Hypersemitoric systems are 2-degree-of-freedom integrable systems on 4-dimensional manifolds that have an underlying $S^1$-symmetry and no degenerate singularities apart from maybe a finite number of families of so-called parabolic…
We consider the energy super critical $d+1$ dimensional semilinear heat equation $$\partial_tu=\Delta u+u^{p}, \ \ x\in \Bbb R^{d+1}, \ \ p\geq 3, \ d\geq 14.$$ A fundamental open problem on this canonical nonlinear model is to understand…
Chaotic hyperbolic dynamical systems enjoy a surprising degree of rigidity, a fact which is well known in the mathematics community but perhaps less so in theoretical physics circles. Low-dimensional hyperbolic systems are either conjugate…
Blow up in a one-dimensional semilinear heat equation is studied using a combination of numerical and analytical tools. The focus is on problems periodic in the space variable and starting out from a nearly flat, positive initial condition.…
In dynamical systems theory, a fixed point of the dynamics is called nonhyperbolic if the linearization of the system around the fixed point has at least one eigenvalue with zero real part. The center manifold existence theorem guarantees…
We study singularity formation in two one-dimensional nonlinear wave models with quadratic time-derivative nonlinearities. The non-null model violates the null condition and typically develops finite-time blow-up; the null-form model is…
