Furthering the development of Da Lio-Gianocca-Rivi\`ere's Morse stability theory (arXiv:2212.03124) that was first applied to harmonic maps between manifolds and later extended to the case of Willmore immersions (arXiv:2306.04608-04609), we…

We study the low-energy solutions to the 3D compressible Navier-Stokes-Poisson equations. We first obtain the existence of smooth solutions with small $L^2$-norm and essentially bounded densities. No smallness assumption is imposed on the…
We study a two-dimensional quaternary inhibitory system. This free energy functional combines an interface energy favoring micro-domain growth with a Coulomb-type long range interaction energy which prevents micro-domains from unlimited…
The biharmonic flow of hypersurfaces $M^n$ immersed in the Euclidean space $\mathbb {R}^{n+1}$ for $n\geq 2$ is given by a fourth order geometric evolution equation, which is similar to the Willmore flow. We apply the Michael-Simon-Sobolev…

A marginally trapped surface in the four-dimensional Minkowski space is a spacelike surface whose mean curvature vector is lightlike at each point. We associate a geometrically determined moving frame field to such a surface and using the…
Area-constrained critical surfaces for the Hawking quasi-local energy ("Hawking surfaces") provide a natural setting for that energy: they enjoy positivity and rigidity properties. We construct large-scale foliations at infinity by Hawking…
Noether's theorem, which connects continuous symmetries to exact conservation laws, remains one of the most fundamental principles in physics and dynamical systems. In this work, we draw a conceptual parallel between two paradigms: the…
Recently, Dinew and Popovici introduced and studied an energy functional $F$ acting on the metrics in the Aeppli cohomology class of a Hermitian-symplectic metric and showed that in dimension 3 its critical points (if any) are K\"ahler. In…
In this paper we study a constrained minimization problem for the Willmore functional. For prescribed surface area we consider smooth embeddings of the sphere into the unit ball. We evaluate the dependence of the the minimal Willmore energy…
Nematic liquid crystals in a polyhedral domain, a prototype for bistable displays, may be described by a unit-vector field subject to tangent boundary conditions. Here we consider the case of a rectangular prism. For configurations with…
We examine the equilibrium conditions of a curve in space when a local energy penalty is associated with its extrinsic geometrical state characterized by its curvature and torsion. To do this we tailor the theory of deformations to the…
