We study minimal mass blow-up solutions of the focusing $L^2$ critical nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with inverse-square potential, \[ i\partial_t u + \Delta u + \frac{c}{|x|^2}u+|u|^{\frac{4}{N}}u = 0, \] with $N\geqslant 3$ and…

The equations of the Newtonian $n$-body problem have a matrix form, where an $n\times n$ matrix depending on the masses and on the mutual distances appears as a factor. The $n$ eigenvalues of this matrix are real and nonnegative. In a…

We show the existence of some infinite families of periodic solutions of the planar Newtonian n-body problem --with positive masses-- which are symmetric with respect to suitable actions of finite groups (under a strong--force assumption,…

Uniqueness of the finite element solution for nonmonotone quasilinear problems of elliptic type is established in one and two dimensions. In each case, we prove a comparison theorem based on locally bounding the variation of the discrete…

This note establishes, first of all, the monotonic increase with $N$ of the average $K$-body energy of classical $N$-body ground state configurations with $N\geq K$ monomers that interact solely through a permutation-symmetric $K$-body…

We present an exact solution to the problem of the relativistic motion of 2 point masses in $(1+1)$ dimensional dilaton gravity. The motion of the bodies is governed entirely by their mutual gravitational influence, and the spacetime metric…

We consider the 2-dimensional focusing mass critical NLS with an inhomogeneous nonlinearity: $i\partial_tu+\Delta u+k(x)|u|^{2}u=0$. From standard argument, there exists a threshold $M_k>0$ such that $H^1$ solutions with $\|u\|_{L^2}<M_k$…

We consider a natural Hamiltonian system with two degrees of freedom and Hamiltonian $H=\|p\|^2/2+V(q)$. The configuration space $M$ is a closed surface (for noncompact $M$ certain conditions at infinity are required). It is well known that…

We consider the problem $-\Delta u+\lambda u=u^{p-1}$, where $u\in H^1_0(\Omega)$ verifies $\|u\|_{L^2}=m>0$, and $\lambda\in [0,+\infty)$. Here, $\mathbb{R}^N\setminus\Omega$ is nonempty and compact. We prove the existence of a solution…

In this paper, we will prove Saari's conjecture in a particular case by using a arithmetic fact, and then, apply it to prove that for any given positive masses, the variational minimal solutions of the N-body problem in ${\mathbb{R}}^2$ are…

Suppose we have a natural Hamiltonian $H$ of $n$ particles on the line, centre of mass momentum $P$ and a further independent quantity $Q$, cubic in the momenta. If these are each $S_{n}$ invariant and mutually Poisson commute we have the…
