Louis Poinsot has shown in 1854 that the motion of a rigid body, with one of its points fixed, can be described as the rolling without slipping of one cone, the 'body cone', along another, the 'space cone', with their common vertex at the…
We derive the exact equation of motion for a vortex in two- and three- dimensional non-relativistic systems governed by the Ginzburg-Landau equation with complex coefficients. The velocity is given in terms of local gradients of the…
We study helicity correlations of electron-positron pairs created by a homogeneous time-dependent electric field in the Sauter-Schwinger scenario. Our analysis is based on solving the Dirac equation with the Feynman or anti-Feynman boundary…
Steady vortices for the three-dimensional Euler equation for inviscid incompressible flows and for the shallow water equation are constructed and showed to tend asymptotically to singular vortex filaments. The construction is based on the…
Riemannian geometry is a particular case of Hamiltonian mechanics: the orbits of the hamiltonian $H=\frac{1}{2}g^{ij}p_{i}p_{j}$ are the geodesics. Given a symplectic manifold (\Gamma,\omega), a hamiltonian $H:\Gamma\to\mathbb{R}$ and a…
Fluid motion in tanks is usually described in space industry with the so-called Lomen hypothesis which assumes the vorticity is null in the moving frame. We establish in this contribution that this hypothesis is valid only for uniform…
This paper deals with the well posedness of an integrodifferential equation that describes a vortex filament associated to a 3D turbulent fluid flow. This equation is driven by a fractional Brownian motion of Hurst parameter H>1/2. We prove…
A single incompressible, inviscid, irrotational fluid medium bounded above by a free surface is considered. The Hamiltonian of the system is expressed in terms of the so-called Dirichlet-Neumann operators. The equations for the surface…
In this paper, we present port-Hamiltonian formulations of the incompressible Euler equations with a free surface governed by surface tension and gravity forces, modelling e.g. capillary and gravity waves and the evolution of droplets in…
Cosmological magnetic helicity has been thought to be a fundamental agent for magnetic field amplification in the universe. More recently Semikoz and Sokoloff [Phys Rev Lett 92 (2004): 131.301.] showed that the weakness of the seed fields…
We use the Riemann-Hilbert problem to study the interaction of the soliton with radiation in the parametrically driven, damped nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation. The analysis is reduced to the study of a finite-dimensional dynamical system…
In this note we first set up an analogy between spin and vorticity of a perfect 2d-fluid flow, based on the Borel-Weil contruction of the irreducible unitary representations of SU(2), and looking at the Madelung-Bohm velocity attached to…
In this paper, we examine the dimensionality of a single electrically driven vortex bounded by two no-slip and perfectly insulating horizontal walls distant by $h$. The study was performed in the weakly inertial limit by means of an…
Properties of Hamiltonian symmetry flows on hyperbolic Euler-type Liouvillean equations E' are analyzed. Description of their Noether symmetries assigned to the integrals for these equations is obtained. The integrals provide Miura…
We are concerned with the dynamics of $N$ point vortices $z_1,\dots,z_N\in\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^2$ in a planar domain. This is described by a Hamiltonian system \[ \Gamma_k\dot{z}_k(t)=J\nabla_{z_k} H\big(z(t)\big),\quad k=1,\dots,N, \]…
We examine the relationship between magnetic flux generation, taken as an indicator of large-scale dynamo action, and magnetic helicity, computed as an integral over the dynamo volume, in a simple dynamo. We consider dynamo action driven by…
In the present paper, some elementary test cases in laminar flow with magnetic forcing terms are analyzed (Hartmann flow, Couette flow, Rayleigh flow); equations of the coupled problem are exposed and analytical solutions are derived in…
The kinetic part of the Rasetti-Regge action I_{RR} for vortex lines is studied and links to string theory are made. It is shown that both I_{RR} and the Polyakov string action I_{Pol} can be constructed with the same field X^mu. Unlike…
We investigate the nonrelativistic limit of the gravitationally coupled Dirac Equation via a Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation. The relativistic correction terms have immediate and obvious physical interpretations in terms of a gravitational…
The paper interprets the cubic nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation as a Hamiltonian system with infinite dimensional phase space. There is a Gibbs measure which is invariant under the flow associated with the canonical equations of motion. The…
