We establish sharp quantitative multi-bubble stability for non-sign-changing critical points of the fractional Hardy-Sobolev inequality in the low-dimensional regime $2s<N<6s-2t$. For functions whose energy is close to that of a finite…
Using a new method we give elementary estimates for the capacity of non-contractible annuli on cylinders and provide examples, where these inequalities are sharp. Here the lower bound depends only on the area of the annulus. In the case of…

We prove a Riemannian positive mass theorem for manifolds with a single asymptotically flat end, but otherwise arbitrary other ends, which can be incomplete and contain negative scalar curvature. The incompleteness and negativity is…
We consider the 3D Boltzmann equation for the Maxwellian particle and soft potential with an angular cutoff. We prove sharp global well-posedness with initial data small in the scaling-critical space. The solution also remains in $L^{1}$ if…
We consider a class of attractive-repulsive energies, given by the sum of two nonlocal interactions with power-law kernels, defined over sets with fixed measure. It has recently been proved by R. Frank and E. Lieb that the ball is the…
We study the loss of hyperbolicity of perturbation equations for black hole solutions of scalar Gauss-Bonnet gravity. We consider a class of coupling functions allowing for static black hole solutions with arbitrary small masses. For masses…
We show uniqueness and stability in $L^2$ and for all time for piecewise-smooth solutions to hyperbolic balance laws. We have in mind applications to gas dynamics, the isentropic Euler system and the full Euler system for a polytropic gas…
The objective of this paper is two-fold. First, we establish new sharp quantitative estimates for Faber-Krahn inequalities on simply connected space forms. We prove that the gap between the first eigenvalue of a given set $\Omega$ and that…
The paper presents analytic expressions of minimax (worst-case) estimates for solutions of linear abstract Neumann problems in Hilbert space with uncertain (not necessarily bounded!) inputs and boundary conditions given incomplete…
We study the Cauchy problem for an inhomogeneous Gross-Pitaevskii equation. We first derive a sharp threshold for global existence and blow up of the solution. Then we construct and classify finite time blow up solutions at the minimal mass…
We prove quantitative decay rates for the linearised Vlasov-Poisson system around compactly supported equilibria. More precisely, we prove decay of the gravitational potential induced by the radial dynamics of this system in the presence of…
We review and develop a new class of "dark energy" models, in which the relativistic theory of solids is used to construct material models of dark energy. These are models which include the effects of a continuous medium with well defined…
