We study the connection between the theory of spherical designs and the question of extrema of the height function of lattices. More precisely, we show that a full-rank n-dimensional Euclidean lattice, all layers of which hold a spherical…
A sharp pointwise differential inequality for vectorial second-order partial differential operators, with Uhlenbeck structure, is offered. As a consequence, optimal second-order regularity properties of solutions to nonlinear elliptic…
In this paper, we are concerned with the following elliptic equation $$ ( SC_\varepsilon ) \qquad \begin{cases} -\Delta u = |u|^{4/(n-2)}u [\ln (e+|u|)]^\varepsilon & \hbox{ in } \Omega,\\ u = 0 & \hbox{ on }\partial \Omega, \end{cases} $$…
We prove the existence of a constant $C > 0$ such that for any Riemannian metric $g$ on a 2-dimensional sphere $S^2$, there exist two distinct closed geodesics with lengths $L_{1}$ and $L_{2}$ satisfying $L_{1} L_{2} \leq C \cdot…
We introduce and investigate a generalization of the Hele-Shaw flow with injection where several droplets compete for space as they try to expand due to internal pressure while still preserving their topology. Droplets are described by…
We consider second order elliptic divergence form systems with complex measurable coefficients $A$ that are independent of the transversal coordinate, and prove that the set of $A$ for which the boundary value problem with $L_2$ Dirichlet…
In this paper we study the large time behavior of the solutions to the following nonlinear fourth-order equations $$ \partial_t u=\Delta e^{-\Delta u}, $$ $$ \partial_t u=-u^2\Delta^2(u^3). $$ These two PDE were proposed as models of the…
Steady vortices for the three-dimensional Euler equation for inviscid incompressible flows and for the shallow water equation are constructed and showed to tend asymptotically to singular vortex filaments. The construction is based on the…
Elliptic stochastic differential equations (SDE) make sense when the coefficients are only continuous. We study the corresponding linearized SDE whose coefficients are not assumed to be locally bounded. This leads to existence of…
In the framework of the PDE's algebraic topology, previously introduced by A. Pr\'astaro, are considered {\em exotic differential equations}, i.e., differential equations admitting Cauchy manifolds $N$ identifiable with exotic spheres, or…
We consider standing waves of the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation $i\partial_t u = -\Delta_\alpha u + |u|^{p-1}u$ in the defocusing case in dimensions $N=2$ and $N=3$. Here, $-\Delta_\alpha$ denotes the Laplacian with a point interaction.…
We study a supersymmetric partition function of topological vortices in 3d N=4,3 gauge theories on R^2 x S^1, and use it to explore Seiberg-like dualities with Fayet-Iliopoulos deformations. We provide a detailed support of these dualities…
It is shown that the hydrodynamics equations for a thin spherical liquid layer are satisfied by the stream function of a pair of antipodal vortices-APV, in contrast to the stream function of a single point vortex on a sphere with a…
In this paper, we establish the existence of Stokes waves with piecewise smooth vorticity in a two-dimensional, infinitely deep fluid domain. These waves represent traveling water waves propagating over sheared currents in a semi-infinite…
We consider embedded ring-type surfaces (that is, compact, connected, orientable surfaces with two boundary components and Euler-Poincar\'{e} characteristic zero) in ${\bold R}^3$ of constant mean curvature which meet planes $\Pi_1$ and…
We investigate a natural analog to Lutwak's $p$-affine surface area in $d$-dimensional spherical, hyperbolic and de Sitter space. In particular, we show that these curvature measures appear naturally as the volume derivative of floating…
