A Converse KAM method for 3D vector fields, establishing regions through which pass no invariant 2-tori transverse to a given direction field, is tested on some helical perturbations of an axisymmetric magnetic field in toroidal geometry.…
Invariant manifolds are of fundamental importance to the qualitative understanding of dynamical systems. In this work, we explore and extend MacKay's converse KAM condition to obtain a sufficient condition for the nonexistence of invariant…
This paper studies the problem of finding a three-dimensional solenoidal vector field such that both the vector field and its curl are tangential to a given family of toroidal surfaces. We show that this question can be translated into the…
We explore the existence of quasisymmetric magnetic fields in asymmetric toroidal domains. These vector fields can be identified with a class of magnetohydrodynamic equilibria in the presence of pressure anisotropy. First, using Clebsch…
The relationship between symmetry fields and first integrals of divergence-free vector fields is explored in three dimensions in light of its relevance to plasma physics and magnetic confinement fusion. A Noether-type Theorem is known: for…
We consider analytic maps and vector fields defined in $\mathbb{R}^2 \times \mathbb{T}^d$, having a $d$-dimensional invariant torus $\mathcal{T}$. The map (resp. vector field) restricted to $\mathcal{T}$ defines a rotation of frequency…
A major achievement of Dewar and coworkers is the SPEC code to construct stepped-pressure equilibria in magnetohydrostatics without axisymmetry. Their existence had been proved by Bruno and Laurence. As part of the procedure of Bruno and…
We proved the existence of invariant tori in differentiable Hamiltonian vector fields without action-angle variables. It is a generalization of the result of [Llave, 2005] that deals with analytic vector fields.
First we characterize all the polynomial vector fields in $\R^4$ which have the Clifford torus as an invariant surface. After we study the number of invariant meridians and parallels that such polynomial vector fields can have in function…
In this paper we present and illustrate a general methodology to apply KAM theory in particular problems, based on an {\em a posteriori} approach. We focus on the existence of real-analytic quasi-periodic Lagrangian invariant tori for…
A topological flux function is introduced to quantify the topology of magnetic braids: non-zero line-tied magnetic fields whose field lines all connect between two boundaries. This scalar function is an ideal invariant defined on a…
We extend Turaev's definition of torsion invariants of 3-dimensional manifolds equipped with non-singular vector fields, by allowing (suitable) tangency circles to the boundary, and manifolds with non-zero Euler characteristic. We show that…
We consider the class of Beltrami fields (eigenfields of the curl operator) on three-dimensional Riemannian solid tori: such vector fields arise as steady incompressible inviscid fluids and plasmas. Using techniques from contact geometry,…
The concept of electric and magnetic field lines is intrinsically non-relativistic. Nonetheless, for certain types of fields satisfying certain geometric properties, field lines can be defined covariantly. More precisely, two…
We describe our approach to solve the problem of ensuring the solenoidality of the magnetic field vector in three-dimensional (3D) inversions, as well as the estimation of the uncertainty in the inferred magnetic field. The solenoidality of…
We apply topological methods to better understand how the magnetic field in the stellarator edge can be diverted away from the confined region. Our primary method is calculating the winding numbers of closed contours, which gives…
We reconsider a control theory for Hamiltonian systems, that was introduced on the basis of KAM theory and applied to a model of magnetic field in previous articles. By a combination of Frequency Analysis and of a rigorous (Computer…
We discuss a Nash-Moser/ KAM algorithm for the construction of invariant tori for {\em tame} vector fields. Similar algorithms have been studied widely both in finite and infinite dimensional contexts: we are particularly interested in the…
Convexity plays a prominent role in a number of problems, but practical considerations frequently give rise to non-convex functions. We suggest a method for determining convex regions, and also for assessing the lack of convexity in the…
The paper reviews the notion of $n+\frac{1}{2}$D non-autonomous Hamiltonian systems, portraying their dynamics as the flow of the Reeb field related to a closed two-form of maximal rank on a cosymplectic manifold, and naturally decomposing…
