The Skyrme model is a geometric field theory and a quasilinear modification of the Nonlinear Sigma Model (Wave Maps). In this paper we study the development of singularities for the equivariant Skyrme Model, in the strong-field limit, where…
In this paper we consider a singular nonlocal viscoelastic problem with a nonlinear source term and a possible damping term. We proved that if the initial data enter into the stable set, the solution exists globally and decays to zero with…
Critical phenomena and Goldstone mode effects in spin models with O(n) rotational symmetry are considered. Starting with the Goldstone mode singularities in the XY and O(4) models, we briefly review different theoretical concepts as well as…
We prove existence and nonexistence results concerning elliptic problems whose basic model is \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} \displaystyle-\Delta u+\mu(x)\frac{|\nabla u|^2}{(u+\delta)^\gamma}= \lambda u^p, &x\in \Omega, \\ u> 0, &x\in…
We study the phenomena of energy concentration for the critical O(3) sigma model, also known as the wave map flow from R^{2+1} Minkowski space into the sphere S^2. We establish rigorously and constructively existence of a set of smooth…
We study the chemotaxis-fluid system \begin{align*} \left\{ \begin{array}{r@{\,}c@{\,}c@{\ }l@{\quad}l@{\quad}l@{\,}c} n_{t}&+&u\cdot\!\nabla n&=\Delta n-\nabla\!\cdot(\frac{n}{c}\nabla c),\ &x\in\Omega,& t>0, c_{t}&+&u\cdot\!\nabla…
Solutions to conservation laws satisfy the monotonicity property: the number of local extrema is a non-increasing function of time, and local maximum/minimum values decrease/increase monotonically in time. This paper investigates this…
It is well-known that shock will form in finite time for hyperbolic conservation laws from initial nonlinear compression no matter how small and smooth the data are. Classical results, including Lax [14], Liu [22], Li-Zhou-Kong [16],…
The cosmological constant $(1/2)\lambda_{1}\phi_{, \mu}\phi ^{, \mu}/\phi ^{2}$ is introduced to the generalized scalar-tensor theory of gravitation with the coupling function $\omega (\phi)=\eta /(\xi -2)$ and the Machian cosmological…
In recent years, a lot of attention has been drawn to the question of whether logistic kinetics is sufficient to enforce the global existence of classical solutions or to prevent finite-time blow-up in various chemotaxis models. The current…
The Cauchy problem for a quasilinear system of hyperbolic equations describing plane one-dimensional relativistic oscillations of electrons in a cold plasma is considered. For some simplified formulation of the problem, a criterion for the…
We investigate the unification scenario provided by the generalised Chaplygin gas model (a perfect fluid characterized by an equation of state p = -A/\rho^{\alpha}). Our concerns lie with a possible tension existing between background…
We consider a coupled Wave-Klein-Gordon system in 3D, and prove global regularity and modified scattering for small and smooth initial data with suitable decay at infinity. This system was derived by Wang and LeFloch-Ma as a simplified…
This paper deals with the quasilinear degenerate chemotaxis system with flux limitation \begin{align*} \begin{cases} u_t = \nabla\cdot\left(\dfrac{u^p \nabla u}{\sqrt{u^2 + |\nabla u|^2}} \right) -\chi \nabla\cdot\left( \dfrac{u^q\nabla…

In 1976, Shlyakhter showed that the Sm data from Oklo results in the upper bound on the time-variability of the fine-structure constant: $|\dot{\alpha}/\alpha| \lsim 10^{-17}{\rm y}^{-1}$, which has ever been the most stringent bound. Since…
We consider the mean-field limit of systems of particles with singular interactions of the type $-\log|x|$ or $|x|^{-s}$, with $0< s<d-2$, and with an additive noise in dimensions $d \geq 3$. We use a modulated-energy approach to prove a…
Consider the relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell system with initial data of unrestricted size. In the two dimensional and the two and a half dimensional cases, Glassey-Schaeffer (1997, 1998, 1998) proved that for regular initial data with compact…
We study the slightly perturbed homogeneous Landau equation \[ \partial_t f = a_{ij}(f) \cdot \partial_{ij} f + \alpha c(f) f, \quad c(f) = - \partial_{ij} a_{ij}(f), \] with very soft potentials, where we increase the nonlinearity from $…
