In this paper we deal with analytic nonautonomous vector fields with a periodic time-dependancy, that we study near an equilibrium point. In a first part, we assume that the linearized system is split in two invariant subspaces E0 and E1.…
In this work, we study the orbital stability of steady states and the existence of blow-up self-similar solutions to the so-called Vlasov-Manev (VM) system. This system is a kinetic model which has a similar Vlasov structure as the…
Three new models with V-shaped field potentials $U$ are considered: a complex scalar field $X$ in 1+1 dimensions with $U(X)= |X|$, a real scalar field $\Phi$ in 2+1 dimensions with $U(\Phi) = |\Phi|$, and a real scalar field $\phi$ in 1+1…
Three non-existence results are established for self-gravitating solitons in Einstein-Maxwell-scalar models, wherein the scalar field is, generically, non-minimally coupled to the Maxwell field via a scalar function $f(\Phi)$. Firstly, a…
