This paper investigates the connection between blow-up solutions of scalar reaction-diffusion equations, in particular of $u_t = u_{xx} + u^2, $ and its counterpart - eternally existing solutions like heteroclinic orbits - by complex time.…
We study the existence and behaviour of blowing-up solutions to the fully fractional heat equation $$ \mathcal{M} u=u^p,\qquad x\in\mathbb{R}^N,\;0<t<T $$ with $p>0$, where $\mathcal{M}$ is a nonlocal operator given by a space-time kernel…

In this article we introduce a new blowup criterion for (generalized) Euler-Arnold equations on $\mathbb R^n$. Our method is based on treating the equation in Lagrangian coordinates, where it is an ODE on the diffeomorphism group, and…
We introduce a heat flow associated to half-harmonic maps, which have been introduced by Da Lio and Rivi\`ere. Those maps exhibit integrability by compensation in one space dimension and are related to harmonic maps with free boundary. We…
In this paper we consider the nonlinear Schr\"o\-din\-ger equation $i u_t +\Delta u +\kappa |u|^\alpha u=0$. We prove that if $\alpha <\frac {2} {N}$ and $\Im \kappa <0$, then every nontrivial $H^1$-solution blows up in finite or infinite…
In recent work of Luo and Hou, a new scenario for finite time blow up in solutions of 3D Euler equation has been proposed. The scenario involves a ring of hyperbolic points of the flow located at the boundary of a cylinder. In this paper,…
In this paper, we first establish regularity of the heat flow of biharmonic maps into the unit sphere $S^L\subset\mathbb R^{L+1}$ under a smallness condition of renormalized total energy. For the class of such solutions to the heat flow of…
We consider the semilinear diffusion equation $\partial$ t u = Au + |u| $\alpha$ u in the half-space R N + := R N --1 x (0, +$\infty$), where A is a linear diffusion operator, which may be the classical Laplace operator, or a fractional…

We show an energy convexity along any harmonic map heat flow with small initial energy and fixed boundary data on the unit 2-disk. In particular, this gives an affirmative answer to a question raised by W. Minicozzi asking whether such…
We consider the Cauchy problem of the nonlinear heat equation $u_t -\Delta u= u^{b},\ u(0,x)=u_0$, with $b\geq 2$ and $b\in \mathbb{N}$. We prove that initial data $u_0\in \mathcal{S}(\mathbb{R}^{n})$ (the Schwartz class)arbitrarily small…
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.…
