It is well known that an $m$-dimensional Riemannian manifold can be locally isometrically embedded into the $m+1$-dimensional Euclidean space if and only if there exists a symmetric 2-tensor field satisfying the Gauss and Codazzi equations.…

We review recent results on global attractors of U(1)-invariant dispersive Hamiltonian systems. We study several models based on the Klein-Gordon equation and sketch the proof that in these models, under certain generic assumptions, the…
This paper is devoted to initial-boundary value problem of an extensible beam equation with degenerate nonlocal energy damping in $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n$: $u_{tt}-\kappa\Delta u+\Delta^2u-\gamma(\Vert \Delta u\Vert^2+\Vert…
We consider a family of linearly viscoelastic shells with thickness $2\varepsilon$, clamped along a portion of their lateral face, all having the same middle surface $S=\mathbf{\theta}(\bar{\omega})\subset \mathbb{R}^3$, where…
A well-known diffuse interface model for incompressible isothermal mixtures of two immiscible fluids consists of the Navier-Stokes system coupled with a convective Cahn-Hilliard equation. In some recent contributions the standard…
Let $M$ be a strongly pseudoconvex complex $G$-manifold with compact quotient $M/G$. We provide a simple condition on forms $\alpha$ sufficient for the regular solvability of the equation $\square u=\alpha$ and other problems related to the…
We develop a suitable generalization of Almgren's theory of varifolds in a lorentzian setting, focusing on area, first variation, rectifiability, compactness and closure issues. Motivated by the asymptotic behaviour of the scaled hyperbolic…
We consider the Einstein constraints on asymptotically euclidean manifolds $M$ of dimension $n \geq 3$ with sources of both scaled and unscaled types. We extend to asymptotically euclidean manifolds the constructive method of proof of…
We investigate whether there are attractor equations for N=1 flux vacua in generalized compactifications. We fill a gap in the existing literature by verifying analytically that the recently proposed susy attractors, for type IIB CY(3)…
A new approach to Nori's weak Lefschetz theorem is described. The new approach, which involves the dbar-method, avoids moving arguments and gives much stronger results. In particular, it is proved that if X and Y are connected smooth…
We study the rigidity of compact submanifolds of Riemannian manifolds of arbitrary codimension that satisfy a sharp pinching condition involving the norm of the second fundamental form and the mean curvature. Without assuming that the…
The Bargmann-Wigner formalism is adapted to spherical surfaces embedded in three to eleven dimensions. This is demonstrated to generate wave equations in spherical space for a variety of antisymmetric tensor fields. Some of these equations…
We show the existence of a weak bi-invariant symmetric nondegenerate 2-form on the volume-preserving diffeomorphism group of a three-dimensional manifold and study its properties. Despite the fact that the space $\mathcal{D}_\mu(M^3)$ is…
We give a sufficient condition on nonlinearities of an SDE on a compact connected Riemannian manifold $M$ which implies that laws of all solutions converge weakly to the normalized Riemannian volume measure on $M$. This result is further…
We show that the two-dimensional structure of a rigidly rotating self-gravitating body is accessible with relatively good precision by assuming a purely spheroidal stratification. With this hypothesis, the two-dimensional problem becomes…
In this paper, we study the long-time dynamics for the wave equation with nonlocal weak damping and sup-cubic nonlinearity in a bounded smooth domain of $\mathbb{R}^3.$ Based on the Strichartz estimates for the case of bounded domains, we…

We prove a novel unique continuation result for weak bisolutions to the massive Klein-Gordon equation on a 2-dimensional cylinder M. Namely, if such a bisolution vanishes in a neighbourhood of a `sufficiently large' portion of a…
In [Lacave, IHP, ana, to appear (2008)] the author considered the two dimensional Euler equations in the exterior of a thin obstacle shrinking to a curve and determined the limit velocity. In the present work, we consider the same problem…
