We study the problem of maximizing the minimal value over the sphere $S^{d-1}\subset \mathbb R^d$ of the potential generated by a configuration of $d+1$ points on $S^{d-1}$ (the maximal discrete polarization problem). The points interact…
Zador's celebrated theorem is a cornerstone of optimal quantisation, establishing both the weak limit of the empirical distribution of an $n$-point optimal quantiser in $R^d$ and the decay rate of the associated $L_s$-mean quantisation…
We establish new Strichartz estimates for orthonormal systems on compact Riemannian manifolds in the case of wave, Klein-Gordon and fractional Schr\"odinger equations. Our results generalize the classical (single-function) Strichartz…
The surface is known to intercept energy from bombarding particles. This energy then spreads over the surface. Before now, it has always been said that the distribution of this energy landing on the surface is always Gaussian. However, in…
The problem of (non)random distribution of points on the sphere is investigated. Published procedures for obtaining preferred direction and preferred plane for points on the sphere (in the sky) are discussed. It is shown that the published…
In this paper we study hyperuniformity on flat tori. Hyperuniform point sets on the unit sphere have been studied by J.~Brauchart, P.~Grabner, W.~Kusner and J.~Ziefle. It is shown that point sets which are hyperuniform for large balls,…
We study existence and convergence properties of least-energy symmetric solutions (l.e.s.s.) to the pure critical problem \begin{equation*} (-\Delta)^su_s=|u_s|^{2^\star_s-2}u_s, \quad u_s\in D^s_0(\Omega),\quad 2^\star_s:=\frac{2N}{N-2s},…
The program of understanding Shape Theory layer by layer topologically and geometrically -- proposed in Part I -- is now addressed for 4 points in 1-$d$. Topological shape space graphs are far more complex here, whereas metric shape spaces…
The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the I-method by studying low-regularity solutions of the nonlinear Schr\'[o]dinger equation in two space dimensions. By applying this method, together with the interaction Morawetz estimate, (see…
We study global minimizers of a functional modeling the free energy of thin liquid layers over a solid substrate under the combined effect of surface, gravitational, and intermolecular potentials. When the latter ones have a mild repulsive…
We proceed further with the study of minimum weak Riesz energy problems for condensers with touching plates, initiated jointly with Bent Fuglede (Potential Anal. 51 (2019), 197--217). Having now added to the analysis constraint and external…
In this paper we study Strichartz estimates for dispersive equations which are defined by radially symmetric pseudo-differential operators, and of which initial data belongs to spaces of Sobolev type defined in spherical coordinates. We…
This paper studies the asymptotic behaviors of the pairwise angles among n randomly and uniformly distributed unit vectors in R^p as the number of points n -> infinity, while the dimension p is either fixed or growing with n. For both…
We describe several randomized collections of $3\times 3$ rotation matrices and analyze their associated logarithmic energy. The best one (i.e. the one attaining the lowest expected logarithmic energy) is constructed by choosing $r$…
We develop the existence, uniqueness, continuity, stability, and scattering theory for energy-critical nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations in dimensions $n \geq 3$, for solutions which have large, but finite, energy and large, but finite,…
We show that the spatial distribution of the energy density of optimally shaped waves inside a scattering medium can be described by considering only a few of the lowest eigenfunctions of the diffusion equation. Taking into account only the…
We consider the energy-critical Schroedinger map initial value problem with smooth initial data from R^2 into the sphere S^2. Given sufficiently energy-dispersed data with subthreshold energy, we prove that the system admits a unique global…
We study the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation posed on product spaces $\mathbf R^n\times \mathcal M^k$, for $n\geq 1$ and $k\geq1$, with $\mathcal M^k$ any $k$-dimensional compact Riemaniann manifold. The main results concern global…
In this paper, we study the focusing and defocusing energy--subcritical, nonlinear wave equation in $\mathbb{R}^{1+d}$ with radial initial data for $d = 4,5$. We prove that if a solution remains bounded in the critical space on its interval…
We prove several scattering results for dispersion-managed nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations. In particular, we establish small-data scattering for both `intercritical' and `mass-subcritical' powers by suitable modifications of the standard…
