Study on Hermitian Calabi functional in complexified orbits of symplectic manifolds.

An area-preserving diffeomorphism of an annulus has an "action function" which measures how the diffeomorphism distorts curves. The average value of the action function over the annulus is known as the Calabi invariant of the diffeomorphism, while the average value of the action function over a periodic orbit of the di…

Locally maximizing orbits studied in twist maps and billiards.

We introduce a class of regularisable infinite dimensional principal fibre bundles which includes fibre bundles arising in gauge field theories like Yang-Mills and string theory and which generalise finite dimensional Riemannian principal fibre bundles induced by an isometric action. We show that the orbits of regulari…

Researchers describe Casimir functions for 3- and 4-step nilpotent Lie groups.

Let Ĝ be a complex semisimple Lie group, Q a parabolic subgroup and G a real form of Ĝ. The flag manifold Ĝ/Q decomposes into finitely many G-orbits; among them there is exactly one orbit of minimal dimension, which is compact. We study these minimal orbits from the point of view of CR geometry. In particular we charac…

The main theme of this paper is a relative version of the almost existence theorem for periodic orbits of autonomous Hamiltonian systems. We show that almost all low levels of a function on a geometrically bounded symplectically aspherical manifold carry contractible periodic orbits of the Hamiltonian flow, provided th…

The paper characterizes potential functions whose level sets are orbits in mechanical systems.

For a stratified symplectic space, a suitable concept of stratified Kaehler polarization, defined in terms of an appropriate Lie-Rinehart algebra, encapsulates Kaehler polarizations on the strata and the behaviour of the polarizations across the strata and leads to the notion of stratified Kaehler space. This notion es…

This thesis explores Hamiltonian systems and Kähler structures on complex coadjoint orbits.

We study orbital functions associated to finitely generated geometrically infinite Kleinian groups acting on the hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^3$, developing a new method based on the use of the Brownian motion. On the way, we give some estimates of the orbital function associated to nilpotent covers of compact hyperbol…

It is known that nilpotent orbits in a complex simple Lie algebra admit hyperKähler metrics with a single function that is a global potential for each of the Kähler structures (a hyperKähler potential). In an earlier paper the authors showed that nilpotent orbits in classical Lie algebras can be constructed as finite-d…

The paper studies time-optimal problems on specific Lie groups, describing orbits and integrals.

Geometrically, the first Betti number of orbits is linked to the Kronrod-Reeb graph.

Via a non degenerate symmetric bilinear form we identify the coadjoint representation with a new representation and so we induce on the orbits a simplectic form. By considering Hamiltonian systems on the orbits we study some features of them and finally find commuting functions under the corresponding Lie-Poisson brack…

Study of MHD equilibria with orientation-reversing symmetry, showing all orbits are periodic.

This paper classifies geodesic orbit metrics on compact Lie group $G_2$.

We consider the flows generated by generic gradients of Morse maps of a closed connected manifold $M$ to a circle. To each such flow we associate an invariant counting the closed orbits of the flow. Each closed orbit is counted with the weight derived from its index and homotopy class. The resulting invariant is called…

We consider a compact manifold of dimension greater than 2 and a differential form of degree one which is closed but non-exact. This form, viewed as a multi-valued function has a gradient vector field with respect to any Riemannian metric. After S. Novikov's work and a complement by J.-C. Sikorav, under some genericity…

In this paper we consider the Poisson algebraic structure associated with a classical $r$-matrix, i.e. with a solution of the modified classical Yang--Baxter equation. In Section 1 we recall the concept and basic facts of the $r$-matrix type Poisson orbits. Then we describe the $r$-matrix Poisson pencil (i.e the pair o…

New model calculates Wilson surfaces in higher gauge theory.

This paper develops a geometric framework for Wilson surfaces in higher gauge theory.

In this paper we prove the following result: if two 2-dimensional 2-homogeneous rational vector fields commute, then either both vector fields can be explicitly integrated to produce rational flows with orbits being lines through the origin, or both flows can be explicitly integrated in terms of algebraic functions. In…

Study limits of adjoint orbits for Lie groups, describing nilpotent orbits.

We will show that the period $T$ of a closed orbit of the planar circular restricted three-body problem (viewed on rotating coordinates) depends on the region it encloses. Roughly speaking, we show that, $2 T=kπ+\int_Ωg$ where $k$ is an integer, $Ω$ is the region enclosed by the periodic orbit and $g:\mathbb{R}^2\to \m…

In this paper, we address the problem of determining a function in terms of its orbital integrals on Lorentzian symmetric spaces. It has been solved by S. Helgason for even-dimensional isotropic Lorentzian symmetric spaces via a limit formula involving the Laplace-Beltrami operator. The result has been extended by J. O…

Deep neural network predicts molecular wave functions in minimal basis.

Let $(F_t)$ be a smooth flow on a smooth manifold $M$ and $h:M\to M$ be a smooth orbit preserving map. The following problem is studied: suppose that for every point $z$ of $M$ there exists a germ of a smooth function $f_z$ at $z$ such that near $z$ we have that $h(x)=F_{f_z(x)}(x)$. Can the functions $(f_z)$ be glued …

We solve integrable systems to describe the motion of Kaleidocycles.

We consider the closed orbit structure of generic gradient flows of Morse closed 1-forms. The torsion of a chain homotopy equivalence between the Novikov complex and the completed simplicial chain complex of the universal cover detects the eta function of the flow. We extend this result to arbitrary Morse closed 1-form…

The main result of this paper is, that for convex billiards in higher dimensions, in contrast with 2D case, for every point on the boundary and for every $n$ there always exist billiard trajectories developing conjugate points at the $n$-th collision with the boundary. We shall explain that this is a consequence of the…

The study proves curvature bounds for quotient spaces of isometric actions.

In this note we study numerically the combinatorics of curves and geodesics on the torus with one boundary component. A potential computational difficulty is avoided by counting inside specific orbits of the mapping class group up to a certain length, either geometric or combinatorial. Some cases are rigurolosly determ…

Darboux inverses explain Kepler orbits on curved surfaces.

Polynomial density theorem for specific subgroup orbits in quotient spaces.

Let $f:T^2\to\mathbb{R}$ be a Morse function on $2$-torus $T^2$ such that its Kronrod-Reeb graph $Γ(f)$ has exactly one cycle, i.e. it is homotopy equivalent to $S^1$. Under some additional conditions we describe a homotopy type of the orbit of $f$ with respect to the action of the group of diffeomorphism of $T^2$. Thi…

We will prove the equivariant version of Smale's transversality theorem: suppose that the compact Lie-group G acts on the compact differentiable manifold M on which an invariant Morse-function f and an invariant vector field X are given so that X is gradient-like with respect to f (i.e. X(f)<0 away from critical orbits…

Novikov's problem of semiclassical orbits of quasi-electrons in a normal metal leads to a correspondance between 3-ply periodic functions in R and fractals in R P^2. These fractals are the complement of infinitely many open sets labeled by integer 2-cycles of T^3. Here we present a characterization of the fractal point…
