We prove a uniqueness result for BV solutions of scalar conservation laws with discontinuous flux in several space dimensions. The proof is based on the notion of kinetic solution and on a careful analysis of the entropy dissipation along…
Kink oscillations of coronal loops, i.e., standing kink waves, is one of the most studied dynamic phenomena in the solar corona. The oscillations are excited by impulsive energy releases, such as low coronal eruptions. Typical periods of…
The set of volumes of stable surfaces does have accumulation points. In this paper, we study this phenomenon for surfaces with one cyclic quotient singularity, towards answering the question under which conditions we can still have…

We study the derivation of second order macroscopic traffic models from kinetic descriptions. In particular, we recover the celebrated Aw-Rascle model as the hydrodynamic limit of an Enskog-type kinetic equation out of a precise…
Gauge theory compactified on an orbifold is defined by gauge symmetry, matter contents, and boundary conditions. There are equivalence classes (ECs), each of which consists of physically equivalent boundary conditions. We propose the…
Perhaps the most basic question we can ask about cosmological correlations is how their strength changes as we smoothly vary kinematic parameters. The answer is encoded in differential equations that govern this evolution in kinematic…
A quasi-linear hyperbolic partial differential equation with a discontinuous flux models geologic carbon dioxide migration and storage. Dual flux curves characterize the model, giving rise to flux discontinuities. One convex flux describes…

In this paper we investigate the flow of surfaces by a class of symmetric functions of the principal curvatures with a mixed volume constraint. We consider compact surfaces without boundary that can be written as a graph over a sphere. The…
Inspired by ``fracton hydrodynamic" universality classes of dynamics with unusual conservation laws, we present a new dynamical universality class that arises out of local area-preserving dynamics in the non-commutative plane. On this…
The hydrodynamic limit for a kinetic model of chemotaxis is investigated. The limit equation is a non local conservation law, for which finite time blow-up occurs, giving rise to measure-valued solutions and discontinuous velocities. An…
In this paper we introduce and discuss kinetic equations for the evolution of the probability distribution of the number of particles in a population subject to binary interactions. The microscopic binary law of interaction is assumed to be…
The granular gas is a paradigm for understanding the effects of inelastic interactions in granular materials. Kinetic theory provides a general theoretical framework for describing the granular gas. Its central result is that the tail of…
In Euclidean space, we investigate surfaces whose mean curvature $H$ satisfies the equation $H=\alpha\langle N,\mathbf{x}\rangle+\lambda$, where $N$ is the Gauss map, $\mathbf{x}$ is the position vector and $\alpha$ and $\lambda$ are two…
We study a particular deformation of the potential KdV model (pKdV) and construct the quasi-conservation laws by a direct method. The charge densities, differing from their integrable counterpart with homogeneous degree terms, exhibit mixed…
Let $(M,\overline{g})$ be a K\"ahler surface, and $\Sigma$ an immersed surface in $M$. The K\"ahler angle of $\Sigma$ in $M$ is introduced by Chern-Wolfson \cite{CW}. Let $(M,\overline{g}(t))$ evolve along the K\"ahler-Ricci flow, and…
