We prove that, in a two-dimensional strip, a steady flow of an ideal incompressible fluid with no stationary point and tangential boundary conditions is a shear flow. The same conclusion holds for a bounded steady flow in a half-plane. The…
For semi-linear wave equations with null form non-linearities on $\mathbb{R}^{3+1}$, we exhibit an open set of initial data which are allowed to be large in energy spaces, yet we can still obtain global solutions in the future. We also…

We develop the asymptotic analysis as $\epsilon\to 0$ for the natural gradient flow of the self-dual $U(1)$-Higgs energies $$E_{\epsilon}(u,\nabla)=\int_M\left(|\nabla u|^2+\epsilon^2|F_{\nabla}|^2+\frac{(1-|u|^2)^2}{4\epsilon^2}\right)$$…
We consider a one dimensional periodic forward-backward parabolic equation, regularized by a non-linear fourth order term of order $\epsilon^2\ll 1$. This equation is known in the literature as Cahn-Hilliard equation with degenerate…

We solve the Einstein constraint equations for a first-order causal viscous relativistic hydrodynamic theory in the case of a conformal fluid. For such a theory, a direct application of the conformal method does not lead to a decoupling of…
