We prove that the mean curvature flow of a generic closed embedded hypersurface in $\mathbb{R}^4$ or $\mathbb{R}^5$ with entropy $\leq 2$, or with entropy $\leq \lambda(\mathbb{S}^1)$ if in $\mathbb{R}^6$, encounters only generic…

We investigate the issue of uniqueness of the limit flow for a relevant class of quasi-linear parabolic equations defined on the whole space. More precisely, we shall investigate conditions which guarantee that the global solutions decay at…

We consider the inverse curvature flows $\dot x=F^{-p}\nu$ of closed star-shaped hypersurfaces in Euclidean space in case $0<p\not=1$ and prove that the flow exists for all time and converges to infinity, if $0<p<1$, while in case $p>1$,…

In this paper, we analyze the singular shape of the free boundary at degenerate points in a three dimensional axisymmetric compressible gravity flow. For all possible degenerate points on the free surface, we prove that the only nontrivial…

We consider the inhomogeneous Landau equation with $\gamma \in (\sqrt{3},2]$ and construct smooth, strictly positive initial data that develop a finite time singularity. The $C^{\alpha}$-norm of the distribution function blows up for every…

In this work we focus on the phase space singularities of interactive quintessence model in the presence of matter fluid. This model is related to swampland studies, that the outcomes affect all these Swampland related models with the same…

We exhibit smooth initial data for the 2D water wave equation for which we prove that smoothness of the interface breaks down in finite time. Moreover, we show a stability result together with numerical evidence that there exist solutions…

This paper deals with the longstanding quest of the possible existence of finite-time singularities in the equations governing the dynamics of inviscid fluids, namely, Euler equations. Here, two contributions are brought for the case of…

The set of volumes of stable surfaces does have accumulation points. In this paper, we study this phenomenon for surfaces with one cyclic quotient singularity, towards answering the question under which conditions we can still have…

To date it has not been possible to prove whether or not the three-dimensional incompressible Euler equations develop singular behaviour in finite time. Some possible singular scenarios, as for instance shock-waves, are very important from…

We employ hydrodynamic equations to follow the clustering instability of a freely cooling dilute gas of inelastically colliding spheres into a well-developed nonlinear regime. We simplify the problem by dealing with a one-dimensional…

Hamiltonian flows on compact surfaces are characterized, and the topological invariants of such flows with finitely many singular points are constructed from the viewpoints of integrable systems, fluid mechanics, and dynamical systems.…

We study the new geometric flow that was introduced in [11] that evolves a pair of map and (domain) metric in such a way that it changes appropriate initial data into branched minimal immersions. In the present paper we focus on the…

We provide a scenario for a singularity-mediated turbulence based on the self-focusing non-linear Schr\"odinger equation, for which sufficiently smooth initial states leads to blow-up in finite time. Here, by adding dissipation, these…

The Willmore energy of a closed surface in R^n is the integral of its squared mean curvature, and is invariant uner M\"obius transformations of R^n. We show that any torus in R^3 with energy at most $8 \pi-delta$ has a representative under…
