The concern of this paper is the Cauchy problem for the Prandtl equation. This problem is known to be well-posed for analytic data, or for data with monotonicity properties. We prove here that it is linearly ill-posed in Sobolev type…
We consider solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations in $3d$ with vortex filament initial data of arbitrary circulation, that is, initial vorticity given by a divergence-free vector-valued measure of arbitrary mass supported on a smooth…
We show that if a $CD(K,n)$ space $(X,d,f\mathcal{H}^n)$ with $n\geq 2$ has curvature bounded from above by $\kappa$ in the sense of Alexandrov then $f=const$.
We investigate the regularity of the free boundary for a general class of two-phase free boundary problems with non-zero right hand side. We prove that Lipschitz or flat free boundaries are $C^{1,\gamma}$. In particular, viscosity solutions…
This article revisits the instability of sharp shear interfaces, also called vortex sheets, in incompressible fluid flows. We study the Birkhoff-Rott equation, which describes the motion of vortex sheets according to the incompressible…

In this paper we derive the equations of motion for two-layer point vortex motion on the upper half plane. We study the invariants using symmetry, including the Hamiltonian and show that the two vortex problem is integrable. We characterize…
Quantized vortices have been observed in a variety of superfluid systems, from $^4$He to condensates of alkali-metal bosons and ultracold Fermi gases along the BEC-BCS crossover. In this article we study the stability of singly quantized…
Here we investigate the so-called temperature patch problem for the incompressible Boussinesq system with partial viscosity, in the whole space $\mathbb{R}^N$ $(N \geq 2)$, where the initial temperature is the characteristic function of…
Nonnegative measures that are solutions to a transport equation with continuous coefficients have been widely studied. Because of the low regularity of the associated vector field, there is no natural flow since nonuniqueness of integral…
We study the properties of propagating polariton wave-packets and their connection to the stability of doubly charged vortices. Wave-packet propagation and related photoluminescence spectra exhibit a rich behaviour dependent on the…
We develop further the strategy implemented in our series of papers on inhomogeneous two-phase fee boundary problems, to show that flat or Lipschitz free boundaries of such problems are locally $C^{2,\gamma }.$
We present new solutions of noncommutative gauge theories in which coincident unstable vortices expand into unstable circular shells. As the theories are noncommutative, the naive definition of the locations of the vortices and shells is…
We obtain the local well-posedness of a moving boundary problem that describes the swelling of a pocket of water within an infinitely thin elongated pore. Our result involves fine a priori estimates of the moving boundary evolution, Banach…
In this paper, we derive some quantitative estimates for uniformly-rotating vortex patches. We prove that if a non-radial simply-connected patch $D$ is uniformly-rotating with small angular velocity $0 < \Omega \ll 1$, then the outmost…
We note that the Bogomolny equation for abelian vortices is precisely the condition for invariance of the Hermitian-Einstein equation under a degenerate conformal transformation. This leads to a natural interpretation of vortices as…
