Theory of point vortices extended to closed surfaces.

New minimal surfaces found from vortex crystals.

This article introduces proximal planar vortex 1-cycles, resembling the structure of vortex atoms introduced by William Thomson (Lord Kelvin) in 1867 and recent work on the proximity of sets that overlap either spatially or descriptively. Vortex cycles resemble Thomson's model of a vortex atom, inspired by P.G. Tait's …

We derive an analytic formula for the hydrodynamic Green function and the Robin function on every orientable surface admitting a hydrodynamic Killing vector field. Closed-form expressions are provided for all fourteen canonical Riemann surfaces, covering both compact and non-compact cases; the formulae satisfy the slip…

Giving a new form of the vortex mode equation by a proper change of parameter, our aim is to analyze the point and contact symmetries of the new equation. Fundamental invariants and a form of general solutions of point transformations along with some specific examples are also derived.

Let L --> X be a complex line bundle over a compact connected Riemann surface. We consider the abelian vortex equations on L when the metric on the surface has finitely many point degeneracies or conical singularities and the line bundle has parabolic structure. These conditions appear naturally in the study of vortex …

New metrics help predict Brownian motion on surfaces and higher dimensions.

We study the topology of quasiperiodic solutions of the vortex filament equation in a neighborhood of multiply covered circles. We construct these solutions by means of a sequence of isoperiodic deformations, at each step of which a real double point is "unpinched" to produce a new pair of branch points and therefore a…

We present a Hamiltonian framework for higher-dimensional vortex filaments (or membranes) and vortex sheets as singular 2-forms with support of codimensions 2 and 1, respectively, i.e. singular elements of the dual to the Lie algebra of divergence-free vector fields. It turns out that the localized induction approximat…

We demonstrate that the five vortex equations recently introduced by Manton ariseas symmetry reductions of the anti-self-dual Yang--Mills equations in four dimensions. In particular the Jackiw--Pi vortex and the Ambjørn--Olesen vortex correspond to the gauge group $SU(1, 1)$, and respectively the Euclidean or the $SU(2…

The paper proves estimates for vortex-type equations on compact Riemann surfaces.

Vortex solutions on flat surfaces map to harmonic spinors on Nappi-Witten space.

This article introduces vortex nerve complexes in CW (Closure finite Weak) topological spaces, which first appeared in works by P. Alexandroff, H. Hopf and J.H.C. Whitehead during the 1930s. A vortex nerve is a CW complex containing one or more intersecting path-connected cycles. Each vortex nerve has its own distincti…

In this work we consider the gravitating vortex equations. These equations couple a metric over a compact Riemann surface with a hermitian metric over a holomorphic line bundle equipped with a fixed global section --- the Higgs field ---, and have a symplectic interpretation as moment-map equations. As a particular cas…

Paper solves vortex equations on complex surfaces, linking to Higgs bundle stability.

We obtain a Hitchin-Kobayashi-type correspondence for symplectic vortex equations, with the target a Kahler cone over a compact Sasakian manifold. We show that the correspondence reduces to studying the existence and uniqueness of Kazdan-Warner equations. Using this, we construct a map between the moduli space of solut…

Topologically protected vortex knots and links are proposed and proven.

Researchers create topologically protected knots in a realizable system.

At critical coupling, the interactions of Ginzburg-Landau vortices are determined by the metric on the moduli space of static solutions. The asymptotic form of the metric for two well separated vortices is shown here to be expressible in terms of a Bessel function. A straightforward extension gives the metric for N vor…

Study on elastic curves with variable stiffness, derived from bending energy.

In this note we quantize the usual symplectic (Kähler) form on the vortex moduli space by modifying the Quillen metric of the Quillen determinant line bundle.

We consider the vortex equations for a U(n) gauge field coupled to a Higgs field with values on the n times n square matrices. It is known that when these equations are defined on a compact Riemann surface, their moduli space of solutions is closely related to a moduli space of tau-stable holomorphic n-pairs on that su…

Study on half spheres solves Nirenberg problem with complex blow-up analysis.

The Seiberg-Witten equations are defined on certain complex line bundles over smooth oriented four manifolds. When the base manifold is a complex Kahler surface, the Seiberg-Witten equations are essentially the Abelian vortex equations. Using known non-abelian generalizations of the vortex equations as a guide, we expl…

The gauged sigma model with target $\mathbb{P}^1$, defined on a Riemann surface $Σ$, supports static solutions in which $k_+$ vortices coexist in stable equilibrium with $k_-$ antivortices. Their moduli space is a noncompact complex manifold $M_{(k_+,k_-)}(Σ)$ of dimension $k_++k_-$ which inherits a natural Kähler metr…

This article introduces an application of Ghrist barcodes in the study of persistent Betti numbers derived from vortex nerve complexes found in triangulations of video frames. A Ghrist barcode is a topology of data pictograph useful in representing the persistence of the features of changing shapes. The basic approach …

3D gauge theories link knot polynomials to vortex partition functions.

Paper shows existence of vortex solutions with specific decay properties.

We consider the self-dual vortex equations on a positive line bundle L --> M over a compact Kaehler manifold of arbitrary dimension. When M is simply connected, the moduli space of vortex solutions is a projective space. When M is an abelian variety, the moduli space is the projectivization of the Fourier-Mukai transfo…

Topology of vortex reconnection shows how knots transform.

The theory of the vortex filament in three-dimensional fluid dynamics, consisting mainly of the models up to the third-order approximation, is an attractive subject in both physics and mathematics. Many efforts have been devoted to the extension of the theory to higher-dimensional symmetric Lie algebras. However, such …

Extending work of Caffarelli-Yang and Tarantello, we present a variational existence proof for two-vortex solutions of the periodic Chern-Simons Higgs model and analyze the asymptotic behavior of these solutions as the parameter coupling the gauge field with the scalar field tends to 0.

It is known that given a stable holomorphic pair $(E ,φ)$, where $E$ is a holomorphic vector bundle on a compact Kähler manifold $X$ and $φ$ is a holomorphic section of $E$, the vector bundle $E$ admits a Hermitian metric solving the vortex equation. We generalize this to pairs $(\E ,φ)$, where $\E$ is a reflexive shea…

Invariants for colored links found, with topological protection of certain knots.

We introduce and illustrate a new approach to the unknotting problem via the dynamics of vortex strings in a nonlinear partial differential equation of reaction-diffusion type. To untangle a given knot, a Biot-Savart construction is used to initialize the knot as a vortex string in the FitzHugh-Nagumo equation. Remarka…

We introduce a notion of Gieseker stability for a filtered holomorphic vector bundle $F$ over a projective manifold. We relate it to an analytic condition in terms of hermitian metrics on $F$ coming from a construction of the Geometric Invariant Theory (G.I.T). These metrics are balanced in the sense of S.K. Donaldson.…

In differential-geometric language, vortex-lines equations on extended phase space of a system may be written as $i_{\dot γ}dσ=0$, where $σ$ is a differential 1-form. This is the structure, to give a paradigmatic example, of the Hamilton equations. Here, we study equations of the same structure, where $σ$ is a differen…

Neural Networks improve incompressible flow simulations without complex kernels.

For the class of quasi-periodic solutions of the vortex filament equation, we study connections between the algebro-geometric data used for their explicit construction and the geometry of the evolving curves. We give a complete description of genus one solutions, including geometrically interesting special cases such a…

In this mostly pedagogical tutorial article a brief introduction to modern geometrical treatment of fluid dynamics and electrodynamics is provided. The main technical tool is standard theory of differential forms. In fluid dynamics, the approach is based on general theory of integral invariants (due to Poincare and Car…

We study the limiting behaviour of solutions to abelian vortex equations when the volume of the underlying Riemann surface grows to infinity. We prove that the solutions converge smoothly away from finitely many points. The proof relies on a priori estimates for functions satisfying generalised Kazdan-Warner equations.…

Paper extends Kobayashi-Hitchin correspondence to non-Kähler manifolds.

In this paper we first show that on projective manifolds (M, ω), there are holomorphic determinant bundles (in the sense of Knusden-Mumford used by Bismut, Gillet, Soule) which play the role of the geometric quantum bundle, namely one for each input data of a Hermitian holomorphic line bundle L of non-trivial Chern cla…
