英文摘要：

We demonstrate that the surface quasi-geostrophic (SQG) equation given by $$θ_t + \left<u, \nabla θ\right>= 0,\;\;\; θ= \nabla \times (-Δ)^{-1/2} u,$$ is the geodesic equation on the group of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms of a Riemannian manifold $M$ in the right-invariant $\dot{H}^{-1/2}$ metric. We show by example, that the Riemannian exponential map is smooth and non-Fredholm, and that the sectional curvature at the identity is unbounded of both signs.

Vanishing distance phenomena and the geometric approach to SQG

In this article we study the induced geodesic distance of fractional order Sobolev metrics on the groups of (volume preserving) diffeomorphisms and symplectomorphisms. The interest in these geometries is fueled by the observation that they allow for a geometric interpretation for prominent partial differential equations in the field of fluid dynamics. These include in particular the modified Constantin-Lax-Majda and surface quasi-geostrophic equations. The main result of this article shows that both of these equations stem from a Riemannian metric with vanishing geodesic distance.

Quadratic first integrals of geodesic equations of the special type 6-dimensional h-spaces

In this note we find a 6-dimensional h-spaces of the $[(21...1)(21...1)...(1...1)]$ type and then determine quadratic first integrals of the geodesic equations of these h-spaces.

Vanishing geodesic distance for the Riemannian metric with geodesic equation the KdV-equation

The Virasoro-Bott group endowed with the right-invariant $L^2$-metric (which is a weak Riemannian metric) has the KdV-equation as geodesic equation. We prove that this metric space has vanishing geodesic distance.

Constructing a Space from the System of Geodesic Equations

Given a space it is easy to obtain the system of geodesic equations on it. In this paper the inverse problem of reconstructing the space from the geodesic equations is addressed. A procedure is developed for obtaining the metric tensor from the Christoffel symbols. The procedure is extended for determining if a second order quadratically semi-linear system can be expressed as a system of geodesic equations, provided it has terms only quadratic in the first derivative apart from the second derivative term. A computer code has been developed for dealing with larger systems of geodesic equations.

A two-component geodesic equation on a space of constant positive curvature

We propose a new two-component geodesic equation with the unusual property that the underlying space has constant positive curvature. In the special case of one space dimension, the equation reduces to the two-component Hunter-Saxton equation.

Regularity of geodesic rays and Monge-Ampere equations

It is shown that the geodesic rays constructed as limits of Bergman geodesics from a test configuration are always of class $C^{1,α}, 0<α<1$. An essential step is to establish that the rays can be extended as solutions of a Dirichlet problem for a Monge-Ampere equation on a Kaehler manifold which is compact.

On the geometry of conformal geodesics equations

We answer to the question whether a system of the 3rd order ODEs describes geodesics of a conformal structure. We construct a functor from a category of conformal geometries to a category of Cartan geometries associated to the 3rd order ODEs systems. Explicit formulas which define the family of all equations on conformal geodesics are given in the last section of the article.

Weak Geodesics for the deformed Hermitian-Yang-Mills equation

We study weak geodesics in the space of potentials for the deformed Hermitian-Yang-Mills equation. The geodesic equation can be formulated as a degenerate elliptic equation, allowing us to employ nonlinear Dirichlet duality theory, as developed by Harvey-Lawson. By exploiting the convexity of the level sets of the Lagrangian angle operator in the highest branch, we are able to construct continuous solutions of the associated Dirichlet problem.

Approximate symmetries of geodesic equations on 2-spheres

Approximate symmetries of geodesic equations on 2-spheres are studied. These are the symmetries of the perturbed geodesic equations which represent approximate path of a particle rather than exact path. After giving the exact symmetries of the geodesic equations, two different approaches to study the approximate symmetries of the approximate geodesic equations show that no non-trivial approximate symmetry for these spaces exists.

The evolution equations for regularized Dirac-geodesics

We study the evolution equations for a regularized version of Dirac-geodesics, which are the one-dimensional version of Dirac-harmonic maps. We show that for the regularization being sufficiently large, the evolution equations subconverge to a regularized Dirac-geodesic. In the end, we discuss the limiting process of removing the regularization.
