The low-energy, rotationally equivariant dynamics of n CP^1 lumps on S^2 is studied within the approximation of geodesic motion in the moduli space of static solutions. The volume and curvature properties of this moduli space are computed.…
The topology and geometry of the moduli space, M_2, of degree 2 static solutions of the CP^1 model on a torus (spacetime T^2 x R) are studied. It is proved that M_2 is homeomorphic to the left coset space G/G_0 where G is a certain…
Low-energy dynamics in the unit-charge sector of the CP^1 model on spherical space (space-time S^2 x R) is treated in the approximation of geodesic motion on the moduli space of static solutions, a six-dimensional manifold with non-trivial…
The slow motion of a self-gravitating CP^1 lump is investigated in the approximation of geodesic flow on the moduli space of unit degree static solutions M_1. It is found that moduli which are frozen in the absence of gravity, parametrizing…
It is proved that the moduli space of static solutions of the CP^1 model on spacetime Sigma x R, where Sigma is any compact Riemann surface, is geodesically incomplete with respect to the metric induced by the kinetic energy functional. The…
We examine the low-energy dynamics of CP^1 lumps coupled to gravity, taking into account the gravitational back-reaction of the spacetime geometry. We show that the single lump moduli space is equipped with a three-dimensional metric, and…
We present our results of a numerical investigation of the behaviour of a system of two solitons in the (2+1) dimensional $CP^1$ model on a torus. Defined by the elliptic function of Weierstrass, and working in the Skyrme version of the…
Let $\Sigma$ be a compact Riemann surface and $\h_{d,k}(\Sigma)$ denote the space of degree $d\geq 1$ holomorphic maps $\Sigma\ra \CP^k$. In theoretical physics this arises as the moduli space of charge $d$ lumps (or instantons) in the…
In bosonic field theories the low-energy scattering of solitons that saturate Bogomol'nyi-type bounds can be approximated as geodesic motion on the moduli space of static solutions. In this paper we consider the analogous issue within the…
We construct symbolic dynamics on sets of full measure (w.r.t. an ergodic measure of positive entropy) for $C^{1+\epsilon}$ flows on compact smooth three-dimensional manifolds. One consequence is that the geodesic flow on the unit tangent…
This paper is a review on recently found connection between geodesically equivalent metrics and integrable geodesic flows. Suppose two different metrics on one manifold have the same geodesics. We show that then the geodesic flows of these…
Harmonic maps that minimise the Dirichlet energy in their homotopy classes are known as lumps. Lump solutions on real projective space are explicitly given by rational maps subject to a certain symmetry requirement. This has consequences…
We study singularity formation in spherically symmetric solitons of the charge one sector of the (2+1) dimensional S^2 sigma model, also known as $\IC P^1$ wave maps, in the adiabatic limit. These equations are non-integrable, and so…
We study invariant manifolds of measure-valued solutions of the partial differential equation for geodesic flow of a pressureless fluid. These solutions describe interaction dynamics on lower-dimensional support sets; for example, curves,…
Various problems of geometry, topology and dynamical systems on surfaces as well as some questions concerning one-dimensional dynamical systems lead to the study of closed surfaces endowed with a flat metric with several cone-type…
We show that for dynamically convex contact forms in three dimensions, the cylindrical contact homology differential d can be defined by directly counting holomorphic cylinders for a generic almost complex structure, without any abstract…
Although infinite cylinders are not astrophysical entities, it is possible to learn a great deal about the basic qualitative features of generation of gravitational waves and the behavior of the matter conforming such shells in the limits…
Classical Heisenberg spins in the continuum limit (i.e. the nonlinear sigma-model) are studied on an elastic cylinder section with homogeneous boundary conditions. The latter may serve as a physical realization of magnetically coated…
Consider $ G:= PSL_2(\R)\equiv T^1\H^2$, a modular group $ \Gamma$, and the homogeneous space $ \Gamma\sm G \equiv T^1(\Gamma\sm\H^2)$. Endow $ G $, and then $ \Gamma\sm G $, with a canonical left-invariant metric, thereby equipping it with…
Active emulsions and liquid crystalline shells are intriguing and experimentally realisable types of topological matter. Here we numerically study the morphology and spatiotemporal dynamics of a double emulsion, where one or two passive…
