We consider wave maps from $\mathbb R^{2+1}$ to a $C^\infty$-smooth Riemannian manifold, $\mathcal N$. Such maps can exhibit energy concentration, and at points of concentration, it is known that the map (suitably rescaled and translated)…

We solve the source free electromagnetic wave equation in Friedmann-Robertson-Walker space-times for curvature $K=0$ and $K=-1$. Deriving a solution expression in the form of spherical means we deduce and compare two properties of the…
It has been known for a long time that the equivariant 2+1 wave map into the 2-sphere blows up if the initial data are chosen appropriately. Here, we present numerical evidence for the stability of the blow-up phenomenon under explicit…
We prove that the half-wave maps problem on $\mathbb{R}^{4+1}$ with target $S^2$ is globally well-posed for smooth initial data which are small in the critical $l^1$ based Besov space. This is a formal analogue of the result for wave maps…
We consider the finite-time blow-up dynamics of solutions to the self-dual Chern-Simons-Schr\"odinger (CSS) equation (also referred to as the Jackiw-Pi model) near the radial soliton $Q$ with the least $L^{2}$-norm (ground state). While a…
The main purpose of the present paper is to study the blow-up problem of the wave equation with space-dependent damping in the \textit{scale-invariant case} and time derivative nonlinearity with small initial data. Under appropriate initial…
The goal of this article is to parametrise solutions to Einstein's equations with big bang singularities and quiescent asymptotics. To this end, we introduce a notion of initial data on big bang singularities and conjecture that it can be…

We consider an inverse problem for an inhomogeneous wave equation with discrete-in-time sources, modeling a seismic rupture. We assume that the sources occur along a path with subsonic velocity, and that data are collected over time on some…
In this paper we study the dynamics of metamaterials composed of high-contrast subwavelength resonators and show the existence of localised modes in such a setting. A crucial assumption in this paper is time-modulated material parameters.…
A global weak solution of the biharmonic wave map equation in the energy space for spherical targets is constructed. The equation is reformulated as a conservation law and solved by a suitable Ginzburg-Landau type approximation.
In a recent article, we propose a general geometric notion of initial data on big bang singularities. This notion is of interest in its own right. However, it also serves the purpose of giving a unified perspective on many of the results in…
We investigate semilinear wave-type equations that can be recast as wave equations with derivatives perturbed by zero-order terms. This framework covers several well-studied cases, including the scale-invariant wave equation. In this…
In this paper, we consider two types of damped wave equations: the weakly damped equation and the strongly damped equation. We recover the initial velocity from the trace of the solution on a space-time cylinder. This inverse problem is…
