Typical field lines of Beltrami flows and boundary field line behaviour of Beltrami flows on simply connected, compact, smooth manifolds with boundary

We characterise the boundary field line behaviour of Beltrami flows on compact, connected manifolds with vanishing first de Rham cohomology group. Namely we show that except for an at most nowhere…
Topological Features Of Inviscid Flows
- Mathematics

The Euler equations for an incompressible inviscid fluid in dimension three possess a wealth of topological phenomena woven into the dynamical and geometric properties of the fluid. Focusing first on…
Bi-invariant metric on volume-preserving diffeomorphisms group of a three-dimensional manifold

We show the existence of a weak bi-invariant symmetric nondegenerate 2-form on the volume-preserving diffeomorphism group of a three-dimensional manifold and study its properties. Despite the fact…

We discuss three mathematical structures which arise in topologically massive Abelian gauge theory. First, the Euclidean topologically massive Abelian gauge theory defines a contact structure on a…

Physics as Infinite-dimensional Geometry III: Configuration Space Spinor Structure
- Mathematics

There are three separate approaches to the challenge of constructing WCW Kahler geometry and spinor structure. The first approach relies on a direct guess of Kahler function. Second approach relies…
TOPOLOGICAL GEOMETRODYNAMICS: AN OVERVIEW
- Physics
- 2018
If I remember correctly, I got the basic idea of Topological Geometrodynamics (TGD) during autumn 1977, perhaps it was October. What I realized was that the representability of physical space-times…

A contact structure £ on a 3-manifold M is called tight if the characteristic foliation of any embedded disc D has no limit cycle, and £ is called overtwisted if otherwise. The classification of over…
