The computation of Lagrangian coherent structures (LCS) has established itself as a prominent means to reveal significant geometric structures in time-dependent vector fields. Their characterization, however, requires the selection of a…

We describe all possible topological structures of codimension one gradient vector fields on the shpere with at most ten singular points. To describe structures, we use a graph whose edges are one-dimensional stable manifolds. The…

We explore perturbative double field theory about time-dependent (cosmological) backgrounds to cubic order. To this order the theory is consistent in a weakly constrained sense, so that for a toroidal geometry it encodes both momentum and…

We investigate under which assumptions the flow associated to autonomous planar vector fields inherits the Sobolev or BV regularity of the vector field. We consider nearly incompressible and divergence-free vector fields, taking advantage…

We investigate the neighborhood of Topological Lattice Field Theories (TLFTs) in the parameter space of general lattice field theories in dimension $D\geq 2$, and discuss the phase structures associated to them. We first define a…

In this paper, the time-varying formation and time-varying formation tracking problems are solved for linear multi-agent systems over digraphs without the knowledge of the eigenvalues of the Laplacian matrix associated to the digraph. The…

Smooth vector fields on $\mathbb{R}^n$ can be decomposed into the sum of a gradient vector field and divergence-free (solenoidal) vector field under suitable hypotheses. This is called the Helmholtz-Hodge decomposition (HHD), which has been…

We investigate the open Closing Lemma problem for vector fields on the 2-dimensional torus. Under the assumption of bounded type rotation number, the $C^r$ Closing Lemma is verified for smooth vector fields that are area-preserving at all…

We propose here the use of the variational level set methodology to capture Lagrangian vortex boundaries in 2D unsteady velocity fields. This method reformulates earlier approaches that seek material vortex boundaries as extremum solutions…

In this paper, we consider time-varying real analytic vector fields as curves on the space of real analytic vector fields. Using a suitable topology on the space of real analytic vector fields, we study and characterize different properties…

We construct new substantive examples of non-autonomous vector fields on 3-dimensional sphere having a simple dynamics but non-trivial topology. The construction is based on two ideas: the theory of diffeomorpisms with wild separatrix…

We study the Lagrangian trajectories of statistically isotropic, homogeneous, and stationary divergence free spatiotemporal random vector fields. We design this advecting Eulerian velocity field such that it gets asymptotically rough and…

Lagrangian coherent structures (LCSs) are material surfaces that shape finite-time tracer patterns in flows with arbitrary time dependence. Depending on their deformation properties, elliptic and hyperbolic LCSs have been identified from…

This paper shows that the topological structures of particle orbits generated by a generic class of vector fields on spherical surfaces, called {\it the flow of finite type}, are in one-to-one correspondence with discrete structures such as…

The focus is on the statistical analysis of matrix-valued time series, where data is collected over a network of sensors, typically at spatial locations, over time. Each sensor records a vector of features at each time point, creating a…

The problem of finding a time-dependent vector field which warps an initial set of points to a target set is common in shape analysis. It is an example of a problem in the diffeomorphic shape matching regime, and can be thought of as a…

Topological superconductors are gapped superconductors with gapless and topologically robust quasiparticles propagating on the boundary. In this paper, we present a topological field theory description of three-dimensional time-reversal…

This paper generalizes some known solitary solutions of a time-dependent Hamiltonian in two ways: The time-dependent field can be an elliptic function, and the time evolution is obtained for a complete set of basis vectors. The latter makes…

We propose a general framework to solve tight binding models in D dimensional lattices driven by ac electric fields. Our method is valid for arbitrary driving regimes and allows to obtain effective Hamiltonians for different external fields…

We investigate the long time behavior of solutions to a shape and topology optimization problem with respect to the time-dependent Navier--Stokes equations. The sought topology is represented by a stationary phase-field that represents a…
