In this work we derive some blow-up results for semilinear wave equations both in de Sitter and anti-de Sitter spacetimes. By requiring suitable conditions on a time-dependent factor in the nonlinear term, we prove the blow-up in finite…
In this manuscript, a sharp lifespan estimate of solutions to semilinear classical damped wave equation is investigated in one dimensional case, when the sum of initial position and speed is $0$ pointwisely. Especially, an extension of…
The semilinear wave equation on the (outer) Schwarzschild manifold is studied. We prove local decay estimates for general (non-radial) data, deriving a-priori Morawetz type estimates.
We present a scaling technique which transforms the evolution problem for a nonlinear wave equation with small initial data to a linear wave equation with a distributional source. The exact solution of the latter uniformly approximates the…
This brief note wants to bring to attention that the formulation of physically reasonable initial-boundary value problems for wave equations in Lorentzian space-times is not unique, i.e., that there are inequivalent such formulations that…
Consider wave equations with time derivative nonlinearity and time-dependent propagation speed which are generalized versions of the wave equations in the Friedmann-Lema\^itre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) spacetime, the de Sitter spacetime and…
We prove a Minkowski type inequality for weakly mean convex and star-shaped hypersurfaces in warped cylinders which are asymptotically flat or hyperbolic. In particular, we show that this sharp inequality holds for outward minimizing…

Using techniques of integrable systems, we study a Weierstrass representation formula for timelike surfaces with prescribed mean curvature in Minkowski 3-space. It is shown that timelike minimal surfaces are obtained by integrating a pair…
In this paper, we consider the evolution of spacelike graphic hypersurfaces defined over a convex piece of hyperbolic plane $\mathscr{H}^{n}(1)$, of center at origin and radius $1$, in the $(n+1)$-dimensional Lorentz-Minkowski space…
New solutions to the classical equations of motion of a bosonic matrix-membrane are given. Their continuum limit defines 3-manifolds (in Minkowski space) whose mean curvature vanishes. Part of the construction are minimal surfaces in S^7,…
This paper finds solutions to semilinear wave equations with strongly anomalous propagation of singularities. For very low Sobolev regularity we obtain solutions whose singular support propagates along any ray inside or outside the light…
We introduce an ansatz for force-free electrodynamics in Minkowski spacetime under which the nonlinear system reduces to a semilinear scalar wave equation depending on two spacetime variables. This reduction yields explicit time-dependent…
In this paper, we study the lifespan estimates of classical solutions for semilinear wave equations with characteristic weights and compactly supported data in one space dimension. The results include those for weights by time-variable, but…
Consider a convex cone in three-dimensional Minkowski space which either contains the lightcone or is contained in it. This work considers mean curvature flow of a proper spacelike strictly mean convex disc in the cone which is graphical…
In this paper, we study the semilinear wave equations with the inverse-square potential. By transferring the original equation to a "fractional dimensional" wave equation and analyzing the properties of its fundamental solution, we…
We discuss self-similar solutions to $O(4)$ textures in Minkowski space and in flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker backgrounds. We show that in the Minkowski case there exist no solutions with winding number greater than unity. However, we find…

In this paper, we study the long-time existence result for small data solutions of quasilinear wave equations exterior to star-shaped regions in two space dimensions. The key novelty is that we establish a Morawetz type energy estimate for…
We prove a generalization of Hsiung-Minkowski formulas for closed submanifolds in semi-Riemannian manifolds with constant curvature. As a corollary, we obtain volume and area upper bounds for k-convex hypersurfaces in terms of a weighted…
