We prove that a general class of nonlinear, non-autonomous ODEs in Fr\'echet spaces are close to ODEs in a specific normal form, where closeness means that solutions of the normal form ODE satisfy the original ODE up to a residual that…
We prove that Picard-Lindel\"of iterations for an arbitrary smooth normal Cauchy problem for PDE converge if we assume a suitable Weissinger-like sufficient condition. This condition includes both a large class of non-analytic PDE or…
We obtain global and local theorems on the existence of invariant manifolds for perturbations of non autonomous linear differential equations assuming a very general form of dichotomic behavior for the linear equation. Besides some new…
We study geodesics on hypersurfaces close to the standard (n-1)-dimensional sphere in n-dimensional Euclidean space. Following Poincar\'e, we treat the problem within the framework of the analytical mechanics, and employ the perturbation…
In two-dimensional statistical models possessing a discretely holomorphic parafermion, we introduce a modified discrete Cauchy-Riemann equation on the boundary of the domain, and we show that the solution of this equation yields integrable…
We construct an infinite family of mutually non-diffeomorphic irreducible smooth structures on the topological 4-manifold $S^2 \times S^2$.
We consider the pressureless Euler-Poisson equations with quadratic confinement. For spatial dimension $d\ge 2,\,d\ne 4$, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of radial global smooth solutions, which is formulated…
We compute the waves propagating on a compact 3-manifold of constant positive curvature with a non trivial topology: the Poincar\'e dodecahedral space that is a plausible model of multi-connected universe. We transform the Cauchy problem to…
While the exotic diffeomorphisms turned out to be very rich, we know much less about the $b^+_2 =2$ case, as parameterized gauge-theoretic invariants are not well defined. In this paper we present a method (that is, comparing the winding…
This work surveys classical and recent advances around the existence of exotic differentiable structures on spheres and its connection to stable homotopy theory.
We show that symmetric polynomials previously introduced by the author satisfy a certain differential equation. After a change of variables, it can be written as a non-stationary Schr\"odinger equation with elliptic potential, which is…
This article focuses on almost global existence for quasilinear wave equations with small initial data in 4-dimensional exterior domains. The nonlinearity is allowed to depend on the solution at the quadratic level as well as its first and…
We present a series of recent results on the well-posedness of very singular parabolic stochastic partial differential equations. These equations are such that the question of what it even means to be a solution is highly non-trivial. This…
The aim of this paper is to produce infinite exotic structures on smooth closed oriented $4-$manifolds with fundamental group isomorphic to the infinite dihedral group, assuming that $b_2^+$ and $b_2^-$ are at least $12$.
We study a class of linear ordinary differential equations (ODE)s with distributional coefficients. These equations are defined using an {\it intrinsic} multiplicative product of Schwartz distributions which is an extension of the…
Consider a polygon P and all neighboring circles (circles going through three consecutive vertices of P). We say that a neighboring circle is extremal if it is empty (no vertices of P inside) or full (no vertices of P outside). It is well…
In the relative trace formula approach to the arithmetic Gan-Gross-Prasad conjecture, we formulate a local conjecture (arithmetic transfer) in the case of an exotic smooth formal moduli space of p-divisible groups, associated to a unitary…
A metric with positive sectional curvature on the Gromoll-Meyer exotic 7-sphere is constructed explicitly. The proof relies on a 2-parameter family of left invariant metrics on Sp(2) and a one-parameter family of conformal deformations via…
The conformal Galilei algebra (CGA) and the exotic conformal Galilei algebra (ECGA) are applied to construct partial differential equations (PDEs) and systems of PDEs, which admit these algebras. We show that there are no single…
A fundamental result in 4-manifold topology asserts that any two exotic smooth structures on a simply-connected, closed 4-manifold differ by a cork twist: the operation of removing a compact, contractible, codimension-zero submanifold and…
