This paper is devoted to the study of a turbulent circulation model. Equations are derived from the “Navier-Stokes turbulent kinetic energy” system. Some simplifications are performed but attention is focused on non linearities linked to turbulent eddy viscosity ${\nu }_t$. The mixing length $\ell$ acts as a parameter which controls the turbulent part in ${\nu }_t$. The main theoretical results that we have obtained concern the uniqueness of the solution for bounded eddy viscosities and small values of $\ell$ and its asymptotic...

We show how an operation of inf-convolution can be used to approximate convex functions with C1 smooth convex functions on Riemannian manifolds with nonpositive curvature (in a manner that not only is explicit but also preserves some other properties of the original functions, such as ordering, symmetries, infima and sets of minimizers), and we give some applications.

In this paper, we construct a hyperkähler structure on the complexification ${𝒪}^{ℂ}$ of any Hermitian symmetric affine coadjoint orbit $𝒪$ of a semi-simple $L^{*}$-group of compact type, which is compatible with the complex symplectic form of Kirillov-Kostant-Souriau and restricts to the Kähler structure of $𝒪$. By a relevant identification of the complex orbit ${𝒪}^{ℂ}$ with the cotangent space $T𝒪$ of $𝒪$ induced by Mostow’s decomposition theorem, this leads to the existence of a hyperkähler structure on $T𝒪$ compatible with...

On démontre dans cet article des versions probabilistes des injections de Sobolev sur une variété riemannienne compacte, $(M,g)$. Plus précisément on démontre que pour des mesures de probabilité naturelles sur l’espace $L^2\left(M\right)$, presque toute fonction appartient à tous les espaces $L^p\left(M\right)$, $p\<+\infty$. On donne ensuite des applications à l’étude des harmoniques sphériques sur la sphère ${𝕊}^d$ : on démontre (encore pour des mesures de probabilité naturelles) que presque toute base hilbertienne de $L^2\left({𝕊}^d\right)$ formée d’harmoniques sphériques...
