We obtain an improved pseudolocality result for Ricci flows on two-dimensional surfaces that are initially almost-hyperbolic on large hyperbolic balls. We prove that, at the central point of the hyperbolic ball, the Gauss curvature remains…

The main result of the paper is classification of free multidimensional Borel flows up to Lebesgue Orbit Equivalence, by which we understand an orbit equivalence that preserves the Lebesgue measure on each orbit. Two non smooth Euclidean…

For a class of external forces, we prove the existence and uniqueness of smooth transonic flows to the one dimensional steady Euler system with an external force, which is subsonic at the inlet and flows out at supersonic speed after…

In this paper, we proved the well-posedness theory of compressible subsonic jet flows for two-dimensional steady Euler system with {\it general} incoming horizontal velocity as long as the flux is larger than a critical value. One of the…

We analyze the Navier Stokes equation, and show that all non-viscous, irrotational flows are barotropic. As far as we know, this has never been stated in the literature before, and indirectly suggests that vorticity is required to make…

Partially rectangular domains are compact two-dimensional Riemannian manifolds $X$, either closed or with boundary, that contain a flat rectangle or cylinder. In this paper we are interested in partially rectangular domains with ergodic…

Using the maximal regularity theory for quasilinear parabolic systems, we prove two stability results of complex hyperbolic space under the curvature-normalized Ricci flow in complex dimensions two and higher. The first result is on a…

The interplay of inertia and elasticity is shown to have a significant impact on the transport of filamentary objects, modelled by bead-spring chains, in a two-dimensional turbulent flow. We show how elastic interactions amongst inertial…

Motivated by the well-known phase-space portrait of the nonlinear pendulum, the purpose of this paper is to obtain convergence rates in the ergodic theorem for flows in the plane that have arbitrarily slow trajectories. Considering bounded…

We show how to turn the question of the absolute continuity of Bernoulli convolutions into one of counting the growth of the number of overlaps in the system. When the contraction parameter is a hyperbolic algebraic integer, we turn this…

We present theory of two-dimensional turbulence excited by an external force in thin fluid films on scales larger than the film thickness. The principal feature of two-dimensional turbulence is the tendency of producing motions of larger…

We formally derive the hydrodynamic limit of a system modelling a bosons gas having a condensed part, made of a quantum kinetic and a Gross-Pitaevskii equation. The limit model, which is a two-fluids Euler system, is approximated by an…

In [15] the authors proved the Pugh-Shub conjecture for partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms with 1-dimensional center, i.e. stable ergodic diffeomorphism are dense among the partially hyperbolic ones. In this work we address the issue of…

Carnot groups are subRiemannian manifolds. As such they admit geodesic flows, which are left-invariant Hamiltonian flows on their cotangent bundles. Some of these flows are integrable. Some are not. The space of k-jets for real-valued…

We consider the motion of a two-dimensional body of arbitrary shape in a planar irrotational, incompressible fluid with a given amount of circulation around the body. We derive the equations of motion for this system by performing…

We consider steady states for a class of mechanical systems with particle-disk interactions coupled to two, possibly unequal, heat baths. We show that any steady state that satisfies some natural assumptions is ergodic and absolutely…

The rate of quantum ergodicity is studied for three strongly chaotic (Anosov) systems. The quantal eigenfunctions on a compact Riemannian surface of genus g=2 and of two triangular billiards on a surface of constant negative curvature are…

In this paper we introduce the hyperbolic mean curvature flow and prove that the corresponding system of partial differential equations are strictly hyperbolic, and based on this, we show that this flow admits a unique short-time smooth…

A spherical hydrodynamical expansion flow can be described as the gradient of a potential. In that case no vorticity should be produced, but several additional mechanisms can drive its production. Here we analyze the effects of…
