Inspired by an open question by Chemin and Zhang about the regularity of the 3D Navier-Stokes equations with one initially small component, we investigate symmetry breaking and symmetry preservation. Our results fall in three classes. First…
Discretization of general relativity is a promising route towards quantum gravity. Discrete geometries have a finite number of degrees of freedom and can mimic aspects of quantum geometry. However, selection of the correct discrete freedoms…
We extend effective field theory to the case of spontaneous symmetry breaking in genuinely finite quantum systems such as small superfluid systems, molecules or atomic nuclei, and focus on deformed nuclei. In finite superfluids, symmetry…
We study Riemannian manifolds $(M^n,g)$ with mean-convex boundary whose Ricci curvature is nonnegative in a spectral sense. Our first main result is a sharp spectral extension of a rigidity theorem by Kasue: we prove that under the…
We consider a family of Gagliardo-Nirenberg-Sobolev interpolation inequalities which interpolate between Sobolev's inequality and the logarithmic Sobolev inequality, with optimal constants. The difference of the two terms in the…
In this article, functional inequalities for diffusion semigroups on Riemannian manifolds (possibly with boundary) are established, which are equivalent to pinched Ricci curvature, along with gradient estimates, $L^p$-inequalities and…
In this paper we extend to non-compact Riemannian manifolds with boundary the use of two important tools in the geometric analysis of compact spaces, namely, the weak maximum principle for subharmonic functions and the integration by parts.…
Shrinkers are special solutions of mean curvature flow (MCF) that evolve by rescaling and model the singularities. While there are infinitely many in each dimension, [CM1] showed that the only generic are round cylinders $\SS^k\times…

We examine the conditions for appearance of symmetry breaking bifurcation in damped and periodically driven pendulum in the case of strong damping. We show that symmetry breaking, unlike other nonlinear phenomena, can exist at high…
We will consider the resolution of the 3D non linear wave equation under the assumption of spherical symmetry on the Euclidian space. For this purpose, we will build a non trivial measure on distributions such that there exists a set of…
We prove some old and new isoperimetric inequalities with the best constant using the ABP method applied to an appropriate linear Neumann problem. More precisely, we obtain a new family of sharp isoperimetric inequalities with weights (also…
This article concerns optimal estimates for non-homogeneous degenerate elliptic equation with source functions in borderline spaces of integrability. We deliver sharp H\"older continuity estimates for solutions to $p$-degenerate elliptic…
We study Rellich inequalities associated to higher-order elliptic operators in the Euclidean space. The inequalities are expressed in terms of an associated Finsler metric. In the case of half-spaces we obtain the sharp constant while for a…
Classical Heisenberg spins in the continuum limit (i.e. the nonlinear sigma-model) are studied on an elastic cylinder section with homogeneous boundary conditions. The latter may serve as a physical realization of magnetically coated…
We propose a fundamental setup for the realization of spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) and spontaneous antisymmetry breaking (SASB) in the framework of the nonlinear Schroedinger equation with the self-attractive and repulsive cubic…
From the mathematical side, nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations are usually investigated via variational methods, that cease to work in higher dimensions. This thesis tries to overcome this problem by focusing on spherically symmetric…
We set up a one-parameter family of inequalities that contains both the Hardy inequalities (when the parameter is 1) and the Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequalities (when the parameter is optimal). Moreover, we study these results with the…
