We establish Liouville type theorems for elliptic systems with various classes of non-linearities on $\mathbb{R}^N$. We show among other things, that a system has no semi-stable solution in any dimension, whenever the infimum of the…
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 show that given an initial vorticity which is bounded and $m$-fold rotationally symmetric for $m \ge 3$, there is a unique global solution to the 2D Euler equation on the whole plane. That is, in the well-known $L^1 \cap L^\infty$ theory…

We prove a Liouville type theorem for entire maximal $m$-subharmonic functions in $\mathbb C^n$ with bounded gradient. This result, coupled with a standard blow-up argument, yields a (non-explicit) a priori gradient estimate for the complex…

We consider the minimal mass $m_0$ required for solutions to the mass-critical nonlinear Schr\"odinger (NLS) equation $iu_t + \Delta u = \mu |u|^{4/d} u$ to blow up. If $m_0$ is finite, we show that there exists a minimal-mass solution…
