We construct a bounded $C^{1}$ domain $\Omega$ in $R^{n}$ for which the $H^{3/2}$ regularity for the Dirichlet and Neumann problems for the Laplacian cannot be improved, that is, there exists $f$ in $C^{\infty}(\overline\Omega)$ such that…

We present a geometric analysis of the incompressible averaged Euler equations for an ideal inviscid fluid. We show that solutions of these equations are geodesics on the volume-preserving diffeomorphism group of a new weak right invariant…

Second order Sobolev metrics on the space of regular unparametrized planar curves have several desirable completeness properties not present in lower order metrics, but numerics are still largely missing. In this paper, we present…

We consider the group of sense-preserving diffeomorphisms $\Diff S^1$ of the unit circle and its central extension, the Virasoro-Bott group, with their respective horizontal distributions chosen to be Ehresmann connections with respect to a…

We study a family of approximations to Euler's equation depending on two parameters $\varepsilon,\eta \ge 0$. When $\varepsilon=\eta=0$ we have Euler's equation and when both are positive we have instances of the class of…

This paper shows how left and right actions of Lie groups on a manifold may be used to complement one another in a variational reformulation of optimal control problems equivalently as geodesic boundary value problems with symmetry. We…

We consider a closed orientable Riemannian 3-manifold $(M,g)$ and a vector field $X$ with unit norm whose integral curves are geodesics of $g$. Any such vector field determines naturally a 2-plane bundle contained in the kernel of the…

We bring together those systems of hydrodynamical type that can be written as geodesic equations on diffeomorphism groups or on extensions of diffeomorphism groups with right invariant $L^2$ or $H^1$ metrics. We present their formal…

We study the geometry of the space of densities $\VolM$, which is the quotient space $\Diff(M)/\Diff_\mu(M)$ of the diffeomorphism group of a compact manifold $M$ by the subgroup of volume-preserving diffemorphisms, endowed with a…

For any non-elementary, torsion-free hyperbolic group, we provide a correspondence between the left-invariant Gromov-hyperbolic metrics on the group that are quasi-isometric to a word metric, and continuous reparameterizations of the…

We study Sobolev-type metrics of fractional order $s\geq0$ on the group $\Diff_c(M)$ of compactly supported diffeomorphisms of a manifold $M$. We show that for the important special case $M=S^1$ the geodesic distance on $\Diff_c(S^1)$…

We provide rigorous evidence of the fact that the modified Constantin-Lax-Majda equation modeling vortex and quasi-geostrophic dynamics describes the geodesic flow on the subgroup of orientation-preserving diffeomorphisms fixing one point,…

The Riemannian manifold of curves with a Sobolev metric is an important and frequently studied model in the theory of shape spaces. Various numerical approaches have been proposed to compute geodesics, but so far elude a rigorous…

The necessary and sufficient conditions for a three-dimensional Riemannian metric to admit a group of isometries of dimension $r$ acting on s-dimensional orbits are obtained. These conditions are Intrinsic, Deductive, Explicit and…

We construct a 2-parameter family of new triaxial $SU(2)$-invariant complete negative Einstein metrics on the complex line bundle $\mathcal{O}(-4)$ over $\mathbb{C}P^1$. The metrics are conformally compact and neither K\"ahler nor…

Following on from our previous study of the geodesic flow on three dimensional ellipsoid with equal middle semi-axes, here we study the remaining cases: Ellipsoids with two sets of equal semi-axes with $SO(2) \times SO(2)$ symmetry,…

A K\"ahler metric is called central if the determinant of its Ricci endomorphism is constant. For the case in which this constant is zero, we study on $4$-manifolds the existence of complete metrics of this type which are cohomogeneity one…

In this paper we consider the Holm-Staley $b$-family of equations in the Sobolev spaces $H^s(\mathbb R)$ for $s > 3/2$. Using a geometric approach we show that, for any value of the parameter $b$, the corresponding solution map,$u(0)…

We show that certain right-invariant metrics endow the infinite-dimensional Lie group of all smooth orientation-preserving diffeomorphisms of the circle with a Riemannian structure. The study of the Riemannian exponential map allows us to…

A deep analysis of the Lyapunov exponents, for stationary sequence of matrices going back to Furstenberg, for more general linear cocycles by Ledrappier and generalized to the context of non-linear cocycles by Avila and Viana, gives an…
