A structure of the solenoidal 2D vector and 2-tensor fields given in a domain with the conformal Riemannian metric

The Helmholtz decomposition of a vector field on potential and solenoidal parts is much more natural from physical and geometric points of view then representations through the components of the vector in the Cartesian coordinate system of Euclidean space. The structure, representation through potentials and detailed decomposition for 2D symmetric m-tensor fields in a case of the Euclidean metric is known. For the Riemannian metrics similar results are known for vector fields. We investigate the properties of the solenoidal vector and 2-tensor two-dimensional fields given in the Riemannian domain with the conformal metric and establish the connections between the fields and metrics.

The 3D Navier–Stokes Equations: Invariants, Local and Global Solutions

In this article, I consider local solutions of the 3D Navier–Stokes equations and its properties such as an existence of global and smooth solution, uniform boundedness. The basic role is assigned to a special invariant class of solenoidal vector fields and three parameters that are invariant with respect to the scaling procedure. Since in spaces of even dimensions the scaling procedure is a conformal mapping on the Heisenberg group, then an application of invariant parameters can be considered as the application of conformal invariants. It gives the possibility to prove the sufficient and necessary conditions for existence of a global regular solution. This is the main result and one among some new statements. With some compliments, the rest improves well-known classical results.

Sharp decay estimates in a bioconvection model with quadratic degradation in bounded domains

The paper studies large time behaviour of solutions to the Keller–Segel system with quadratic degradation in a liquid environment, as given byunder Neumann boundary conditions in a bounded domain Ω ⊂ ℝn, where n ≥ 1 is arbitrary. It is shown that whenever U : Ω × (0,∞) → ℝn is a bounded and sufficiently regular solenoidal vector field any non-trivial global bounded solution of (⋆) approaches the trivial equilibrium at a rate that, with respect to the norm in either of the spaces L1(Ω) and L∞(Ω), can be controlled from above and below by appropriate multiples of 1/(t + 1). This underlines that, even up to this quantitative level of accuracy, the large time behaviour in (⋆) is essentially independent not only of the particular fluid flow, but also of any effect originating from chemotactic cross-diffusion. The latter is in contrast to the corresponding Cauchy problem, for which known results show that in the n = 2 case the presence of chemotaxis can significantly enhance biomixing by reducing the respective spatial L1 norms of solutions.
