In this paper we investigate the flow of surfaces by a class of symmetric functions of the principal curvatures with a mixed volume constraint. We consider compact surfaces without boundary that can be written as a graph over a sphere. The…

This paper is concerned with qualitative properties of bounded steady flows of an ideal incompressible fluid with no stagnation point in the two-dimensional plane R^2. We show that any such flow is a shear flow, that is, it is parallel to…

In the 1-parameter family of Berger spheres S^3(a), a > 0 (S^3(1) is the round 3-sphere of radius 1) we classify the stable constant mean curvature spheres, showing that in some Berger spheres (a close to 0) there are unstable constant mean…

In this paper we study symmetry reductions and exact solutions of the shallow water wave (SWW) equation $$u_{xxxt} + \alpha u_x u_{xt} + \beta u_t u_{xx} - u_{xt} - u_{xx} = 0,\eqno(1)$$ where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are arbitrary, nonzero,…

In this article we prove a reducibility result for the linear Schr\"odinger equation on the sphere $\mathbb{S}^{n}$ with quasi-periodic in time perturbation. Our result includes the case of unbounded perturbation that we assume to be of…

For a connected $n$-dimensional compact smooth hypersurface $M$ without boundary embedded in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, a classical result of Aleksandrov shows that it must be a sphere if it has constant mean curvature. Li and Nirenberg studied a…

We show the existence of a family of nontrivial smooth contractible domains on the sphere that admit Neumann eigenfunctions of the Laplacian which are constant on the boundary. These domains are contained on the half-sphere, in stark…

Let $\mathbb{R}^n$ be the n-dimensional Euclidean space with $O$ as the origin. Let $\wedge$ be a lattice of determinant $1$ such that there is a sphere $|X|<R$ which contains no point of $\wedge$ other than $O$ and has $n$ linearly…

Consider the equation $-\ve^2\Delta u_\ve+q(x)u_\ve=f(u_\ve)$ in $\R^3$, $|u(\infty)|<\infty$, $\ve=const>0$. Under what assumptions on $q(x)$ and $f(u)$ can one prove that the solution $u_\ve$ exists and $\lim_{\ve\to 0} u_\ve=u(x)$, where…

We obtain KSS, Strichartz and certain weighted Strichartz estimate for the wave equation on $(\R^d, \mathfrak{g})$, $d \geq 3$, when metric $\mathfrak{g}$ is non-trapping and approaches the Euclidean metric like $ x ^{- \rho}$ with…

Assume that $D\subset \R^2$ is a strictly convex domain with $C^2-$smooth boundary. {\bf Theorem.} {\em If $\int_De^{ix}y^ndxdy=0$ for all sufficiently large $n$, then $D$ is a disc.}

Let $\Theta=(\theta_{jk})_{n\times n}$ be a real skew-symmetric $n\times n$ matrix for $n\geq 2$. Under some mild non-integrality conditions on $\Theta,$ we construct Rieffel-type projections as higher dimensional Bott classes in the…

In certain circumstances, the uncertainty, $\Delta S [\phi]$, of a quantum observable, $S$, can be bounded from below by a finite overall constant $\Delta S>0$, \emph{i.e.}, $\Delta S [\phi] \geq \Delta S$, for all physical states $\phi$.…

In 1978 E. De Giorgi formulated a conjecture concerning the one-dimensional symmetry of bounded solutions to the elliptic equation \Delta u=F'(u), which are monotone in some direction. In this paper we prove the analogous statement for the…

In this paper, we investigate the relationship between positive definite functions on the unit sphere $\sph$ and on the Euclidean space $\RR^d$. For the dimension $d$ to be odd, a new technique is developed to establish the inheritance of…

Equation $(-\Delta+k^2)u+f(u)=0$ in $D$, $u\mid_{\partial D}=0$, where $k=\const>0$ and $D\subset\R^3$ is a bounded domain, has a solution if $f:\R\to\R$ is a continuous function in the region $|u|\geq a$, piecewise-continuous in the region…

We prove that given any smooth metric $\gamma$ and smooth positive function $H$ on $S^{2}$, there is a constant $\lambda > 0$, depending on $(\gamma, H)$, and an asymptotically flat solution $(M, g, u)$ of the static vacuum Einstein…

Birkhoff's theorem is a classic result that characterizes locally spherically symmetric solutions of the Einstein equations. In this paper, we illustrate the consequences of its local nature for the cases of vacuum and positive cosmological…

Two known $q$-deformed (or `quantum') $7$-spheres, both denoted $\mathbb{S}^7_q$ in the literature, may be distinguished by the presence or absence of symmetry under $\mathrm{SU}_q(2)$. The quaternionic version of $\mathbb{S}^7_q$ has been…
