We study the blow-up dynamics for the energy-critical 1-corotational wave maps problem with 2-sphere target. In arXiv:0911.0692, Rapha\"el and Rodnianski exhibited a stable finite time blow-up dynamics arising from smooth initial data. In…

An improvement of [18] on the blow-up region and the lifespan estimate of a weakly coupled system of wave equations with damping and mass in the scale-invariant case and with time-derivative nonlinearity is obtained in this article. Indeed,…

We consider the semilinear wave equation $$\partial_t^2 u -\Delta u =f(u), \quad (x,t)\in \mathbb R^N\times [0,T),\qquad (1)$$ with $f(u)=|u|^{p-1}u\log^a (2+u^2)$, where $p>1$ and $a\in \mathbb R$, with subconformal power nonlinearity. We…

We prove uniqueness of solutions to the wave map equation in the natural class, namely $ (u, \partial_t u) \in C([0,T); \dot{H}^{d/2})\times C^1([0,T); \dot{H}^{d/2-1})$ in dimensions $d\geq 4$. This is achieved through estimating the…

Spontaneous collapse models are modifications of standard quantum mechanics in which a physical mechanism is responsible for the collapse of the wavefunction, thus providing a way to solve the so-called "measurement problem". The two most…
