We prove the developability and $C^{1,1/2}$ regularity of $W^{2,2}$ isometric immersions of $n$-dimensional domains into $R^{n+1}$. As a conclusion we show that any such Sobolev isometry can be approximated by smooth isometries in the…
We extend the Caffarelli-\'Swiech-Winter $C^{1,\alpha}$ regularity estimates to $L^p$-viscosity solutions of fully nonlinear uniformly elliptic equations in nondivergence form with superlinear growth in the gradient and unbounded…
We consider the two dimensional gravity water waves with nonzero constant vorticity in infinite depth. We show that for $s\geq \frac{3}{4}$, the water waves system is locally well-posed in $\mathcal{H}^{s}$, which is the nonzero constant…
We investigate the existence of stationary and traveling wave solutions to the 2D Euler equations near the Couette flow in the infinite channel $\mathbb{R} \times [-1,1]$. For Sobolev spaces $W^{s,p}$ or H\"older spaces $C^s$, we identify…
We prove that for $\omega: \mathbb{R}^2 \to [0,1]$ sharing the same total vorticity and center of vorticity as the Rankine vortex, the $L^1$ deviation from the Rankine patch can be bounded by a function of the pseudo-energy deviation and…
In this paper, we study the vortex patch problem in an ideal fluid in a planar bounded domain. By solving a certain minimization problem and studying the limiting behavior of the minimizer, we prove that for any harmonic function $q$…
Current-vortex sheet is one of the characteristic discontinuities in ideal compressible magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). The motion of current-vortex sheets is described by a free-interface problem of two-phase MHD flows with magnetic fields…
In this paper we construct a family of steady symmetric vortex patches for the incompressible Euler equations in an open disk. The result is obtained by studying a variational problem in which the kinetic energy of the fluid is maximized…
We are concerned with two interrelated problems: smoothability of connection 1-forms with low regularity on bundles with prescribed smooth curvature 2-forms, and existence of isometric immersions with low regularity. We first show that if…
In this paper we study the well-posedness in Sobolev spaces of the incompressible Euler equations in an infinite strip delimited from below by a non-flat bottom and from above by a free-surface. We allow the presence of vorticity and…
In this paper we consider the generalized surface quasi-geostrophic $\alpha$-SQG equations, in the "sublinear regime" $\alpha \in (0, 1)$ and we study the stability of vortex patches close to vortex discs. We shall prove that for regular,…
We prove the optimal global regularity of nonnegative solutions to the porous medium equation in smooth bounded domains with the zero Dirichlet boundary condition after certain waiting time $T^*$. More precisely, we show that solutions are…
We consider weak solutions to a class of Dirichlet boundary value problems invloving the $p$-Laplace operator, and prove that the second weak derivatives are in $L^{q}$ with $q$ as large as it is desirable, provided $p$ is sufficiently…
In their seminal work, Bourgain and Li establish strong ill-posedness of the 2D incompressible Euler equations with vorticity in the critical Sobolev space $W^{s,p}(\mathbb{R}^2)$ for $sp=2$ and $p\in(1,\infty)$. In this note, we establish…
We classify 'primitive normal compactifications' of C^2 (i.e. normal analytic surfaces containing C^2 for which the curve at infinity is irreducible), compute the moduli space of these surfaces and their groups of auomorphisms. In…
We consider the 2D incompressible Euler equation on a bounded simply connected domain $\Omega$. We give sufficient conditions on the domain $\Omega$ so that for all initial vorticity $\omega_0 \in L^{\infty}(\Omega)$ the weak solutions are…
We deal with the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, in two and three dimensions, when some vortex patches are prescribed as initial data i.e. when there is an internal boundary across which the vorticity is discontinuous. We show…
Let $(M,g)$ be a smooth connected Riemannian manifold. We show an improvement of flatness theorem for hypersurfaces of $M$ of bounded nonlocal mean curvature in the viscosity sense. It implies local $ C^{1,\alpha}$ regularity of these…
We study the one-phase Alt-Phillips free boundary problem, focusing on the case of negative exponents $\gamma \in (-2,0)$. The goal of this paper is twofold. On the one hand, we prove smoothness of $C^{1,\alpha}$-regular free boundaries by…
We prove that the inviscid surface quasi-geostrophic (SQG) equations are strongly ill-posed in critical Sobolev spaces: there exists an initial data $H^{2}(\bbT^2)$ without any solutions in $L^\infty_{t}H^{2}$. Moreover, we prove strong…
