We prove that every homogeneous flow on a finite-volume homogeneous manifold has countably many independent invariant distributions unless it is conjugate to a linear flow on a torus. We also prove that the same conclusion holds for every…

It is an open problem in general to prove that there exists a sequence of $\Delta_g$-eigenfunctions $\phi_{j_k}$ on a Riemannian manifold $(M, g)$ for which the number $N(\phi_{j_k}) $ of nodal domains tends to infinity with the eigenvalue.…

Suppose $G$ is a compact Lie group, $H$ is a closed subgroup of $G$, and the homogeneous space $G/H$ is connected. The paper investigates the Ricci flow on a manifold $M$ diffeomorphic to $[0,1]\times G/H$. First, we prove a short-time…

We consider suspension flows over uniquely ergodic skew-translations on a $d$-dimensional torus $\mathbb{T}^d$, for $d \geq 2$. We prove that there exists a set $\mathscr{R}$ of smooth functions, which is dense in the space…

Let $X$ be a vector field and $Y$ be a co-vector field on a smooth manifold $M$. Does there exist a smooth Riemannian metric $g_{\alpha \beta}$ on $M$ such that $Y_\beta = g_{\alpha \beta} X^\alpha$? The main result of this note gives…

In this paper we consider dynamical systems generated by a diffeomorphism F defined on U an open subset of R^n, and give conditions over F which imply that their dynamics can be understood by studying the flow of an associated differential…

We propose Manifold Free-Form Flows (M-FFF), a simple new generative model for data on manifolds. The existing approaches to learning a distribution on arbitrary manifolds are expensive at inference time, since sampling requires solving a…

In light of the rich results of expansiveness in the dynamics of diffeomorphisms, it is natural to consider another notions of expansiveness such as countably-expansive, measure expansive, $N$-expansive and so on. In this paper, we…

Let $g(t)$, $t\in [0, +\infty)$, be a solution of the normalized K\"ahler-Ricci flow on a compact K\"ahler $n$-manifold $M$ with $c_{1}(M)>0$ and initial metric $g (0)\in 2\pi c_{1}(M)$. If there is a constant $C$ independent of $t$ such…

A flow defined by a nonsingular smooth vector field $X$ on a closed manifold $M$ is said to be parameter rigid if given any real valued smooth function $f$ on $M$, there are a smooth funcion $g$ and a constant $c$ such that $f=X(g)+c$…

We introduce and study a multivariate function that counts nowhere-zero flows on a graph G, in which each edge of G has an individual capacity. We prove that the associated counting function is a piecewise-defined polynomial in these…

Let $X$ be a smooth compact manifold and $v$ a vector field on $X$ which admits a smooth function $f: X \to \mathbf R$ such that $df(v) > 0$. Let $\partial X$ be the boundary of $X$. We denote by $C^\infty(X)$ the algebra of smooth…

Let $M$ be a compact Riemannian manifold. A {\em self-interacting diffusion} on $M$ is a stochastic process solution to $$dX_t = dW_t(X_t) - \frac{1}{t}(\int_0^t \nabla V_{X_s}(X_t)ds)dt$$ where $\{W_t\}$ is a Brownian vector field on $M$…
