The Godbillon-Vey Invariant as Topological Vorticity Compression and Obstruction to Steady Flow in Ideal Fluids

The Godbillon-Vey Invariant as a Restricted Casimir of Three-dimensional Ideal Fluids

We show the Godbillon-Vey invariant arises as a `restricted Casimir' invariant for three-dimensional ideal fluids associated to a foliation. We compare to a finite-dimensional system, the rattleback, where analogous phenomena occur.

A Crossed Module giving the Godbillon-Vey Cocycle

We find crossed modules, i.e. certain 4 term exact sequences, associated to the Godbillon-Vey class for W_1, Vect(S^1), Vect_{1,0}(Σ) and Hol(Σ_r), i.e. for the Lie algebras of formal vector fields in 1 variable, vector fields on the circle, differentiable vector fields of holomorphic type on a Riemann surface and holomorphic vector fields on an open Riemann surface.

Godbillon-Vey Helicity and Magnetic Helicity in Magnetohydrodynamics

The Godbillon-Vey invariant occurs in homology theory, and algebraic topology, when conditions for a co-dimension 1, foliation of a 3D manifold are satisfied. The magnetic Godbillon-Vey helicity invariant in magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) is a higher order helicity invariant that occurs for flows, in which the magnetic helicity density $h_m={\bf A}{\bf\cdot}{\bf B}={\bf A}{\bf\cdot}(\nabla\times{\bf A})=0$, where ${\bf A}$ is the magnetic vector potential and ${\bf B}$ is the magnetic induction. This paper obtains evolution equations for the magnetic Godbillon-Vey field $\boldsymbolη={\bf A}\times…

Abelian gerbes, generalized geometries and foliations of small exotic R^4

In the paper we prove the existence of the strict but relative relation between small exotic $\mathbb{R}^{4}$ for a fixed radial family of DeMichelis-Freedman type, and cobordism classes of codimension one foliations of $S^{3}$ distinguished by the Godbillon-Vey invariant, $GV\in H^{3}(S^{3},\mathbb{R})$ (represented by a 3-form). This invariant can be integrated to get the Godbillon-Vey number. For a fixed radial family, we will show that the isotopy classes (invariance w.r.t. small diffeomorphisms or coordinate transformations) of all members in this family are distinguished by the Godbillon…
