We prove a scattering result near certain steady states for a Hartree equation for a random field. This equation describes the evolution of a system of infinitely many particles. It is an analogous formulation of the usual Hartree equation…
The nonlinear Schroedinger model is a prototypical dispersive wave equation that features finite time blowup, either for supercritical exponents (for fixed dimension) or for supercritical dimensions (for fixed nonlinearity exponent). Upon…
We review our recent work on ellipsoidal M2-brane solutions in the large-N limit of the BMN matrix model. These bosonic finite-energy membranes live inside SO(3)xSO(6) symmetric plane-wave spacetimes and correspond to local extrema of the…

We consider the Cauchy problem for the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation on $\mathbb{R}^2$, $iu_t + u_{xx} + u_{yy} + \lambda|u|^\sigma u =0$, $\lambda\in \mathbb{R}$, $\sigma>0$. We introduce new functional spaces over which the initial…
We study bosonic and space-time supersymmetric membranes with small tensions corresponding to stretched configurations. Using a generalized lightcone gauge, one may set up a perturbation theory around configurations having zero tension. We…

We study two spiked models of random matrices under general frameworks corresponding respectively to additive deformation of random symmetric matrices and multiplicative perturbation of random covariance matrices. In both cases, the…

We desribe the minimal configurations of the bosonic membrane potential, when the membrane wraps up in an irreducible way over $S^{1}\times S^{1}$. The membrane 2-dimensional spatial world volume is taken as a Riemann Surface of genus $g$…
We use variable transformation from the real line to finite or semi-infinite spaces where we expand the regular solution of the 1D time-independent Schrodinger equation in terms of square integrable bases. We also require that the basis…
In this paper, we discuss problems arising when computing resonances with a finite element method. In the pre-asymptotic regime, we detect for the one dimensional case, spurious solutions in finite element computations of resonances when…
In this paper, we consider a sorting scheme for potentially spurious scattering resonant pairs in one- and two-dimensional electromagnetic problems and in three-dimensional acoustic problems. The novel sorting scheme is based on a…
We study rigidly rotating strings in the near horizon geometry of the 1+1 dimensional intersection of two orthogonal stacks of NS5-branes, the so called I-brane background. We solve the equations of motion of the fundamental string action…
