We study a class of fourth order curvature flows on a compact Riemannian manifold, which includes the gradient flows of a number of quadratic geometric functionals, as for instance the L2 norm of the curvature. Such flows can develop a…

On the linear level elliptic equilibria of Hamiltonian systems are mere superpositions of harmonic oscillators. Non-linear terms can produce instability, if the ratio of frequencies is rational and the Hamiltonian is indefinite. In this…

We prove that $2$-dimensional $Q$-valued maps that are stationary with respect to outer and inner variations of the Dirichlet energy are H\"older continuous and that the dimension of their singular set is at most one. In the course of the…

We study the heat flow of p-harmonic maps between complete Riemannian manifolds. We prove the global existence of the flow when the initial datum has values in a generalised regular ball. In particular, if the target manifold has…

In the past years, there has been a new light shed on the harmonic map problem with free boundary in view of its connection with nonlocal equations. Here we fully exploit this link, considering the harmonic map flow with free boundary…

Finite time blow-up is shown to occur for solutions to a one-dimensional quasilinear parabolic-parabolic chemotaxis system as soon as the mean value of the initial condition exceeds some threshold value. The proof combines a novel identity…

We consider the energy critical Schr\"odinger map problem with the 2-sphere target for equivariant initial data of homotopy index $k=1$. We show the existence of a codimension one set of smooth well localized initial data arbitrarily close…

We prove that the finite time blow up solutions of type II character constructed by Krieger-Schlag-Tataru as well as Krieger-Schlag are unstable in the energy topology, in that there exist open data sets in the energy topology containing…

For stationary harmonic maps between Riemannian manifolds, we provide a necessary and sufficient condition for the uniform interior and boundary gradient estimates in terms of the total energy of maps. We also show that if analytic target…

We construct examples of finite time singularity from smooth data for linear uniformly parabolic systems in the plane. We obtain similar examples for quasilinear systems with coefficients that depend only on the solution.

We study the elastic flow of closed curves and of open curves with clamped boundary conditions in the hyperbolic plane. While global existence and convergence toward critical points for initial data with sufficiently small energy is already…

For a ball $B_R(0)\subset\mathbb{R}^2$, we provide sufficient conditions such that a harmonic map $u\in C^\infty(B_R(0)\setminus\{0\}, N)$, with a self-similar bound on its gradient, belongs to $C^\infty(B_R(0))$. Those conditions also…

Recent works have demonstrated that continuous self-similar radial Euler flows can drive primary (non-differentiated) flow variables to infinity at the center of motion. Among the variables that blow up at collapse is the pressure, and it…

We investigate the issue of uniqueness of the limit flow for a relevant class of quasi-linear parabolic equations defined on the whole space. More precisely, we shall investigate conditions which guarantee that the global solutions decay at…

We consider a dynamical system given by an area-preserving map on a two-dimensional phase plane and consider a one-dimensional line of initial conditions within this plane. We record the number of iterates it takes a trajectory to escape…

This paper is concerned with blow-up solutions of the five dimensional energy critical heat equation $u_t=\Delta u+|u|^\frac{4}{3}u$. A goal of this paper is to show the existence of type II blowup solutions which behave as…

In this paper we give sufficient conditions that guarantee the meancurvature flow with free boundary on an embedded rotationally symmetric double cone develops a Type 2 curvature singularity. We additionally prove that Type 0 singularities…

Harmonic maps are nonlinear extensions of harmonic functions. They are critical points of natural energy functionals between Riemannian manifolds. Such type of problems appear in Physics, Geometry of Finance and the study of regularity and…

We show that any strictly mean convex translator of dimension $n\geq 3$ which admits a cylindrical estimate and a corresponding gradient estimate is rotationally symmetric. As a consequence, we deduce that any translating solution of the…

At the prime $2$, Behrens, Hill, Hopkins and Mahowald showed $M_2(1,4)$ admits $32$-periodic $v_2$-self-map and more recently authors joint with Mahowald showed $A_1$ also admits $32$-periodic $v_2$-self-map. This leads to the question,…
