We analyse finite-time singularities of the Teichm\"uller harmonic map flow -- a natural gradient flow of the harmonic map energy -- and find a canonical way of flowing beyond them in order to construct global solutions in full generality.…

We exhibit stable finite time blow up regimes for the energy critical co-rotational Wave Map with the S^2 target in all homotopy classes and for the critical equivariant SO(4) Yang-Mills problem. We derive sharp asymptotics on the dynamics…

We consider the slightly subcritical elliptic problem with Hardy term $$ \left\{ \begin{aligned} -\Delta u-\mu\frac{u}{|x|^2} &= |u|^{2^{\ast}-2-\epsilon}u &&\quad \text{in } \Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^N, \\\ u &= 0&&\quad \text{on } \partial…

We consider the 1-harmonic flow of maps from a bounded domain into a submanifold of a Euclidean space, i.e. the gradient flow of the total variation functional restricted to maps taking values in the manifold. We restrict ourselves to…

This paper studies the transport of a mass $\mu$ in $\real^d, d \geq 2,$ by a flow field $v= -\nabla K*\mu$. We focus on kernels $K=|x|^\alpha/ \alpha$ for $2-d\leq \alpha<2$ for which the smooth densities are known to develop singularities…

We show that the energy critical Wave Maps equation from $\mathbb{R}^{2+1}$ to $\mathbb{S}^2$ and restricted to the co-rotational setting with co-rotation index $k = 2$ admits finite time blow up solutions of finite energy on $(0,…

In this work we establish the formation of singularities of classical solutions with finite energy of the forced fractional Navier Stokes equations where the dissipative term is given by $|\nabla|^{\alpha}$ for any $\alpha\in [0, \alpha_0)$…

This paper concerns the bubbling phenomena for the $L^2$-critical half-wave equation in dimension one. Given arbitrarily finitely many distinct singularities, we construct blow-up solutions concentrating exactly at these singularities. This…

In Kenig and Toro's two-phase free boundary problem, one studies how the regularity of the Radon-Nikodym derivative $h= d\omega^-/d\omega^+$ of harmonic measures on complementary NTA domains controls the geometry of their common boundary.…

This is the first part of a two-paper series that establishes the uniqueness and regularity of a threshold energy wave map that does not scatter in both time directions. Consider the two-sphere valued equivariant energy critical wave maps…

It is known that smooth solutions to the non-isentropic Navier-Stokes equations without heat-conductivity may lose their regularities in finite time in the presence of vacuum. However, in spite of the recent progress on such blowup…

We establish the existence of locally positive weak solutions to the homogeneous Dirichlet problem for \[ u_t = u \Delta u + u \int_\Omega |\nabla u|^2 \] in bounded domains $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ and prove that solutions converge to…

Blow-ups of derivatives and gradient catastrophes for the $n$-dimensional homogeneous Euler equation are discussed. It is shown that, in the case of generic initial data, the blow-ups exhibit a fine structure in accordance of the admissible…

Two-fold singularities in a piecewise smooth (PWS) dynamical system in $\mathbb{R}^3$ have long been the subject of intensive investigation. The interest stems from the fact that trajectories which enter the two-fold are associated with…

We consider the two dimensional $L^2$ critical nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation $i\pa_tu+\Delta u+u|u|^2=0$. In the pioneering work \cite{BW}, Bourgain and Wang have constructed smooth solutions which blow up in finite time $T<+\infty$ with…

The aim of this paper is to give global nonexistence and blow--up results for the problem $$ \begin{cases} u_{tt}-\Delta u+P(x,u_t)=f(x,u) \qquad &\text{in $(0,\infty)\times\Omega$,}\\ u=0 &\text{on $(0,\infty)\times \Gamma_0$,}\\…

We investigate gradient flows of some homogeneous functionals in R^N , arising in the Lagrangian approximation of systems of self-interacting and diffusing particles. We focus on the case of negative homogeneity. In the case of strong…

In this article, we construct a minimal mass blow-up solution of the two-dimensional cubic (mass-critical) Zakharov--Kuznetsov equation: \begin{equation*} \partial_t \phi+\partial_{x_1}(\Delta \phi+\phi^3)=0,\quad (t,x)\in [0,\infty)\times…

The wave maps equation in three spatial dimensions with a spherical target admits an explicit blow-up solution. Numerical studies suggest this solution captures the generic blow-up behaviour in the backward light cone of the singularity. In…
