We show that H\"{o}lder continuous incompressible Euler flows that satisfy the local energy inequality ("globally dissipative" solutions) exhibit nonuniqueness and contain examples that strictly dissipate kinetic energy. The collection of…

We consider smooth area-preserving flows (also known as locally Hamiltonian flows) on surfaces of genus $g\geq 1$ and study ergodic integrals of smooth observables along the flow trajectories. We show that these integrals display a…

Let $\Sigma$ be a smooth Riemannian manifold, $\Gamma \subset \Sigma$ a smooth closed oriented submanifold of codimension higher than $2$ and $T$ an integral area-minimizing current in $\Sigma$ which bounds $\Gamma$. We prove that the set…

We study critical surfaces for a surface energy which contains the squared $L^2$ norm of the difference of the mean curvature $H$ and the spontaneous curvature $c_o$, coupled to the elastic energy of the boundary curve. We investigate the…

According to the celebrated Bolgiano--Obukhov \citep{Bolgiano_1959,Obukhov_1959} phenomenology for moderately stably stratified turbulence, the energy spectrum in the inertial range shows a dual scaling; the kinetic energy follows (i) $\sim…

We extend the notion of a pseudoholomorphic vector of Iwaniec, Verchota, and Vogel to mappings between Riemannian manifolds. Since this class of mappings contains both quasiregular mappings and (pseudo)holomorphic curves, we call them…

We study continuity properties of Sobolev mappings $f \in W_{\mathrm{loc}}^{1,n} (\Omega, \mathbb{R}^n)$, $n \ge 2$, that satisfy the following generalized finite distortion inequality \[\lvert Df(x)\rvert^n \leq K(x) J_f(x) + \Sigma (x)\]…

We consider the Schr\"odinger map initial value problem into the sphere in 2+1 dimensions with smooth, decaying, subthreshold initial data. Assuming an a priori $L^4$ boundedness condition on the solution, we prove that the Schr\"odinger…

We revisit a result by Cuccagna, Kirr and Pelinovsky about the cubic nonlinear Schr\" odinger equation (NLS) with an attractive localized potential and a time-dependent factor in the nonlinearity. We show that, under generic hypotheses on…

Relevant physical phenomena are described by nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations with non-vanishing conditions at infinity. This paper investigates the respective 2D and 3D Cauchy problems. Local well-posedness in the energy space for…

Eleven-dimensional supergravity admits non-supersymmetric solutions of the form AdS(5)xM(6) where M(6) is a positive Kahler-Einstein space. We show that the necessary and sufficient condition for such solutions to be stable against…

Using the Oh-Schwarz spectral invariants and some arguments of Frauenfelder, Ginzburg, and Schlenk, we show that the \pi_1-sensitive Hofer-Zehnder capacity of any subset of a closed symplectic manifold is less than or equal to its…

We are concerned with the two-power nonlinear Schr\"odinger-type equations with non-local terms. We consider the framework of Sobolev-Lorentz spaces which contain singular functions with infinite-energy. Our results include global…

We give a simplified approach to Kunzinger & Saemann's theory of Lorentzian length spaces in the globally hyperbolic case; these provide a nonsmooth framework for general relativity. We close a gap in the regularly localizable setting, by…

For a compact spinc manifold $X$ with boundary $b_1(\partial X)=0$, we consider moduli spaces of solutions to the Seiberg-Witten equations in a generalized double Coulomb slice in $L^2_1$ (i.e., $W^{1,2}$) Sobolev regularity. We prove they…

The recently proposed low degree-of-freedom model of Moffat and Kimura [1,2] for describing the approach to finite-time singularity of the incompressible Euler fluid equations is investigated. The model assumes an initial finite-energy…

Given a compact Riemannian manifold $(M^n,g)$ and a fixed cohomology class, $[\alpha^*] \in H^k(M)$, we consider the existence of a minimizer $\alpha \in [\alpha^*]$ of the generalized minimal surface energy $\int_M \sqrt{1+|\alpha|^2}…

We study the energy cascade problematic for some nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations on the torus $\T^2$ in terms of the growth of Sobolev norms. We define the notion of long-time strong instability and establish its connection to the…

In this article we study the regularity of stationary points of the knot energies $E^\alpha$ introduced by O'Hara in the range $\alpha \in (2,3)$. In a first step we prove that $E^\alpha$ is $C^1$ on the set of all regular embedded closed…
