In this paper we define a new convergence called "asymptotically conic convergence" in which a smooth family of Riemannian metrics on a fixed compact manifold degenerate to a metric with isolated conic singularity. Our results are:…

We consider the following Chern-Simons equation, \begin{equation} \label{0.1} \Delta u+\frac 1{\varepsilon^2} e^u(1-e^u)=4\pi\sum_{i=1}^N \delta_{p_i^\varepsilon},\quad \text{in}\quad \Omega, \end{equation} where $\Omega$ is a 2-dimensional…

A spherical n-gon is a bordered surface homeomorphic to a closed disk, with n distinguished boundary points called corners, equipped with a Riemannian metric of constant curvature 1, except at the corners, and such that the boundary arcs…

In general, solutions $u$ to \[ \Delta u(\mathbf{x})=f(\mathbf{x})\chi_{\{u>\psi\}} \] are not $C^{1,1}$, even for $f$ smooth and $\psi(\mathbf{x})\equiv0$. Points around which $u$ is not $C^{1,1}$ are called singular points, and the set of…

Let $G(z)=G(z;\tau)$ be the Green function on the flat torus $E_{\tau}=\mathbb{C}/(\mathbb{Z}+\mathbb{Z}\tau)$ with the singularity at $0$. Lin and Wang (Ann. Math. 2010) proved that $G(z)$ has either $3$ or $5$ critical points (depending…

Let $\Omega$ be a flat torus and $G$ be the green's function of $-\Delta$ on $\Omega$. One intriguing mystery of $G$ is how the number of its critical points is related to blowup solutions of certain PDEs. In this article we prove that for…

We study singularity formation in two one-dimensional nonlinear wave models with quadratic time-derivative nonlinearities. The non-null model violates the null condition and typically develops finite-time blow-up; the null-form model is…

We give a new, simple proof of the fact recently discovered by C.-S. Lin and C.-L. Wang that the Green function of a torus has either three or five critical points, depending on the modulus of the torus. The proof uses anti-holomorphic…

Given a compact Chern-Ricci flat balanced orbifold, we show that its blow-up at a finite family of smooth points admits constant Chern scalar curvature balanced metrics, extending Arezzo-Pacard's construction to the balanced setting.…

We study the free-boundary equation \[ \Delta u=\chi_{\{|\nabla u|>0\}} \] near the origin. We prove that, at a singular point of \(\partial\{|\nabla u|>0\}\), the quadratic blow-up is unique. As noted in \cite[Notes to Chapter 7]{PSU2012},…

We consider spherically symmetric supercritical focusing wave equations outside a ball. Using mixed analytical and numerical methods, we show that the threshold for blowup is given by a codimension-one stable manifold of the unique static…
