In a recent work, two of the authors have formulated the non-linear space-time Hasegawa-Mima plasma equation as a coupled system of two linear PDEs, a solution of which is a pair $(u,w)$, with $w=(I-\Delta)u$. The first equation is of…
We establish weak well-posedness for SDEs having discontinuous diffusion coefficients and general distributional drifts that may introduce local blow up effects. Our drifts satisfy minimal assumptions, i.e.\,we assume only that the Cauchy…
We investigate the role weakly damped modes play in the selection of Faraday wave patterns forced with rationally-related frequency components m*omega and n*omega. We use symmetry considerations to argue for the special importance of the…
A classical theorem due to Mattila (see \cite{Mat84}; see also \cite{M95}, Chapter 13) says that if $A,B \subset {\Bbb R}^d$ of Hausdorff dimension $s_A, s_B$, respectively, with $s_A+s_B \ge d$, $s_B>\frac{d+1}{2}$ and $dim_{{\mathcal…

We offer a new proof of Furstenberg and Katznelson's density version of the Hales-Jewett Theorem: For any $\delta > 0$ there is some $N_0 \geq 1$ such that whenever $A \subseteq [k]^N$ with $N \geq N_0$ and $|A|\geq \delta k^N$, $A$…

It has been stated that for a short-ranged surface interaction, the probability of a low-energy particle sticking to a surface always vanishes as $s\sim k$ with $k\to 0$ where $k=\sqrt{E}$. Deviations from this so-called universal threshold…
