Energy minimizing harmonic maps between manifolds are known to be smooth outside a rectifiable set of codimension $3$, called the singular set. The possibility that this set is not a manifold, but has arbitrarily many small gaps in it, is…

We present effective methods to compute equivariant harmonic maps from the universal cover of a surface into a nonpositively curved space. By discretizing the theory appropriately, we show that the energy functional is strongly convex and…

In this paper, we study the asymptotic decay properties for defocusing semilinear wave equations in $\mathbb{R}^{1+2}$ with pure power nonlinearity. By applying new vector fields to null hyperplane, we derive improved time decay of the…

In the previous papers in this series, the global regularity conjecture for wave maps from two-dimensional Minkowski space $\R^{1+2}$ to hyperbolic space $\H^m$ was reduced to the problem of constructing a minimal-energy blowup solution…

We analyse finite-time singularities of the Teichm\"uller harmonic map flow -- a natural gradient flow of the harmonic map energy -- and find a canonical way of flowing beyond them in order to construct global solutions in full generality.…

We consider Morawetz estimates for weighted energy decay of solutions to the wave equation on scattering manifolds (i.e., those with large conic ends). We show that a Morawetz estimate persists for solutions that are localized at low…

We consider the energy-critical (corotational) 1-equivariant wave maps into the two-sphere. By the seminal work [53] of Rapha\"el and Rodnianski, there is an open set of initial data whose forward-in-time development blows up in finite time…
