In this paper, we consider the defocusing nonlinear wave equation $-\partial_t^2u+\Delta u=|u|^{p-1}u$ in $\mathbb R\times \mathbb R^d$. Building on our companion work ({\it \small Self-similar imploding solutions of the relativistic Euler…
Let $(M, J^\alpha, \alpha =1,2,3)$ and $(N, {\cal J}^\alpha, \alpha =1,2,3)$ be Hyperk\"ahler manifolds. Suppose that $u_k$ is a sequence of stationary quaternionic maps and converges weakly to $u$ in $H^{1,2}(M,N)$, we derive a blow-up…

This is a continuation of the work of Arezzo-Pacard-Singer and the author on blowups of extremal K\"ahler manifolds. We prove the conjecture stated in [32], and we relate this result to the K-stability of blown up manifolds. As an…
We consider a blow-up solution for the semilinear wave equation in $N$ dimensions, with subconformal power nonlinearity. Introducing $\RR_0$ the set of non-characteristic points with the Lorentz transform of the space-independent solution…
We consider the focusing energy-critical wave equation in space dimension $N\in \{3, 4, 5\}$ for radial data. We study type II blow-up solutions which concentrate one bubble of energy. It is known that such solutions decompose in the energy…
We consider the scaling critical Lebesgue norm of blow-up solutions to the semilinear heat equation $u_t=\Delta u+|u|^{p-1}u$ in an arbitrary smooth domain of $\mathbf{R}^n$. In the range $p>p_S:=(n+2)/(n-2)$, we show that the critical norm…
We consider an explicit self-similar solution to an energy-supercritical Yang-Mills equation and prove its mode stability. Based on earlier work by one of the authors, we obtain a fully rigorous proof of the nonlinear stability of the…
This paper establishes a blow-up criterion of strong solutions to the two-dimensional compressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flows. The criterion depends on the density, but is independent of the velocity and the magnetic field. More…
The criterion for the initiation of breaking demonstrated numerically by Barthelemy et al. (2015) has been investigated in the laboratory for unidirectional wave groups in deep-water and extended to include conditions of moderate wind…
We calculate the full asymptotic expansion of boundary blow-up solutions, for any nonlinearity f. Our approach enables us to state sharp qualitative results regarding uniqueness and ra-dial symmetry of solutions, as well as a…
We establish Strichartz estimates in similarity coordinates for the radial wave equation in three spatial dimensions with a (time-dependent) self-similar potential. As an application we consider the critical wave equation and prove the…
In this paper we investigate the "area blow-up" set of a sequence of smooth co-dimension one manifolds whose first variation with respect to an anisotropic integral is bounded. Following the ideas introduced by White in (J. Differential…
We build blowing-up solutions for a supercritical perturbation of the Yamabe problem on manifolds with umbilic boundary provided the dimension of the manifold is n>7 and that the Weyl tensor W(x) is not vanishing on the boundary of M.
Solutions of the semilinear wave equation are found numerically in three spatial dimensions with no assumed symmetry using distributed adaptive mesh refinement. The threshold of singularity formation is studied for the two cases in which…
We consider the blow-up behavior of solutions to the semilinear wave equation $$ \partial_t^2 u - \Delta u = |u|^{p-1}u \ln^a(u^2+2), \ (x,t)\in \mathbb{R}^n \times [0,T),$$ in the conformal case $ p = p_c = 1 + \frac{4}{n-1}$. Previous…
In this paper, we give a small data blow-up result for the one-dimensional semilinear wave equation with damping depending on time and space variables. We show that if the damping term can be regarded as perturbation, that is, non-effective…
