices case. The ten vertices case is still unsolved. In this paper we study the size of the automorphism group of a…
Topological equivalence of Morse-Smale flows without fixed points (NMS-flows) under assumptions of different generalities was studied in a number of papers. In some cases when the number of periodic orbits is small, it is possible to give…
This paper introduces the notions of vector field and flow on a general differentiable stack. Our main theorem states that the flow of a vector field on a compact proper differentiable stack exists and is unique up to a uniquely determined…
We provide a new approach to studying the moduli space of curves via Morse theory and hyperbolic geometry, by introducing a family of Morse functions on the moduli space $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n}$ of stable curves of genus $g$ with $n$…
Digraphs are generalizations of graphs in which each edge is assigned with a direction or two directions. In this paper, we define discrete Morse functions on digraphs, and prove that the homology of the Morse complex and the path homology…
Our objective is to develop a stratified Morse theory with tangential conditions. We define a continuous strata-wise smooth Morse function on an abstract stratified space by using control conditions and radiality assumptions on the gradient…
We show that for every non-elementary hyperbolic group, an associated topological flow space admits a coding based on a transitive subshift of finite type. Applications include regularity results for Manhattan curves, the uniqueness of…
In [8], the gradient conjecture of R. Thom was proven for gradient flows of analytic functions on Rn. This result means that the secant at a limit point converges, so that the flow cannot spiral forever. Once the trajectory becomes…
The classical approach to the study of dynamical systems consists in representing the dynamics of the system in the form of a "source-sink", that means identifying an attractor-repeller pair, which are attractor-repellent sets for all other…
This article represents a major step in the unification of the theory of algebraic, topological and singular transition matrices by introducing a definition which is a generalization that encompasses all of the previous three. When this…
We study expansive measures for continuous flows without fixed points on compact metric spaces. We provide a new characterization of expansive measures through dynamical balls that, in contrast to the dynamical balls considered in [\emph{J.…
We show that any topologically transitive codimension-one Anosov flow on a closed manifold is topologically equivalent to a smooth Anosov flow that preserves a smooth volume. By a classical theorem due to Verjovsky, any higher dimensional…
We prove a lower bound on the number of maximally broken trajectories of the negative gradient flow of a Morse-Smale function on a closed aspherical manifold in terms of integral (torsion) homology.
We construct symbolic dynamics on sets of full measure (w.r.t. an ergodic measure of positive entropy) for $C^{1+\epsilon}$ flows on compact smooth three-dimensional manifolds. One consequence is that the geodesic flow on the unit tangent…
In the present paper the exhaustive topological classification of nonsingular Morse-Smale flows of $n$-manifolds with two limit cycles is presented. Hyperbolicity of periodic orbits implies that among them one is attracting and another is…
In the early 1970s, Andrew Ogg made several conjectures about the rational torsion points of elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$ and the Jacobians of modular curves. These conjectures were proved shortly after by Barry Mazur as a consequence…
Given a smooth asymptotically conical self-expander that is strictly unstable we construct a (singular) Morse flow line of the expander functional that connects it to a stable self-expander. This flow is monotone in a suitable sense and has…
