We study an equation lying `mid-way' between the periodic Hunter-Saxton and Camassa-Holm equations, and which describes evolution of rotators in liquid crystals with external magnetic field and self-interaction. We prove that it is an Euler equation on the diffeomorphism group of the circle corresponding to a natural r…

We study geodesic equations for a family of right-invariant Riemannian metrics on the group of diffeomorphisms of a compact manifold. The metrics descend to Fisher's information metric on the space of smooth probability densities. The right reduced geodesic equations are higher-dimensional generalisations of the $μ$--H…

We propose a new two-component geodesic equation with the unusual property that the underlying space has constant positive curvature. In the special case of one space dimension, the equation reduces to the two-component Hunter-Saxton equation.

Many important equations of mathematical physics arise geometrically as geodesic equations on Lie groups. In this paper, we study an example of a geodesic equation, the two-component Hunter-Saxton (2HS) system, that displays a number of unique geometric features. We show that 2HS describes the geodesic flow on a manifo…

In this review article we discuss four recent methods for computing Maurer-Cartan structure equations of symmetry groups of differential equations.

In this article we study Sobolev metrics of order one on diffeomorphism groups on the real line. We prove that the space $\operatorname{Diff}_{1}(\mathbb R)$ equipped with the homogenous Sobolev metric of order one is a flat space in the sense of Riemannian geometry, as it is isometric to an open subset of a mapping sp…

We show that the two-component Hunter-Saxton system with negative coupling constant describes the geodesic flow on an infinite-dimensional pseudosphere. This approach yields explicit solution formulae for the Hunter-Saxton system. Using this geometric intuition, we conclude by constructing global weak solutions. The ma…

We derive a new variational principle, leading to a new momentum map and a new multisymplectic formulation for a family of Euler--Poincaré equations defined on the Virasoro-Bott group, by using the inverse map (also called `back-to-labels' map). This family contains as special cases the well-known Korteweg-de Vries, Ca…

We determine the Lie point symmetries of the Fokker-Planck equation and provide examples of solutions of this equation.
