We construct finite time blow-up solutions to the 3-dimensional harmonic map flow into the sphere $S^2$, \begin{align*} u_t & = \Delta u + |\nabla u|^2 u \quad \text{in } \Omega\times(0,T) \\ u &= u_b \quad \text{on } \partial…

We study a class of localized solutions of the wave equation, called eigenwavelets, obtained by extending its fundamental solutions to complex spacetime in the sense of hyperfunctions. The imaginary spacetime variables y, which form a…
We show an energy convexity along any harmonic map heat flow with small initial energy and fixed boundary data on the unit 2-disk. In particular, this gives an affirmative answer to a question raised by W. Minicozzi asking whether such…

In this paper the author considers the global existence and well-posedness of the non-linear wave equation $\partial_t^2 u - \Delta u = -|u|^{p-1} u$ in 3-dimensional space, assuming that the initial data is in the space $(\dot{H}^s \cap…
The harmonic map energy of a map from a closed, constant-curvature surface to a closed target manifold can be seen as a functional on the space of maps and domain metrics. We consider the gradient flow for this energy. In the absence of…
We study the energy critical wave equation in 3 dimensions around a single soliton. We obtain energy boundedness (modulo unstable modes) for the linearised problem. We use this to construct scattering solutions in a neighbourhood of…
For semi-linear wave equations with null form non-linearities on $\mathbb{R}^{3+1}$, we exhibit an open set of initial data which are allowed to be large in energy spaces, yet we can still obtain global solutions in the future. We also…
The paper contains a proposal for an energy and time representation. We construct modes that correspond to fuzzy distributions around discrete values of energy or time. The modes form an orthogonal and complete set in the space of square…
We study configurations of points on the unit sphere that minimize potential energy for a broad class of potential functions (viewed as functions of the squared Euclidean distance between points). Call a configuration sharp if there are m…
This paper is devoted to the asymptotic analysis of a fractional version of the Ginzburg-Landau equation in bounded domains, where the Laplacian is replaced by an integro-differential operator related to the square root Laplacian as defined…
We consider a one-dimensional unpinned chain of harmonic oscillators with random masses. We prove that after hyperbolic scaling of space and time the distributions of the elongation, momentum and energy converge to the solution of the Euler…
Quantum mechanics does not provide any ready recipe for defining energy density in space, since the energy and coordinate do not commute. To find a well-motivated energy density, we start from a possibly fundamental, relativistic…
Wave localization induced by spatial disorder is ubiquitous in physics. Here, we study the temporal analog of such phenomenon on water waves. Our time disordered media consists in a collection of temporal interfaces achieved through…
We put forward a model that describes a decaying and evanescent point source of non-interacting quantum waves in 1D. This point-source assumption allows for a simple description that captures the essential aspects of the dynamics of a wave…
We consider graphs parameterized on a portion $X\subset\mathbb Z^d\times \{1,\ldots, M\}^k$ of a cylindrical subset of the lattice $\mathbb Z^d\times \mathbb Z^k$, and perform a discrete-to-continuum dimension-reduction process for energies…
Variation of voltage profiles with different time scales leads to the redistribution of deposited energy as well as electro-hydrodynamic forces, while the mechanism and scaling law is still unknown. On the basis of theoretical and numerical…
Energy identity for harmonic type maps in supercritical dimensions is an important and difficult problem. For sphere-valued harmonic maps, the first breakthrough was achieved by Lin-Rivi\`ere [Duke Math. J. 2002]. In this paper, by adapting…
