We consider a charged spinless quantum particle confined to a graph consisting of a loop to which a halfline lead is attached; this system is placed into a homogeneous magnetic field perpendicular to the loop plane. We derive the reflection…
We prove Hoelder continuity for n/2-harmonic maps from subsets of Rn into a sphere. This extends a recent one-dimensional result by F. Da Lio and T. Riviere to arbitrary dimensions. The proof relies on compensation effects which we quantify…
In this paper, we establish the global existence of small solutions to the inhomogeneous Navier-Stokes system in the half-space. The initial density only has to be bounded and close enough to a positive constant, and the initial velocity…
In this paper we consider a semi-linear, energy-critical, shifted wave equation on the hyperbolic space ${\mathbb H}^n$ with $3 \leq n \leq 5$: \[ \partial_t^2 u - (\Delta_{{\mathbb H}^n} + \rho^2) u = \zeta |u|^{4/(n-2)} u, \quad (x,t)\in…
We consider an inverse boundary value problem for the Maxwell's equations with a given data assumed to be known only in accessible part $\Gamma$ of the boundary. We aim to prove an uniqueness result using the Dirichlet to Neumann map with…

In this paper we consider finite energy, \ell-equivariant wave maps from 1+3-dimensional Minkowski space exterior to the unit ball at the origin into the 3-sphere. We impose a Dirichlet boundary condition at r=1, which in this context means…
Purely gravitational pp-waves in AdS backgrounds are described by the generalised Kaigorodov metrics, and they generically preserve 1/4 of the maximum supersymmetry allowed by the AdS spacetimes. We obtain 1/2 supersymmetric purely…
