We address a general system of nonlinear Dirac equations in (1+1) dimensions and prove nonexistence of classical self-similar blowup solutions in the space of bounded functions. While this argument does not exclude the possibility of…

In this article, we establish the existence of a family of hypersurfaces $(\Gamma (t))_{0< t \leq T}$ which evolve by the vanishing mean curvature flow in Minkowski space and which as $t$ tends to~$0$ blow up towards a hypersurface which…

In this paper, we consider the solution of a nonlocal parabolic equation. Focusing on the solutions with initial data at high energy level, we find the criteria for global existence and finite time blow up for the corresponding solution…

In this work, we investigate the blow-up of solutions to the generalized surface quasi-geostrophic (gSQG) equation in $\mathbb{R}^{2}$, within the more singular range $\beta\in(1,2)$ for the coupling of the velocity field. This behavior is…

In this paper we consider the slightly $L^2$-supercritical gKdV equations $\partial_t u+(u_{xx}+u|u|^{p-1})_x=0$, with the nonlinearity $5<p<5+\varepsilon$ and $0<\varepsilon\ll 1$ . We will prove the existence and stability of a blow-up…

We consider co-rotational wave maps from (1+3)-dimensional Minkowski space into the three-sphere. This model exhibits an explicit blowup solution and we prove the asymptotic nonlinear stability of this solution in the whole space under…

We consider the elliptic-elliptic Davey-Stewartson system in the three-dimensional Euclidean space, and we give sufficient conditions for the existence of finite time blow-up solutions in non-isotropic spaces. The proof is based on some…

We present a variety of results analyzing the behavior of a class of stochastic processes --- referred to as Stochastic Hybrid Systems (SHSs) --- in or near equilibrium, and determine general conditions on when the moments of the process…

We show the existence of an infinite family of finite-time singularities in isotropically expanding universes which obey the weak, strong, and dominant energy conditions. We show what new type of energy condition is needed to exclude them…

We study the singularity formation mechanisms of the inviscid generalized Surface Quasi-Geostrophic (gSQG) equation on the whole space $\mathbb{R}^2$ and on the upper half-plane $\mathbb{R}^2_+$, allowing infinite energy. In each case, we…
