We show that mean curvature flow translators may exhibit non-removable singularities at infinity, due to jump discontinuities in their asymptotic profiles, and that oscillation can persist so as to yield a continuum of subsequential limit…
We show that every nearly spherical manifold can be realized as the volume-preserving image of a round sphere, via the Brenier-McCann optimal transport map. This theorem extends Caffarelli's contraction theorem to nearly spherical manifolds…
We study a toy model for the evolution of the oxygen concentration in an oxide layer. It consists in a transient convection diffusion equation in a one-dimensional domain of variable width. The motions of the boundaries are governed by the…
This paper focuses on the translating solitons of fully nonlinear extrinsic curvature geometric flows in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$. We present a generalization of the Spruck-Xiao's and Spruck-Sun's convexity results for $1$-homogeneous…
In this paper, we study the centralizer of a separating continuous flow without fixed points. We show that if $M$ is a compact metric space and $\phi_t:M\to M$ is a separating flow without fixed points, then $\phi_t$ has a quasi-trivial…
We describe a family of arithmetic cross-sections for geodesic flow on compact surfaces of constant negative curvature based on the study of generalized Bowen-Series boundary maps associated to cocompact torsion-free Fuchsian groups and…
A theorem of L. Caffarelli implies the existence of a map pushing forward a source Gaussian measure to a target measure which is more log-concave than the source one, which contracts Euclidean distance (in fact, Caffarelli showed that the…
Motivated by the study of billiards in polyhedra, we study linear flows in a family of singular flat $3$-manifolds which we call translation prisms. Using ideas of Furstenberg and Veech, we connect results about weak mixing properties of…
Trapping and un-trapping of spiral tips in a two-dimensional homogeneous excitable medium with local small-world connections is studied by numerical simulation. In a homogeneous medium which can be simulated with a lattice of regular…
We examine theoretically the inertial migration of a neutrally buoyant rigid sphere in pressure-driven channel flow, accounting for its finite size relative to the channel width (the confinement ratio). For sufficiently large channel…
We prove that, in the flat torus and in any dimension, the volume-preserving mean curvature flow and the surface diffusion flow, starting $C^{1,1}-$close to a strictly stable critical set of the perimeter $E$, exist for all times and…
In this study, we deal with non-degenerate translators of the mean curvature flow in the well-known hyperbolic Einstein's static universe. We classify translators foliated by horospheres and rotationally invariant ones, both space-like and…
In this paper, we show that the domain of attraction of a compact asymptotically stable submanifold of a finite-dimensional smooth manifold of an autonomous system is homeomorphic to its tubular neighborhood. The compactness of the…
Turing patterns emerge from a spatially uniform state following a linear instability driven by diffusion. Features of the eventual pattern (stabilized by non-linearities) are already present in the initial unstable modes. On a uniform flat…
Let X and Y be compact, simply connected and locally connected subsets of R^2, and let f : X -> Y be a homeomorphism isotopic to the identity on X. Generalizing Brouwer's plane translation theorem for self-maps of the plane, we prove that f…
We study local biholomorphisms with finite orbits in some neighborhood of the origin since they are intimately related to holomorphic foliations with closed leaves. We describe the structure of the set of periodic points in dimension 2. As…
Nonexpansive mappings play a central role in modern optimization and monotone operator theory because their fixed points can describe solutions to optimization or critical point problems. It is known that when the mappings are sufficiently…
First we investigate the evolutions of the radius function and its gradient along the volume-preserving mean curvature flow starting from a tube (of nonconstant radius) over a compact closed domain of a reflective submanifold in a symmetric…
We study the Rayleigh-B{\'e}nard convection in a 2-D rectangular domain with no-slip boundary conditions for the velocity. The main mathematical challenge is due to the no-slip boundary conditions, since the separation of variables for the…
Dense particulate suspensions often become more dilute as they move downstream through a constriction. We find that as a shear-thickening suspension is extruded through a narrow die and undergoes such liquid migration, the extrudate…
