Symplectic Structures and Dynamics on Vortex Membranes
4:00pm|S-101

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...

On Conjugacy of Convex Billiards
2:00pm|S-101

There are indications that in the 80s Guillemin posed a question: If billiard maps are conjugate, can we say that domains are the same up to isometry? On one side, we show that conjugacy of different domains can't be C^1 near the boundary. In...
