We show that there exists a universal gap in the failure of the ergodic theorem for symmetric Birkhoff sums in infinite ergodic theory. In addition, an application of this result to a question of fluctuations of the Birkhoff integrals of…
The notions of (metric) hypersurface data were introduced in [Mars,2013] as a tool to analyze, from an abstract viewpoint, hypersurfaces of arbitrary signature in pseudo-riemannian manifolds. In this paper, general geometric properties of…
We develop the theory of generalized bi-Hamiltonian reduction. Applying this theory to a suitable loop algebra we recover a generalized Drinfeld-Sokolov reduction. This gives a way to construct new examples of algebraic Frobenius manifolds.
In this paper we obtain an existence theorem for normal geodesics joining two given submanifolds in a globally hyperbolic stationary spacetime. The proof is based on both variational and geometric arguments involving the causal structure of…
We employ the curve shortening flow to establish three new results on the dynamics of geodesic flows of closed Riemannian surfaces. The first one is the stability, under $C^0$-small perturbations of the Riemannian metric, of certain flat…
Center one-form symmetries in consistent quantum gravity theories are expected to be either broken or gauged, thereby determining the global form of the gauge group. We shed light on this expectation from the perspective of distinguished…
We define a theory of real $(p,q)$-forms and currents on Berkovich spaces which is parallel to the theory of differential forms on complex spaces. It is based on Lagerberg's theory of superforms in tropical geometry and on the consideration…
We point out that the geometry of connected totally geodesic compact null hypersurfaces in Lorentzian manifolds is only slightly more specialized than that of Riemannian flows over compact manifolds, the latter mathematical theory having…
The main goal of the paper is to prove convergence in norm and pointwise almost everywhere on $L^p$, $p\in (1,\infty)$, for certain multiparameter polynomial ergodic averages in the spirit of Dunford and Zygmund for continuous flows. We…
We study wave maps from the circle to a general compact Riemannian manifold. We prove that the global controllability of this geometric equation is characterized precisely by the homotopy class of the data. As a remarkable intermediate…
Generalized Hydrodynamics is a recent theory that describes the large scale transport properties of one dimensional integrable models. At the heart of this theory lies an exact quantum-classical correspondence, which states that the flows…
We prove the existence of a sequence of commutative diagrams generalizing existing results on the cohomology of the Borel-Serre boundary and well-rounded retract to the context of the well-tempered complex. Our main theorem provides a…
In the context of generalised geometry we investigate reductions to $SU(m)\times SU(m)$ together with an integrability condition which in dimension 6 describes the geometry of type II supergravity compactifications.
A general class of Lorentzian metrics, $M_0 x R^2$, $ds^2 = <.,.> + 2 du dv + H(x,u) du^2$, with $(M_0, <.,.>$ any Riemannian manifold, is introduced in order to generalize classical exact plane fronted waves. Here, we start a systematic…
We classify immersions $f$ of $S^1$ in a $2$-manifold $M$ in terms of elementary invariants: the parity $S(f)$ of the number of double points of a self-transverse $C^1$-approximation of $f$, and the turning number $T(e\bar f)$ of the…
For a smooth (locally trivial) principal bundle in Ehresmann's sense, the relation between the commuting vertical and horizontal actions of the structural Lie group and the structural Lie groupoid (isomorphisms between vertical fibers) is…
The interaction of a solitary wave and a slowly varying mean background or flow for the Serre-Green-Naghdi (SGN) equations is studied using Whitham modulation theory. The exact form of the three SGN-Whitham modulation equations -- two for…
Noticing that the space of the solutions of a first order Hamiltonian field theory has a pre-symplectic structure, we describe a class of conserved charges on it associated to the momentum map determined by any symmetry group of…
The theory of integrable systems of Hamiltonian PDEs and their near-integrable deformations is used to study evolution equations resulting from vertical-averages of the Euler system for two-layer stratified flows in an infinite 2D channel.…
We continue our program initiated in [arXiv:0912.4261] to consider supersymmetric surface operators in a topologically-twisted N=2 pure SU(2) gauge theory, and apply them to the study of four-manifolds and related invariants. Elegant…
