A major challenge in the study of the structure of the three-dimensional homology cobordism group is to understand the interaction between hyperbolic geometry and homology cobordism. In this paper, for a hyperbolic homology sphere $Y$ we…
We remark on two different free-boundary problems for holomorphic curves in nearly-K\"{a}hler 6-manifolds. First, we observe that a holomorphic curve in a geodesic ball $B$ of the round 6-sphere that meets $\partial B$ orthogonally must be…
We construct, for any given positive integer $n$, Reeb flows on contact integral homology 3-spheres which do not admit global surfaces of section with fewer than $n$ boundary components. We use a connected sum operation for open books to…
Motivated by its relation to models of flame propagation, we study globally Lipschitz solutions of $\Delta u=f(u)$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$, where $f$ is smooth, non-negative, with support in the interval $[0,1]$. In such setting, any "blow-down"…
This is a continuation of the paper 'Symmetry breaking and other phenomena in the optimization of eigenvalues for composite membranes' by S. Chanillo, D. Grieser, M. Imai, K. Kurata, and I. Ohnishi. Again, we consider the following…
We study the stationary nonhomogeneous Navier--Stokes problem in a two dimensional symmetric domain with a semi-infinite outlet (for instance, either parabo-\\loidal or channel-like). Under the symmetry assumptions on the domain, boundary…
We consider the homogenization problem of the compressible Navier-Stokes equations in a bounded three dimensional domain perforated with very tiny holes. As the number of holes increases to infinity, we show that, if the size of the holes…
We consider a Plateau problem in codimension $1$ in the non-parametric setting. A Dirichlet boundary datum is given only on part of the boundary $\partial \Omega$ of a bounded convex domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^2$. Where the Dirichlet…
The O(3) nonlinear sigma model with boundary, in dimension two, is considered. An algorithm to determine all its soliton solutions that preserve a rotational symmetry in the boundary is exhibited. This nonlinear problem is reduced to that…
In this article we study a Bernoulli-type free boundary problem and generalize a work of Henrot and Shahgholian in \cite{HS1} to $\mathcal{A}$-harmonic PDEs. These are quasi-linear elliptic PDEs whose structure is modeled on the $p$-Laplace…
In this manuscript we consider semilinear PDEs, with a convex nonlinearity, in a sector-like domain. Using cylindrical coordinates $(r, \theta, z)$, we investigate the shape of solutions whose derivative in $\theta$ vanishes at the…
In this work we deal with a following nonlinear Schrodinger equation in dimension greater or equal to 3, with a subcritical power-type nonlinearity and a positive potential satisfying a local condition. We prove the existence and…
We construct two new one-parameter families of monotonicity formulas to study the free boundary points in the lower dimensional obstacle problem. The first one is a family of Weiss type formulas geared for points of any given homogeneity…
We discuss simple cosmological solutions of Horava-Witten theory describing the strongly coupled heterotic string. At energies below the grand-unified scale, the effective theory is five- not four-dimensional, where the additional…
In this work we present the homogenization of a reaction-diffusion model that includes an evolving microstructure. Such type of problems model, for example, mineral dissolution and precipitation in a porous medium. Hence, we are dealing…
We study the periodic homogenization for convex Hamilton-Jacobi equations on perforated domains under the Neumann type boundary conditions. We consider two types of conditions, the oblique derivative boundary condition and the prescribed…
In this paper, we introduce the notion of variational free boundary problem. Namely, we say that a free boundary problem is variational if its solutions can be characterized as the critical points of some shape functional. Moreover, we…
We are concerned with the global bifurcation analysis of positive solutions to free boundary problems arising in plasma physics. We show that in general, in the sense of domain variations, the following alternative holds: either the shape…
We revisit the exact solution of the two space-time dimensional quantum field theory of a free massless boson with a periodic boundary interaction and self-dual period. We analyze the model by using a mapping to free fermions with a…
We study the long-time behavior of solutions of the one-phase Stefan problem in inhomogeneous media in dimensions $n \geq 2$. Using the technique of rescaling which is consistent with the evolution of the free boundary, we are able to show…
