Maximally Non–integrable Plane Fields on Thurston Geometries
نویسنده
چکیده
We study Thurston geometries (X, G) with contact structures and Engel structures which are compatible with the action of the isometry group G. We classify geometric contact structures and geometric Engel structures up to equivalence and we compare the geometric Engel structures with other constructions of Engel manifolds.

Integrable Equations and Motions of Plane Curves
The connection between motion of space or plane curves and integrable equations has drawn wide interest in the past and many results have been obtained. The pioneering work is due to Hasimoto where he showed in [1] that the nonlinear Schrödinger equation describes the motion of an isolated non-stretching thin vortex filament. Lamb [2] used the Hasimoto transformation to connect other motions of...
متن کاملRandom Vortex Method for Geometries with Unsolvable Schwarz-Christoffel Formula
In this research we have implemented the Random Vortex Method to calculate velocity fields of fluids inside open cavities in both turbulent and laminar flows. the Random Vortex Method is a CFD method (in both turbulent and laminar fields) which needs the Schwarz-Christoffel transformation formula to map the physical geometry into the upper half plane. In some complex geometries like the flow in...
متن کاملOn the Contact Topology and Geometry of Ideal Fluids
We survey certain topological methods for problems in inviscid fluid dynamics in dimension three. The tools come from the topology of contact structures, or nowhere-integrable plane fields. The applications are most robust in the setting of fluids on Riemannian three-manifolds which are not necessarily Euclidean. For example, these methods can be used to construct surprising examples of invisci...

The quantum dynamics of an electron in a uniform magnetic field is studied for geometries corresponding to integrable cases. We obtain the uniform asymptotic approximation of the WKB energies and wavefunctions for the semi-infinite plane and the disc. These analytical solutions are shown to be in excellent agreement with the numerical results obtained from the Schrödinger equations even for the...
