In this paper for a given Banach, possibly infinite dimensional, manifold M we focus on the geometry of its iterated tangent bundle TrM, r ∈ ℕ ∪ {∞}. First we endow TrM with a canonical atlas using that of M. Then the concepts of vertical and complete lifts for functions and vector fields on TrM are defined which they will play a pivotal role in our next studies i.e. complete lift of (semi)sprays. Afterward we supply T∞M with a generalized Fréchet manifold structure and we will show that any vector field or (semi)spray on M, can be lifted to a vector field or (semi)spray on T∞M. Then, despite of the natural difficulties with non-Banach modeled manifolds, we will discuss about the ordinary differential equations on T∞M including integral curves, flows and geodesics. Finally, as an example, we apply our results to the infinite-dimensional case of manifold of closed curves.

AbstractFor certainCr3-dimensional cooperative or competitive vector fieldsF, whereris any positive integer, it is shown that for any nonwandering pointp, every neighborhood ofFin theCrtopology contains a vector field for whichpis periodic, and which agrees withFoutside a given neighborhood ofp. The proof is based on the existence of invariant planar surfaces throughp.

In the present paper, we introduce a new class of natural metrics on the tangent bundle $TM$ of the Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ denoted by $G^{f,h}$ which is named a twisted Sasakian metric. A necessary and sufficient conditions under which a vector field is harmonic with respect to the twisted Sasakian metric are established. Some examples of harmonic vector fields are presented as well.

The scope of the paper is twofold. We show that for a large class of measurable vector fields in the sense of Weaver (i.e. derivations over the algebra of Lipschitz functions), called in the paper laminated, the notion of integral curves may be naturally defined and characterized (when appropriate) by an ordinary differential equation. We further show that for such vector fields the notion of a flow of the given positive Borel measure similar to the classical one generated by a smooth vector field (in a space with smooth structure) may be defined in a reasonable way, so that the measure ‘flows along’ the appropriately understood integral curves of the given vector field and the classical continuity equation is satisfied in the weak sense.

AbstractIn this paper we study a particular parametric family of differential equations, the so-called Linear Polyanin-Zaitsev Vector Field, which has been introduced in a general case in [1] as a correction of a family presented in [2]. Linear Polyanin-Zaitsev Vector Field is transformed into a Liénard equation and, in particular, we obtain the Van Der Pol equation. We present some algebraic and qualitative results to illustrate some interactions between algebra and the qualitative theory of differential equations in this parametric family.

This chapter investigates the Duistermaat–Heckman theorem using the theory of hyperfunctions. In applications involving Hamiltonian torus actions on infinite-dimensional manifolds, the more general theory seems to be necessary in order to accommodate the existence of the infinite-order differential operators which arise from the isotropy representations on the tangent spaces to fixed points. The chapter quickly reviews the theory of hyperfunctions and their Fourier transforms. It then applies this theory to construct a hyperfunction analogue of the Duistermaat–Heckman distribution. The main goal will be to study the Duistermaat–Heckman distribution of the loop space of SU(2) but it will also characterize the singular locus of the moment map for the Hamiltonian action of T×S 1 on the loop space of G. The main goal of this chapter is to present a Duistermaat–Heckman hyperfunction arising from a Hamiltonian group action on an infinite-dimensional manifold.

In this paper, we use of the geometry of a class of the nature flows to define trajectory manifolds. Trajectory connections as a generalization of the Levi-Civita connections are considered. A method for determining the geometry of the flows created by the integral curves of a vector field is presented. The method contains two steps, the first step is finding the connection by the trajectories of a vector field, and the second step is finding a trajectory metric corresponding to the deduced connection. We show that doing the first step is possible, but for some of the vector fields, the second step may not be possible. In the case of existence of a trajectory manifold a new kind of curvature which we called it “trajectory curvature scalar” appears. We calculate trajectory connections for some vector fields and by an example we show that the trajectory curvature scalar for a trajectory manifold may not be equal to the curvature scalar of it. We find trajectory connection for a vector field close to the Schwarzschild black hole.

AbstractLet X, H+, H− be vector fields tangent, respectively, to an Anosov flow and its expanding and contracting foliations in a compact three-dimensional manifold, with γ, α+, α− one forms dual to them. If α+([H+, H−]) = α−([H+, H−]) and γ([H+, H−]) = α−([X, H−]) − α+([X, H+]), then the manifold has the structure of the unit tangent bundle of a Riemannian orbifold with geodesic flow field X.

The objectives of this paper are to define and to characterize submersive second order ordinary differential equations (ODE) and to examine several situations in which such ODE occur. This definition and characterization is in terms of tangent bundle geometry as developed in [4, 6, 7, 10, 11, 14]. From this viewpoint second order ODE are identified with a special vector field on the tangent bundle. The ODE are said to be submersive when this vector field and the canonical vertical endomorphism [14] define a foliation, relative to which the vector field passes to the local quotient.
