Generic and stability properties of reciprocal and pseudogradient vector fields
In this paper we deal with reversible vector fields on a 2-dimensional manifold having a codimension one submanifold as its symmetry axis. We classify generically the one parameter families of such vector fields. As a matter of fact, aspects of structural stability and codimension one bifurcation are analysed.
We study the generic invariant probability measures for the geodesic flow on connected complete nonpositively curved manifolds. Under a mild technical assumption, we prove that ergodicity is a generic property in the set of probability measures defined on the unit tangent bundle of the manifold and supported by trajectories not bounding a flat strip. This is done by showing that Dirac measures on periodic orbits are dense in that set.In the case of a compact surface, we get the following sharp result:...
Cascade second order ODEs on manifolds are defined. These objects are locally represented by coupled second order ODEs such that any solution of one of them can represent an external force for the other one. A generic saddle-node bifurcation theorem for 1-parameter families of cascade second order ODEs is proved.
An isotypic Kronecker web is a family of corank m foliations such that the curve of annihilators t ↦ (T x F t)⊥ ∈ Grm(T x* M) is a rational normal curve in the Grassmannian Grm(T x*M) at any point x ∈ M. For m = 1 we get Veronese webs introduced by I. Gelfand and I. Zakharevich [Gelfand I.M., Zakharevich I., Webs, Veronese curves, and bi-Hamiltonian systems, J. Funct. Anal., 1991, 99(1), 150–178]. In the present paper, we consider the problem of local classification of isotypic Kronecker webs...
The geometry of second-order systems of ordinary differential equations represented by -connections on the trivial bundle is studied. The formalism used, being completely utilizable within the framework of more general situations (partial equations), turns out to be of interest in confrontation with a traditional approach (semisprays), moreover, it amounts to certain new ideas and results. The paper is aimed at discussion on the interrelations between all types of connections having to do with...
We compute cohomology spaces of Lie algebras that describe differential invariants of third order ordinary differential equations. We prove that the algebra of all differential invariants is generated by 2 tensorial invariants of order 2, one invariant of order 3 and one invariant of order 4. The main computational tool is a Serre-Hochschild spectral sequence and the representation theory of semisimple Lie algebras. We compute differential invariants up to degree 2 as application.
Pour tout triplet d’entiers tels que , se pose la question d’étudier les germes de difféomorphismes ou de champs de vecteurs sur , de classe , -déterminés en classe , c’est-à-dire respectivement conjugués ou équivalents en classe , à tout germe ayant la même classe et le même -jet. Cette question est abordée ici, avec quelque généralité en dimension 2 et pour les germes de champs de vecteurs de codimension 2, en dimension 3 et 4. Une conséquence de cette dernière étude est l’existence...
